I've recently made some updates to my projects database. It has also come to my attention that I'm not allowed to give you access to this information unless you join the group. Considering the glitch that stops you from editing files after a while, I may go back to just typing locally and uploading the stuff to my HP, but for the moment you can join freely, even if you don't have a Yahoo! account, and I promise not to spam you.
In terms of the actual updates, one of the most significant is the addition of two more projects: Necropunk and Perfect Score (20/20). The former is the one I mentioned earlier; the latter is my dream of making a better RPG (with a lot of background to the name), generalized for broader appeal. Of course, no one's going to use it unless I get professional marketing or at least become a Web celeb.
I also added another two fields. One is just a brief and rough summary of what each story actually is. The other is the most important theme(s) on which each project is based. Yuri on its own is not specific enough, although it is a part of "Kokuba no Ōji-sama" "modified harem," "alien human society," "counterculture," and at least one other that would be a spoiler. In most cases, I'm trying to do things that I haven't seen before, including challenging or altering common stereotypes and showing societies that are foreign to our viewpoint.
The new Project Necropunk is a shading example of this. The key design strategy (other than cool undead paraphernalia) was to depict a benevolent necromantic society, as I've never seen much of a depiction of undead creation that wasn't evil (with the exception of Abarrach. This gives us perhaps the most alien society of any of these, despite the fact that the people are, by blood, at least half human.
Use of human remains as slaves, trophies, tools, and so on is common in fantasy. However, I want to push this one to the limit and show ethical cannibalism as well. Despite the massive stigma in our society, cannibalism is, under logical morality, a victimless crime; however, like incest, it is often associated with a hideous atrocity, in this case murder. Killing others without just cause is, particularly in this dying land, a felony, but the dead are used to maintain what is left, and the remains of great people are valued highly.
Of course, this also makes the story even more controversial than the others (except maybe AnthraXX)-Even the parts about romantic and/or sexual relationships between blood relatives have never been central to a project. I'm not sure if I'd ever be able to publish it, and I don't know if I'd ever get anyone willing to read it.
By the way, I'm not intending on including anything like necrophilia or vorarephilia. I'm not interested in such things, and they don't serve any real purpose.
