Etsy is an online marketplace for handmade, vintage, and craft items and supplies. On 29 August 2015, Chris created an account to sell his wares, ending a long and turbulent tenure as an eBay seller. Chris spent about one year selling his arts and crafts on eBay, but was never satisfied with the arrangement. eBay frequently took items down, sometimes due to trolls, but more often due to Chris violating the site policy (over and over, in the same way every time). Time will tell if this exact same thing will occur on Etsy (it will).

Announcement

He's probably passing these out at Impulse too.

On 2 September 2015, Chris announced that he was winding down his business on eBay and relocating to Etsy:

I am Moving Shop to etsy.com; it is Definitely an Improvement from eBay. So, come on down and request a Medallion, a Commission, a Photo, or simply Donate towards Book #11 and Beyond!

Listings for Sonichu and Rosechu, and CWC, Amiibo Figures are Coming Soon.

Have a Great Day!

He added:

It is definitely Easier and Better than eBay.

The following day he made a Facebook note announcing the switch, and a week later he revealed a flyer for the shop. True and Honest Fans have since found the flyer taped to a bathroom wall in Charlottesville, and had it mailed to a business in Richmond.[1]

The Shop

Chris's Etsy shop, which opened for business on 2 September, was named "Cwcville Shopping," subheaded "Cwcville Shopping Center." The tagline was, "Christine Weston Chandler's Shop for Items and Creations Straight from the Creator of Sonichu, Rosechu, and the City of Cwcville, Va."

Items

By the time Chris left eBay, he was being allowed to sell only one item at a time per his two accounts, due to him constantly breaking site rules. Etsy provided a fresh start, and allowed him to sell as much as he wanted. The medallions, autographed photos, and commissions appeared immediately, and the Sonichu Amiibo soon followed. For some reason he chose not to offer any more original drawings for sale, probably because commission work was more reliable. The product descriptions were largely copied from those on eBay, including instructions regarding "bidding," even though Etsy is a strictly a buy-it-now market. He got the sample photos for his commissions straight from this very wiki.

Autographed paperback copies of Sonichu 0 and 1 are also for sale. Sonichu 1 became available only after the most recent revisions introducing Ren Skysoar were made, suggesting that someone persuaded him he'd need to make less use of Sega's copyrighted characters.

Eager fans quickly shelled out money for all these items, but what really grabbed the attention of his fanbase were two brand new offerings:

Main article: Sonichu 11

$10.00

Overview

  • Handmade item
  • Materials: paper, pen, marker
  • Ships worldwide from Ruckersville, Virginia


Item Details

As a devoted fan to the Sonichu and Rosechu Comic Book Series, I am certain you do want to see More Pages since I ended up with Creator's Block and forced into Hiatus in 2011. Well, I, Christian, now Christine, Weston Chandler, am getting back into the drawing, writing and coloring recently, and working on a schedule that works around my projects as well. And then, I have my own typical stresses in Life and all.

And if you don't feel like buying a medallion, commission, or figure from me, I offer you a chance to donate towards my own peace of mind to further and better draw and create. $10 for One Full Written, Drawn and Colored Page in my current Book, makes a great difference and everyone wins.

And for each person who donates through here, I will draw and send a single Character Drawing as a sign of gratitude. Requests for drawing content are welcomed, but if no request is made, I shall draw a fresh drawing of Sonichu. **Limit One Drawing Per Person, Per Day.

Thank You for your help.

Not long after listing this, something rather amazing and unprecedented happened. A YouTube reviewer named DStecks gave Chris $1,000 towards the continued production of Sonichu (at 20:30):


Bad Reviews 31: Sonichu 21 (3/3)
Stardate 11 September 2015
Made By DStecks
Subject Matter Sonichu 11
TRUE and HONEST Sonichu Fan Videos

As shown in the video, Chris had this to say in response to this remarkable generosity:

Thank You!!! I tell you what, Not Only will I draw you (you look like Seth Rogan, by the way) and put your name in this and the next book, but, I will make and send you the Set of Eight Amiibo Figures of the main Sonichu Cast (Sonichu, Rosechu, Blake, Wild, Bubbles, Angelica, Punchy, and Magi-Chan), a Sonichu Medallion, AND, the CWC three piece Amiibo Set (me, past and present versions, and Chris Chan Sonichu). This project will take up to eight weeks to get the figures required and put them together. And I will uphold my promise/pledge of a hundred pages from this donation as well.

And from that, while Everyone gets a character drawing, you have given me the idea to do like PBS, and offer a gift for each increment of donation. I will update the listing with these details later today or tomorrow. I need to make and print the back cards for each character (including my three characters) before I can make each Amiibo figure listing, as well as take a few photographs.

Also, here's a little Sonichu Trivia for you to share: free one time bonus for you. Which two characters did Christine Chandler have to repose for their Amiibo Figures (compared to her original prototype set)? Answer: Blake and Punchy Sonichu.

And I will give personal permission to review these figures in a video after you receive them. I will draw (today or tomorrow) and Mail the drawing for you after this weekend.

Again, Thank You so much for your generous donation. Have a Great and Safe Day.

Subsequently, he edited the price to "$10.00+" and the description to include more options:

All completed Past and NEW Pages will be uploaded and Publicly viewable on my Facebook Page, https://www.facebook.com/CwcvilleGuardian, in their respective photo albums. After getting enough funds, I will look further into Paper Self-Publishing and Printing of the books, and shortly after sell them on my shop here.

And for each person who donates through here, I will draw and send a single Character Drawing as a sign of gratitude. Requests for drawing content are welcomed, but if no request is made, I shall draw a fresh drawing of Sonichu. **Limit One Drawing Per Person, Per Day.

And, in the back of the book, I'll put your name there in a dedicated page. You reserve the right to request your name not be listed and remain anonymous.

EVERYONE who Donates gets a Character Drawing and a name in the book's back, each and respectively. But you get more if you Donate More. **ALL Character Drawings will be shipped within two days of Donation.

At the $50.00 Level, you'll get your choice of either a Sonichu Medallion (Or other optional variant or Custom; see Medallion Listing) Or an Autographed Photo of me. Allow up to two weeks for medallion creation.

$100.00 gets you your choice of one of the Sonichu or Rosechu Amiibo Figures, or one of the CWC Amiibo Figures (see their individual listings). Allow up to four weeks for Figure parts being acquired and assembly/creation.

$500.00 gets you a Sonichu Medallion (Or other optional variant or Custom; see Medallion Listing), one Sonichu or Rosechu Amiibo Figure of your choice, AND the three piece set of CWC Amiibo Figures (Pre-2011 Christian Weston Chandler, Chris Chan Sonichu, and Post-2011 Christine Weston Chandler). Allow a Month for Figure parts being acquired and assembly/creation, and you may request an Autographed Photo as well. Depending on the timing of Donation and Page Creation, your name may end up being written into the back(s) of the current book, as well as the following book.

$1,000 gets you the Complete Main Sonichu and Rosechu Amiibo Figure Wave 1 Set (Sonichu, Rosechu, Blake, Wild, Bubbles, Angelica, Punchy and Magi-Chan), the three-piece CWC Amiibo Figure Set (Pre-2011 Christian Weston Chandler, Chris Chan Sonichu, and Post-2011 Christine Weston Chandler), a Sonichu Medallion (Or other optional variant or Custom; see Medallion Listing), and you may request an Autographed Photo as well. Depending on the timing of Donation and Page Creation, your name may end up being written into the back(s) of the current book, as well as the following book, and maybe the one book after that. So, up to three books.

Thank You soo much for your help. Even the little donations help and go a very long way.

**Coupon Codes should NOT be applied to Donations.

A generous donor posted images of her received character drawing and the filthy envelope it came in. She requested an illustration of "Rosechu waving to the viewer and looking cute."[2]

Another donor requested a sketch of a character dressed in lolita fashion. Chris chose Zapina:

Another fan requested a drawing of a fan character who was "a big fan of Sonichu and a proud homosexual male." For absolutely no reason at all, Chris chose a Garfield theme:

"I make money off of the lasagna I eat!"

Yet another fan got a picture of Silvana and Magi-Chan being cute together:

Sonichu seems to be stressed, possibly because Chris drew this the week of his conviction.

Updates

On 19 October, Chris began to make updates to his shop, consisting of captioned photos tagged to particular items.
