birgit43 now at tsr

[chlyn]

Birgit recently recreated some items from an evil Sims 1 paysite (a bad sign right there). She posted them in the Juniper Sun forum to show what she was working on.

After all the oohs and aahs, she said, "I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to charge for these." That caused a huge uproar. She ended up being shamed into offering them for free.

So I'm not surprised that she ended up on TSR. She's admitted that the money she charges at Studio B43 is not for bandwidth - she says she deserves it as compensation for her time.

Gosh....if I got compensation for my time while doing my hobby.....

::::start Wayne's World dream sequence visuals:::::

Besides TS2, my biggest hobby is writing...while I occasionally work on a novel, the bigest part of my writing is journaling. So....an average page has 250 words and takes approximately an hour to write, with edits, thinking, complete deletions, ranting to myself about my absurd lack of talent, and chastising myself for thinking I could put two sentences together.....

....as a technical writer in the aerospace industry, I made about $25/hour before taxes....as a writing instructor, I make $45/hour before taxes....but as a theatre critic, I only made $50 for 400 words.....

....so...

.....since it's a hobby, I should stay on the low side and charge....$31.25 per page....

EXCELLENT!

:::end dream sequence:::::


Yeah, right. I don't think anyone would pay for THAT dribble, and it even belongs to me.

[Pescado]

I'll give you three plug nickels and a wooden shekel for it.

[Electricstatic]

Fuck, I'm a writer too but I haven't written anything in AGES. For those prices, I'll have to get to work!

(Pescado, how about four plug nickels and a shot of rum?)

I love Aikea's stuff. Everyone here is completely right about her.

Am I the only life form in the known universe that isn't crazy about her stuff?  I mean, all her stuff is great quality and she does deserve to be an FA, I'm not disputing that.  But, all her male meshes make guys look like boyband teenagers.

[RedLove]

I don't like her stuff period. It just seems so dark and sad to me. I can't stand her boy stuff. I'm sorry but it doesn't look very boyish to me. More like so emo rock band. But their are some of her girl pants that I have liked. And the new capris. Atleast I think they're new.

[fourohfourerror]

I love her pants and those new capris.  I don't really like much else that she's done, but the quality of all her stuff (that I've seen) is still really good, whether I like the style or not.  How awesome would it be if she went free?

[Jojoba]

Surprise surprise  :roll:

[Tramen]

*headdesk*

And we've lost another one to the dark side...not that her stuff is that amazing anyway :lol:

[Gwendolyne]

Nooooo, what a surprise! Now

Well, that's definitely a killmark. See, if we push all the paysites into a single paysite, we'll only need ONE active subscription to pirate them all. This is awesome.

Is it a surprise that her PAY sets are still on her site, while all of her FREE sets are now PAY at TSR  :twisted:

[Jojoba]

Is it a surprise that her PAY sets are still on her site, while all of her FREE sets are now PAY at TSR  :twisted:

Well she is truely money grabbing then, so will fit in nicely at TSR   :wink:

ETA: If those paysets at TSR were once free, that means that a large amount of people already have them...so makes it easier for us really  :roll:

[missangelica]

And we've lost another one to the dark side...not that her stuff is that amazing anyway :lol:

No, she was already dark.  If you remember she tried to sell a project that the community had worked on together.  I think she pulled other stuff like this as well.

She's just at one with her people now is all.

[Caedre]

Barf, birgit a FA?
TSR is truly full of crap!

[CaitSneko]

dont they have enough FAs anyway?! Besides the fact that some of them are crap and dont deserve to be there*couchatwacough* I do agree that pirating them will be easier if they all huddle into one site. Probably ten times funnier to....I can see it now.

[Hecubus]

Birgit's sets are being uploaded to the booty as we speak...and I got them for FREE, bitch, before you signed your soul-selling contract.

They should be released by 4pm...stay tuned.

(Gee, Sasilla's not been made FA yet...she must be CRYING!!)
