Not with that attitude you aren't.

24 hour stream..... or 8 hour stream, sleep, then pretending to be "awake" for 16 hours

Glad to see you are following through with this idea, and I wish you the best of luck in your project. If I may though, I would like to offer a few suggestions that might help promote your material better. First, in your description of who you are and your idea behind the project, you mention your passion for visual novels and Japanese 2D animation. As a possible donator to your project however, I find it poor taste as a reader to include the fact that you feel the need to explain how you are labeled as being delusional and how people bash you for loving 2D. My suggestion? Don't include this. Be proud of the project you are doing and don't downplay yourself. Talk about your passion for the idea and how you are proud of what you are doing, but don't include something people can look at you negatively for. Second, you talk about how your English grammar might not be the best in the world when creating this story. Don't say that! People don't want to donate money to a project they feel might be "decent" at best. As a possible donator, I want a complete project that I know will be a joy to read. I understand that honesty is important, but if you feel that your grammar might not be the best, find someone as passionate as you to help edit and work on the English with you. If I were to donate $100 for an h-scene as you mention in your rewards tab, I would not be happy knowing I would be taking a gamble based on your statement about the quality of the end product. Finally, you talk about where the funds for the project will go. As a donator, I don't want to pay for your personal life needs such as food and rent, and as such I would remove these things entirely. In many people's case, I want the money I donate to go toward exactly what it is I am paying for: your project. In other words, I am not donating to a charity for Steve, but rather a funding for a project that I am excited to see come to fruition. Again, I understand the intent behind saying this, but it is unnecessary in the end. So long as I believe my money is going toward what I paid for and you complete the things you promise, what you do with the extra funds is none of my concern. Overall, the quality and presentation in the link are useful and you do a good job of explaining things where lingo may be confusing, but these are just some points I feel you can change which will make people more interested in donating is all. Regardless, best of luck.

Hello Fuwanovel, I would like to let you know about a project I've been working on for the past months. I just now finally started a fundraising campaign on indiegogo so if you feel like supporting me, there is that option. It is a light novel in the writing style of visual novels (that's why I chose this section, there is no LN talk forum) about all the mysteries of a particular Broken World. Of course it has some changes since it is in a book format and so the lines can be longer and are not limited to the game window, but the feeling I am aiming for is the same as of a VN. Anyways to read more about the project and all the options to support it, please visit: A PROMISE FROM THE BROKEN WORLD - PROJECT PAGE UPDATE: second part of chapter 1 (following the events of the prologue) is available HERE And one more time as a reminder, only donate to the project if you want to support me. It is after all not only a project for this one novel but also a project to give me a chance to show what I am truly capable of and help me become even better at it. Please also use this topic to ask any questions about me, the project, the style used, the story and the characters or even the funding options. I will do my best to answer them thoroughly while avoiding any spoilers of the key events of the book (at max it will be some very vague hint in a spoiler tag). And lastly... May the love and the lolis be with you~

This is something I drew recently... it was for my novel which I'm writing called "Alleysum" (only on Spanish so far), this illustration was a complete fail. But somehow, it was made into something else. This is the drawing: Talk about bad quality... well, that's my Vita camera... which sucks, yeah. Thus... if anyone wants to see it, this is the final illustration (of course, this one WILL be used) ^Here, have this as an avatar And for those who want some kinda Facebook Cover Another avatar, with more quality: Hope this someday becomes a good meme... oh yeah, this is called "Kill Me Please", somehow I prefer the real drawing, but meh.

To be honest, I think that the changes Ren suggested would help you generally appeal to people. But I value the bluntness and the honesty, so I have to say I like it. When I see a novel project that wants a thousand dollars, I fully expect a large amount to go to the writer, to make it a more feasible task. While I do think that the explanation you wrote in this thread is much better in terms of nicely explaining things, I don't support the obfuscation of information in order to make your project seem like anything other than what it is. I approve of your choices in general as far as your straightforwardness goes. (And to be honest, I'm expecting a lot of it to go to living or 'salary' costs, so it makes you seem very legitimate when you don't try to hide the facts) The one thing I wasnt too sold on was the part about your writing. I think you could make it clearer that you're actually quite proficient with the language. It wasn't too unclear, but you definitely undersell your skills in that regard I downloaded the Prologue and haven't read it yet, but I'm excited to! hehe

Someone got a new one just yesterday. What reason could you possibly have to assume it's not going on anymore?

The main character is an interesting tsukkomi, though. Being a narcissist and all, at least he's a character that's fun to watch, instead of the usual 'blank paper' main character.

Happy Birthday Babiker!!!

I really didn't like Mizuho. He was just too perfect at everything, and that perfection was never earned in the narrative of the story. He's perfect just because. It's really boring and bad writing. At one point he spontaneously becomes a master martial artist able to take down multiple experienced armed thugs in an instant and there is nothing that foreshadows this ability nor is it ever explained after. This goes for everything about him. It's just ridiculous. Despite this all, he's has this passive personality and has zero self confidence. They try to set up some sort of character growth where he becomes more confident throughout the story but I never really felt like that actually happened and instead his lack of confidence just becomes aggravating.

And you usually have some background noise to somehow hide your voice like in the karaoke leaks, we know of your tactics nini.

...

Even the Council of the Grumpy Old Bears is derailing threads now. Sigh. Someone give my resignation to Tay, this job is too hard. Hype for a new Tay episode /o/

So what I'm getting from this is that you'll be doing 3 24-hour streams back-to-back?

How to be really unlucky Step 1: Be me Step 2: Step 3: ??????? Step 4: Step 5

Nothing ever beats Darude Sandstorm, amirite?

I wasn't here when you were active on fuwa, but I wish you luck in your endeavors! It's great that you're in a better place today as losing someone really close to you can fuck someone up for much longer than 4 months if they don't have good people around them to be supportive. Once again, welcome back!

I don't think we've ever talked, but I remember seeing you around before because I liked your avatar/signature. I read your post.. and I'm not really good at knowing what to say. But I want to at least say I hope things get better for you and welcome back. Thank you for sharing. -hugs-

That's basically the thread. "And Guest and Newbie picked..." "'Games and chatter'?" "Random Talk!" "A useless thread?!" "Gueeeest!— huh?" "Gimme 100 shitposts." "It needs shitposts...?"

Alicesoft Update: This update is somewhat unrelated to the translations, but instead is about the series that is being translated. The translators have stated that they will pick these up after they're released though. It might be a little late, but to inform the people who didn't know... Rance 03 is scheduled to be released in 2015, which is next year. At least, that's what I've been hearing. To further support my finds, have the sample artwork. As you can see, the art of 03 is closely related to 01. This means that 03 is again being drawn by the 01 CG artist, which goes by the name of Gyokai if I'm not mistaken. We can then expect a visual feel similar to that of 01, assuming that some of us has already played it. In other related news, in case that you guys haven't heard of it, the Rance series is ending with the 10th game in the main series, Rance X. Here's a sketch of Rance X. The sketch shows Dark Lord Kayblis up against Rance and his party, which has been an anticipated battle for a long time. The 25-year old series will finally end with the 10th installment, ending with it Rance's adventures. The game is slated to be released in 2016, two years from now. Let's hope that it'll be the best out of the games. The official blog post stating the development of these games is here. In case people didn't know, TADA is also planning to remake Little Princess, a sort of prequel to the Rance series. It follows the adventure of Kentarou Ogawa and Kurusu Miki, after being taken by Gi from the 3E2 Dimension, which is modern Japan. Here is a sample artwork. I've been thinking of renaming the thread to something else, since I think I won't be updating solely on translations, but rather on Alicesoft-related things. I wonder...

Welcome back the community, Sora. Sorry to hear of your troubles. I hope to continue to see you around.

Welcome back! I don't think we've talked much but I've certainly seen you around. Have a moe:

Umm...
