A "What If..." scenario

[serika-san.livejournal.com]

Um, I know I should be posting other things, but this has been nagging at me lately and it sounds like something the community here might have thoughts on, so I thought I'd throw it out on the table!

Recently I had been trying to think of something to base a 'five/six years later' post-series comic on. And I went through a lot of ideas. But in the end, I had to admit to myself that I really wanted to do something odd and cracky and fun. So I ruled out using Kinkan Town at all for the base, because I'm just not so serious about it that I'm going to study the town it was based off of for super-accuracy. I'd rather work with something I'm more familiar with and something that really puts the characters into a new situation. And what I DID ultimately decide on was...

Why not throw the characters in modern day America and watch them try to adapt to things like technology and all the insane changes that would surely make them feel completely out of place!

Thus I wondered what the community thought about this topic. Namely, what can you see the characters doing in a situation like that? What do you think they would like? Dislike? What kind of jobs would they have or try for? What kind of clothes would they wear? What would they think of modern technology? What about society and how it has changed from what they know? Where would they live? How would they adapt? ...You get the idea. XD

And I ask that in general toward any and ALL of the characters you might have ideas about. I thought this would be a really interesting/fun topic to discuss here. :D

Also, if anything inspires me, I miiight request your permission to use the idea in the comic if I can get it rolling. XD The more inspiration, the better. Cause I'm really excited about this project.

T-shirt/messenger bag designs?

[magicdragonomg.livejournal.com]

Hi there again, fellow Tutu fans! I come bearing a community-wide question about what sort of Princess Tutu-themed designs you'd personally want on either a shirt or a bag, as I'm thinking about making and selling my own PT "merchandise". [Though as of now, I'm still debating selling them over the internet or not.]

I'm starting to relearn both screen-printing and printing with the embroidery hoop + mod podge method (though the second option has more of a cheap look, though if the design is good enough...who knows). I'm doing some original designs, but I also would like to make two or three Princess Tutu designs to print on shirts and bags!

Obviously there has to be a design with Fakir. Obviously. I also want to get some ideas for other designs, however, so I'd like to know: what sort of characters/symbols would you like to see on clothes and accessories and, if you could buy a Tutu bag, what kind would you get (ie: tote, messenger, backpack, etc.)?
