Hi, this is Planty.

You are well within your rights to dislike Jewel. I'm not disputing that.

However, you are spreading misinformation about what Project Jewel is and what it's about.

Please read this Tumblr post:

But to home in on a few of your concerns:

Jewel has been funded 100% by me from the get-go. I realized the IndieGogo was a bad idea and cancelled it after a day. As well as this, Jewel is 100% free. All of her. I'm not making people pay for an UTAU.

Also, the aim of the project is not to create a Ring replacement and never was. Referring to the Tumblr post I made, it's similar to how Teto and Nana were based on Miku, but still put their own twist on the theme.

Finally, I don't want Jewel on my Vocaloid Wiki page because she's an unrelated project. I appreciate the thought of it, but I must ask that you don't put Jewel on my Wiki page.

As a side note: I understand why you think I'm shady and all that, but I've moved well past that nastiness, and so has the Vocaloid community as a whole. In fact, I work for both Bplats and E-Capsule now, so it's safe to say that any illegality I was involved with has long since disbanded.

And I'm not doing this for a popularity grab or anything: ALOT of people wanted an UTAU tribute to Ring to happen. And I'm providing that, free of charge.

And the fact that you say if it "was anyone else, you'd be fine with it" is the epitomy of hurtful ignorance. You don't know me or anything about me. You just watch me online. You have no idea who I am as a person or what I do.

And as a final note: Why are you bringing this up now, months after all of this has happened? It's just causing needless drama. And sorry to say, but you calling a project I've dropped nearly $500 into, and am distributing for free, BS is actually pretty hurtful.
