I've gotten alots of questions that are either similiar or the same. So I've decided to write up a FAQ instead since I personally don't have the time on my hands to answer each contact form individually (I need to prepare to get into University >.<) So please read through carefully before contacting me.

Who are you?
Ummm... I'm Ayumi Nemoto ^^;; I don't know why some people asked me this (especially since you've visited the site) but if you want to know more than go to my Webmistress page.

I love your Graphics! Can you pleae teach me how you did them?
Yes and a No. I can tell you what I used to make them but not teach you. This is only because I don't remember how and I don't have the time of kind to individually teach everyone how I do things. I suggest getting yourself a graphic program like Photoshop and start playing around with it. And when I mean playing around I don't mean ten minutes of fooling with the filters. It takes months and years of constant creating inorder to make graphics and be familiar with the program so please have patients. And the key word is be creative!

How do you make your avatars? Can you teach mean?
I use a pixel technique by zooming in over 600% and drawing in everything. Yes, it's a pain but the quality is much better and NO, I will not teach due to time.

I'm starting a website but I don't know anything about html. Help?
Not to sound mean but No. From previous experience, I end up either doing the thing myself or being annoyed to death because the person doesn't understand a single word I said (or just doesn't have the will to do it). So no. If you want to learn than go to html tutorial sites such as Html Goodies and experiment with stuff.

I went to your suggested site but I don't understand anything, can you help me?
No. If you won't put time, will and effort in trying to learn it, than I don't think you should be doing websites. It's a hobby that takes up lots of time, and for me, more than just four years to get to where I am today. So think about it before diving into a hobby that can cost you.

What programs do you use to make your site?
Photoshop 6.0, Jasc Paintshop Pro and Notepad.

I have a site! Please affiliate with me. I need hits REALLY badly!
If it's not a Gundam SEED site than I'm definitely declining. And personally, I don't have a care in the world if your site need hits, that's just selfish to be asking in the first place. My goal for Affiliating is to unite Gundam SEED sites all over the net inorder to create a big community for fans to visit. I don't care about the hits.

Can I link you?
Sure! Feel free to link me ^^ You don't need my permission to do so go right ahead. Banners are located in the Link Us page.

Can you help me find good [insert character's name] scans/images?
No. Plain and simple.

I really like your downloads. Can you get upload the song [insert song title] for me so I can download it?
No and that's MY bandwidth your planning to use.

Send me all your Lacus Pictures to me.
This isn't even a question yet it seems so popular in my inbox -_-||| Answer: No and get a life. Not to be mean but I'm not sending pictures to people who I have no idea what they're going to do with it and the fact that these pictures took me over 2 years to screenshot, scan and find soooooo a big fat NO.

What's the big deal with you and people using your graphics?
I know this isn't a question someone asked but I know lots of people are wondering about it. Well, you may think it's not a big deal but it is to the artist and those who admire it! As an art student, creating artworks is probably one of the hardest things in life. Mainly because you have to be unique, original and creative yet attracting at the same time. Artistes put in countless hours, days and weeks creating things such as wallpapers, layouts, sites, banners, etc. for YOUR pleasure to view or use personally without distribution. Think about all the hard work a person did to cut and fix the image than create a new background for it. When you just take it and post it else where or worse... use it elsewhere without the artist knowing, it's disrespectful, illegal (depends on situation and work) and selfish. This also shows that the person is lazy and refuses to try making it themselves. So it is a "BIG DEAL" to artistes so it's simple: DON'T DO IT! If you can't make it, than don't take it. If you can make it than use your own.

Where do you get your haros?
Okay first off, this question is more of a "where you live" type of question. I can't do much if your all the way in USA and I'm in Canada (see the difference). But if your looking for one from ONLINE buyers than please try Ebay. Although, almost any model stores in your should sell Haros. If you live in Ontario, Canada than please try Kikiwai Locations. Also, please remember that they're are many types of Haro so please don't ask me about what each one does. I have a life too you know. ^^;;

Your [insert section] is missing "this and that". Are you going to add them?
That depends on how many complaints I get. ^^;; ALOT of the pages are a bit outdated and stops at the end of Valley of the Stars (after the Gundam SEED Series and OVA). It's a bit hard for a single person to maintain over 40 pages so please bare with me. Again, if it's REALLY outdated and I get alot of complaints or question about that particular section that I will definitely put it higher in my "to-do list".

I send in a question [insert time here] ago. How come you didn't reply?
Affiliate Questions I usually get to real quick unless I'm still debating about the site (since I'm limited in space I have to make a good decision). If I didn't get back to you it's because: a) it's already answered in the FAQ Section. b) It was a obvious question such as navigational questions. c) It was a comment which I feel doesn't need to be answered. Of course, if I don't get back to you in a month, than you can start panicking and keep sending them in (if the question is THAT important). Please remember that I maintain this site by myself and with university coming up I have many other things I should be doing (even if I don't like it >.<).

Is Ayumi Nemoto your real name?
Yes it is. It is my Japanese name but I mostly use it for online and art purposes.

Are you a girl or a guy working on this site?
WHAT~?! I can't believe you people are asking me this. I'm a G-I-R-L! And proud to be one :P

Are you working on this site by yourself? Can I be part of your staff?
Yes, I have been running this site for over two year now (currently 2006) and I plan to let it stay that way so... No I don't need a staff. I'm capable to run this site by myself thank you very much :) But donations are certainly welcomed :D

Can I add you to my MSN, Yahoo and/or AIM?
First off I don't have Yahoo or AIM so tough luck :P But I have MSN and the answer is a big fat NO. Unless I offer my msn to you first, don't add me. I will block and delete people I don't know so don't even try to add me. I'm telling you I have a life too >.>

Which episode is that quote from in your Moments?
Err... first of all, if you use it your plagerizing me. Those phrases were made by me so please don't use it online or in your work other wise I'll have to get lawsuit-y on you.
