E-mail and Halloween and Oshitari....

Just a friendly reminder that the T&T novels will be taken down tomorrow!

A quick small update on our e-mail addresses, based on the names of our blog.

A little favour... would anyone be able to share with us, oshitari's song - hitomi wo tojite (akapera version) which was the first track (i think) of the regular edition? It would be appreciated if someone could share that with us... of course, we will offer to take in any Dn requests in return! Thanks!!

Minor changes on the site

Some minor changes on the site, including:
- Rush & Dream has been taken down
- Kiriban page has been taken down (only Dn / CP requests will be taken for the kiriban)
- A minor update to the Dn page to make things more friendly/clearer (hopefully)

... posted at 7:20 PM by KYOH.

Change of layout - Requests for Kiriban

The next kiriban will take place at 49 999, 50 000 and 50 001. For these kiriban shots, we will be taking in requests for "epilogues" based on any of the Dns or CP novels on -0. So if there was a particular Dn that you liked, and you wanted to read what ever happened after it (personally i am nagging yura to write epilogues for the henkan dns!), you can request it given that you are one of the lucky people who hit hte kiriban! yay!!

Please also remember that if you have anything to say about -0 or the works, please pop into the BBS or e-mail kyoh/yura on the respective e-mails (for general enquiries please mail kyoh). i am always after feedback; i would love to hear what people have to say about the Dns at -0 and how they compare with other works etc; what it may be lacking or general feedback!

CP NOVELS
The link to the CP novels have been taken down temporarily while we re-renovate the pages over the next few weeks.

The last update for today - HENKAN ODAI - SENGOKU

The last of the today's updates ends with a Sengoku Dn from the Henakn series. Personally loved translating this one. With this i have to say i am buggered... So i've written two origials and translated what, 2 or 3 today? wow... this is just like the good old days at uni *laughs*.

And go to yura as well as she continues to write even this moment.

viva tenipuri, viva sengoku! nama-ashi☆

omg ANOTHER Dn update - Changable Topics - Sanada

Yes, the third update for today with Dns, this time the Sanada Dn to the changable topics. This is an epilogue to Nioh's. Oh... btw... i forgot to mention in the other post... 05 Lu:na in the Gackt series has minor graphic details of things which are probably suited for mature audiences, so please be warned.

Let's see what i can do next while i'm in the mood♪

A big thanks to Yura for writing these changable topics after i requested for "something moving". I hope my translations live up to the standard.

Second Dn Update for today. Gackt Based Dns added - Sengoku & Nioh

On a roll I am. Dns based on the songs of Gackt for Sengoku and Nioh are now up. I personally like the Nioh one better; the Sengoku one didnt turn out as good as i thought it would; probably because of the mood i was in *laughs*.

So after all that i did end up going to the beach for lunch; pleasant it was!!

Dn Update - HENKAN ODAI (Changable Topics) - Nioh

A new section to the Dn themes have been added - Henkan Odai - changable topics. When you write in hiragana, depending on what kanji you put to it, the meaning can change, hence the changable topics. Yura has written the original i have started the translation. This is a Nioh Dn which i personally very much liked. Now that this is up i will continue with my Gackt series for a little bit before i translate more of Yura's.

A fine day it is today; very sunny and starting to get very warm. perfect saturday... to be on the beach and not in front of the computer or working lol. but here i am. Recently read the Echizen-Atobe match that happened way back if the nationals ark and could have murdered that first year when he started shaving atobe's hair.... grrr.....

「休み」をほんのヒトトキ実感した今日このごろ

朝から来週の授業の用意をして午前中が見事つぶれ、午後から今学期に入る前にと大掃除。一段落ついたのは二時ちょい過ぎ・・・へとへとになってソファにごろーんと横になって、スガシカオの「サナギ」と「マーメイド」を聞きながらウトウト気分・・・窓から入るちょっとした日差しと海から流れる涼しい風ー・・・っておいおい、どこの少女漫画のワンシーンだよ！？とか思いながらも気分は仕事が始まる数日前にてやっと「休みモード」突入（おっせー！）。幸せなヒトトキじゃ。さてこれから料理の本でもあさっておきましょーかねぇ。

Over the Resources.

Currently late afternoon and sick of making resources for work - OVER IT!! Tired and over it, especially because im meant to be on holidays. Sometimes i seriously dont know how my co-workers can produce decent work without sacrificing days off... it is a mystery. I have worked by butt off the past two days and quite tired. but the BBS messages were always nice to come back on for a bit of energy. thankyou to everyone who has posted; i will soon put a bbs message back up on the bbs itself. happy birthday to atobe for yesterday too, as well as, happy birthday to Yuriko様 ^-^
It also really really helps when you have such a great caring supportive boss and person to work with, so i have to thank my boss for all the great work she puts in and all the support she gives me all the time. the workplace wouldnt be the same without her.

Dn Update - Jirou, Akaya, Yukimura.

A tripple Dn update. You'll find these under "Gackt" in the Dn main page where you can choose your schools. instead of choosing a school, please choose "Gackt" as a theme. Why? Because these Dns are based on the songs written by THE GACKT *laughs*. The title is the song (with a subtitle in some cases) and the story has lines of his lyrics here and there. I'll be doing something similiar with L'Arc songs once i go through gackt, possibly spiky and chacha.

I had an interesting dream a few nights ago involving me begging Gackt to meet YOU followed by the invasion of masa and chacha soon after... gawd id never been happier in a dream (chacha-!!).

I went sunbaking with a co-worker today to discuss work matters while we were at it (which didnt end up happening to the extent of planning, but anyway), and instead of coming back tanned, ive come back with a few red burns on my snow-white skin lol... i hope it tans soon! i used to tan really quickly after sunbaking but ever since my long-stay trip to hokkaido a few years ago, my body hasnt been the best for tanning.

As i surfed the net (yes, the net, not the waves) today and read some other Dn sites, i realised i am getting OLD lol... Getting too old to write cute Dns me thinks *laughs*.... Though, i do like to put some aspects of realism in my Dns... to show my age? lol. maybe? (especially the darker ones??)

Dn Update - Kaidoh Dn.

After 52 pages in word i have finished three quarters of my work load that i had set myself to do during my holiday (hence, not really a holiday) and finally, with that, i have been able to finish the kaidoh Dn. This is the Kaidoh Dn that i started to write before the one that's already posted but never got to finish it until now. it's a brighter one that the other one, hope you like it. damn kaidoh is a hard character to write for!!
Tenipuri just has that many characters that you can write forever. I would like to write some other Dns based on other series as well though one day... (dont get me wrong, i love my tenipuri!). Ouran Host Club? that would be fun. xxxHolic? that could be scary. writing a dn on holic would probably turn into some semi-real horror experience more than a love-romance Dn lol. perhaps i could base it on those "scary stories" Japanese schools have?
