About Starfinder

[banrai.livejournal.com]

I am making this post for a friend, who no longer has access to post to Livejournal. Any input or advice is more than welcomed by her. Thanks!

"Much as I'm loathe to do this, I really have to make a post regarding Starfinder.

In September last year I purchased a print of "Heart of Glass" from Starfinder. It arrived within a month, but to my disappointment, it was of an extremely low quality - very off-colour and blotchy. Starfinder was very obliging about replacing the print and within 24 hours, she had sent me photos of the new print, which looked excellent. And so, the replacement was supposed to be mailed out.

I'm still waiting.

I'd been in touch many times to ask about where it is, and I've been told it hadn't been sent, it was packed up, her mother forgot to mail it, she had lost my address, and more recently (the past few months) I've had no response at all. In May, she apologized and said that she had also made a con badge which she had packed in with the print, but I've not had a response since then. I've tried email and LJ comments to no avail. In the past, I contacted her via AIM but I really don't want to have to go on to complain at her again and get fobbed off again.

I really just want to receive the print, but I'm tired being ignored, and this seems like the only way to go. Sorry, Starfinder, but I stuck up for you over your past problems and this is not a good way to treat your customers at all.

So yeah... why did Korrok get kicked off of LJ?

I noticed SF blames her mother a LOT for her problems. :/
If SF is going to run a respectable business, she needs to do things for HERSELF, and quit relying on Mommy. Really. Southern California has a zillion post offices and postal service centers like Mailbox Etc. Get a ride with a friend and do your mailing YOURSELF, instead of making Mom your slave.

off-topic, sorry. It's just been on my mind since it happened.

Korrok should ask for a photo or scan of that conbadge, I don't trust it when she says that she'll 'make it up' to a customer by doing extra art for them, after the -problem- is waiting for art from her to begin with.

Because of the hacking incident, I believe she was permanently banned from the site and any new account she'd make would be removed.
She and Westly made up and Westly told LJ they were cool again but someone gave Korrok's new journal to the LJ staff and they deleted it anyway.

And in case anyone speculates, I like Westly more than I dislike Korrok.

If I had a dollar every time her name came up on this board...

[wereguitar.livejournal.com]

Heh, that's what one of her many excuses to me was when I bought $50 worth of art from her. She said she gave the originals to her mom "to ship out" to me but she "probably lost them".

[saitenyo.livejournal.com]

You'd think if her mother is that unreliable, she'd just do it herself?

Eeeeee, you have a Windstone icon! (Sorry, I'm obsessed with Windstones.)

[saitenyo.livejournal.com]

Seeing as she goes to highschool (or went? Dunno if she's still there) a good 5 minutes from my house, and there's a post office a good 5 minutes from the school...you'd think she'd manage to find some way to get there herself.

Seriously...I could probably walk to the post office from her high school.

*laughs*

You are to date the only person I've ever known who knows about them, besides myself!

[wereguitar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and this incident was from a few years ago. I pray that she doesnt still rely on her partents to do 'post office runs' for her. x_x

[martes.livejournal.com]

It seems like Starfinder gets more complaints than all the other artists put together, and STILL people will give her money and commission her. Human behavior is so very, very odd....

Not true. I have several. My Emperor Peacock Dragon is the pride of my collection.

[altonwings.livejournal.com]

That, or people will go zombie for teenage girl artist and ignore common sense.

[bigtig.livejournal.com]

I wonder how long it'll be before her friends pounce in here to defend her.

[featherlady-jt.livejournal.com]

I think the mindset might be comparable to those who, for example, choose never to wear a seatbelt, even though the stats show the enormous risk... it will never happen to them. -__-

[martes.livejournal.com]

I didn't want to bring that up myself, but yes, that's probably a BIG part of it. (The old "vague possibility of a gratitude f--- if I throw enough money at her. Or at least a hug.")

[kami-storme.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she does that sort of shit so often that anyone who complains now must feel like a broken record. This is why I never interacted with her or bought anything off her and never plan to.

[kami-storme.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that alone is lame.

[thornwolf.livejournal.com]

she has a car like most southern californians. i hate going to the post office too, and im notoriously bad for shipping things but..jeeze...not that bad.

pssst...windstone_ed

[banrai.livejournal.com]

I would imagine by now with all the posts about her, her friends can't deny that she's lousy at doing what she says she'll do.

[thaily.livejournal.com]

You underestimate the power of willful ignorance.
People can blind themselves to anything if only they want it enough.

[banrai.livejournal.com]

Aye, that is a good point. But still, as I think we both know; evidence for so long always speaks the truth. Hopefully one day SF will just figure out that she's digging herself into a hole and make good with all the people she's taken money from and given poor quality or nothing in return.
