Sooner or later, you'll realize what's with Raikage (A) that fans chose him as their icon. But tonight, just get a house music and dance to it while thinking about the deep philosophy behind his character.

Greetings Pixxxers! This article is to address the questions raised by some members and commentors as of the recent happenings and this is not made to object, piss or put demise on any of you. Consider this as "my own answer" to the inquiries and also as a report about your favorite characters. Warning: this is lengthy, but please make it sure you read this. May the chakra be with you.

First topic first: Hinata.

Older Hinata requests are in the list which were made long before I entered as blog-artist. I think some of the old Hinata requests are just resurfacing as of the recent updates in the members' message board. The lists in my possession have requests which are also in the waiting room (called "The Negative Zone") even before my start. Here are the members who have Hinata reqs recorded in my "The Scrolls of Lingering". They appear here in semi-in-order-of- appearance on the members' board. "Semi" because some are just re-emerging, I guess. I will not show how many Hinata reqs they put on the board. To make it clear, grants for them are not given yet. Their foci/focuses might not be Hinata alone, but they wish to make her cameo in the scenes. So here:

For a moment, let's leave the topic.

Second topic: Some of my "guidelines" or "criteria" in choosing a request to be granted. I don't know if these are strictly followed by all artists, but I think, as much as possible we should stick to these guides or these should come to our minds every time we take requests. However each, if violated, has an odd against the other criterion which I will explain later. They are not official but it wouldn't hurt to consider them.

1. A character should not be done twice in a week (by the same artist) and not more than four times in a month. This is to avoid bias for a certain character. This is even if he/she is paired with a non-famous one.

----------Note: I was told about this during the time I draw consecutive requests for Hinata in one month. Peace!

2. No member should get consecutive grants, in a week, in a month or within consecutive months.

----------Note: 1) Now, I am also trying to avoid drawing for any member in consecutive months. I don't remember any colleague spoke of this rule, but due to our fault I call " The West Incident" I created this rule for myself. Some members noted of that incident. I am also checking how many grants a member had in the past year 2013.

3. Consider the popularity of the character or characters to appear in a post. That means, if there is a request for an unpopular but interesting or newly introduced character, a grant might be considered to add variety in the blog.

------------Note: This is because of the flooding Hinata, Raikage (A) and Naruto requests. We must not let monotonous atmosphere to overcome the blog.

4) Check for old requests resurfacing in the updates within the members' board. Prioritazion of old requests must be applied.

------------Note: Please remind us when your old requests first appeared. I have this old document for Narutopixxx but I did not consider them since I was in OPpixxx at that time and I thought that those were already done before I returned in this blog. Only when the complains arrived that I reviewed that document.

Now, to tell you the truth, these rules have odds against each other. During my first few months I am not applying rule #1 and it was the only rule notified to me. Since then, I am trying to keep that rule followed except on special cases. That was why I created the other 3 rules. Rule #1 makes most Hinata reqs to be posted later than other reqs.

Rule #1 is always pitching against rule #2. There are less members who are asking for other non-famous characters. Based on the largest number of votes I had seen so far I estimeated around 115 members, and there are 80+ reqs for Hinata, that means we are bound to choose only among 30+ non Hinatas if we reached the limit for Hinata reqs in a month, and some of those are also famous characters which cameos should also be regulated.

If you will obey #1 always, the violation of rule #2 is most likely inevitable. Some members will have grants more often because they are not asking for Hinata, or their requests don't contain extremely popular characters at all. These members are always in the blog, making different requests, making sure they get at least one among their many wants is being cooked and served. Only those who ocassionally wish for other unpopular naruto characters are these people's competitors. You cannot avoid these guys if you will always follow rule #1. Members who do not like famous ones will also start complaining if we will disobey the first rule. Desire for variety favors them.

I know it is injustice to ignore the old requests and it is also unfair to grant more requests to some particular members only; we are not focusing on these people, just to make it clear. Violation of any rule will likely result into a) flood of character x or b) inequality among members.

So to avoid these consequences, I encourage members to please make requests with character variation. For example member X would like to see a Hinata drawing, other than that while waiting for it he/she may also put another non-Hinata request(s). This is a only suggestion, though.

As of now, if rule #1 would be followed, we could limit our works about any character up to 5 as maximum. 2 or 3 from each of us. And honestly to do that, you have to jump from old requests to new requests, to avoid repetition.

Final thought this time: These rules are NOT OFFICIAL, they are just MY GUIDELINES AT THE MOMENT. You may wish to amend, change a rule or propose any other rule(s) to help create a better system in granting requests.
