Currently on haitus, and not accepting new requests. We apologise for the inconvience The building is huge, much larger than those surrounding it; it stretches up into the sky, possibly higher than could ever be seen. There's a sign, bold and impressive, over the ornate double doors: The Shop of Impossible Things. Inside, the lobby seems larger than anything that could have fit on the ground floor of the building; for some reason, you find this unsurprising. A friendly, cheerful young lady at a desk helpfully points you towards a list of floors, and then goes back to reading her book, 'The Idiot's Guide to Minioning; Your Evil Master and You'. This does strike you as rather odd, although, you suppose, the name tag reading HenchWench Number 13 possibly should have tipped you off. You can see from the floor directory that there are no department names - instead, each floor has the name of a person, and then a 'speciality'. This looks like an interesting place. The lift is shiny and new, and thankfully does not have any terrible, mind numbing music playing. The buttons are marked with floor numbers; there another directory in here, posted to the wall, to help your memory. So, which floor are we going to today? Welcome To the Shop of Impossible things. Apologies for the rather pretentious opening. Just setting the scene. Now, an explanation: what we have here at the shop are the elite; the supreme; the very shiny. People have to pass a standard to work here. As such, we expect perfect behaviour from both staff and customers, and are unusually strict over rules. Rules? Ah, yes, those dreaded things; well, we all need to be goverened by something, don't we? The shop has a basic, catch all set of rules that should be obeyed by everyone, but some workers may also have their own rules for if you are requesting from them; these will be in their worker's area, so be sure not to miss them. Rule#1: Manners. Be polite, understanding of any delays, don't rush workers, don't insult workers of other customers, and generally treat everyone with respect. The extension to this is language - let's keep swearing to a minimum. And while we're being polite to others, let's be polite to the world; I don't want any racism, sexism, or any other isms for that matter. Rule#2: Always use request forms provided by the worker. If you don't, you will not be informed; you will simply be ignored. Any request not using the proper forms will ever be taken. Rule#4: Give credit. Always. I cannot stress this enough; people take their time and effort over these requests, which they do not have to do, and if all they ask in return is a single line of credit, then you had better give it to them. Rule#5: This may seem a little harsh; deal with it. Anyone using chat speak in this shop will be ignored, or turned down for a request. I define chat speak as lazy, cutting of corners when typing - it's no harder to type the word 'you' than it is to type the letter 'u'. We're not expecting golden standards of spelling and grammar, but 'I' standing alone is a capital letter, 'k' is not a subsitute for 'okay', and 'plz' is just a random scattering of letters for all I care. I know, I'm a massive elitist snob, but it's not like we're using phone keyboards, here. Typing is even quicker and easier than writing manually, and Goddess knows people have been doing that long hand since they invented civilisation. I am English, and I say, stop butchering my language. Rule#6: If in doubt, don't. I'm serious. Just don't do it. And watch out for 3. He's a tricksy one. (Running jokes require running with) There, now, those rules shouldn't be too hard to follow, should they? All that is left for me to do now is open the doors requests; worker areas will be in the next few posts, so go ahead and look around, find what you want, and request away. Announcements: Welcome to our new graphics artist, Pandoras Box We also have a shiny new userbar, thanks to Pandora. Yay, us! Advertising: If you want to show support or the shop, we have a cute little userbar, now: CODE [url=http://forums.gtsplus.net/index.php?showtopic=42752][img]http://i53.tinypic.com/2zgao1x.png[/img][/url] This post has been edited by GirlCalledBob: Jan 21 2011, 09:10 AM -------------------- Random awesome stuff that is awesome/Credit (click to show ) |

The running jokes thing is in the rules, look; *points to rule 6.* We run with running jokes. The hiker is there because I was silly when I made the sheet, and am too lazy to get rid of him. *shrug* I'll get to both of these requests tomorrow, it's late now. -------------------- Random awesome stuff that is awesome/Credit (click to show ) |

Oh yeah, I forgot to say her left eye is green, her right is purple.
And if you want a bigger ref, I drew one a while ago. It's not very good, but:~ Don't do the things on her arms please. This post has been edited by Absoleevee: Aug 24 2010, 12:23 PM -------------------- |

It's easier for me if you edit info like that into your original post, to ensure I don't forget it. And, the larger ref picture will be good for getting her hair right, so...
