Edit: This is the new cover design, version 2: A couple of things: Obviously, fonts and the color scheme are the biggest thing to consider here. I chose some I thought fit the cover itself, but if anyone has any other ideas, let me know. Remember that too many fonts will make the magazine cover look ridiculous, so keeping a consistent font might be more beneficial The cat girl image on the title is something I was hoping to replace with art from a member of the community. I would love to have an artist who draws a mascot chibi each month that can in some way be featured on the cover of the magazine. These images would not need to be extremely detailed, and anything quickly drawn up would be fine The background image can easily be replaced each month, and I think having new images would be an awesome idea Moving things around is also pretty simple. Anything seem out of place? Adjustments perhaps Thoughts? This is something I am genuinely serious about, so if anyone has any ideas, let me know what you think.

How about some pizza~

Mfw this won't even affect 95% of the people posting in here anyway

RE: "Ban everything!" Guys, the world is full of hypocrisy. I see murder or graphic violence all the time in hospitals. If you've witnessed it, you know how profoundly messed up it is. Yet for some reason, Western culture is fine with it in entertainment. The same goes for many other social constructs. Life is hypocrisy, and all change in life is ironic to some degree or another. The sexualization of children, for various reasons, is considered wrong by most governments. Child porn, pedophilia, and molestation -- whether real or simulated -- is illegal. Not only is it illegal, it's actively pursued and prosecuted. You may disagree with this move or hate that it had to take place, but the fact is that I have to make the hard decisions to protect the site so that it's here tomorrow, next week, and in five years. Why this issue and not another? Because it came up for the first time since the move and I realized that we're more vulnerable now than in the past. Period.

Jokes aside, If I am to be honest about this whole issue, it's not even about lolicon, nor rule changes. It's about the staff board failing to react appropriately in the most demanding moment. Back then, when the thread appeared, mods should simply change the thread's name and adjust the wording; instead they let it fly like that. This whole thing would never happen otherwise and it's precisely this thing that bugs me and does not even get mentioned anywhere. It's not the end of the world, either. As Tay stated, don't sexualize the lolis, don't bring up the topic of pedophilia, regardless whether it's a joke or not. You're free to talk about lolis/shotas as long as you keep it civil and go along with the common sense, which is, again: DON'T POST LOLI PICS WITH SEXUAL CONTENT. I'm against censorship of any kind and as this might come as a surprise, I'm actually quite into lolis as well. I just never felt a need to post in any of the threads, or share my thoughts; it does not mean I'm entirely fond of actual changes, but not in a single way they restrict people from doing whatever they did. And yes, I don't think this will actually affect the vast majority of Fuwanovel's userbase in any way ￣ー￣

Hi Everyone! Stopping in to give y'all an update on Krill ..He is doing pretty well this week he has his good days and bad. He has had therapy and they are helping so much.They gave him a list of about 50 words to work on at home with me and he can say almost all of them missing only maybe 5 to 10 depending on how his days been.He went to a therapy session by himself with medical transport.He also stayed home a few hours yesterday as i had a Dr appointment and our son was at his grandparents house.When i got home he had cleaned up our sons toys in the livingroom for me :-) He has been able to make his own bowl of cereal for breakfast without making a mess.He has been online and trying to type to friends.He can say "ok" which is better than it was.Tomorrow he is going with his father to sign paper work at the lawyers. Im not sure if i told you about the lawsuit against the first hospital i sent him to the day he had the strokes.They said the catscans showed nothing and his symptoms were a chronic issue from his schizophrenia and sent him home with a blood pressure super high 168/109 and him at that point unable to speak. I sent him to another hospital with a stroke unit later that day and they told me they could see the strokes on those exact same scans and they knew he was having the strokes immediately.So the first hospital missed the 2 hour window to give him a clot busting drug and prevent anymore strokes and cause all this damage he is now dealing with.So we are suing them for malpractice.Please if you have any questions or advise dont hesitate to reply with questions or comments.

Ok also guys remember that killing is also a bad thing and a very complicated topic so no talking about people killing each other in videogames and eroge, FSN is so evil! (Oh and those detective games and stuff like that, too evil to talk about. And what was it... corpse party? - that game has even evil name!). Actually can there be consensual murder? I guess if the person wants to be sacrificed to gods or something. You know since the lolis in the games I play actually like it which I don't think can be said about murdering someone. But then again you cant really ask the murdered person if they liked being killed... unless they turn into a zombie or a demon... that actually has a mind... I'm pretty sure there are some VNs like that as well... I don't even want to know about them! (Don't even remind me the games that involve consensual sex with a slime [yes, its a real tag on VNDB]). But hey, worse crap happens in the world, Apple took down games about American civil war because they have historically correct depiction of confederate flag. History used to be censored in my country too during the soviet era and stuff, its actually funny what my parents were taught at school and the actual history that happened. But yeah, censorship is never good, usually leads into revolutions and stuff so be careful. Or people just leave somewhere without it... that's the easier way I guess. Damn you stalkers, I need to hide my online status xD Yes, people usually link interesting topics to me expecting my opinion xD

Whelp. Confession: This is a stupid rant. Read it if you want to. <3 Ayyyy lmao too serious for me.

Go back to eating snails your French bastard

The fact that it took multiple pages of people saying "lolis aren't being banned" for some to finally understand, gives a fair indication that the attention span of some is not very high.

If lolis are to be banned I believe anything containing rape or murder should also be banned. If everyone is to be so easily offended, then every controversial topic should be banned. Just because us lolicons like 2D doesn't mean we like 3D. I personally HATE 3D kids. Everyone needs to remember THIS IS ART. It's not real. It's fake. Stop getting so offended.

Oh yeah, isn't even 17 illegal in most US states (i think in Washington 17 is fine if I'm not mistaken). So eroge from high school is also taboo.

> Steve viewing the topic Well, that escalated quickly.

Worrying about still pictures? Get with the times, son.

The ideal future is whatever they used to make Nekopara. Just look at it, it's the most beautiful thing ever. Fans of static sprites would probably hate that, but I don't give a damn.

Nice to meet you all! Finally managed to sign up after experiencing some technical difficulties with the forum. I first started to get interested in VNs in 2009 when I was in high school. There weren't many translated, so I was using machine translation to read the stuff I randomly found on vndb. For many people the first VN they read is something well-known like Fate or Cross Channel. For me it was AsuKimi and I thourougly enjoyed it even not knowing japanese and having to deal with AGTH and ATLAS. Back then it was a pain in the neck. I played about 7 VNs and then was distracted by other hobbies. At the very beginning of 2015 I remembered about my old passion and decided to give Cross Channel a go. I was amazed at how much the western VN community has translated since 2009! Now it's a great time to be a part of the community and I feel great knowing that things are getting better and better. I'm Russian but pretty fluent in English if I do say so myself, hehe. Yoroshiku!

I'm hungry for some delicious food. Show me the sexiest food you can find

Lino's next date is going to be fucking intents.

"I can't define porn, but I know it when I see it." - Justice Potter Stewart This is why we moved to the more open moderation system. You know what's really awesome? Common sense. If it looks like a loli, talks like a loli, acts like a loli -- chances are good it's a loli, and if it's sexualized per the above rules, a mod will take it down.

Okay, if I am reading this right, does that mean loli-featuring routes and loli based games are officially banned now? Lock me in a room with Steve if I'm wrong, but lolis are pretty much made to look underage and cute from what I have seen, which mean their discussion etc. are now prohibited. I advocate completely free speech (and let everyone ignore/rekt posts they find atrocious or oblivious, as long as it is not harassing anyone or a group), and thus I'd prefer if people were free to discuss whatever they wanted here, but I understand the reasons you gave and thus I can only appreciate your effort to make Fuwa a better community, Tay. Thanks for always working for the good of the community, the staff!

Can I still post lewd loli vampires? Clearly pedophilia laws don't apply to a century-old spawn of Satan.

then catgirls should be banned too, because it could incentivate zoophillia.

I have no excuses. I don't even care what happens to this thread now. I just wanted to get rid of those clips. Have a good night. And please, don't listen to this seriously, a good deal is random dribble and the rest is me reading a book where half the words you can't even understand. Edit: I should note that this should be the last of my "Random" recordings. While I understand the novelty of having one every once in a while, I feel I should do them differently. More organized, more thought out, more effort. As such, while I will not completely stop with recordings, this is the last unorganized mess for a good while.

Wow, whatta close race b/w Kaguya-sama and his BM servant! Who do you think is going to reach 1,000 Likes and 4,000 posts first?!

We've all had someone "like" one of our posts, but have you ever wondered if anyone has ever, like, like-like "liked" your post? Well, now you can find out thanks to this handy-dandy .csv file I made after a couple of hours of coding and waiting for the programs to hunt down every single like on Fuwanovel. Admittedly this only has about 99% of the likes because some of them are either on hidden boards or from members whose accounts have been deleted, but I think that's good enough. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SLtJc-1Hoq_w9e498zgi9j1f_-8QMyQBPbE4aNK2-Bk/edit?usp=sharing Now, the next step is to analyze and graph the data, but I need to sleep and then go to work, and even once that's done I haven't done any proper data analysis in a couple of years, so if anyone wants to get started without me, feel free. Most likes given Most mutually beneficial relationships Least noticed by their senpai Senpai noticed me (a little) Equivalent exchange

Oh boy oh boy, it's my time to shine. edit: I apologize. The image I posted was uncalled for. Instead, I present to you a perfect representation of America, land of the free:

Until we are influential enough to change laws Steve, we must follow them. Get over it. Fuwanovel is following the law. Hell, Tay had to get a lawyer to protect himself from stuff on the site.

As long as you endorse my love for Fuuko I literally give zero shits.

I'll invite you to read the thread's OP again because it's pretty clear. You can talk about lolis in VNs, you can talk about loli routes. You can even call them cute and express your adoration of them. All of this is still allowed. You cannot post sexualized images of lolis, you cannot debate the merits of pedophilia or other kinds of similar discussions.

Difference is, depictions of fictional violence and genocide dont send people to jail. Porn does. Its the way the world works. Get over it.

I think that idea is kidna similar to the game Hatred that came out recently, its kinda a bad game though but had these controversies because people didn't realize its just a game xD

Spend all of my 150 LG to get her, a lucky draw i must say! And i agree, That Kotori is amazing.

A couple of changes, but overall I wanted to make sure I balanced the white space properly in the layout. I went with a very simplistic design in the end, providing the information that is necessary to the reader and allowing spots for improvement. I hope this is something that addressed the suggestions given in the thread: Thoughts? I can move the placeholder text around as need be. It isn't very centered in this example.

its difficult to post here because my pictures are mostly NSFW.

Starting my job tomorrow today. Confession: The idea of giving guided walks scares the living shit out of me. *sigh* The things I do for money. Luckily, guided walks do not happen often... so there is a slim chance I might be able to get through without ever having to do one! I'll do some weird voodoo magic if that is what it takes to get out of it!

[Nosebleed throws nickels at the plebs below]

Glad to hear it. Thanks for always updating us about it!

Your title contradicts what you said in the thread, but eh... Not worth it. I also don't consider reading anything in parallel to be a good idea.

Just finished playing Growlanser Wayfarer of Time. A good game but there's a lack of 'amazing' moment that is worth mentioning. Will start playing FF Tactics War of the Lions, here's hoping it will be good.

Finally, after going back to the start, I got Mizuki's good end. Which means I finally finished Mizuki's route. Thoughts: This is my main problem as well, honestly. But it's not something so grand.
