What is doujinshi?  

   Doujin are generally fan comics, independently published by small groups (see 'circle' below), 99.9% of the time  

   Japanese.  Assume all of my books are in Japanese unless otherwise stated.  o_O

What does _________ mean?

   You may come across a lot of terms in dealing with doujinshi that you are not familiar with.  Here is a brief overview.  

               Shounen-ai = literally 'boy's love' (romance between boys)

                  Yaoi = Slash (homosexual activity between males)

                  Gen = General (no overt romantic pairings)
                  Circle:  This is the group who published the doujin.  Sometimes a circle is just one artist, and sometimes it is a compilation.

                  G, PG, PG-13, R (or M), NC-17 (or X) - These are ratings based on content.  G is considered suitable for a general audience.  

                  R and NC-17 may continue anywhere from subtle to overt sexuality and violence.  

Where can I buy doujinshi?
   Well, you can buy a few books from me (*shameless plug*), but I also have a list of online retailers here. 

There's a bunch of weird symbols on your page.  What's going on?
   You probably don't have Japanese enabled on your computer/in your browser.  Try tweaking your language settings and it 

   should work out.  

Are any of these in English?

   Generally, no.  There may be one or two (such as Lillithium's) which are in English, but most of them are in Japanese.  If one 

   is in English (or any language other than Japanese, for that matter), that fact will be mentioned in the description.  Also, there 

   are scanlations (translated scans) for some of them available.  I have linked to those in their individual descriptions.

Do you collect doujinshi from other fandoms?

   Sort of.  I have a few Ouran Highschool Host Club doujin (most of which I am willing to sell or trade if you are interested) 

   and a few InuYasha doujin, most of which are Sesshoumaru-centric (some of which are also available for sale or trade).  Be 

   sure to check out their respective sites!

Who are you?

   Well, I'm flattered that you asked!  I'm a Harry Potter freak who spends too much time on the internet (don't we all).

Buying doujinshi from Oh, Potter, you Rotter!

Ordering:  

Just email me (potter you rotter at gmail dot com) and let me know what you want and how much you want to pay for it.  Also tell me where you live so I can calculate shipping for you.  I check my email obsessively o_O

Shipping:  

First class shipping for one or two books within the U.S. is generally 2 USD.  This method takes only a few days and is probably the best deal.  However, first class becomes priority mail if the weight of the combined books and packaging is at or above one pound.  Priority mail costs 5 USD.  International shipping rates differ, but generally I use Airmail Letter Post (now called 'First Class Mail International,' methinks) which costs anywhere from 6 USD (for one or two books) to 12 or 14 USD.  Please ask me if you are concerned about shipping costs!  I usually ship within a few business days of payment, and will notify you when your package has been mailed.

Payment:  

My preferred method of payment is Paypal.  I know it's evil, but I use it anyway.  You can send Paypal payments to potter you rotter  @  gmail dot com.  I also accept checks, money orders (US), cashier's checks (US), International Postal Money Orders (outside the US),  and well-concealed cash in USD.  No change please!  I expect payment within a few days of your order.  I will only hold items for you for a few days unless you continue to make contact  with me.  

Trust:

How do you know I won't just take your money and run?  You don't.  But that hasn't stopped people from ordering from me in the  past!   If you are worried about my trustworthiness, please contact me (potter you rotter at gmail dot com) and I will link you to my eBay feedback. 

  A shout out to everyone who has helped me with translations. 

I wouldn't know the English names for many of these books if it weren't for you!  <3
