Tian Ai
Melriza - Hi!! Of course we couldn't forget you D: Looking forward to more of your art! wub.gif I'm not sure which fanart you saw so I can't say anything tongue.gif hope it wasn't mine... I hope you're having a great time at university, please drop by every once in awhile to let us know what's happening biggrin.gif

Tombow - I'll keep checking my messages though.. maybe a couple months later she'll reply X) Yeah, it's funny.. my typical conversation with a stranger:
Stranger: So are you from China? [99% always their first guess tongue.gif]
Me: Nope biggrin.gif
Stranger: Oh.. Japan?
Me: Nope happy.gif
Stranger: Hmm.. Korea?
Me: No tongue.gif
Stranger: Uh.. Australia?
Me: blink.gif

CodenameElizabeth - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-deepbreath-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oww my stomach hurts from laughing sad.gif

Aww, 18.. off by six years.. maybe I'll convince my parents.. tongue.gif

The New Fullmetal Alchemist
Hoooraay! I'm home! smile.gif London was awesome! It rained and my dad sucked with directions (making a five minute bus-ride turn into a two-hour nightmare blink.gif), but it was still great!

So, how have you all been? I'm going to go backwards now and catch up on all that I missed! I missed you guys! wub.gif

EDIT: DONE!!!! Although the last couple of pages are a hazy, whirly blur... I feel funny... time zones are funny... just be glad that you are all seperated from me by miles and miles of cables and computers, because I am in a dangerous mood right now... and by "dangerous" I mean anything will set me off in hysterics, and I'm prone to take up random accents when talking with family, friends, and whoever calls our house... I think I need to go lie down now... laugh.gif My fingers are numb... why is the screen moving? Did you know that drinking a Pepsi makes your nose feel fizzy? Pastie is a funny word - but it's a great meal when you're in London! Ok, I'm done now... But before I go, status report!!! (I feel like I'm back on the tubes... or that bus with the crazy driver... everything is moving in funny directions...)

@ Keoni - wonderful fics! smile.gif They have both been added to the C2!
@ Tian Ai - yeah, that three day thing sucks, doesn't it? laugh.gif But for some reason FF.net wouldn't let me get onto your story... would you mind just linking your account profile page for me? Thanks! I can't wait to read it!
@ CodenameElizabeth - once again, great cosplay pics! Those photoshop pics were awesome as well! I think I'll do a few like the first one - reminds me of Mystery Science Theater 3000 Have you ever seen that? It's hilarious! I also remember reading something about goldfish and a Roy pimp, but that may be my dog talking... I feel loopy... Wheee! laugh.gif
@ Tombow - I guess I'll start on the scanlations, then! smile.gif Would you mind telling me which page you started the translation on? Thanks a bunch! I'll scanlate the first page and post it to make sure everything looks ok...

You know, I think this is what "getting high" feels like... and to be honest, I don't like it... DON'T DO DRUGS, KIDS!!! (I'm glad I'm sitting down... heehee! Funny feeling makes me go *whooosh!!* Time zones are funny - we had to go into Amsterdam to get to London - and b/c of the time zones, we landed in London at the same time the flight took off from Amsterdam... Yup, time zones are funny... I feel funny... Uh-oh, I feel manic laughter and an Irish accent coming on...)

I'm going to go and get some sleep now! I'll do my best to post either:
a) one scanlated page of red marker
or
cool.gif (<--- That's supposed to be the letter "b"...) the first part of my V-day fic
sometime tomorrow! G'night! I'll also post a few London pics, if you'd like! smile.gif
Tian Ai
TNFMA - Yay!! Welcome back! biggrin.gif What'd you do in London besides get lost with your dad?? biggrin.gif LOL, you crack me up when you're high!! Oh dear.. and I'd love to see some London pics! happy.gif

My account page


Actually I came here to post some more fanart.. because I'm just awesomely shameless like that D:

[I tried to do attachments but it kept uploading for the longest time so my impatient self took over and cancelled it blink.gif I'm sorry!]

And the Rain Just Won't Stop Falling

I forgot to post that up blink.gif It looks awkward D8(

Silence Speaks For Us

Another rain theme ph34r.gif I did this one just now.. lately when I try to draw nothing comes out so I was glad I could draw this..

Uh, sorry about all the eraser smudges, I've been drawing like that all these years so I couldn't break the habit ph34r.gif I guess there's still time though.. I'm 12..

Sorry, I just rambled ph34r.gif
Chiyo
Okay, its worth a shot, some of you may have read this. It's in our own fictions section but isn't liked. Posting the link to chapter one but it is a complete fic if you wish to go on and read it all. As I say it does seem Ed/Win to begin with but it is based upon Roy/Riza initially.

And yes, I have made OC's for this fic but I do so hope you don't see any Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu in them. I worked hard to getting Grace Elric and Max Mustang just right.

Illegitimate Child Chapter One
The New Fullmetal Alchemist
Great job, Tian Ai! I've just sent you a review. smile.gif (on your fic, that is!) As for your artwork - very lovely! I especially like the first one!

Chiyo - I've read that before! blink.gif I can't remember how, but I have... was it my friend that showed it to me, or have you linked it in the past? I can't remember... Anyway, the first time I read it you had maybe one or two chapters up! Now it looks like you've finished! I'll have to go through and start catching up, then! laugh.gif

Both of your stories have been added to the Royai thread's C2. smile.gif

In my previous post, when I was talking to CodenameElizabeth, I mentioned this show.

The first picture that Elizabeth posted reminded me a lot of that show - so I'm doing my own "series!" laugh.gif "Mystery Royai Theater 3000!"

It will be quite fun. smile.gif But I can't really think of anything... But I figured that this would be a fun little "project" for us all to have as a back-up for when we're bored and there aren't any decent holidays to celebrate!

EDIT: @ Tombow - I've just finished saving all of the pictures and translations of Red Marker! I will now *attempt* to scanlate them... I wish I had some nifty program like Photoshop... well, I guess I have cheapo versions of the nifty programs, but I think I'll just use plain old paintshop until I can figure something else out... point is, I'll try my best! If it's alright with you, though, I may do some "editing" to the translations, so that it makes a little more sense in English... I'm not going to chop it up or anything, just give it a little polish. smile.gif
Edamame
The New FMA: Welcome back! I am so glad to hear that you had a great time in London! Be sure to catch up on some much needed rest. Mystery Royai Theatre sounds really intriguing. (It makes me think of Roy dressed in 1940s clothing and doing dramatic soliliqiues in an old black and white movie.)

Chiyo and Tian Ai: I saved both of your fics to my hard-drive so I can read them tonight. I am sure both of them are great!

I should seriously attempt to write a fic after University stops kicking me in the ass. I have hundreds of ideas floating around in my head, but I'm one of those horrible people who doesn't put them into writing.
The New Fullmetal Alchemist
@ Edamame - I'll certainly try! laugh.gif I've been up since 5:30... it's now noon... blink.gif Why am I so wired? Oh, well!!

Ok, guys, here we go - I've got some scanlated Royai goodness for you all, thanks to Tombow's wonderful work translating! I did it in a plain old paint program, and it actually looks pretty good... but something tells me it won't look so hot once it's been uploaded... let me know what you think... if I have to, I can try and make it bigger...

Click to view attachment - that's just the cover page, nothing was changed... I just want to keep it all together. smile.gif


Click to view attachment ok, here we go...

Let me know how it looks, ok? Thanks! smile.gif

It looks great! I don't know, the font doesn't look great, but that maight just be me.
Starrieidgirl
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa [goes running out of the room]

How did we surpass 700 pages????? Last time I posted we were 22 pages away. I'm sooooo confused?

@ CNE I miss you too! We need to gab about theatre and cosplay, PM me when you have a mo'.

@ Keoni Just as you requested Rendezvous

I'll be back tomorrow! I have to get ready for work and babysitting. tongue.gif

Have a great day!
Starrie
riza'slittlesister
My guess is someone changed their sig to be longer and the space it took up increased the page count... Does that make any sense? I was sooo confused for a while there. anyways:

HAPPY 704 pages, everyone!

I love all of the art put up over the last few days and the scanlations look great! I was going to try to do the scanlations, but my show opens on Friday, so I leave the house at 0700 and don't ever get home before 2000. Then I have to do homework!
Tombow
@Keoni - You're writing Gold fish one?? XDDD Can't wait to read it!!! laugh.gif

@Tian Ai - Those Royai drawings are awesome!! Those are actually full of stories and emotions!!
I love them very much!!

@Starrieidgirl - Your Rendezvous is my favorite Royai "fluffy" story!! biggrin.gif
And, I let you know about the page later. ^^

@The New Fullmetal Alchemist - I used to wacth Mystery 3000 theater!! That's great!! XDD
And, thanks for doing the scanlations!! Since the English version of Red marker is already altered version, please feel free to change it up anyway you feel fit. biggrin.gif
About the scanlated pages... as Triss Hawkeye said, somehow that fonts came out hard to read. Would you like to try Comic Sans MS font??

@Chiyo - I know that one!! And, I liked it!! biggrin.gif
You are not only a good cosplayer, wallpaper maker, and photographer, but talented writer, too!!

@Edamame - I think you'll be an awesome writer!! happy.gif
BTW, love your new avatar!! Lovely job by Keoni!! ^^

@riza'slittlesister - You are working hard!! Hope your show will be a great success!! happy.gif
Tian Ai
TNFMA - Thank you for reviewing! I'll go read that biggrin.gif

Edamame - I hope you like the fic smile.gif Thanks for saving it!

Tombow - Thank you so much for the pages!! I think they look great biggrin.gif The text fits well smile.gif And I'm glad you liked the art >//<

Hahaha happy 705 pages.. ? blink.gif

Maybe my friend was right when she said I'd had too much sugar for the day..

EDIT: I mistook TNFMA for Tombow blink.gif So sorry!! I musta REALLY had too much sugar..
The New Fullmetal Alchemist
Comic Sans, eh? Ok, I can do that. smile.gif I'm assuming you mean to replace the font that I had originally used for the dialogue? Let me do up the second page really quickly, and I'll post it...

@ Riza's Little Sister - a show? I'm obviously very much out of the loop, but I'd love to hear about it! Best of luck to you! (Break a leg? blink.gif I forget what the "appropriate" phrasing is! laugh.gif)
Starrieidgirl
Yay 705 pages!!!!!

@ RLS Hmmmmm....it is a possibility that we garnered more pages via larger sigs, but I'm sure a Mod will be around to correct that. My theory is that the number of replies per page has been reduced, or someone is throwing a wrench into the forum system. I'm sure answers will come our way.

Plus, I want to hear more about the show you are working on! My degree is in theatre and I'm on hiatus while I work fulltime, so talking shop is on my mind. PM when you get a chance.

@ Tombow Thank you! I just hope you love Cupid's Mark: Hit or Miss, it's leaning towards comedy and has very lil Royai, at this time. What I will tell you is that I'm incredibly cruel to Fuery, I love him to bits and pieces, but in this story... let's just say I'm an evil, evil, evil woman.

@ TNFM Yay for updated scanlations of Red Marker! You are way awesome! I bow down in your awesomeness!

Catch you all later!

EDIT: I discovered the reason as to why we jumped so many pages....The thread was merged from an older Hawkeye thread. I cracked up when someone posted how they couldn't get BitTorrent! It all makes sense...but does it make our attempts to get to page 600 all in vain? I hope not. I was just getting excited about counting down to 700 and that all passed. Oh well...at least the mystery is solved! I'm so P.I.
esrz22
Look what I finally updated...

Need to get caught up on the Royai fics.
The New Fullmetal Alchemist
@ Starrie - thanks for clearing that up! laugh.gif It was so weird coming back and "jumping" to the page that I knew I had last read and reading about our plans for Christmas. blink.gif

Hm, don't think I ever updated the second page of Red Marker (complete with new font!) last night - I think I was waiting for someone else to post so I didn't have to keep editing the same old post! laugh.gif Ok, here it is... There's just this one line of text - an author note - that I don't have a translation for... so if anyone's willing to translate it, I'll put it in the page. Thanks. smile.gif

@The New Fullmetal Alchemist - That's the story inconsistencies I mentioned in my disclaimer note. That line was left out with reasons!! (to amend the author's inconsistency!!) >.<

For some weired reason, the author promoted Riza for two ranks to Lieutenant Colonel, and that author note is saying that that's the setting for Riza in the Red maker story the author is making there, yet on the next page Riza is right back to Lieutenant with no explanations, and Riza remains Lieutenant for the rest of the story. Hence I eliminated mentioning that author note altogether to avoid unnecessary inconsistency from the main story. You can add that in if you want, (and, accordingly, change any reference to Riza's rank to Lieutenant Colonel on that page,) but then Riza's rank will be right back to Lieutenant, and you will get stuck with the inconsistency. tongue.gif

BTW, that page came out nice!! Thanks for doing the "bubbling"!! happy.gif

@Starrieidgirl - Yes I know about the thread, because I'm the one working on the threads and did the merge.^^ I'm in the middle of sorting out threads, merging similar threads, or eliminating/closing duplicate threads and such, and I do not want the part 1 of this thread to get lost in the shuffle, or get deleted by accident, since that one had been already closed, and so it's like one step away from getting deleted. Hence, I attached part 1 to this one, if temporarily, possibly, for the safe keeping. I have all the necessary original info for the two separate threads, and if needed I can separate them again when all the sorting is done, and if that is deemed appropriate, or desirable. I'm still in the middle of sorting out, so I'm not sure which is better as my opinion, but all I know is that the reason the first one was closed is because the person who closed it thought the thread was getting too long, (at 26 pages!!) so he closed the part 1 and opened the part 2, which is this one, and yet this one grew to be more than 670 pages!! So, the original reason of closing the part 1 at 26 pages does not hold water any longer. In that sense I think we can keep them together, or if everyone desire them to be separate, I can separate them again later when the sorting of threads in the forums are done. Anyway, it's still ongoing thing, and it might take some more time. Meantime, sorry for the inconveniences this might cause/have caused to all our friends on the Royai thread!!
(BTW, if both threads are to be kept together, maybe we can celebrate page 750 sooner, and that's the three quarters of the way to 1000 page mark!! happy.gif)

@esrz22 - Gahaha, I'm enjoying the update!! The Royai moment is interrupted by the monster!!
Can't wait to see the next one! biggrin.gif

the author says that she promoted hawkeye's rank to captain smile.gif
riza'slittlesister
Starrie: Thanks for explaining that! It was disconcerting.

TNFMA: Thanks for the scanlation, it's sooo much nicer the read the translation and see the scan at the same time! Thanks for telling me to break a leg, that IS the right phrase! smile.gif

Thanks for the support, everyone! We're opening Guys and Dolls on Friday. I am in the show and am also props mistress. (For all of the non-theater-folk here, that's the person in charge of finding and organizing all of the props for the show. It's usually not a cast member, but our crew is shorthanded.)
Tian Ai
TNFMA - Personally I think both texts are easy to read XD Thank you so much for scanlating! happy.gif

And the page mystery is solved.. we missed the countdown by just a few pages sad.gif Oh well.. we can count down till 725, right? biggrin.gif

ESR277: The lego Royai comics is such an innovative idea. Very cute!

The New Fullmetal Alchemist: Once again thank you so much for the scanlations of Red Marker.

Umm.. fourth'd!! Break all three legs!! rolleyes.gif Good luck!! Woah, my school last year had Guys and Dolls as the play ph34r.gif
The New Fullmetal Alchemist
Guys and Dolls, eh? Hmm... I've never heard of it... But I'm sure it'll be fantastic anyway! Now go out there, riza'slittlesister and break both legs! And both arms too, while you're at it! laugh.gif You'll be great. smile.gif

Glad you guys like the scanlations, then! laugh.gif But while everyone is thanking me, then I will continue to thank Tombow for translating in the first place. smile.gif And wasn't it you, Tian Ai, who more or less brought it to our attention? (I could be wrong, though - sorry if it was actually someone else!)

But as for that inconsistency that you were talking about, Tombow, I think that since she was promoted to Lt. Colonel, in the following pages she just simply shortened it by dropping the Col. part - I guess she figured that with the note there that it was implied... *shrugs* I'm not going to worry about it, though...

I'm going to go and do up the next page, then. My goal is to do at least one a day (every day that I'm on the site, at least) - I'll post it whenever "my turn" comes up for a new post. smile.gif
Tian Ai
TNFMA - Thank you for your work!! smile.gif Looking forward to the scanlations happy.gif Yeah, I wasn't sure if any of you had already read Red Marker because it was such a huge board, but I posted it anyway ph34r.gif

riza'slittlesister
Thanks for the support! I fully intend to break both legs and at least one arm. smile.gif

I might be gone for a while, but just know that I want to be here talking with you all. Royai forever!

I'm looking forward to the scanlations when I get back!

Sorry, I know this is a little OT.
The New Fullmetal Alchemist
@ Riza'slittlesister - hey, we're all about OT posts almost as much as we are about Royai posts! laugh.gif

Scanlation in a bit - I got side-tracked! Sorry...

It's ok. I KNOW I'm fat. I have to lose (more than) a couple of pounds. I'm actually doing some research on diets while I'm online tonight.

FWIW, I'm wearing the GIGANTIC PADDED BRA OF DOOM in both of my photoshoots. Because I'm not NEARLY as stacked as Hawkeye. I have to fake it a little. (Well, maybe MORE than a little!) wink.gif

OMFG-- my friend's boyfriend is OBSESSED with that show! He actually burned my copies of it to watch, because he thought it was a slight against God that I'd never seen it.
I am totally up for making RoiAi-themed screencap crack. If anything strikes me, I'll be sure to post it.

Which reminds me... since we're on the subject of crack, I really need to finish that fanart crack I drew awhile ago... laugh.gif

@ Keoni Just as you requested Rendezvous


That was a very well-written fluffy-fic. Fluff can be good. This is proof of that.
Everything remained IC. Props to you for that!

Thanks for the support, everyone! We're opening Guys and Dolls on Friday.


What a good show! I LOVE Guys and Dolls!! I have been meaning to design a drag routine to "Luck be a Lady", but I never seem to get around to it! XD
Yes, there are a number of theatre geeks on this thread. (Starrie and I are two of them...) I actually had this crazy idea of going back to school and finishing out my theatre degree. Running masquerades at anime cons has reminded me just how much I enjoyed theatre in college, and that I actually had talent in that subject matter... Hmmm... rolleyes.gif

And, with that, I have absolutely NOTHING else constructive to add to this thread. laugh.gif
Besides, of course, that the scantalations of Red Marker are freakin AWESOME.
Keep up the good work, NFMA!

I'm gonna go fnish cutting out patterns now...
Yay. Sewing. Woohoo!

I like my new sig. pic... LULZ!
And I'm speaking in sentence fragments.
I really should go to bed... wacko.gif

That's an awesome sigpic.

@ TNFMA Guys and Dolls is a widely beloved musical typically done in HS or in revivals at Broadway or the West End. I believe just last year in London there was a revival of the musical starring Patrick Swayze, I could be wrong though.

@ rls Prop mistress! I know that role inside and out! Did it just a few months ago and I'm damn good at it! I was actually in charge of props my senior year of HS, for only a term, dance team took precidence (sp). Question/Challenge: Do you know where the phrase "Break a leg" comes from????

@ esrz22 OMG!!!!! More FPA! I feel a joke is hidden somewhere in the panels, perhaps about Roy's fire being "useless."

@ Tombow Thank you for your thorough explaination about the merging of threads. Some of us were very confused, so I had to do some investigating. Plus, I agree that it was silly to close a thread that only had 26 pages! Penny for Your Thoughts would need to be closed at least fifty times over!

@ zinn Welcome to our zany family! Please get comfortable and partake in the love only known as Royai. Surely other members of this thread will stop by and welcome you. Many regard us as the "friendliest" thread on fm-a.com. If you have questions, fan fict, fan art, or theories, bring them on! We love it all! So welcome aboard and don't be shy!

Yeah everybody! We are counting down to pg 750, and as Tombow-dono put it, three-quarters to 1000pgs! That will be a celebration in itself!

And, we are now....

13 days from chpt 69!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay! So let's get crackin'!
esrz22
@Starrieidgirl Hehe, you caught me. I wondered it somebody would see that. To be fair, Riza's gun's rather useless too, but that's what you get when you're fighting a giant robot. :/

Scantilations, woot.
Starrieidgirl
@ esrz22 By the looks of it...Roy's flames fell short compared to Riza's rounds. That's what I noticed. But do I get a prize for uncovering the Easter Egg gag? (Perhaps a Lego version of me appearing in the story? Hmmmmmmm?) Let me know. When do you expect to have a new story up?


The New Fullmetal Alchemist
Hooray for scanlations! XD

Click to view attachment

One of the hardest pages to do out of all of them - lots of text, not a whole lot of room! laugh.gif Hope it turned out ok. smile.gif

And BTW, Elizabeth, your avvy? Freaking AMAZING!!!!!!! (... You have a padded bra of doom? Really? I have a wiry bra of doom! XD It turns me into swiss cheese!)
Tombow
@esrz22 - Can't Roy's flame hot enough to disable the monster?? laugh.gif

I feel so bad for not posting here. I hope you guys will forgive me *kneels* It's great to see that everyone's doing great. WELCOME to the thread new members! I don't know who you are yet, but I wanna say a BIG WELCOME to all of you ><

Hmm.. I need a little help here. Can someone post me thedownload links to FMA chapters 66 to the most recent? I wanna keep up with the Royai goodness and of course the story too. I would want to download it now but I'm using my guardian's computer so it's kind of not nice, you see.. sad.gif

I've just joined my campus's anime club and they offered me to be part of their quarterly magazine committee, under the illustrators' team. I was so delighted but I'm afraid that I may not be able to keep up with club activites. Nevertheless, I am more than happy to help out. If I have drawn something, I won't forget to let you guys take a look at it. After all, you guys are the ones who pumped my drawing skills with wonderful comments, praises and encouragements!!

I feel like doodling something Royai now, hopefully I can get it scanned and shown to you all tomorrow morning >_6

Yeah, I can stick you in as a cameo. Update may come today, I'm doing some Photoshoppery. The thing about the fire: I didn't want to dig out more fire or do some Photoshopping, so he just gets some leaning against a leg. tongue.gif

Scantilations, woot!

MelRizA! Woot!

Heya, MelRiza! Long time no see-- we've missed ya...

FWIW, www.zomgfta.com has an archive of all FMA scantalations from chapter 43 - 68. If you click on "projects" you should be able to bring up the archive.

Can't wait to see new drawings!
MelRiza art is always welcome! wink.gif
Tombow
@esrz22 - I saw the Royai vs the Mechamonster!! You did nice work!! laugh.gif

@MeLRizA - It's always so nice to see you!!! You can READ scanlated Chapter 66 and Chapter 67 on our on-line manga viewer anytime!! Just click on manga on the left side of this page!!
Then as CodenameElizabeth posted, DL chapter 68 scanlation from ZOMGFT!!

@Starrieidgirl - Thanks for the understanding!! And, hope we will get to celebrate page 750 soon!! happy.gif

@CodenameElizabeth - No, no what I meant is you got nice assets!! biggrin.gif
I think you are not fat, not skinny, but just right as Riza!! happy.gif

@riza'slittlesister - Guys and Dolls is a fun musical!! I hope someone can take lots of picture of you, and you can share them with us later!! Yes, break a leg!! happy.gif

@zinn - Welcome to the Royai thread!! biggrin.gif
(Sorry you came in at the wrong timing!!)
We are actually the most friendly thread on the board!! laugh.gif
Hope you can enjoy the Royai goodness with us!! happy.gif

The online Manga Viewer has been updated??!? Sweet! Thanks for posting that!
They used to only have up to, like, chapter 60 or something.

I haven't checked it in a LONG time. I've just been d/l-ing stuff from ZOMGFTA. That is good to know. It's a lot faster than downloading... wink.gif

Haha-- "assets." laugh.gif
Sorry-- I've been on this diet kick lately because I need to fit into a formal dress by April. I get all self-conscious when I have to dress up... you should have seen me before my high-school prom! O.o
Edamame
Zinn: Welcome to the crack-tacular goodness of the Royai thread. Everybody is really kind here and always willing to help. I hope that you enjoy your stay here! happy.gif

PS- Odd question...Does anybody know of a good site where I can read the FMA manga in Spanish?
Tian Ai
Melriza - Woww, magazine artist!! Good luck with your works, and I hope we'll be able to see more art from you! biggrin.gif

CodenameElizabeth - LOL I love your new avatar!! tongue.gif And thanks for telling about zomgfta.com, I'm going to go check that out happy.gif

Tombow-san, I finally recieved a reply from the artist! She says she doesn't mind at all if I upload it separately, so here it is: [spoiler]Mature contentForbidden Royai Artistic but Mature content.[/spoiler]
[Artistic, but Mature Content. Please view at own discretion.]

Forgive me for butting in, but I think you're being a little unfair to TNFMA, I'm sure she wasn't implying any doubt to your ability, she's such a kind person. I mean, I would be annoyed if someone assumed I had made mistakes like that, but isn't it unfair for you to assume that's what she meant by her guesses? sad.gif

@The New Fullmetal Alchemist - Thank you for stop making scanlation of my English version of Red marker.


@ Tombow - Um... is this a typo... or am I in trouble? unsure.gif If I did anything wrong, I'm so, so sorry! Just tell me what to fix and it shall be done!!!!!!!!!! sad.gif *eep!*


OMFG!!! OMFG!!!! I've actually been quoted in CodenameElizabeth's signature!!!! laugh.gif I can die happy now! smile.gif Seriously, I can - it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside that I'm "important" like that! laugh.gif Or, rather, that what I say is important. I really am becoming a bit of a trend-setter on this site, aren't I? laugh.gif

Sigh... I'm not going to be finishing my "late V-day" story any time soon... but it's entirely feasible for me to fit it snuggly in with White Day, so I'll just do the story over a months' time, how's that? smile.gif

@ Tian Ai - I'm not quite sure what's going on with that either, but thanks for that little compliment there! You're making me blush! happy.gif
Tombow
@Tian Ai - Thanks for getting the permission from the artist!! ^^ (I think it is beautiful, but because of the mature content, I put the Spoiler, just in case. [spoiler]Sorry, Reika!![/spoiler] tongue.gif )
And, I'm glad you brought up about my post to The New Fullmetal Alchemist, because I'd like to clear up some stuff also.

I want you guys and ladies to know that I do like The New Fullmetal Alchemist very much!!
I think she is kind and caring, and smart, and very energetic, and a wonderful poster all around!!
And, no, she's not in trouble or anything!! ^^

But, we seem to have some different views, and I'm getting lazy of proving to a scanlater that I can read Japanese. Hence...

@The New Fullmetal Alchemist - I still love ya, and enjoy posting with you, and appreciate all the help and stuff you do for our thread and our board!! But... as my scanlater... You are fired!! Sorry!! tongue.gif

I'll get the scanlations done and put the pages up in a while. smile.gif
Keoni
Oh my.. I leave you guys alone for a while and we're already doubting Tombow-san can read Japanese? Not only that, but someone actually managed to irk the guru of mild-manneredness? What has the world come to? tongue.gif (Just kidding, please don't kill me *hides*)
Anyway, would you like me to finish the scanlations instead? You're busy enough as it is and I really don't mind doing it happy.gif

@TNFMA Wow, thanks for your hard work! Scanlating can be a real pain. (with the bubbles and such) I'm sure you're not in trouble, it's Tombow remember? wink.gif

@ CodenameElizabeth: You're so NOT fat. I'd kill for your body. I'm like, skinny nothingness sad.gif I could never do a Riza cosplay (unless I wanted to do starving-Riza lol)

@ Mel-chan: Wow! That's awesome news, I'm really happy for you. And I'm really glad we were able to boost you confidense biggrin.gif See? I told you so!

@Tian Ai Hey, I know that drawing! Reika made it for Royai Day last year. It's really pretty and it has so much deeper meaning to it. happy.gif


Alrighty, time to lighten the mood with the second theme: Goldfish laugh.gif

Second theme: Goldfish
I hope you guys like it happy.gif

@ Tombow - blink.gif I'm sorry - and I never did doubt your abilities as a translator - it's just you said it was alright if I smudged a few things... besides, some of the translations wouldn't have fit into the bubbles (at least, not with the program I was using...) I wasn't aware that we had "clashing views"... but ok... I guess I'm just really, really confused, is all... Kinda hurt and confused, but a bit relieved - one less thing to have to worry about (maybe I can get more than 5 hours of sleep a night)... Yeah. Sorry, Tombow - guess I wasn't aware that I messed up *that* badly...

@ Tian Ai - I've seen that pic before! I likes it! smile.gif
Tian Ai
TNFMA - Ohh it wasn't a compliment, it was the truth biggrin.gif Right, guys?

Haha, I'm looking forward to your White Day contribution, then! tongue.gif

Tombow - I'm glad you liked her artwork happy.gif And that I didn't do harm by bringing that post up.. Hopefully things are cleared up between you guys biggrin.gif And thank you for editing my post with the spoiler tags tongue.gif

Keoni - Yeah, it was on the V-day Royai album, but people who didn't have DA accounts couldn't see it so I asked for permission to upload it separately smile.gif

wub.gif Your second theme is so cute! <3 I really, really love your style of writing.. can't wait to read Rumors! biggrin.gif
Tombow
@Keoni - I'm totally loving the Golfish one!! biggrin.gif
I'm hooked on reading your Royai 100 theme!! You are so good!! happy.gif

@The New Fullmetal Alchemist - Hey, no problem!! We all have differences in opinions time to time. I think that's normal!! I'm glad you feel kinda relieved. smile.gif
And, thank you so much for all your efforts!! I appreciate that very much!! happy.gif
