Youka Nitta
Ah, the mod is back...

... and now I have fic to read! *eyes Geri's writing*

Important Matter 1: Lovely Nitta-lovers, can we scrape enough $ together to buy the comm another half year of paid time? I have 2$ on my PayPal account now, and they don't get us far. Youka-nitta.net is safe and sound www-wise for the next year.
ETA: The generous [info]geri_chan has just gifted the comm a year's paid account! Don't forget to thank her for the sweet Christmas present that benefits us all. Thanks, Geri!

Important Matter 2: Youka Nitta Fanbook. Over at Yamane Ayano @ LJ they've made a nice book for the sensei. I suggest we do the same for Nitta-sensei, also because it might cheer the lady up a notch or two. Maybe use half a year or so to perfect fic, art, manga reports from various countries, fan letters, descriptions of why/what/when we got into Nitta's manga and so on... Suggestions, please - so that those who aren't comfortable with writing can participate as well. We will probably need modding - high quality, which means betas, "art directors", and so on.
Your opinion?

Important Matter 3: Nitta Masterlist. I suppose we want it both on Youka Nitta Project and as a Del.ici.us account, right? We have http://delicious.com/youka_nitta and I can make a blog roll for the web site. That should probably cover our needs, seeing that the fics are so many. Erm... not.

Important Matter 4: I am going to try to make our archive work this weekend. Looking admiringly at (Snupin's) Moonshadow, we need to have The Archive, because it simply matters to the fandom to have things in one place. Efiction, though, so that people can add or take their fics down as they like.

And now I'm going to read fic... mmmm. If you have written something, feel free to point me in direction of said fic. OMG, I have spare time...OMGOMG! [/Katou-ish puppy-bouncing]

I have some holiday cash to spare, and IJ's prices are really reasonable, so I went ahead and gifted the asylum with a year's paid time starting 1/15/09. Consider it my Christmas gift to you all! ^_^

A fanbook sounds like a nice idea to show our support for Nitta-sensei. I was actually thinking about writing a brief fan letter if I could cobble together something comprehensible with my very limited Japanese. (Does anyone know if she can speak/read English?) Art would be nice, since that crosses language barriers, though unfortunately, my artistic ability is zilch.

Hope you enjoy my Kikuchi/Onozuka fic, and you absolutely must read bronze_ribbon's Yuletide Yoshizumi fic!

Oh, you are a darling! Thank you so much! ♥♥♥

Nitta-sensei does speak some English, I don't know how much, though. I suppose we need someone to make additional translation for a fanbook, but we'll see...

I think its impressive if you dare write to her in Japanese, but I am sure it will be appreciated.

I am in the middle of Unexpected Opportunities as we speak. :0) Thanks for the link to Bronze's fic.

How wonderful that you gifted the comm! Thank you geri_chan - very kind and generous of you!

Yay for the site being okay. :D Thank you [info]geri_chan!

A fanbook from our side of the fandom sounds lovely. I'm up for whatever people decide, whatever that may be. :)

I can help with sorting into delicious, if you need help with that. There's not a ton, but it's always good to have a few hands.

I'm thrilled to hear it will be an Efiction account. Sounds perfect. And less stress modly-wise. :)

I don't have any Youka Nitta stuff you haven't read, but I could try, if you prompted me? :D

Oh, if you'd help with Delicious... that would be great. There will be extensive tagging - a Snapelike speciality...

As for the fanbook... I'd love to have you contribute. Nice Carlo/Magira, yes, please! ♥
8th-Jan-2009 08:47 pm
Tags are love! Just let me know which ones to use, and I can do. :D

Carlo/Margira it is. :D I guess I'll have to go find some inspiration. ;D
8th-Jan-2009 09:03 pm
I am just testing now and adding some of Bronze's fics. Heh.
8th-Jan-2009 08:44 pm
Oh, and prompt??? Then we'd like a bit of Carlo/Magira, of course, and a side order of Shu/Shouji, maybe? I am sure Magira and Shu can give Shouji and Carlo some trouble they'd have to be punished severely berated for.
8th-Jan-2009 08:48 pm
Ooooh! Hmm...I was thinking about them, actually. :D Sounds like fun. I'll see what I can come up with.

Hey everyone, you're welcome! It's really my thank-you gift to all of you guys, for running this wonderful comm, and for all of your great fics and discussions. And I consider myself completely paid back by bronze_ribbon's wonderful Hamlet drabble! ^_^
