Congratulations to starhellokittyangel, Wapy and KOKUJINDESU! Oh, lol, I forgot sending congrats to the last
month's winners -- staokmuoryao and studio -- so congrats congrats to everyone, the participants and organizers of
the Monthly Displays!
Wow, I see new members and old members posting here today!
Noooo, Anjhu so full of sarcasm today! Ok, just for you, I hastily rushed this thing out... to inspire everyone who
feels down about the Displays and all... anyway, if we can't increase the number of people voting in the Display,
then maybe we could increase the number of activities we have in the DSC and other parts of MT to increase the whole
"Support Doujinshi" cause, ne? The thing below's really incoherent, but just showing you guys who think
we all seem to be headed someplace bad and to inspire you and yes, what was I talking about? O_O ... oh, and more
surprises for you guys from me to come!
Prototype Model for Diversifying the "Support Doujinshi" Cause in Minitokyo
and Other Spaces and Places: The "Hachimitsu to Kuroubaa/Hachikuro/Kurooba Model"!
Largely inspired while staring/watching the pattern below from the anime "Honey and Clover"

... stare... stare... stare...
Lonely doujinshi artiste..... T_T
Lonely doujinshi supporter... T_T
Lonely Doujinshi Circle... oh, the mundanity of just submitting my artwork, of waiting for comments, of waiting to be
seen, of being ignored, of being molested because of "standards", of endlessly commenting on other
artists' works, of suggesting artwork to be highlighted on the MT frontpage, of sorting thru the doujinshi
galleries and complimenting "high quality" artwork while deleting those that do not pass MT standards... oh,
the mundanity!
Doujinshi marries who?
Doujinshi x ?
The happiness and pains of a commitment! A partnership! A relationship! Love! And all the trimmings! Sex? XD
Possibilities ('should be flavored with a little sweetness [honey] and luck [clover]!)
Doujinshi x ? x ? x ?
Diversification!
Clover-shaped model marries 'MT things'
Doujinshi x wallpapers
Doujinshi x avatars/sigs/banners
Doujinshi x forums/reviews
Doujinshi x vectors
(Note: feel free to marry doujinshi with any other 'MT thing'!)
Clover-shaped model marries 'MT persons'
Doujinshi x muted/restricted/banned members
Doujinshi x moderators/admin
Doujinshi x elite members
Doujinshi x members (all kinds)
(Note: feel free to marry doujinshi with any other 'MT person'!)
Sample Hachikuro Model -- mixing it all up
Project Proposal: (lol, it's kinda on hold, because dianas got unrestricted [which is good!])
An Attempt at Explaining the Crap Above:
"The 'Doujinshi x Muted/Restricted/Banned Members x Category Series
Banners' Project Proposal"
(draft, test version XD)
The Doujinshi Part:
Project volunteers will ask various doujinshi groups and other doujin artists to volunteer some of their
artwork/doujinshi based on various Category Series. Say an artist has a lovely but underappreciated doujinshi of
"Witch Hunter Robin" or "Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne". Project volunteers can seek that artist's
permission to use her/his artwork as a Category Series Banner.
The Category Series Banner Part:
Let's look at http://browse.minitokyo.net/198/gravitation/ . The image that
appears in this page is called the "Category Series Banner".
Project volunteers will propose to the MT moderators that they be allowed to concoct banners for Category Series in MT,
but the twist is that the volunteers will be seeking help from and supporting doujinshi artists by making banners out of
doujinshi.
The Muted/Restricted/Banned Members Part:
We in the Project are encouraging Muted/Restricted/Banned Members to participate in the Project, via the following
ways:
a. volunteer making banners out of doujinshi
-- we do hope that you give your best when concocting the banners; anyway, people here could review the banners
submitted for the project and check if it's really nice and made with love and all, lol...
b. writing Category/Plot Synopses
-- again, Project volunteers will review if the synopses are nice and well and all before submitting to the moderator/s
responsible for maintaining the MT Category Series section...
c. be part of the Project Volunteers core group
-- the Project volunteers will take on more intensive roles, such as reviewing the banners/synopses submitted by
muted/restricted/banned members, suggesting more projects that would help MT and muted/restricted/banned members and
talking with doujinshi artists to encourage them to volunteer their artwork for the banners
The whole point of involving Muted/Restricted/Banned Members Part is to give them a chance to prove that they wish to be
re-granted the same privileges as any other ordinary member. By contributing their time to make banners, synopses and
other projects for the website, the Project Volunteers hope that their sincerity and goodwill shine thru.
