So, first manip I have ever done. As usual, if there is any tags I missed (I know I just had to miss a few) feel free to add them, and go easy on me if you give feed back!

It's very nice indeed and yes that free spot of tea goes a long way.

Always hate it when people disregard the story and characters of a copyright in a manip (okay, I'm a little guilty of this myself, but that said I'm still ashamed of ever having done it), but I'll admit that's a matter of personal taste more than anything, but that's still ten points from Gryffindor, Mr./Ms. Shockster. Just saying, there's no doubt plenty of original images with a couple of maids in a cafe that you could've used just as easily as this one. Or optionally tie the text at least loosely to the established canon. But again, personal taste, disregard the raging nitpicker rather than fan the flames if you disagree. Not trying to start a debate here.

That said, good, readable font, decent enough story (though I'll admit I'm more of an induction man myself) and the eyes are quite well done... I think. The expressions don't exactly say 'under', but without knowing the strength of the MC I can't really say if it's a fault or not.

And yet the strange thing is, what bothers me the most about the image is that the interior doesn't really look like the maid cafe in Higurashi. Can't deduce any points for that of course, but I just find it kinda weird...

look at it this way kinky. what happens when their..... instabilities, kick in.

it may not be completely canon, but it can work with a little creative thinking.

You know you've done a good job when people think nothing's changed and tagged it caption_only after you've manipped it =P

Regarding tags, when I first started I frequently looked at this page:
hypnohub.net/wiki/show?title=help%3Atagging_guidelines
It helps you at least remember to tag the 'main' things (like induction method and dom/sub.)

Nerd rant below, because apparently I just can't stay consistent for 5 hours about not wanting to debate...

The "instabilities" in question tend to manifest as destructive urges and major paranoia, not blindly trusting strangers. Besides, these are Rena and Shion, both gals who actually operate fairly well even under those conditions. Hard to believe those two would go down without a fight. Point being, unless we take a trip into some serious hypertime this ain't really making sense, even when you consider the Umineko meta, as even there MC isn't seen all that much, if at all really.

There are a few reasons I chose this picture. It seemed to work better than all the other ones I had planned, being the main reason. I really do apologize if this one has troubled you, and for some of my future manips, this problem will probably not occur. But, yes, you are right about the personal taste part. I WAS trying to stick close to it, but eventually the story I was drifting into was better than I planned, and I went with it. Again, sorry if this piece troubled you!

Thanks for that page, I'll just save that... I seemed to miss the most obvious tags such femsub, or even text... so I feel that page will be VERY important to me :P
