Fabula Bestia roughly means "Fable Beasts" in Latin. And that's exactly what these are, new takes on mythological creatures. For instance, the ever popular Dragons. ninja Think you're up to the challenge of taming these dangerous critters?

1. Absolutely no art theft. You may add Easter Alley products to a 'toybox' type sig or other Gaia based things. However, claiming MegaRose's work as your own, or worse, trying to resell it, will result not only in being blacklisted from the shop but a swift kick in the pants from the Gaia mods.
2. Don't PM Staff. If you have a shop-related question or comment, just post it here. Don't worry, I'll see it. ^_^
3. Don't beg. It's so pathetic, really. And it's not like these are expensive by any stretch of the imagination.
4. Be literate. Use proper English if you want me to take you seriously. I can't respond to posts or fill orders if I can't read them. rofl
5. No Direct Linking. There's plenty of free image hosters out there, make use of them. Like Photobucket.
6. All Minishop Rules and Regulations apply. But don't worry, there's a handy little sticky to guide us all here. You can bet I'll be keeping an eye on it myself. biggrin

Will be added to as necessary.

Uh-oh... Looks like someone mixed up the plushie fabric with the sample watermarks. This whole shipment of secret tipper's plush dragons has 'sample' written into it's skin! I can't SELL mistakes like this, but maybe if I leave them out here, someone will come along and make them scarce...

((Free for all to take!))

1. Copy and paste the following form into a post.

[color=blue][b][u]Placing an order![/u][/b][/color]
Product (Price)
Product (Price)
Product (Price), etc.
------------------
Total price:

2. Fill in the proper information. 'Product (Price)' should be self explanatory. If for some reason it's not clear, you put the product name and price there, for example, 'Brown Spot Rabbit (80g).' Just continue that pattern for as long as you need to get your full order in. For the total price, you just add everything up. Simple, yes? Most computers have calculators on them.
3. Post the order in this thread.
4. Send a trade with the proper amount to Pharaohess. It would greatly help speed up delivery time if you put the page number in the trade title. Otherwise I have to shuffle through the thread to find your order.
5. I will confirm the trade and PM your stuff to you. Please do not direct link. ^_^
6. You confirm the trade.
7. You can request that your pets be certed for a 10g fee (per cert). Prices subject to change, first two certs per person are free. Just add this form to your order: - NEW!

[color=green][b][u]Cert Request![/u][/b][/color]
Pet: (Blue Seabat, etc.)
Pet Name:
Owner Name:
Gender:

Pet: (Blue Seabat, etc.)
Pet Name:
Owner Name:
Gender:
------------------
Total Price:

For multiple cert requests, please separate each one with a space, as above.

Note: You can request text links instead of images for your order, to spare dial-up computers.

I will ignore any orders that are PMed to me, or do not send a trade or are illegible.

Phara, you have some crazy prices!!! gonk
Not really, it just seems that way. sweatdrop They make perfect sense if you work on a 75% commission. wink

Why is everything in red? @_@
I don't know, I've been posting in red for years, just kind of attached to it I suppose. No, red isn't my favorite color.....blue is. rofl

Can I direct link?
Sorry, no, but there's plenty of free image hosters out there.

What is direct linking?
Direct linking is when you take the image(s) I PM you and put them directly into your sig or wherever, instead of saving them to your harddrive and uploading them to your own image hoster.

Why is it bad?
Because it steals bandwidth, and most of us use image hosters with limited bandwidth. Once that bandwidth is gone the images will stop working until it's reset next month.

Do you deliver gifts?
Yes. If you buy something and want it to be a gift for someone, you may ask us to deliver it with a message of your choice. ^_^

Why should people who have already bought from here come back in November?
Because we will then have the option to cert your pets, for a slight fee(first one or two free, if you've bought your pet before then). biggrin I'll be notifying all previous customers when that happens so they can come back and get their purchases certed, if they'd like.

Do you do customs?
Depends on the custom. Doesn't hurt to ask though. biggrin Keep in mind, customs that are one-of-a-kind or limited will be more expensive than ones we can resale. Customs do not have a specific delivery time and can take significantly longer to receive than normal orders.

Can I stick your banner in my sig/profile/whatever to advertise for you?
You bet your patootie you can. ^_^ Nothing we love more than lots of customers. heart

What about bumping?
Go for it. biggrin Just remember: No huge, page-stretching bumps, and only bump when it needs it (basically whenever it's not on the first page of Minishops). Conversations are welcome too.

What program do you use to make these pets?
GIMP. It's free, just do a search for it. 3nodding

Can you...
Arrange purchases into a 500x500 or otherwise specified image?
Yes.
Make purchases into Couples?
Yes.
Add text?
Yes.
Make Simple Bumps?
Yes.

Hey...this layout and FAQ look an awful lot like Easter Alley's...
*coughs* It's all in your head... ninja

I want to order from Fabula Bestia and Easter Alley. Should I put them both in the same trade?
I would prefer you send them in separate trades, but as the bank only allows you one trade per person at a time, you may stick both orders in one trade if you mention that's what you're doing in one or both order posts and the trade title. Just shorten their names to EA and FB if you need the room. ^_^

Will be added to as necessary. 3nodding

I'm constantly looking for ideas on how to improve the shop. If you have an idea for new color schemes or new products, please post them. If you have a complaint about service or find something on the front page to be unclear, please post. If you think something could've been made better, just toss me a suggestion on how to redo it. I will NOT listen to one-dimensional comments along the lines of 'you suck i could draw these pictures in 5 secs and itll look better than u! go kill urself you suck!' Because I don't care. Please say something constructive. ^_^

To make it easier for me to spot suggestions, post them in indigo, bold, underlined text.

Hunter82

I think if would be great of you could provide accessories or add ons to the creatures so then you can have a unique creature instead of all the same. Just a suggestion.

M. A. Foxfire

I'd like it if there were griffins with the elaborate patterns of the rainbows, but with the original colors.

As well as I think that'd go off, I can't imagine doing that with the existing animals. The seabats' fins kind of get in the way, and the minotaurs are drawn in a position that'd be kind of awkward. Perhaps if there was a big enough demand for it, I could make a new dragon better suited to customization, and provide a bunch of items n' stuff for it.
