Kaguya Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 People do this often with books, so why not? A lot of people lack the motivation to read VNs, or don't have someone to talk to once they finish a fine work. I was thinking of making a "VN reading club" of sorts, where every month we decide on a VN, read it and do several activities related to it, from just random chatter to more organized things, such as rewriting a character of a VN in the universe of another, make guessing games, extend the ending of a VN with what we think would happen next, write reviews, etc. If this actually happens, I could even give make the activities competitions and give some prizes for the winners every month. Oh, taking part in the activities wouldn't be mandatory. I realize a lot of people are busy, and you can skip a month if you feel like it. The important part is motivating everyone to pick up a VN monthly~ So? Do you think it's a good idea? And if so, would you like to join? ~~ VN Club History: November: Ayakashibito December: Forest February: Shikkoku no Sharnoth Gibberish, Eclipsed, Chronopolis and 2 others 5 Quote
Eclipsed Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I'm totally up for this. I hope others will be too~ Quote
Kaguya Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 I'm totally up for this. I hope others will be too~ We don't need too many people for this type of thing, though I'd like at least 6 people for more complex activities. 3 or 4 would be totally fine, though. Of course, I welcome anyone. 10 or more would be amazing <3 Quote
CLuBLioN Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I'm up for this It will be a great motivation to pick up a vn again Quote
GetterEmperor Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Sound like nice way to get back into visual novels so I'm up for it. Edit: Looks like I am going to be backing out. Quote
Zalor Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I think this is a great idea. I think this could also lead to more organized discussions in the Visual Novel Talk sub-forum. However instead of making this a club, why don't we make a visual novel of the month that will be featured on the site. And then dedicate a thread to which ever VN we are reading each month. Quote
Zakamutt Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I'm certainly interested in this. Think a tweet on teh fuwatwitter about it would be good? That said I'd have to finish off what I'm currently reading... otoh, that's motivation in itself w Quote
Yukiru Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Sure, I'll be in, I may skip activities when a title I'm completely not interested in is selected, though. Quote

That said I'd have to finish off what I'm currently reading... otoh, that's motivation in itself w Yep, a tweet on it would be nice. I'll spend one or two weeks with preparations (which will be disguised as time for people to sign up) before we start activities, so why don't you finish the titles you're reading by then?

MiyukiMiya Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I'm back from a hiatus, I guess. Thanks Twitter. Anyway, count me in! Quote
Lambda Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I'd like to join, but I'll probably skip the first month... Too much happening in November that I'm already committed to. It's a very cool concept, and it should be good because I always annoy my friends by talking about vns they aren't even reading lol. Besides, I finish vns way too slow, so that should help my pace... Looking forward to the second vn! Quote
M.Gladstone Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Count me in. Setting a schedule/pace would be great. It saddens me to have backlog. Quote
Clephas Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I'd join for untranslated... if it is translated, probably not, lol. Quote
Heizei_koukousei Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I hope to see this take off, we need more community VN reading. A lot of valuable discussion will be generated if a group all plays the same VN This isnt for me though... So good luck~ Quote
Clephas Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 One problem though... even with translated, what people have and haven't read is going to be pretty disparate. The ones who have been around a while will have read practically everything and the ones who haven't will probably have only read a few major names like Grisaia or FSN... I dunno about the rest of you, but reading a VN all the way through more than twice is actively painful for me... Quote

I know a few tld ones you never gave a try and you'd probably like, at least In the worst case scenario, two people or three will already have read the VN... But I'll have enough activities prepared so that they can have the same amount of fun as the people who haven't read them already. Quote

Depending on how many members are there, would it be possible to make like, two or three different groups? Don't know, maybe it could help avoiding this problem. Quote
Clephas Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I could play I/O in Japanese while you guys play it in English... want to race to see who gets done first? *Clephas smiles* Quote
Eclipsed Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I could play I/O in Japanese while you guys play it in English... want to race to see who gets done first? *Clephas smiles* You'd probably finish first (along with eating the entire universe) before any of us even read a single line Quote
cloudy12 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Seems fun, I'm interested~ There aren't much VN readers I know so it'll be great opportunity for me to branch out If you're hosting one in November, I won't be able to participate because school but I can start afterwards Quote
Zakamutt Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I'd have to bow out from I/O given that I've both read it to 100% and talked about it in some detail with another guy, lol. Well, I could probably still participate in some of the activities. Quote
