Just archiving it here as well. XD; This is a fake April Fools version of the V7Prologue. While editing the epilogue for V6 where Yu Wo mentioned, in a joking manner, about Grisia gaining bouncing breasts (in which Judgment would kill her for it), I was hit by the sudden thought that this would be a perfect April Fools prank since we were scheduled to post the prologue in April. XD;

This is the fake chapter that resulted. It is much better with the comments and reactions though. XD; I included a continuation here~

BTW, an LSK Round Robin is happening! XD; I'm giggling super hard over what has been written so far! I urge more people to join in (or just to read). XD I've included a link in my stickied post at the top of my journal, since the Round Robin post will eventually be pushed down by my regular posts.

April Fools

Happy April 1st. =P I always enjoy seeing the creative things put up on this day. Google's Pokemon Challenge is really cute! Last year, I got introduced to Brother's Conflict because they had a "Sister's Conflict" version of it, hahaha. It really made me want to get into the series (though the series itself was so-so).



I wrote a joke chapter in place of a release for Prince Revolution. XDDDDD (But as a very soft-hearted person, I tried to make it quite obvious that it's an April Fools' post, and I also included the real chapter along with it~, as my goal isn't to trick people. Our previous masterminds behind past April Fool tricks were much trickier, hahaha, and I think they've already trained everyone to be suspicious of us on April 1st, lol). The comments and reactions to the joke chapter have been hilarious, and it sounds like people had a good laugh too. Thanks for being an awesome sport, everyone. <3 (Though it sounds like some people still haven't found the real chapter yet (the link is included in the fake chapter), and some people think the fake chapter is real...)

I might post the fake chapter here in my journal later for archive purposes. =x (It is highly exaggerated though, hahahaha. If not for April Fools, this is not how I would write a story about Grisia turning into a girl, hahahaha. There would need to be more development before Adair proposes! And Grisia would have less prominent breasts lololol. I just wanted to make it fit Yu Wo's author notes). I'm actually not that fond of Grisia-turns-into-a-girl stories because I like teasing him more about looking like a girl. But I am very much in favor of Grisia having a harem. =P
Apparently, today was a day of updating translations for me. ;) Finally posted the monthly update post over at Prince Revolution and LSK V6C8 (Boy, do I love the chapter title and where the title comes from in the chapter~). I also finished QC for Kimi to Boku V7C29 for Chocobanana Scanlations. It involved a lot of re-cleaning of scans... Some of the pages were too blurry, or the gutter was still visible. I almost gave up. :'D

Welp, there goes my one day vacation. :'D

I really wanted to scanlate Kill No More, but it looks like it has been picked up by EasyGoingScans! Ahhhh, both the novel and the manhua now have takers. Well, probably a good thing, and they're in good hands. (Even though I moped around for quite some time after I found out, and my motivation for my current translations really plummeted, whoops...) Less work for me, haha... but now I don't know what to do with my two copies of volume 1. (Thankfully, I haven't damaged my extra copy to scan it yet.) I can just play in the writing side instead of the translation side then, as I would like to write a KNM fic or two sometime. Maybe. XD;; Truthfully, the reason I joined PR was for fic purposes because I really wanted more people to know later events so I could have more content to work with. :'D (It has also helped me with characterization and detail. Never have I studied a series as closely as I have LSK, haha. Side benefit from having to read chapters at least 3~4 times and pouring over every single sentence.)

But yeah, go read Kill No More. :D Liola is amaaaaazing, and the plot is crazy. XD I need to reread it, as I don't nearly know it as well as LSK.

Review Responses
Some review responses for anon/non-signed in reviews for Long Live the Sun Knight! I'm not too sure if these will be seen, but from what people have been saying, many people seem to check both here and also at ffnet!

Aria: I'm so, so tempted to write more of this verse, but... probably not a smart idea! Too many projects going on already, so best to leave this "complete." But, if this were to continue, it'd be a series of Grisia visiting dream!Lesus each night, not understanding why it's happening, and it doesn't stop until Grisia helps dream!Lesus connect with the rest. We'd see more of Judgment!Roland and how he turned out, and the fic would probably end with Grisia managing to get Lesus, Roland, and Ceo to bond over hair-dyeing in the Judge's Complex. XD; Along the way, we'd see the "good, warm-hearted" faction's response to their Grisia's death, and their reaction to having Lesus become their Sun Knight instead of Grisia. Well damn, now I'm even more tempted to write this. -____-;
someone: Well, there's always the other two candidates! Especially the third candidate!
Feng: What, short? XD; I thought it was quite long for such a weird idea... XD;;; I was aiming for 1k or so, but it turned out to be more than 3k, and I had to wrestle it into a oneshot. Haha, thanks for speaking up! It's always great to hear from people who have been following my works and/or my blog! Talking with me is probably the best way to get me writing because it makes me excited, and when I'm excited, I'm more motivated, aaand the ideas come more easily. XD;; Oh gosh, you're right. With Lesus as the leader of the Holy Temple, it must be sparkling clean! Ceo would have less paperwork... But if he never learned how to wink... Oh dear. And now you've made me want to explore all this, ahhhhh.

November stuff

Congratulations, [livejournal.com profile] absolutehymn007, [personal profile] darkicedragon, [livejournal.com profile] slashed_dream, [livejournal.com profile] nitaspitas, [livejournal.com profile] seta_suzume, [livejournal.com profile] yoshikochan, [livejournal.com profile] oriaon, and [livejournal.com profile] flonnebonne (did I miss anyone?? so many of you finished ♥) for surviving through November and reaching over 50k! Amazing!! *____* And for everyone who attempted NaNo, give yourself a pat on the back. ;) I am just super impressed. ^____^

November really went by in a flash for me. I haven't gotten much writing done. I was quite late with translations this month too (I finally managed to plow through all of PR's chapters for the month last weekend, phew). I also released two chapters of Kimi to Boku over at Chocobanana Scanlations this month, but things are still going at quite a slow pace. Hopefully it'll be picking up now that I've roped someone else into being our task manager. ;) (I am really no good at keeping track of more than one translation group, haha...)

On the game front, I finished Ace Attorney 5! (But not the DLC case yet). I'll blab more about the game after I finish the DLC. :3;; But for now, my thoughts are mostly that it felt really short! I also already knew who the main culprit was going to be (spoiled myself with the artbook), so that took a little of the excitement out of the last case. ^^;; Blackquill really grew on me. I ended up liking him quite a lot. So far, the DLC case has been fun, but I wish I could've played it before Case 4. It would've made more sense chronologically.

On the movie front, I watched Catching Fire and Frozen this month. Both made me cry. Yeah, both of them. T___T Read more... )

On the writing front, I don't think I'm going to get any writing done for my WIPs until I exorcise this plunny I have for the Pope (LSK, yet again). So, yeah. Hopefully I can actually finish writing this "oneshot" (please let it stay a nice, short, oneshot) about the Pope's younger years. It'll be named Fifteen Going on Sixty. Or maybe... Sixty Going on Fifteen... I haven't decided the order yet. XD Or maybe I'll just mush it together and say, "Fifteen Going on Sixty Going on Fifteen." XD;; That'll solve my naming problems...
Another fic translation!
Apuntes del Diario de un Caballero Sagrado
¿Creen conocer a la 38ª Generación de Caballeros Sagrados? Sí, claro. Primer Apunte: "Para Mantener Feliz al Caballero Sol, Atibórralo de Dulces". Segundo Apunte: "Para Salvar la Vista del Caballero Tormenta, Róbale sus Mujeres". Cada capítulo gira alrededor de dos caballeros diferentes.

LSK stuff! \o\ These arrived in two shipments. Very happy I received these before the year ended.



Legend of Sun Knight manhua v4 + poster of Cloud, J.U./Rippleless artbook (she draws doujinshi of LSK and is also the artist for some of the official merchandize), 3 LSK doujinshi, and 3 volumes of Key of the Sunken Moon by Shui Quan. These three volumes are part of the spin-off. I've yet to read the main series though. I hope I end up liking the series!

ramblings about the doujinshi )

translation of a cute Q&A from the back of LSK manhua v4 )

Happy new years everyone. ♥

By the way, the translation of the Half Prince novels has finally been completed, wow! If you've never read 1/2 Prince before, or you think you might give it a try, now is a good time since the whole thing has been completed! :D Translations can be found over here. Cold Fox has awesome screen time in the ending chapters. 8D

(As for Lucathia spending money, I also bought Oresama Teacher v15, Kimi to Boku v12, Junai Labyrinth v7, Akatsuki no Yona v10, and Bokura no Kiseki v7 last week. *watches money go down the drain*)
Happy Halloween, f-list! <3 Today Lucathia is cat!Lucathia. :) Did any of you dress up? (I saw so many cute mini Iron Mans and Hulks today and a mini Thor as well as a mini Captain America, omg, sooo cute). I'm currently in the midst of passing out candy. Non-stop door answering! I'm nearly out of candy. I so miscalculated how many kids there would be! SF Giants parade replay is playing in the background while I pass out candy. :3 Maybe the hype of the Giants winning this year had something to do with how excited everyone currently is... I heard some Gangnam Style was going on during the parade. Hope I see it later. XD

Neko Kreuz finished her LSK Halloween pic! \o\ So adorable! Sun and Judgment with animal ears~.

I managed to edit my signup for [livejournal.com profile] yuletide this morning, and I think I'm mostly satisfied now. Even if I'm not satisfied, signups are closed now, haha. Can't wait to see who I get matched with. I'm super happy that two of the series I nominated that didn't have requests before other than my own for one of them (Sket Dance and Chihayafuru) also have other requests now. :DDD Chihayafuru even has 6 offers! Kind of makes me wish I had requested it after all...

NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow! Which is a few hours away for me! Anyone joining this year? My page is right here. I'd love to be writing buddies. :D I'm hoping to rewrite my 2010 NaNo project (original fiction), though I'll still be trying to update my in progress fanfics, so I am very unsure if I'll make any progress with the original story. For people new to NaNoWriMo, it stands for National Novel Writing Month, where people try to write 50,000 words in the month of November. I'll be aiming to write 50k of anything, original or fanfic! I'll be happy as long as I can hit that word count.

Which means, first thing I need to do is try to finish Dishonest Honesty. Rough drafts are due Nov 2 for [livejournal.com profile] journeystory... I've yet to finish writing the story, ahhhhh. I'm only 1.5k in, OTL. The goal is 10k, but the more important thing is that I haven't gotten past the intro yet, ahaha...

LJ has been timing out horribly for me over the past week. If you want to get in touch with me, email or my plurk is probably a better way to do it!

ETA: Yu Wo is gathering story ideas here. :) She'll pick a few ideas and have readers vote for the top three. She'll be writing them as a Christmas/End-of-the-year present. Translation of the post over at Prince Revolution! under staff blog.
Alright.

Update for [livejournal.com profile] colors_tcg done. Check.
September update posted for Prince Revolution. Check.
Set up Chocobanana Scanlations. Check. (Help, we need more cleaners! I just want to see Kimi to Boku to the end. ♥)

Finally, free time to write some fic... Sometimes I wish I only wrote fic! :3;; Not enough time to do everything! Also, why aren't people responding... /worries at progress. I'm not good at managing so how did I end up managing all these different places... ORZ. Too many fandom responsibilities. XD I feel like I've probably forgotten to do some things too. If I don't answer or do something right away, I tend to forget... but what have I forgotten...


I can't believe [livejournal.com profile] yuletide has started! There's a fandom brainstorming post and a nominations planning post up. Nominations start September 24! I'm not sure what I'll be nominating yet (SKET Dance for sure, but I don't know about my two other fandoms. Perhaps a book fandom? Though recently I've only been reading Taiwanese light novels XD. Hm, I wonder how popular Sword Art Online or Moonlight Sculptor are, as the only non Taiwanese light novels I've been reading, haha. Or perhaps a TW drama...but I doubt anyone has seen the one I'm currently watching, since it hasn't been subbed). I've been browsing the fandom brainstorming post, afraid I wouldn't be able to find a fourth fandom for my requests, or that I wouldn't be able to offer enough fandoms to write, but I think I'll be fine! There have been a few suggestions I wouldn't mind writing or requesting. Magi for one. :D I'll possibly be requesting Magi as my fourth if that nomination does happen! Also considering Fate/Zero if Waver and Rider are the ones that end up being nominated like the person said since they're my favorites too. \o\

short squealing over Noblesse 249 )

I've been thinking I need to write an appreciation post for Arctic Fox. :D Though it would contain spoilers for the remaining 1/2 Prince chapters. Hm. :3
