Doujinshi recs?

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by #1

Re: Doujinshi recs?

[(Anonymous)]

My experience with doujinshi is entirely the kind of Hetalia stuff you can find on myreadingmanga, but...

I love Hobby Hobby's style and their doujinshi are the cutest fucking things:

Pokemon Go!

If anyone is still playing Farfetch'd was released worldwide for 48 hours. Good luck catching him!

I already got a couple! Did legendary raids pause during the event? There aren't a lot of arenas around, but we still usually get a legendary raid once or twice a day, but didn't see even one during the last week.

All stuff I want will probably be bought myself because my family doesn't do gifts anymore. I need a new coat so that's #1 on my list. I also want a cute striped sweater from Madewell. Also, all the gluten free chocolate pretzels.

New laptop.

Re: What's on your holiday wishlist?

[malurette]

All the goodies in the BluRay collector pack, plus the DVD for my newest favourite series. A proper fandom for this series. And an iguana plushie.

A paid DW account could be nice, too.

Re: What's on your holiday wishlist?

[fishnchips]

A good quality kitchen knife and a set of proper whetstones.

Boring stuff. Socks, new pillows, Xbox Gold Membership.

If I get a job soon, that will change to some Funko Pops and artbooks I really want.

Re: What's on your holiday wishlist?

[(Anonymous)]

Boring household stuff that I'd like to have but don't have the money for or can't quite bring myself to buy because there are higher priority things I need: new bath towels, shelf/organizational stuff, a lot of interior house paint...

I guess I need a gift card to Lowes, really!

Re: What's on your holiday wishlist?

[morieris]

* The Walmart Switch/Splatoon 2 bundle.
* Nice workout pants. With pockets.
* A job I enjoy in a city I love living in in my field. Hell, not even in my field, something I enjoy someWHERE I enjoy.

If were being honest, I haven't changed from the person I was at 14.

Should creative endeavours ever be bought or sold?

[(Anonymous)]

This is a question directly inspired by a debate/argument that anons are still having in the previous post about pirating ebooks. I'm not interested in continuing wank, however. Some opinions and questions arose from that thread that I find quite fascinating and I'm wondering how many people actually hold this point of view.

Several people seem to be of the opinion that piracy is not an issue because art, media or creative works of any kind should, intrinsically, be free. That their main purpose is to bring joy and entertainment to the world, and that purpose should necessarily override anyone's desire to sell it or keep it exclusive.

So my questions are these:

Do you agree? Should no one be making money from their creative endeavors? If so, why? Are creators entitled for wanting money for their creations? Are consumers entitled for wanting it for free?

What about in a utopia where everyone is elsewise financially stable? Or would it never be ok, and people should always have creative control / the option to sell and exclusivise their creations?

If people DO have a right to control and sell their creations, are there ANY conditions under which it is morally permissable for anyone to acquire them for free without the creator's consent? Should we exempt people from penalty if they can prove they could not have afforded it by other means, or that it has enhanced the quality of their life or mental health?

How far do we take this? What is defined as a creative / artistic work? Should all books be free? Should all music be free? TV? Cable? All visual artwork? Should wedding photographers not be paid? Should cinemas be free?

Should art be a social program? Would you be willing to pay an arts tax which would subsidize creators and give you unlimited access to any media you chose?

How do you feel about distribution of creative works without the creator's consent, regardless of whether the work is for sale? If a fic writer wanted to delete all copies of their fic, said that it represented a dark time in their life and its existence was affecting their mental health, do you think people should heed their wishes and delete whatever copies they had? Or do you think they should no longer have control over what they created?

How about intellectual property? If all media is free, does plagiarism matter? Does anyone actually own what they create?

I'm aware some of these are hotbutton issues but I would like to avoid wank where possible. I'm just interested to see how people react to the idea that artwork is intrinsically above transaction.
