Updates




2009/12/16

I lied about the update, but there's a project.

Alright, everybody, I'm starting a project. I feel like doing something graphic-y for the site, and this one seemed like a good idea.

So there's that artbook inspired by Hetalia that has 74 nations drawn as women by different artists, yes? Well, I've decided I want to use it to make some wallpapers and winamp skins (Does anyone besides me even use that anymore?) of the nation-istas with various backgrounds, hopefully using actual photos from their countries.

And in true Pharaoh Doll fashion, you guys get to vote on who gets picked when. I'll probably do one a week, maybe two depending on the work load involved, and of course the wallpapers will be available in various resolutions.

Four randomly picked nations will be in each vote, so if you don't see yours featured, just wait and it'll be along eventually (As long as it's actually in the book. If you're curious if your nation is in the book, feel free to ask and I'll look.)

Hopefully none of these will turn out looking like ass, since I'm shit-and-a-fucking-brick at Photoshop, but I'm gonna try my best.

So the first vote is up now and will close... Hm. Well, it'll close when I feel like everyone has had a fair chance to vote. So get to voting!

Washing-tan is not amused.

Sorry about the no scans today, I decided to take a break. Anyway, I will be away December the 10th till December the 16th and will not have access to my doujinshi or to fixing the site. So no scans, and pray nothing breaks.

By Request

Added requested doujinshi:

Fushigi Yuugi: Fushigi Ri Yuugi

Gensoumaden Saiyuuki: In Your Geno Type

Hetalia: Cinderella On Saturday

I also added the Hetalia OST to the Omake section. Music files can no longer be linked off-site because of link leeching.

Also Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Americans.

Site related update

Alright, I'm sure you guys noticed the cool new banner in the nav frame. You read the text right, we now have a bit of a sister site in Dark Roses run by the lovely veteran scanner, Miss Zelas (Just celebrated 10 years on the job. Congratulations!). She has a vast offering of fanart and fanfic, as well as HUGE doujinshi section covering a few similar series (Namely Yu-Gi-Oh! and Final Fantasy 7) as well as a bunch of series I don't offer here (Pokemon, Slayers, Shaman King, etc). I highly recommend checking out her site.

PREEMPTIVE STRIKE
Miss Zelas and I have several Yu-Gi-Oh! books in common on our sites. I am well aware of them and did check a few of them myself. (What can I say, I'm a little paranoid now.) There is no doubt in my mind that none of these scans came from my site. I've exchanged emails with Miss Zelas and she's a wonderful lady of honest integrity. So as much as I appreciate those of you who have been kind enough to look after my scans, please please please don't email me calling her a thief. I would really not appreciate that. She's not, and she can prove it (And has! XD You really didn't need to, hun. :3). So let's just get that settled right here before there's even a chance of anything happening.

A little update on the site drama:
I have a feeling this will be over very soon and I will resume scanning Yu-Gi-Oh! doujinshi. Please just hang in there until then.

Updates and Shit

Whew. Took me a few days to recover from the build up of stuff from while I was away.

Update 1: Doujinshi Added, Fixed, and Master List update
Added doujinshi:

Hetalia: Poolside de Tsukamaete
Hetalia: Willst du ein Deutscher sein

Also fixed the download link for:

Hetalia: Best Shot

I have no idea how that managed to not get uploaded with all the others, and a big thank you to the person who emailed me and told me. Very sorry for the inconvenience, guys. It works now.

Master List has been given a giant update. For those of you keeping count, we just passed the 720 mark.

-----

Update 2: Omake section

Added the new Prince of Tennis album, Tezuka Kunimitsu's Impressive, to the omake section.

-----

Update 3: Yu-Gi-Oh!, Requests, and wall o'text

So after a lot of thinking, I'm still not entirely positive what I'm going to do about all this crap. No idea seems solid enough and the one "really good" idea I came up with I ended up not liking. I don't want to have to watermark these things because I find watermarking to be messy, selfish, and insulting to the downloader. I will continue to think on it and hopefully things will resume soon.

Until then, I will be taking limited requests on Yu-Gi-Oh! doujinshi. All new uploads will be added to the site journal. (I was really hoping to get rid of that thing. ¬_¬) Pages will be added to the site as usual.

Meanwhile, I got an interesting email about all of this from a third party requesting that myself and the other person involved take a picture of a small list of doujinshi together with our names and post them as proof. The list was:
Game (Goendama)
One (White Rabbit)
Boku to Maou (Goendama)
Hako Niwa (accede@rabbit)
Till The Last (Leche)
Sabaku no Hitsugi (4th Gauge)
Here's mine. (Till the Last got a little covered. x.x) I like this idea, so I'm taking it and expanding it. Thanks, third party! I propose the following: It's time for her to put up or shut up. I will resume normal requests and uploading when/if she either takes her picture and it is emailed to me, either by her or a third party (What? I... don't actually know where her site is. /swt), or she actually admits to taking the scans. If she actually does take a picture, I will issue a public apology. I'm posting this here so that it's out there and I can be held to it. I can wait. Yes, it's petty, but them's the breaks. This bullshit ends now. It's not fair to anyone involved directly or by proxy.

Grim Announcement

Two things in this announcemet.

First point
I will be leaving for a trip on Friday, gone until October the 7th. There will be no site updates during that time.

Second point
I have been informed by several people of a certain... person (I will not type anything out of being pissed off about this, but let's just say my words to describe her would make a sailor blush) who has been reuploading my Yu-Gi-Oh! doujinshi scans and claiming them as her own. As you all know my policy on reuploading (Let alone flat out stealing), you can imagine how fucking livid I am about this. Talk about flat out disrespect.
Anyway, I've been thinking on it for the last few days and I have yet to decide on my preferred method of preventing this in the future, so until I decide on something all Yu-Gi-Oh! doujinshi requests are on hold. The Yu-Gi-Oh! doujinshi already scanned will remain where it is, since she's already stolen them so what's the point in taking them down. When I return on October the 7th, I will decide what I want to do about the fate of future scans.
I do apologize for this inconvenience, and thank the people who have been kind enough to let me know what's been going on.

So that's that. I'll be updating sometime between now and Friday with a massive new addition of Hetalia scans.

Downtime.

Apologies for the downtime earlier. Seems the server we're hosted on decided to shit itself. Dreamhost was very fast in rebooting it (Dreamhost host support is fucking magical, I'm tellin' ya. If any of yall are looking to host a site, do it there.) and everything should be peachy now.

Again, sorry about that. Not that it was my fault or anything.

By Request

Added requested doujinshi:

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Daisuki na Kimi to
Yu-Gi-Oh!: Millennium Kingdom IX: Spellbound III
Yu-Gi-Oh!: Sabaku no Hitsugi

I've also set up a live journal for the site, also by request. It can be found here. I don't actually know what you guys wanted me to do with it, so... Umm.. Guess I'll update it sometimes with things not appropriate for the site? o_oa This also means I will be accepting personal (non-site related) questions which will be answered there.

And lastly, thank you to Atchi de Leon for correcting me on the circle Bokura Kakuretai. I have no idea how I got that wrong. MULTIPLE TIMES. Thanks for catching it, Atchi-chan. XD

Also updated the Master List.

Also fixed the link for Hetalia: Sekai Saikyou Enji Ritotan. Sigh.

Update

Added a new poll in the navigation bar. I know I said I'd do a weekly poll this week, but I'm still pretty tired and don't want to promise anything. A month of stress will do that to ya.

So anyway, the new poll is just for statistical reasons. I'm curious.

Scans later today, maybe.

Important!

I'm going to be gone starting August the 1st through August the 10th, so there won't be any updates or request filling during that time period. Also obviously there won't be a poll for the next 2 weeks since I won't be here to actually scan and upload it on August the 2nd and August the 9th. Don't worry, I'm not going to disappear for good.

Also due to people unable to take the Circle polls seriously (¬_¬), there will be no Sunday doujinshi this week. Request filling will continue as usual.

A message of thanks.

So we've been around about two months now, and I've noticed something rather strange: Aside from a little mini drama there in the beginning, none of you have been reupping my scans to other sites. As a website owner and scanner, one generally assumes these things are gonna happen, and I really can't express how happy it makes me that those of you who have come to this site have been respecting my requests not to do it.

I'm not entirely sure what I can do to say thank you aside from business as usual, but I just wanted to make it known how much I REALLY appreciate this. I have no intention of throwing a tizzy and closing up shop, but this makes me really want to scan more for all of you.

You guys are sweet. Seriously. Thank you. Don't be shy about requests.
