There's no thread for it, so I figure post any little thing you wrote here, if you want to share it with the class. Don't even have to be too proud of it, get it out there at least. I wrote this just today (hence the "I care about poetry all of a sudden"). Lamentations from a 2D Lover to his Waifu O! I can never see this paragon of purity, powerful princess of my oh, so heavy, heart O! I will never feel that princess ensconced in the castle of my arms, for she will be behind screen for eternity She throws an object that gets closer and closer, until it is in full vision: My, my, the princess through a dart That princess teases me behind the computer screen, and I sit, thinking in nothing but misery What a fool I must be to bring love to the feet of this princess behind the screen Because there is no romantic quest to embark on, there is no villain to be slain Only the hum of the hard drive, working endlessly to provide her to me in a vague dream What a man I am, what a man, to be blessed or to be cursed, to be able feel this unique, bittersweet (sometimes more bitter than sweet) pain O! My love, my love, tell me when we will meet - In the afterlife? After that, perhaps? O! You cannot speak to me, I forget, mind clouded by misery, what shall I do? Message too long.

If you want to write, but have motivational problems, I've thought of a game we can play. All who want to participate should adopt a trip for this thread only. What we will do is first wait for at least 4 total participants, then draw random numbers from 1 to 100. We will take turns starting from the highest draw to the least to suggest a topic to write about, and everyone writes based off of that. It could be a character profile, setting, scene, premise, picture, or anything. I only ask that you don't pick something that you can submit without writing something new, because the whole point of this is to write new things. The submission should be around 2,000 to 10,000 words, but more or less is fine as long as you keep it within reason. Don't stress too much about it. That's just a guideline if you need one. You can enter at any time during the course of the month, just express your interest in this thread, with a trip, so you can be added to the queue of topic selectors. Past the initial four people, everyone else will be added to the queue in order of which they express interest to write. Once we cycle through everyone, we can draw random numbers again to reset the queue. Please don't post your story until exactly one month has passed since the topic was selected, tohno-time. Then, we can take three days to let everyone read and post before picking the next topic. Even if you don't feel confident about your writing, I encourage everyone who is interested to give it a shot. It's a chance for all of us to improve and stay motivated, no matter the level we're at. When we get four people, we can get random numbers from 1 to 100 at http://www.random.org/ on the right-hand side, and I'll update the queue in the OP post.
>>2308 I'm trying to get it published, but chances are very likely (nearly 90%) that I'm going to self-publish. I will give you guys the e-book for free, and the hard copies won't be too expensive.
>>2311 I wonder what ever happened with this.
>>2455 That's me. I still have the story and I can release it to you, if you want. I did end up self-publishing, but that was with another document, which was far shorter.
>>2456 That would be cool to read a book by a brohno, if you don't mind.
>7:29 AM, Friday Winter is approaching. I awoke this morning with a chill that penetrated all the way down to my bones. I had a dream I was running. I don't know why I was running, but I wanted to be the last man standing. It might have meant something. I'm not sharp, I don't know what. It felt like a Saturday. Everyday feels like a Saturday to me. True NEET by day, house guardian by night. I don't have friends or obligations, and very little family to speak of. I probably did once. I don't care to, or remember anymore though. That was another life -- another person. That was the me before anime, before games, before obsession took over. My day consists of guarding the house, eating scrambled eggs, and lurking a website that I accidentally, or rather, luckily stumbled across during one of my many adventures on the internet. It's called Tohno-chan. The guy who started it calls himself Tohno, and Minagi is his waifu. Weird. I'm not one to judge though. I steal Japanese cartoons and pause to masturbate when I get a good angle. That's the life I choose to live. Or rather, that was the life I lived until 7:45 this morning. I jiggled the mouse and awoke my sleeping companion, poised myself like an erect cock at the entrance of the virgin-like tchan, and readied myself mentally to deflower it in one, swift thrust. Something stopped me. There was something I noticed that I could never have noticed until that moment in time on this particular day. Everything changed. I have a mission. And there's not a goddamn thing anyone can do to stop me.
What's your mission, Anon?
I have created a text based computer game that some of you may be interested in. Though the storyline is open to interpretation, it would be especially relevant to those of you with a waifu, hence why I post it here. The game can be found at http://pastebin.com/cYSCtNY2. You will need to install Python to run it. It has been a long time since I have been on this website. I am glad to see that /mai/ and all are still going strong.
>>2448 My apologies; I didn't notice it was including the full stop in the link. This link should work: http://pastebin.com/cYSCtNY2
>>2449 It works now, thank you
wonderful, i like how you coupled text adventure with ascii graphics why dont you build binaries for lazy people?
>>2451 I am glad you like it. The installation instructions have been updated to be more straightforward. I did consider releasing a binary distribution, but decided against it for a few reasons: * You cannot edit the code (to enable/disable cheating, etc.) * If there is a crash, you cannot view the error message, which makes tracing bugs more difficult. * I would prefer for it to be open source. Even so, I haven't ruled out the idea. Please report any bugs or spelling mistakes you encounter. Also, if you have any questions I would be happy to answer them.
There's no universal request thread, just ones made by individual artists years ago. So I decided to make one myself. I've been trying to draw lately but am always lacking any ideas. Post things you'd like to see drawn, anything at all. I'll try to draw everything I think is within my skill level and hopefully other artists will join in as well.
>>2365 Not sure if you still want this, and I'm not >>2348 or >>2349 but it was a cute idea and I couldn't resist. I hope it's okay quality for you.
>>2377 That's neat, nice work. I'm the one who claimed I'd do any cat related requests, but since posting that I got burned out and then my tablet broke. You're 20x better at drawing than me anyway. Glad to see something in this thread getting done.
>>2380 Thanks, man. It really sucks that your tablet is on the fritz. It's been 2 months since this thread opened and it just seemed sad that nothing was happening.
>>2377 very cute, thanks for sharing!
Do any of you have any painters that you like? I want to get into painting, and I just discovered this guy named Joseph Mallord William Turner. http://www.william-turner.org/ I was wondering if any of you had any others you could recommend. Any tips on starting off with painting would be helpful as well, if you wouldn't mind. Thanks
Zdzislaw Beksinski. One of the best converting the images he feels into a canvas.
>>2266 I agree. I really like his photography, too. (Spoiled for 3D vaguely/off-topic)
>>2264 I just found out that Giger died 3 days ago. Damn.
>>2266 i really want to someday make a game or film (or at least something very immersive) stylistically identical to the landscapes that Zdzisław Beksiński made. a decaying, horrific place to visit.
I just created a Vaporwave band, called "Clockmaster Anderson and the Sexy Boiz". http://clockmasterandersonandthesexyboiz.bandcamp.com/ The songs are free; I'm not making any money. Just tell me what you think about it.
>>2312 It is my first one, so some of the songs are going to suck. That is a fact of life. But I'm looking into better audio programs, and I've learned from most of my mistakes, so I'm going to give it a go again.
>>2310 It could be very interesting if it was just a little more melodic. Going straight for glitch is a bit ambitious for a beginner. Also what's up with your bandcamp page?
>>2333 Yeah, I definitely did some things wrong. I believe that I should follow another genre more closely, instead of trying to form my own. But at least I get points for originality. The black guy is the person from "Don't Copy That Floppy". I thought that it would be funny to put him on my page, but I think that I should probably do a redesign.
>>2339 Well, I'll be interested to see you develop.
I want to be creative and draw something, but... I don't know what to draw. I always end up choosing something way too hard. How can I pick something to draw that isn't impossibly hard?
I don't know. I do think one should challenge oneself in some way in order to produce something that causes one's satisfaction.
http://www.rinmarugames.com/game/?game_id=305 Make yourself, make your waifu, make yourself as a girl, rate other people's girls, etc.
Not a half bad little dress up game. Could do with a bit more hair and cloths options.
Better than expected.
I am pretty adorable as an anime gal.
I've been recording some covers lately. I don't really think that I'm the best singer, but I would like to think that I'm not awful, and singing songs that I like feels good. I'll link the account I'm using to upload these below, if anyone wants to check a few out. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRFfOeDIU0PHtInnatGnfRg?feature=watch Sadly, the only thing I have to record with is my phone, which skips and pops horribly, so the recordings might sound more than a little sloppy.
>>2222 I'm horrendous at pronunciation of Japanese, so I kind of had to make those instrumental. >>2220 >>2221 >>2222 t-thanks
Nice voice, the expression was just right
I've just uploaded a bunch of stuff that I've had in a backlog of sorts. I think the best are Anytime, Teenage Dream, and the instrumental No More Mr. Nice Guy.
>>2234 Somewhat embarrassingly, I was sure Teenage Dream was going to be the Katy Perry song, which I thought was going to contrast awesomely with Waiting 'Round to Die. I most enjoyed the Memphis Blues cover, but there are some serious plosive issues with the recording.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/bcd2or7obd3z665/Mutos.rar I hope you like it. It requires RPGMaker 2003. Tell me what you think of it.
I liked it. I had no idea what was going on most of the time, but that seemed intentional and it had a good, weird atmosphere. Playing it through at 4:30 AM was probably the ideal time.
>>2229 Thank you. I think that the music was key to giving it that atmosphere. It is from Killer7.
