I sent in an email a couple days ago about possibly not being able to get my table on friday. Since I've been reading that we need to make arrangements, am I supposed to get a reply? Or am I fine as long as I sent an email?

I want to make sure I don't get my table taken away, haha! Especially since I'm sharing with a friend. ;3

will you please send us another e-mail with your name?
i may have misplaced this e-mail but we also want to make shure you dont loose your table either.
thanks so much ^^

Hi. I just sent you guys an email because I am being told I am part of a group by the staff but then the group says they don't think I am. And I had bought a table for me and my sister to sit at together so I don't want to be sharing and have a half table. SO I very confused!

Hi All Artists
We are working very hard to get everyone's table numbers up on the AA Reg Site. But know we are not going to publish the Actual Seating Map because we do not want anyone walking into the alley and trying to skip reg. So everyone MUST come see us at the reg table BEFORE they go sit at there table

We are working as fast as we can to get all the table numbers posted online but know everyone's tables have already been assigned. If you have questions please feel free to e-mail us at artistsalley at fanime dot com

Thanks

I Have your e-mail and will deal with this

It was an ongoing contact email.  I was using the contact-us (at) greenteagraffiti (dot) com email.

I will resend it..

Subject is : Re: Need to add two people to my table

Originally sent Thurs after receiving only one table number.

The rest of the artists will be seated in order by when they registered thus the sooner you did the closer to the front you will be seated. As for notification (unless you are part of a group) we will update your Reg account with your table number so all you have to do is go online to see where you are sitting. Or you can show up and be surprised either is just peachy with me ^^ we will be reminding everyone of where they are seated at con as well

I hope this helps

Since the first hundred were sent emails on where to choose seating, I do have a couple of questions for the people who missed the cut-off:

1) How is seating going to be determined/assigned? By order of sign up? et?
2) Are we going to get e-mails on where we're sitting at least a couple of weeks before the convention? Or are we at this point, are we just expected to show up and be surprised where we are sitting?

[Hi All Artists]

Hi All Artists
We were just cleared by the fire marshal to add more tables to our Art Alley!!!!!

So everyone on the waitlist,
We will be sending out e-mails this week letting you know to go pay for your tables and sign your contracts. We will be releasing them in blocks so it's not going to be a free for all. It will be in the order you signed up on our reg site.

For paid artists
We will be starting the seating arrangements. If you were one of the lucky first 100 you will be getting an e-mail from me asking where you want to sit. If not your account on the reg site will automatically be updated with a table number and you will receive an e-mail.

We are doing our best to seat people where they request and with who they request but please know that picking your seat and or requests is a privilege and not a right.

We have also had a lot of requests for power at the tables. This year there are NO tables with power at them. We will have a communal power strip at the staff table and you are welcome to come and plug in (please note that AA staff and Fanime are not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items left at the staff table and also reserve the right to allow you to plug in if your item may damage another or is to large)

Thank you all again for being so patient with is as we work thought this new reg process. If you have further questions please e-mail us at Artistsalley at fanime dot com

Thanks

Fanime Artist Alley 2010

oops wrong thread
dont mind silly me ^^

[The group reg is to just let me know who is sitting in what groups.]

Ok Clarification

The group reg is to just let me know who is sitting in what groups.
It is not to sign up for tables or to pay for tables. Reg is going to be by a first come first serve basis and we will announce when reg will be open (it will be an online form like the fanime membership is) So all the members of your group must sign up and pay for tables. And we will make shure your all sitting together. The reason for this is because the online aa reg will only let you sign up for 2 tables max.
*  The note for group members needs to go in the notes section on the reg form not to be e-mailed to AA

if your group dose not need MORE than 2 tables then please do not e-mail me. Just pick one person ( the group leader ) to sign up for your tables.

Sorry for all the confusion

yes 10 tables is the max a group can claim

Regardless of how big a group is, they can't get more than ten tables max right? Not that I mind people wanting to sit next to their friends and all, but there has to be a limit to how many tables can be taken by said "group".

a group of artists is only allowed to reserve up to 10 tables max. And it is 2 tables max per person. So you cant have a group of 3 artits and get 10 tables.

[Hi Everyone]

Hi Everyone
hear is smore more info from your friendly AA Head


* Tables will be $50 this year. And we are going to have a Pay pall option as well as a Check or Money Order Option. If you mail a check in it will not affect your ability to get a table. We will send you conformation e-mail when we get your check, and if we don't get it then we will contact you.



* We have had a MAJIOR change in our registration process. If you wish to register as a group of tables I need you to E-mail me at [email protected] as soon as you can. We no longer have a group registration option! So what you need to do. I need ONE e-mail from your group leader telling me all the names and e-mails of the people in your group and how many tables your group needs total. Hear is an example:

Group leader:    John Smith – [email protected] -- 2 tables
Other members:    Betty Nin – [email protected] -- 1 table
         Jim John  [email protected] -- 1 table
         Mimi Clark  -- [email protected]  -- 2 tables

Total of 6 tables.

The next step in this process is that every member of your group needs to register individually! And when they register they need to say that they are in a group and the name of the group leader. Example:

Notes: Hi I'm in a group and the leaders name is John Smith.

Please leaders, do not respond to this e-mail. Send me a new E-mail with "AA Group Reg" as the title line. If you have any questions about this process please send me an e-mail and I will do the best I can to answer (this will make more since when your actually registering)



*  The first 100 Artists will get to pick their seats this year. Once your payment is received we will e-mail you at the e-mail you register with. Groups this will count for you as well as long as one member is in the first 100 – note we will be contacting the group leader to pick the tables even if the leader is not in the first 100.

[Can a few people reserve tables for a group and still be seated together?]

a group of artists is only allowed to reserve up to 10 tables max. And it is 2 tables max per person. So you cant have a group of 3 artits and get 10 tables.

Can a few people reserve tables for a group and still be seated together?
A lot of my friends are hoping to apply for AA tables this year, and we would probably prefer to be seated near each other. Unfortunately there are a LOT of us and it would be near impossible for one person to shoulder the bill for us just to have us seated together. Would it be ok for say two or three of us to reg for a few of us and then still be seated together?

This is a wonderful question, that I would love to know the answer to as well.


But here is another, more of a semantics, paranoia-talk question:
Is there a limit on how many tables a group will be able to reserve? After talking to other artists, it was posed, "What if, a pool of 100 artists get together, and reserve tables on one person who stays up really late and applies within the first minute of registration opening?"
Of course, that is a doomsday sort of thing, but I could still see people pooling money now to reserve up to 6 or 9 tables at once. But if there is no limit, then who is to say this will not happen?

[Is it absolutely necessary to get the permit BEFORE we are confirmed for a table?]

The whole reason we are telling everyone to get your sellers permits now IS so you have time to get one so go do it now ^^

As for the group reg thing. Yes if you have a group of friends then have one person in charge and have him/her sign your whole group of friends up togeather. this is the only way we can garentee that you will all be seated near eachother.
this is also the only person Fanime AA staff will be talking to so make shure they are responcibal and will tell you all the details. Every artist will need there own sellers permit, the only exception to this is if you are a companey togeather and aer willing to pay taxes togeather. If not then you need your own.

I had a couple questions:

Is it absolutely necessary to get the permit BEFORE we are confirmed for a table?
Not all of us live in California, so we can't just stroll down to the BoE office and get an in person appointment. From past experience it takes a long time to get the form from mail-ins. At the minimum it takes 2 weeks, even in a walk-in for the NYC branch for the BoE.

If its a buisness then 2 names are fine.
If its 2 people selling at one table then there need to be 2 sellers permits

[Fanime Artist Alley Reg is coming up soon]

Hi All

Fanime Artist Alley Reg is coming up soon

A few things you need to know to be ready!!

If you are going to be in a group of people or if you and your buddies all want to be sitting next to each other then talk to them now and pick a leader. That one person is going to register for all of you and that's the only person AA staff will be contacting. (If you do not register together we cannot guarantee tables next to or near each other)

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR CA SELLERS PERMIT NUMBER to sign up for a table this year. So go get them now (http://www.boe.ca.gov/). And every one selling at your table MUST have a valid sellers permit. You also still have to bring 2 copies' to con. One you will give to me at AA Reg and the other you will keep at your table.

The last thing is I want to stop the rumors.
There have been no tables sold for AA yet, no one has a table. And they are all still open.

Pass the word along.


Thanks for reading

Nevr been tyher so I don't know But, Most large hoptels have a business center with a printer. Maybe you could bring a thumb drive and use thiers.

they have horribal printers and crappy paper >.<

hehe i trust you ^.~
just be aware that we will be looking
cant wait to meet you at con

AA Head

i vote you bring a printer along and keep it in your hotel room and print on demand ^.~
but thats just what i would do if i was gonna sell prints

and yes bring everything you need to do commissions they sell better than prints do

also cauz i have to say it, any explicit materlas (anything 18+ or implying 18+) needs to be kept in a binder and you have to check id's. as well as any nudity must be covered (people usualy do this with sticky notes) and if any of the aa staff things something you have on disply is innaproprate we will ask you to slip it into that 18+ binder ^.~

Already planning on having 2 separate binders for explicit images, though I don't think I'll have any actual nudity... mainly just filtering the bl from the normal stuff. My bl stuff isn't cutesy enough for kids to look at.

[all]

For line art, I'd pay 8-10 for a commission from you.
:)
Maybe 12-15 depending on the detail.

Umm.  I'm sorry.  But your art is gorgeous and you should be proud.

In all honesty, I would seriously pay $15 for a comission by you.  Not only that, but your colored stuff is spiffy too!  I'll have to keep an eye out for you ; D.  Can't wait to see you there.

EDIT:  For pricing of the coloring, none of that is worth under $20.

umm i have to agree with Pengin-san
your work is very very nice and i would say to stick to the 8-10 range for line art and up for colors and commissions
good luck well see you at fanime ^.~

Any suggestions on how many prints to bring? I'm working on some fetish girls like a maid, nurse, loli etc. along with some yaoi pieces for the girls so I figure they're probably all going to be selling at the same rate. I think I'll have 15 pieces all together, so maybe 5 of each size?

For on site commissions, I was going to just bring my trusty pen, but should I bring my copics to slap on some quick color as well?
