Since the Haruhi doujinshi I drew was sold out this morning, I put up a poll recently in regards to me selling my “sold out” doujinshi on DLSite like I had originally intended to. While I was about to sign up this evening, I started to read their terms of service and I came across an interesting paragraph:

While the creation of Parody works are active among Japanese creators, We are still investigating the legal status on Parody works created within outside of Japan. Therefore, at this point, we can not accept any product that features existing licensed characters from Anime, Games or other mediums.

So basically, unless I wanna make original character doujins (which no one on there will care to buy) and post it there, DLSite will not accept my work. I don’t know when they plan to change this rule, or if they plan to change it, but all I know is, my great strive for online doujin sales is pretty much over at this point. I’m sure you guys are gonna say “just do it anyway, no one will care” but it’s less of a load on my back to deal with honestly. Last thing I need is Kyoto Animation sending me threatening emails or something

Ah well for those who didn’t get a copy all I can tell you is better luck next time
