this is more like a question, but can I ask why are all the posts moderated? I just posted up some Japan x China doujins up...and I gotta say it's sorta inconvenient since I was actually hope to cross post to this community (to help get more members) and to my own journal for reference sake.

[xotsukiyume]

The posts are moderated because I/we think that it would be bad to clog up the community friend pages' with anything but the best material.

Also; we finally decided to actually update the rules (this is entirely our fault as [ex] admins - we're really sorry about the incredibly vague rules beforehand, as well as the lack of set standards/whatnot. We really hope that the new rules will make things a bit clearer! D:). We've been discussing, for quite some time, about how we didn't want the community to just turn into a list of rec's, so this was our solution.

If you're still willing to post/share your doujins (because, naturally, the fandom would adore them), please just add them onto your previous entry. Sorry (again) about the confusion/vagueness with the rules/moderation, we'll try to be more clear later on!

Hi dear old ex-admin-sama~ <3 If you could, would you mind re-submitting the rules. I've sent the new ones to you as a LJ message. Of course, feel free to edit them as you please! please use moderation...! >___<''

I was a bit sad to discover that I cannot post here anymore, even if I've something now in English. And that's rare because I NEVER wrote in English before.
And I've a question: sometimes I draw some random chibis or stupid stuffs like this one->http://neera-pendragon.livejournal.com/90158.html#cutid1
Can I post them here too?

[dreamsofdest1ny]

Um... I don't really understand your question. Are you asking if you can still post here? (In which case, the answer is yes - so long as you read the rules and follow them. There is something VERY SPECIFIC you must do - as stated in the rules - before your membership can be re-approved.)

As for the chibi sketches - sure! But... could you clean them up a bit so they're not as gray? (*personal nitpick*)

[neera_pendragon]

Yep, I was member and I posted here before, but then the community was quite on hiatus and I totally forgot about it. I already read the rules, and before commenting around I want only to understand if what I have to share is actually shareable here.
As a matter of facts, my sketches are sketches in B/W, but if you don't like them like this it's ok.Now I know that I've not to post them here. ^^ Thanks for your answer.

[dreamsofdest1ny]

Oh no! B/W is NEVER a problem! It's just that... some of the sketches that you showed me (the Arthur + Kiku + other characters one, to be specific) looked a little bit blurry... and like you drew them on gray paper (which I think is a fault of the scanner?).

But aside from those minor details, feel free to post sketch dumps here (multiple sketches would be LOVE, because a picture here and a picture there seems cluttery to me...)

Could you create an index link for recommendation posts? Watchers wouldn't be informed of updates to these lists (unless I'm allowed to edit the dates on my entry) if there's one post per person.

[dreamsofdest1ny]

Could you be more specific about the index link? It sounds like a nice idea, but I'm not too sure what you mean. Er... is it a list of recommendation POSTS or a list of actual RECOMMENDATIONS?

And also because it's a community, changing the date of the entry won't affect its order (as far as I've seen, at least, because I've tried this multiple times, with both the RULES list and the KINK list... and failed D:).

...So even if there was an index link for recommendation posts, it wouldn't be able to stay on the front page unless we NEVER POSTED ANYTHING (damn you, livejournal! [JK]). Which would be bad

[dreamsofdest1ny]

LOL; why didn't I think of that!
Thank you~

But... uh... have you any idea if it's supposed to be a list of POSTS or of actual RECOMMENDATIONS? Because until I have that, I'm not really able to make anything...

Fanart archive?

[gisette]

Do you suppose you could make a Fanart archive? I know you like really good art so I thought spamming the main wall with random drawlings would get to you, I suppose. Or maybe just an archive where we could have post dumps (say, a video archive where people could post endless NiChu videos that we could all fangirl over, like MADs and such *w*) for these main topics of fanart and fanfiction? I just thought it could greatly clean up the main wall of posts that aren't soopur speshul, or something... XD

I think we could use...

-a fanart archive
-fanfiction archive for the non-kinky but still NiChu works by members
-video archive for all the NiChu tributes~
-outside link source archive for works not done by group members or works posted on other websites

And maybe we could have links to NiChu groups on other websites, like dA, for instance?

Of course, I'm just putting in my two-cents. XD

Ooh~

[dreamsofdest1ny]

I actually really like that idea, and I think that there are a couple members that have already started up lists/archives/rec's like that.

For example:
xblkdragonx has a DOUJINSHI set (but then again, so does kecen)
sushiyou has a VIDEOS link list (but I create new entries for videos that I make, and blindalchemist has recommended an individual video)
exotification has a ARTWORKS link list (that no one ever checks out...! D:)
xotsukiyume has a FANFICTION archive as well (but it's super-selective)

And we already have a link to the NiChu group on dA; that's on the profile part of the community.

To sum it up: I really like your idea about steamlining the various non-original posts, but I'm not too sure how to make it work fairly. Do you think I should delete everything and then start from scratch? What about deleting the ones that have less recommendations, and then asking the mass!recommendation poster if they would mind tacking on two/three more works? And what if someone thinks a work is great! but other watchers/members disagree

Re: Ooh~

[gisette]

Well, I got the idea when looking at the links section. I think having separate places for fanart, fanfiction, videos, downloads and the like would help organize rather than post things by how much people like something or not

Re: Ooh~

[dreamsofdest1ny]

Well, if you'd like, we'd be happy to link to your NiChu archive on FFN (we have a link to the Nichu fanpage on dA as well... I'm working on making it more noticeable). I think that it's great that you guys already have a list going, and I'm loathe to repeat someone's (already very thorough, by the looks of it!) work.

As for the other things, I think it's a really good idea, but it's finals week next week, so please pardon me if I don't do anything until after; although my grades (except for conceptual engineering *hatehatehate*) are "alright", I still feel like I need to study. But I'll try to have some sort of archive after then, promise! :D
