_.*GENERAL QUESTIONS*._
Question: Who is Shuichi?
Answer: Well, I'm the Hostess of this site, a KiSS artist and resource maker. I'm the only one who runs this site, although I do have a little help now and then from friends when I have CPU troubles. Shuichi, or Shuichi Haruru is the name of a character of mine, he's my Mascot. Although the surname is inspired by Shindou Shuichi from Gravitation, but Shuichi is a popular name really.
Question: Who the hell is Freekissforall? and what's her problem with you?
Answer: She a stupid twit/opportunist who abuses my works, yet she argues poorly back that she isn't doing anything wrong. But not only does she happen to steal from me and rip me off, but other artists as well just so she can become popular. Cosmic Fail on an Epic level. Her name may be 'Freekissforall', but she really doesn't have anything to do with KiSS to start with. She's a nobody, illiterate gravity fuck who picks fights with teenagers and also can't admit to her own wrong doings. She suffers from a large amount of Denial and makes Nazi's look good. Avoid this little thief for your own safety. Thank you.
Question: Can you make me a website layout?
Answer: No, sorry. I don't take requests, even for layouts as they can be quiet difficult and I'm no HTML wizz either, matter of fact, I'm terrible and rely heavily on tutorials available on the net.
_.*KISEKAE TEMPLATE/BASE QUESTIONS*._
Question: What Programs do you use to make a KiSS Base?
Answer: MSPaint all the way, and maybe Photoshop to turn the Bitmap into a .Gif or a .Png. Photoshop will help keep the correct colors when saving to a .Gif. So I'm in it for the quality and usefulness!
Question: Why the .Gif? I can't use them!
Answer: Why? Because it saves bandwidth, loads fast and doesn't take up tons of space. It benefits me in many ways. As for not being able to use them, that is because you're an idiot. Here, let me help you; In a .Gif, there is a limit of 256 colours, no more. You need to re-save the file as a .BMP or .PNG. This will now allow you to use any desired colour.
Question: Where can I find your KiSS Bases?
Answer: See Templates. You will find my lovely and horrifying original KiSS bases; They're half decent in all honesty.
Question: How do I credit you if I've used your KiSS Base in my Set?
Answer: You may put credit anywhere in your set, I prefer putting it in the read me file as it doesn't spam your KiSS Set. I ask that you provide my Artist name, my email and webpage, hopefully like this example;

Don't forget to send me the Completed KiSS Set too. I'd love you forever if you could ~ :D
Question: Can I use your KiSS Bases for anything other then KiSS Sets?
Answer: No! and that's my final decision.
Question: May I make a KiSS set Doll-maker/Character Generator with your KiSS Base?
Answer: NO & NEVER. I hate that stuff with a bloody passion. Do not turn or involve my work with Doll-makers, I will be furious.
Question: Can I change Male Bases into females?
Answer: NO, NO AND NO. Males are too rare on the internet, leave them alone! If you cannot tell what KiSS bases are male, please, ask me about it so I can clear it up. If you have already gender-fucked my Male KiSS bases then you must immediately take them down and never do it again, or you suck old hairy man-testicles & I hate you ~ D:<
Question: Can female KiSS Bases become Males?
Answer: Yes, yes. I see no problem here. More men FTW!
Question: Can I post my edits of your Bases on my site or a place like DA, SA, etc?
Answer: NO. Keep them to yourself for private use only, and don't you dare upload them to Photobucket. If I find them on photobucket, I will report them straight away and you will be in deep shit.
Question: Can I use your KiSS Bases for Money Making, forum currencies, Gaia gold.. etc?
Answer: No. KiSS is fun and free, leave it be.
Question: Can I use your Bases for Adult KiSS?
Answer: I have no problem with Hentai Dolls, I like them if they are well done enough. Just let me know about this through email as not all my KiSS bases can be used for Hentai KiSS sets. For example, no Lolli/Shota Sets on my young Bases no matter how irresistible it seems. Don't forget to send me the completed KiSS set if you do make something, I'd like to see it!
Question: Can I use Bases out of your KiSS Sets for my own KiSS Sets?
Answer: No. Some of the things I make are for private use only, which includes certain KiSS Bases in my Sets. Leave them be!
Question: Do you take Requests for KiSS Bases?
Answer: No.
Question: Please take my Request!! Why won't you?
Answer: I'm really not interested, so leave it.
Question: How about a KiSS Base Collab?
Answer: As long as it will be used for KiSS Sets, I think I'd do it.
Question: Can I turn a Drawing you made into a Base?
Answer: Honestly, no thanks. I like KiSS bases, not Pixel Bases. I like KiSS Sets, not Pixel Dolls. I enjoy drawing males, but, I don't enjoy drawing males just so they can be gender fucked by someone else. Gender fucking my Males pisses me off, which is why I don't like drawing pictures for others to use. None of you can guarantee me anything.
Question: Will you Host my Bases if I ask nicely?
Answer: I'm not into doing that. If you'd like your Bases Hosted freely, see the KiSS Café, Eph will host them for you if you don't have a web page of your own! How nice of her. Or you may also sign up with DeviantART if you haven't already done that. It's free.
_.*KiSS SET QUESTIONS*._
Question: What Programs do you use to make KiSS?
Answer: I use Gif2Cel, MSPaint, NotePad, PlayFKiSS & Direct KiSS.
Question: What is an Expansion Set?
Answer: It is an add-on created for the original KiSS Set. It may feature more clothes, hairstyles and accessories for the original KiSS Set in which it was made for. Expansion sets cannot work without the original KiSS Set.
Question: What do you consider to be Adult?
Answer: Firstly, visible Nipples and genitals, like a Penis for example, on a KiSS base are not adult to me, we all have that stuff whether we like it or not. Gore and Cussing are also not adult to me. Alcohol and Drugs, depending on the focus of them can be safe and adult. But things like Sex Toys, lots of bondage, and sex itself is something I would consider to be Adult and not for the light hearted. As for Yaoi & Yuri - can be safe and Adult. Just be careful how explicit it is.
Question: Can I edit your KiSS Set and add more clothes?
Answer: If you would like to make an expansion set for one of my Sets, feel free too, and send it to me so I can add it on my KiSS page along with your details. If you intend to edit my entire set and release it as your own KiSS Set, my answer to you is no. I do not like my sets being edited and re-distributed like that.
Question: Can I make an already finished KiSS set by you into a Adult Set?
Answer: No.. I don't like seeing my sets edited and re-distributed. As I said before, expansion sets are fine though.
Question: Can I use some of your Clothes Designs from your KiSS Sets?
Answer: Email me first ~ I must be notified about this before hand! End of discussion.. I just so happen to be original, I don't copy designs at all or on purpose, unless I'm making Fan-KiSS Set of various characters where I include their wardrobe..
Question: Can I Screen shot a KiSS Set of yours and use it as my Character Design or use it as a Picture of my Character?
Answer: No. no. no. NO. NO. NO!!
I do NOT make Doll-Makers or character generators; get that straight. I do not make that bull shit. My Sets are a means of Fanart and Original art only. I will not tolerate anyone taking from my sets. Taking from them is Art Theft. Leave them alone.
Question: I have a KiSS Set request, will you make it?
Answer: I do not take up Requests under any circumstances. Go make it yourselves.
Question: Will you help out an Artist having KiSS troubles?
Answer: Just depends on the problem because I use, Gif2Cel and Direct KiSS or PlayFKiSS to make my KiSS Sets, and beside that, my KiSSing skills are very basic. Ask me anyway, I do help the odd one out now and then. Also, it's best if you visit Otakuworld and look around in the Forums, there's plenty of helpful stuff there.
Question: Will you code my Set?
Answer: My skills are very limited, but I'm willing to help if I am not too busy and if the Set isn't huge! If you provide me with your KiSS Cels, KCF, Read Me file and etc, I can do these things;
- Create a configuration file >> .CNF
- Apply Fix to whatever cel you need it for.
- Add a comment to any cel.
- Create Transparent Cels.
- FKiSS >> Snap-To
- FKiSS >> Press & Release function
- FKiSS >> Map & Unmap cycles
- Create a LZH
What I cannot do is use Timers. I can try, but there is no guarantee that I can get it to work. Also, if you require a Menu, I can try and get that working for you, but once again, I hold no Guarantees. I'm still very limited in FKiSS.
Question: KiSS Set Collab? Please?
Answer: I can't say no or yes, but what I can say is if you can get my attention and don't rush me, maybe I'll volunteer with 2 - 8 outfits. I can't generally give you a straight answer whether I'd want to or not. Please keep in mind, that I'm really fussy and very critical. If I turn you down, don't be offended, I'm not that great as an artist anyway, and I might be busy too. Keep that in mind that I do have other things to work on and a life outside of KiSS.
