I now know why famous authors retreat to the middle of nowhere to write their next greatest novel:

To eliminate distractions!  Especially from people!

I've been working ...well, attempting to work on my latest fan fiction, planning and organizing it, and I've been distracted nearly every time I sit down to get some writing done! :arg:

No, these famous authors aren't crazy.  They're they smart ones!  The rest of us poor folks trying to write surrounded by constant distractions are the crazy ones!  :'(

Kagome's General Gossip and Discussion / Setting up a wiki
Last post by Senkusha - 10-Apr-2025 (Thu) @ 15:55:39
Just so  you know, setting up a wiki to be linked with SMF is kinda pain in the butt!  But, soon, I'll have it working, and then we'll have an awesome database filled with characters, settings, and all kinds of detailed-goodies!

Well, I guess that fell through.  So, I attempted to make my own again.  I have to say, I'm pretty satisfied with it. ^-^

Tenchi Muyo! / Who are Johnny and Katherine?
Last post by Senkusha - 09-Apr-2025 (Wed) @ 06:55:25
In Magical Project S, Washu calls Ginji as Johnny, while Ginji calls Washu Katherine.  Does anybody happen to know what this refers to?  Like is there a joke I missed somewhere?

Tenchi Muyo! / Sasami Magical Girls Club
Last post by Senkusha - 08-Apr-2025 (Tue) @ 21:06:41
This came out in 2006, and I was excited to watch it, as it featured more magical girls, however, I'm disappointed.  It's very much 3D generated, the script seems to be kiddified, and the first two episodes seem very Americanized.  

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.


Which to me cheapens the thrill of the Magical Girl genre.

But I will give them props, they seem to have nailed the Crazy Mad Scientist persona correctly!

Anyway, what do you think of this series?  I'll probably end up watching both seasons, just because... I'm bored?  :nosweat:

Tenchi Muyo! / Is this a Windows Pun?
Last post by Senkusha - 08-Apr-2025 (Tue) @ 07:11:37
Pretty Sammy, episodes like.. 20+.

This technology is called NT (New Technology)

If memory servers, Magical Project S came out in 1995 or 1996, right about the same Windows NT was Microsoft's newest, biggest, baddest, most awesomest promise to the Computer Industry.  I wonder, is this the same NT?  Did Yōsuke Kuroda and/or Hideyuki Kurata include a fun little pun in this story?  I'll dig a bit deeper, but the World may never know. :unsure:

Tenchi Muyo! / First Appearence of Ryoko?
Last post by Senkusha - 08-Apr-2025 (Tue) @ 07:03:07
This morning, I was poking around the internet, and I stumbled across this fact/opinion: 

QuoteRyoko's first appearance in anime was actually a single frame in episode 126 of Ranma ½.

So, I started digging.  If Wikipedia is correct, then that means that Ryoko, or perhaps an inspiration for Ryoko's appearance is somewhere in Season 7, Episode 7, "Run Away With Me, Ranma!".  However, Wikipedia is a bit confusing here, because I looked a second time, and there's a second column of really high episode numbers, that's NOT in sequential order.  If I'm looking for episode 126 there, then I need to watch Season 6, Episode 11,  "A Cold Day in Furinkan" to try to find this single frame of Ryoko.

Ranma 1/2 was the first anime I watched (beyond Vampire Hunter D, I believe, and I remember watching seasons 1, 2, and 6, before I fell head over heels for Tenchi Muyo!  It's possible that I wouldn't have seen Ryoko's image if she was included in Season 6, because I didn't know about Ryoko while I was obsessed with Ranma 1/2.

Looks like I'm going to have to watch some Ranma! ^-^ Just so I can find a needle in a haystack.  Yup, I'm crazy...  :nosweat:

I know I've seen this referenced in another episode, but in Episode 21

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.


Also because of the events in episodes 19 - 20

The Neverending Story [board] (1D) / Scrivener
Last post by Senkusha - 06-Apr-2025 (Sun) @ 20:25:43
I recently took the plunge and purchased Scrivener.  Just the fact that it can help me organize all my notes, create outlines, AND I can draft my stories in one place is well worth the cost.

So now that I'm working on my first fiction using Scrivener, have you used this software before?  What do you find helpful the most about using it?
