Congrats! I hope other refunds have been moving along!

[latilombax.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad she refunded you :)

[westly-roanoke.livejournal.com]

I still think it's a case of too little, too late.

Ah well, she's hopefully perma-ed.

[witchiebunny.livejournal.com]

she is.

[banrai.livejournal.com]

Ironic, coming so soon after begging donations to pay for vet bills.

[wereguitar.livejournal.com]

Now it all makes sense.

[cesarin.livejournal.com]

well, let's hope she got enought "donations" for "her dog" to pay the rest of those she owes money to.

[thaily.livejournal.com]

's what I thought.
Sickening.

[hellfire99x.livejournal.com]

It's so, so sad. :(

[wereguitar.livejournal.com]

That's AWESOME. Finally you got some closure with her. I hope that she continues to work hard to tie up loose ends.

[westly-roanoke.livejournal.com]

Or...just keeps begging for money for her 'dog'.

[zackfig.livejournal.com]

This is a sure sign that the rapture is happening tomorrow after all.

[tanginello.livejournal.com]

Shit. Wish I hadn't spent the whole day drawing furry porn, then.

LOL glad I wasn't the only one who thought this XD *goes to check for fire and brimstone raining from the heavens*

[nauro-chan.livejournal.com]

I'd say color me shocked, but after she begged for donations for her poor dog. I figured it was all a ruse to get money to pay people back.

But hey glad you got your money back after all.

[wolf-goat.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it, even if it was "injured doggy" money. I mean, she could just have not paid it back at all, so...I mean she exceeded my expectations right there.

Is this suspension permanent, or temporary? I apologize, I seem to have missed some pertinent information somewhere, I wasn't aware she had been suspended until I started reading comments in this thread.

[hamburger.livejournal.com]

According to Witchie up there, it's Perma.

[kairi-koitra.livejournal.com]

Everyone is talking about injured doggie post/journal Is there any screenshots of this? Because I think I missed something.

[hellfire99x.livejournal.com]

On her final due date (May 13th I believe), instead of posting any backlog work or anything, she instead posted a call for donations in her FA journal, claiming her dog had run a mile and bloodied its paws or sommat. It got taken down by the FA mods before she was finally banned.

I don't have any screenshots, but it was discussed on the previous post's comment thread. (Starts at the bottom of page one, continues into page two.)

And it looks like someone did take & post screencaps.

A step in the right direction, but starting on the wrong foot. I'm glad you got your money back and I wish you better luck with commissions in the future.

[jono-m.livejournal.com]

checked her inkbunny account recently and it is now being used to upload some backlogged work, but I never ever want to see her back on FA. she can deal with a smaller customer base and I hope that she doesn't burn everyone there as well http://inkbunny.net/Kannos

[wolfofwind.livejournal.com]

I'm posting on Star's behalf here-

I'm working on my backlog as fast as I can given that I have school full time, finals, etc, and that this is the list of people who have been cleared off thus far, and they are welcome to follow up with them to confirm this:
Cyberwuffy
GizaGiza
Rostrath (1/3)
Remnant Wolfe
SN Jester
Dragon-Eye
Catronos
Dizfoley
LadyFoxMcloud
Soba
Jaslyn
Keyox
Char

And yet she took new comissions on Inkbunny :/

[skyote.livejournal.com]

This is my favorite bit: "I will still work on the backlog, but ultimately art is a luxury where as shelter and food are necessities, so I can not neglect my own needs and not eat/pay rent."

Let's change "art" to "my job at the post office" and consider what the hypothetical boss would say about this unique point of view. "Hey boss, I know I'm supposed to be at work today, but this job is a luxury whereas my rent and groceries are a necessity. So please continue paying me and I'll come in when I feel like it."

[kohaku-chimaera.livejournal.com]

This is so ridiculous...One would think that all the stress of having so many people breathing down your neck would get her to finally clean up her act!

I am convinced that she is mentally ill in some way. No sane person would keep up this act for so long. So glad she's finally gone from FA, no if only InkBunny would get rid of her before she starts up there..

[ashleyvsdestiny.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't she keep it up? It kept WORKING. Heck, up until recently the FA admins were basically ignoring her repeated frauds and enabled her to continue. Why would a scam artist stop doing something that keeps working?

[spiffystuff.livejournal.com]

Glad you finally got your refund!

[mekania.livejournal.com]

I'm really glad people are getting what they paid for/refunds!

One thing I'm confused about is her need to open up for MORE commissions "for food/rent" when in that FA journal she was telling several people that they were on her pay-upon-completion list and the journal was for backlogs only. Even after she was forced to close for commissions she seemed to have a whole list of people she could get money from so the whining for donation thing and now opening up for new commissions just screams of greed to me :| I guess I shouldn't be thinking so much about this.

[marus-puppy.livejournal.com]

Her whole story is full of semitruck-sized holes. Seriously. She should quit doing art for pay and get a real job, that way she has a steady income and quits scamming the hell out of people.

Thinking out loud....

[genkigami.livejournal.com]

I'm glad she's giving out refunds, but I'm a little suspicious. She begins handing out refunds as soon as she takes commissions on Inkbunny "for food/rent" and begging for donations on FA?

.... anyone else getting a "Ponzi scheme" vibe off this (taking new commissions to refund old commissions) or is it just my pessimism talking?

Re: Thinking out loud....

[nauro-chan.livejournal.com]

She told I think it was Cyber at one point that she would get him a refund, even if it meant she had to take ANOTHER commission to do so. So no I wouldn't be shocked if she is taking new commissions to repay the old ones.
