Just a follow up to the previous post before I get back to game stuff. :3 I'm doing this from memory, so if anyone wants to correct me, feel free to. X3
- Magical Sailor Fuku starts off in the Web 1.0 days as an early pioneer of "TG caption anime images." It's successful for a couple years without major incident.
- The site's founder, Sakura starts to have less time for the site and a figure named "Nina Akemi" becomes popular on the forums, mainly because of her borg-like "Demon Eternals" concept. Nina and Sakura come to blows since Nina doesn't expect the rest of the staff to be able to handle the site in Sakura's absence. Sakura bans Nina for a while.
- Sakura unbans Akemi and leaves for good, leaving other staff to run a revamped version of the site. Nina becomes popular again, reinventing the Eternals as the Aeternalae, making them a bit kinder and gentler, allowing male and child versions instead of just adult anime women, and starts a small, loose religion revolving around her creations. She also makes an MSF spinoff called "Midnight Aurora" that focuses on her particular tastes in TG captions.
- Nina decides to abandon the Aeternalae religion, afraid that it will turn into a Scientology style money making scam. She decides she wants to make money off of the Aeternalae concept as well, though nothing ever comes of this, for better or worse. Nina's sudden embrace of copyright law fueled by financial plans for her creation causes her to shun TG captions and convince the MSF staff that they should stop using preexisting anime art. While plans are made to keep MSF going as a caption free site, the site instead simply dies without captions. Only the forums remain.
- Nina disappears from the internet and it becomes unclear whether later appearances are actually her or someone else imitating her typing style. The forum of MSF continues to get sporadic traffic to this day. The forum spawned two webcomics with an unusual history. Originally they were one TG comic called "High School Changed Me," but a falling out between the creators split it into "MSF High" and "Sins Venials." Both comics run to this day.
- The creators of MSF High created an Aeternalae style race called "The Legion" which were space planet women. The concept has enjoyed a lot of success on deviantart and appears in the canon of the MSF High comic.
