Questions related to the website itself and me:

Q. Help! Where can I find Sailor Moon episodes on TV?!
A. I'm afraid that I'm not much of help on that. In each region (like Arizona or Michigan) TV Stations are different meaning that one TV station in Arizona may air SailorMoon on different time or channel than one in Michigan. Also, Sailor Moon is somewhat old show (it first aired on TVs in 1994), so TV stations stopped airing SailorMoon to make room for new shows like InuYasha, Naruto, Bleach,, Tokyo Mew Mew, etc..

Q. What does TRSE stand for?
A. It stands for The Realm of Sailor Energy. So-called "Sailor Energy", a mascot of this website, is a mythical name used by general public, for they never have actually seen her. The true identity of "Sailor Energy" was Energeia, the isolated mediator of the energy forces that kept the universes alive and running.

Q. Do you do Aol Messanger/Yahoo Messanger/MSN/GoogleTalk/Dot.com/otherchat?
A. Millions of times, NO! I prefer just the emails to keep my schedules well managed. Such chats commonly take long time, and I have limits on time allocation toward use of internet (meaning I don't have much time to be online).

Q. Why are there no music/soundtracks on your website?
A. I am deaf, so I am unable to hear and understand music/soundtrack. Also, it is my experience that they carry more disadvantages than advantages. The music files are usually large, and they greatly congest the loading of any pages.  I consider them totally unnecessary, and same thing goes for Comet Cursors, Plugin, Javas, and animated GIFs too.

Q. Why are there no almost Animated GIFs on your website?
A. Like music, they have too much disadvantages that hinder the downloading of my website. Each animated GIF make up of several images put together, hence, they take up more memory space than regular GIFs. As a result, the loading of the pages are congested, and eat up bandwidths (costs) too. Beside, they're too distracting anyway.

Q. Have you received any awards? Why are they not shown on your website?
A. I decided not to post any awards I receive due to lack of room. I  had received (and been offered) very many awards, but I don't have room for them. ^_^;;

Q. Wow, you're a great website builder! Will you please help me build my website?!
A. Regrettably no, I'm already busy from running my own website, my jobs, chores, and working on my projects. All I can do for you is provide you some tips.  Beside, you won't be able to learn anything if I build your website with my own hands. You need to be able to use your brains to learn to build and maintain a website, and that can be done by PLAYING with the page building tools such as Netscape Composer, Frontpage or Pagebuilders.

Q. I love your graphics! Where did you got them from?!
A. Almost all graphics in my website are made entirely by myself. ^_^ You can use some graphics available at the Kawaii GIF Galleries (but not anywhere else).

Q. What is "Bookmark" and how do I bookmark a page?
A. "Bookmark" is like a bookmark in a book. The internet was treated like online books and Netscape coined the term "Bookmark" used to save the links to their favorite pages so they can come back to them quickly. Bookmark is easy to find in Netscape browser.
   Internet Explorer uses "Favorites" in place of "Bookmarks". To bookmark a page, just click on "Favorites" and a menu'll show up. Click on "Add" and the page is added to the list, all ready for you to come back to that page. ^_^

Q. How do you email a picture?
A. It depends on what kind of email system you're using. Look for something like "Attach Files" that should show up when you type in a box. Hit that and use "Browse" to find the picture in your computer (you need to know where it is) and hit "Attach". Now the picture is attached to an emil and you're ready to send it. ^_^

Q. Will you please email me pictrues/tutorials/GIFs?
A. No, I cannot do that. Beside, that is what the websites like TRSE:Facets of the Silver Crystal are for, and all they do is explore around, and they'll f ind what they need. ^_^

Q. Will you please show me how to draw?
A. It's too difficult for me to teach anyone to draw thru emails (it's a lot easier to show them how to draw than just blah blah blah). I can answer any questions and offer tips, that's all.

Questions related to the fanarts & GIFs:

Q. How do I submit my artworks (fanarts, mini-mangas, GIFs)?
A. Click on the following links:
        -Fanart Submission Rules
        -Mini-Mangas Submission Rules
        -Kawaii GIF Submission Rules
        -Diorama GIF Submission Rules
        -Doll GIF Submission Rules

Q. How do I download/save the GIFs to my computer??
A. Position your cursor arrow (mouse) over a GIF you want, and click on the right button for the mouse. A little window will show up and look for "Save Image As" or something like that. That one will save the image to your computer, and just be sure to know where in the computer you're saving the images to.

Q. Why do the characters in your fanarts seem more realistic than that of Anime (shorter legs for example)?
  A. Pls refer to Notes on Jeffrey A.'s Drawing Styles

Q. How long does it take you to draw a fanart?
A. It depends. It takes about a minimum of two hours to finish a simple and computer colored fanart. I tend to do a number of fanarts at a time. Higher quality a drawing is, more time it will take to finish it.

Q. Do you take fanarts of fanfic/otaku/fan-created senshi?
A. No, I cannot take those kind of drawings due to memory space considerations. My website is like a hotel which all rooms already have been booked, no room for those kind of fanarts meaning that I don't have time or space to "build new rooms".

Q. Can you tell me where can I find the art programs used to make GIFs?
A. Try those:
Magic Button Help Files/GIFFY-Free downloadable "GiFFY" program for those who have only MS Paint. That program can convert the BMPs into GIFs with tranparent background. ^_^
Pixia an art program developed by Japanese artist, can be used to do any computer-editing/coloring. It can be downloaded for free

Questions related to the fanfiction mangas/comics/djoushini:

Responses to Negative Comments:
C. You draw good, but you don't draw the characters right!
A. No artist (not even those Japanese artists who worked on SM episodes) can get their Sailor Moon drawings 100% right. The way each artist draw is influenced by how skilled they are, their history of practice, and  their preferences (like I prefer shorter legs). Look at Naoko Takeuchi's artworks, and see how totally different her drawing style is from that of the Anime. If Naoko T. can draw Sailor Moon in her own style, so can I.  Beside, if all artists are to draw the same, the world of fanarts would be quite boring. There is no such thing as perfect.

C. Your website is useless!
A. On the contrary, each website is useful to the right people. Many people found my website to be very useful, because of its fanarts, fanfictions, GIFs, tips, How To Draw Tutorials, large collection of links, and museums. My website is to be specialized in the fans' artworks and fanfic mangas, and I do have links after all. ^_^ You're looking for something I don't have, that's all.

C. Your website sucks/ugly/boring!
A. That's your problem not mine. My website is designed to be simple and effiecient. Don't it seem easy to go around in this website?
