My help_japan thread

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Since I see other members posting links to their threads, I'll jump in and do it too. This is mine: http://community.livejournal.com/help_japan/2978.html?thread=821922#t821922 Princess Tutu is one of several fandoms I'm offering for a fic.

Offering fic for help_japan

[val-tyr.livejournal.com]

Following the lead of other members, I've established myself an entry at help_japan. I'm offering one fic each, 2,000 words minimum, to the two highest bidders. Bidding starts at $10, which is on the steep end, but it's charity.

I will editing this post with a link to an icon set listing after I finish today's errands. Thank you for looking, please consider bidding. Failing that, please consider bidding on other stuff from other people!

Question

[usedtotime.livejournal.com]

Soooo I was paroozing through the dub uploaded onto Youtube and I saw a difference between the dub and the version I downloaded a billion years ago before the dub was completed.  For example, look at the difference in the scene where Autor is showing Fakir Drosselmeyer's family tree:

The dub from Youtube

Japanese version from a billion years ago:

 

Why is it so DRASTICALLY different??  The poor middle child of Drosselmeyer's no longer has a family line.  And Fakir went from Drosselmeyer being his great grandfather to Fakir being 5 generations down.  O_o  Also, it looks like Fakir has a sibling that's been Xed out.  Makes me think Rue is his sister... lol.  (if that's true, there go any plans for me to draw any cute Fakir x Rue pics xD;; )

Does anyone know why there is such a DRASTIC difference?  Is my version ripped directly from Japanese tv and is the DVD version different?  (I've seen this in manga where artists will change pages of manga from the original publishing in phonebooks to the tankobons.)

Some icons

 I made a few new icons since my last icon post, so here they are! There's not as many as last time though. 

Here's a preview, and the rest are at ballerina-222.livejournal.com/

CAN'T... STOP... MAKING CRACK!!

[usedtotime.livejournal.com]

Oh god, the crack just won't stop!!  IT COMPELS ME TO DRAW!!

Anyway, I drew this crack because:  

1.  I was genuinely angry at Tutu and Mytho for not even looking to see if Fakir was ok after the great Dance-off of season One.  He risked his life to save you people and there wasn't even a, "Hey, where's Fakir?  Shouldn't his dead body be here after the lake disappeared?"

2.  I always wondered how Edel saved Fakir in detail at the end of Season One.  So... my imagination filled in the gaps.  And you know how my imagination is.  xD;;;

( CRACK!! )

Episode 1 Screencaps part the first!

VLC wound up taking so many shots that I'm actually doing this in two parts. There were over A THOUSAND of these things before I weeded out the dupes and the uglies, and even now there are 630-something.
