If she was set as a "retired artist" as Stitches said, it must have changed in the last day or so:
GS Emilie at TSR is currently an "Awarded Artist". All of her stuff requires a subscription to download, as well.
Oh, no-- wait. It does require a subscription to download, but she's under "Retired Artist" on the "Retired Artists" page. I guess having "Select Artist" and "Retired Artist" is just another way of saying "they don't make stuff anymore, but people like them too much for us to make them free-- I mean, goodness, man, what would that do to our
profits?!"
Either way, it's too bad- I was hoping to get some of it.
I had no idea the owner of Boutique Emilie was also the owner of Get Skintight., though. I missed that site, and had no idea where it had disappeared to.
Guess I didn't care
that much, otherwise I would have found it out by now.
I liked Boutique Emilie pretty well, but I'm not so disappointed by its closing.
As for the "I do not want my donation sets to be shared, even though the site is closing" thing, I would guess it was because it might be seen as unfair by the subscribers. "I paid for this, and now they're getting it for free?
Outrage!"
Then again, of course, I have my suspicions of her moving to TSR. But, they're just that: suspicions. Basically unfounded! And if I turn out to be wrong, everyone can point and laugh at me.
I'm quite okay with that.
