Postponement of Rochu fanbook 'Our Secret History'
Hi everyone, the printing of 'Our Secret History' will be postponed to August because I'm going overseas for vacation next month and will not have time to work on the book. I apologize for any inconvenience caused ^^;
On the bright side, I think I've successfully convinced a very good illustrator to draw the cover for the book! She draws covers for romantic Chinese novels and her illustrations are simply gorgeous! We're still working out the details but I'm confident that we can look forward to an epic cover! ^^ The reason for the postponement is also partially because she needs time to draw.
Although I wish I could use my dolls' photos on my cover, I have to sadly admit that my photography and editing skills are not good enough to create the epic cover that I wish to have. To those who like my dolls (thank you very much <3), I'll still include photos of them in the book itself.
Many thanks to those who have already indicated interest in the book! I'm really very touched, and I will consider making it available to more people.

Artist Recruitment for 'Our Secret History'
Do read more info about this book before you proceed.
Still interested? Great! ^^
I'm looking for Rochu fans who are willing to contribute illustrations for free, for a free copy of the book + other memorabilia (see point 2 further down) in return, or deviant art points.
What your illustration will be used for:
1) Book will be for myself, free for artists who did free requests and gift arts for the book, and free for select few people who have been supporting my stories with constant feedback and encouragement.
2) Postcards and prints of illustrations will be printed as special souvenirs for artists who did the free requests.
3) An ebook version will be available for free download / online viewing.
4) If there are other people who are interested in owning a physical copy of the book, but I do not know them well, they are expected to pay the base cost of printing one book + shipping fees.
This is strictly a non-profit, non-commercial project.
Crediting:
A page in the book will be set aside to credit all artists' artworks by desired name and url. I will consult all artists who contributed their art on how to write the credits before the book is sent for printing.
Content:
Types of illustrations that I require are full-colour illustrations of fluffy/happy Rochu or NC16-R18 Rochu. Style-wise, I love Shoujo style, cute styles and chibis, but I'm willing to consider other styles. The final illustration is required to be at least 300 dpi, with dimensions of 17.6 cm x 25 cm so that it is a full-page illustration.
If you have further questions or want to sign up, email me at
