I claim no ownership of the intellectual property of the characters within (with the exception of the character of Love, the Winds, and various unnamed background characters). This product is free of charge for your consumption. My only claim is the story itself and the illustrations within. By tipping any amount, you agree that you are tipping for the illustrations exclusively. Long story short, I have no idea how this works, but this is the only files-haring website I could think to use that has such a neat format, and reading the terms and agreements it looks okay(?) If I receive any sort of notice, I'll adjust accordingly.
