A: Yes, but rarely, and only with guildmates on our forums.

Q: How can I join your guild?

A: Shukumei has a lovely info page on, who else's petpage but Info's!
http://www.neopets.com/~Info

Q: Do you have time to take art/adoptable requests/trades?

A: Unfortunately I barely have time to even take commissions in real life! As for adoptables, if I'm looking to trade I'll contact you. ;)

Q: How about a comic collaboration for the Neopian Times?

A: Sorry, same answer as above.

Q: How do you have more than four Neopets on your account?

A: I don't! I get this question way too much! If you so much as click on any of my "other four" neopet's pictures, you'll see that it doesn't take you to their petlookups, it takes you to the side account that they're all on. I only added one big picture with all four of their Neopet images on it!

Q: Do you have time to code/critique...?

A: I get a lot of requests asking me to code petpages for people, or even critique stories. I apologize, but unless I come to you first, all I can do is point you in the right directions. That, of course, doesn't mean I'll answer just a little question you have! Don't be shy to ask. Everyone around here seems to think they're either wasting my time or bothering me... We'll you're not!

Q: What art programs do you use?

A: I draw all of my pictures in Photoshop CS3 with my old Wacom Tablet. :) I recommend both (or any version of Photoshop really) for anyone who really wants to work on their Design Graphics!

Q: I saw someone using (stolen artwork) in their BC/Petpage!

A: Yikes! Thanks for letting me know. In these situations I usually neomail them to let them know what they've done is against Neopets' rules. No harm, no foul.

Q: I sent in an application to Shukumei and I--

A: Ahh! I'm really sorry, but I don't deal with applications. :( I don't have access to the guild account (because sharing accounts is against the rules) so I don't have access to applications. That also means that I have no idea when applications will next open, I'm sorry!

Q: Can I please use the music on (so-and-so)'s petpage?

A: Sorry, but I upload all my music to my own file-hosting site. If you use the same URL, my bandwidth will only be eaten up faster, which means my account's monthly crashes will happen sooner than they already do! :(

Q: What does 'Lachtaube' mean?

A: A Lachtaube is an African Dove, though I've been told it can also mean 'laughing pigeon'.

Q: Can I borrow (avatar item) from your gallery?

A: Sorry, I don't lend avatar items, even for full collateral. :(
