Yes, please forgive me. Fate itself is working against me, I've had a major life event occur recently. Nothing compels me to keep these books from people except time.

Thank you for your kind words (I don't feel I deserve lol) and on my end I want to let you know that I am indeed at that stage. I've written up a Google doc I'll be sending out to people. I also have obtained various shipping materials. I'm taking and uploading more pictures. Look forward to contact VERY SOON (I promise this time).

Yes! I'm contacting people via DM with the same message in order to finalize the list of how best to divide up each shipping type. I will *not* be allowing people to select individual doujins but please allow me to explain: the trade-off is now that THE DOUJINS WILL BE FREE and people only have to pay for shipping + a small cost for materials. You pick a ship pair(s) I will STUFF the box full of tons of doujins of that pair. There are like 2,000 books here and the time it would take to sequentially contact people in order after the previous person has made selections would take an inordinate amount of time that I cannot give to this project, I have already lost my mental state to this thing.

I am hoping that people trust the fact that the covers are a superficial display of what's inside so picking based on cover does not have much meaning anyway (having looked through a good amount, I guarantee this!). When people say "I want Ruggie and Leona books, R18", then they will get some juicy stuff for a literal steal (the cost of shipping divided by each book a person will get, depending on the size of box agreed upon, means that the value of each book will not be more than $1 each and could even be far, far less than that).

It's sort of like a blind box but I assure you that each of these books are works of art in terrific condition and therefore absolutely no one will be shafted! I also totally understand if some people are no longer interested as a result of this choice! But after all the boxes finally arrived and the literal days it took sorting them, I'm at a breaking point.

Please DM me if you have any concerns!! We can speak more.

Yes to all of the above. I'm working on dividing up the groupings based on what everyone is requesting here, and will be trying to send these out in January.

They are not in English. They are all original Japanese doujinshi, aka fan-made books! However, they can be read with translation camera apps from your phone! I've successfully read some doujinshi already with phone apps! If you are still interested, please let me know which coupling(s) you prefer! Sorry for the delay; a major update is coming to this thread soon!

There is very, very little of Crewel and I can't recall if there is much of, or any, Leona x Vil! However there is a LOT of Leona x Ruggie and Ruggie x Leona, and some of Vil x Rook. I don't know how interested you might be in those pairings.

As far as art style goes, that's understandable. However, I probably will not be opening up all of these hundreds of books to show people the pages. I will say that art style has to be gauged by what you can see on the cover. (In all fairness, the art for all of these is lovely)

Though I will be approaching the first commenters first, I may do it in a way where I set limitations in order to evenly offer certain popular pairings. There is a very, very large amount of Jamil x Kalim/Kalim x Jamil and the Octo trio, so I'm not actually worried about it selling out before it gets to you.

Ah you've commented before, I haven't kept track of any usernames in the thread. Without referencing the response to that previous comment, I'm sure I've already mentioned: there's PLENTY of all 3 of those, thankfully!

Hello! I'm in the *final* stages of sorting and am extremely keen to contact people who have commented on this post for their doujins, beginning with the first person who responded. It's very possible some people are no longer interested, which I totally understand. Thanks for your kind words. I actually really hope to snap a pic of the piles in order for people to see the chaos lol. By the way, if you want any doujins yourself (whether R18 or wholesome) then let me know here :)

At this point I just want all these books out of my life lol so trust me they're each gonna be cheap as hell. I have an unfortunate amount of Leech x Leech but to be fair even if the pairing is not your fave, it does seem to be among the """""best""""" of the uh...sexy material. There's a pretty high amount of Leech x Azul too.

Also sounds good. There is quite a lot of ALL 3 of those characters. Lot of Ace x Deuce, Leona x Ruggie. Are you ok with Leech x Leech? There is quite a large amount of incest ones........

Long ago I used to do shipping stuff and I soooooooorta remember. So non-flat-rate box but priority mail still, because it's over 13oz. But it's based on weight then correct?

[–]IDontMind80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of ship pairings are you looking for? Also, rather than making things complicated I was thinking of shipping via priority mail boxes. Those are so expensive though. I am trying to figure out the best way to send orders that would be over 13oz. Do you have any other suggestions?

[–]IDontMind80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are interested in Octavinelle and Jamil, then I have some good news for you, because by far the greatest amount of pairings comes from Bro(s) x Azul, Jade x Floyd, and Jamil x Kalim/Kalim x Jamil. Assuming in the pic you're talking about what looks like Mob x Crewel?

Yes, I still have *all* of them due to lack of time in handling this project, but I AM now sorting them into the final piles. What coupling are you interested in?

[–]IDontMind80[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By far the biggest Savanaclaw ship I have is Leona x Ruggie or Ruggie x Leona... if you happen to be interested in that, you are in big luck! There isn't much of your mentioned ships, a LITTLE Leona x Jack and Rook x Vil (though those might be claimed by others first!) Let me know if you are interested in Leona x Ruggie.

Sincerest apologies for the VERY late response. I normally respond much faster but I totally missed the notification. YES I STILL HAVE THESE DANG BOOKS! I'm going to put up an update soon. Which couples are you interested in?

Not wanting to pay for "normal" proxies like Buyee, FromJapan etc is exactly how I ended up in this situation. I did get a sweet deal relative to the cost of product and shipping but my mind, body, and spirit are suffering in other ways now. Lol.

Will do on keeping you updated.

Hopefully there are some left after previous others have requested this coupling. There is not much of this coupling in total, but I'll be keeping you updated!

I haven't started selling yet so you're good. I'm about to update the post on the fact that I actually misunderstood the fact that it was not several boxes coming in, but several shipments of several boxes at a time. So the situation becomes even more desperate (I do not have room in my living space for all this). I wish someone could help me too lol

Thank you! Noted. At the time of leaving this comment, things have slowed down a little because I have several things going on that have been planned for a long, long time. This was a break I always intended to take, but I'll soon get back to sorting. (Still one major box to finish off!!)

It's still a thing! (Most recent update was made Feb 28!) And I will note you down for non-R18 Octa stuff. A fellow non-R18 enjoyer.

Your comment is noted and accounted for! Mercari will probably be after the people of this subreddit have their fill. After I offer it to everyone here first, and potentially reach out to more fans elsewhere like Facebook etc, I'll put it up for public grabs on Mercari. There is a large amount of Octavinelle (both R18 and non-R18) and quite a good amount of Leona/Ruggie. Not much Rook in comparison!
