Scuttlebutt Inc. is comprised of two writers: Jess (JadePrince on LJ) and Kim (Kinbu on LJ). We're also rabid One Piece fans, not quite as rabid (outwardly) yaoi fans, cosplayers and artists. And yes, because apparently there have been rumors... we are 'an item'. We live together, we've been together for coming up on three years. We live in San Diego, California and travel all over the country selling our art at anime conventions. Visit our business site, www.scuttlebutt-inc.com, buy our stuff, help us eat! Our personal (more interesting) site is Over a Barrel, which has all of our cosplay stuff, gift art that's been given to us (lots of illustrations from our fics) and some extra fics and links to our drabbles. Mature readers only, please.
