It's not easy when it's hard. Things aren't going too well in the city.
Yes, I noticed the spelling error.

@Ragathol
Looking good

I'm stuck... I already got the story but somehow my hand wont do what I wanna do. Always making mistakes in inking

Editing in computer will be the only option for this problem....

Btw, the Nendoroid said this:
"Suggestion for you bro, how about replacing the battle-dolls with Nendoroid. I can spew fire, you know "

DAMN! I'm stuck at the translation (translating the original in spanish to english).

And my heart sunk deep into jealousy and, overall, desperation: we are on January 13th and the final deadline for overseas people is January 16th...

It came way faster than I expected.

Ragathol · « **Reply #63 on:** January 13, 2010, 02:12:08 PM »

pus2meong: Looks like poor ol' Parsee will have a hard time in your story as well.
Just get that hand moving, for as Observer says, there is only a few days left.

I'll tone the last two pages and send them in today.

Observer · « **Reply #64 on:** January 18, 2010, 04:36:57 PM »

Good luck with that. I sent my stuff on late saturday (I was all: "it's still 16th here, it's still 16th here")

By the way, Nakasako put up an uploader... sadly, I guess it's redundant now that I sent everything via megaupload.

http://mapoze.com/php/up/

I just hope I won't have to put up everything there too. If anyone has to upload stuff be sure to place DLkeys (and DELkeys once the book is ready) to each file and mail them to him because that folder has public access and at work we learned to be paranoid regarding public access. :V

Ragathol · « **Reply #65 on:** January 18, 2010, 05:21:33 PM »

I put it on my server and mailed him the link... Well, I guess he has to shout if he wants it any other way.

Too late, I already upload without DL key

But, i just check it if my upload being erased

Re upload then (even my files might already in his computer, but oh well, just following the procedure)

Observer · « **Reply #67 on:** January 19, 2010, 06:09:32 PM »

Ok, got another reply from Nakasako, he got the txt files and the music too.

My brother composed a 10 mins piano suite of doom and more. I've thoroughly heard this thing and it's quite nice.

Ah, I'm liking Ragathol's approach on the comic! On my short story she goes to the other way: the surface. After getting her ass kicked repeated times by a brutal and unrefined red and white miko and her ordinary black & white magician friend, she sends two priest to their deaths, goes to the surface and there she turns into what could be defined as 'EX-Parsee'*... before a certain someone comes to the rescue (and to rescue Parsee from herself, heh). Contains high doses of jealousy and tears.

Bump.

Well, guys, did anyone get the comments mail and such? More enthusiasm people! I'm sick of only checking the CAVE thread... I mean, STG thread. :V Seems the book is marching well. In fact, Nakasako apparently re-arranged the site and now it looks tidier and full of jealousy.

N-Forza · « **Reply #69 on:** February 19, 2010, 12:01:43 AM »

I heard that they didn't get into Reitaisai, so I was wondering how they were going to release this at the convention. I guess it makes sense that my circle is also helping with the distribution. :V

Indeed, that's what (apparently) is going to happen. It's up to you guys to distribute the thing in all the ZUNistic and ZUNtastic powers of the KETUI and EVACaneer Doom D:

Else, well, there is the usual Melonbooks and such but guess it's not the same. Looks like the situation really fits Parsee...

edit: Hey, N-Forza, does this mean it'll be sold here?

・博麗神社例大祭7

か-48ab 「Brand-nyXX」のスペースに私はいます。エロ島です。

　・例大祭合わせでパルスィ合同出ます。

Then Nakasako lists a bunch of booths/people.

Ragathol · « **Reply #71 on:** February 19, 2010, 01:49:58 AM »

Not at Reitaisai, you say... how troublesome. I hope it can sell ok anyway.
Nakasako asked me to use the color illo I had on the site for the book as well, but since it's just a 500x700px oekaki, it's really no good... so I made a new one(see it in the art thread). Was working hard the whole day to finish it, since he said he wanted it the day after, and I mailed it. Three days later I still haven't heard from him. Figures.

N-Forza · « **Reply #72 on:** February 19, 2010, 02:37:38 AM »

Observer: It's going to be sold by at every booth in that list on the website, but the one that you mentioned, Brand-nyXX, is the one that Nakasako himself will be at, although he warns it's in the "porno-island".

"Porno Island"... :V I assume it's where those pervy pillows (or whatever they are) and hentai doujinshi are going to be deployed, right? Actually, scratch that. I'm not sure I want to know...

But good to see he is indeed distributing it by... by overwhelmingly distributing it across booths! (good one!)

Thanks for clearing. Then I can only hope you good luck during Reitaisai!

Ragathol> Don't despair as of yet. Maybe he'll reply during the weekend. I would be ripping my hairs at the amount of people involved and I assume he's doing something close to that. In fact, I think the lack of reply is a bit better. Sometimes, getting a reply is usually a sign that something went wrong and needs fixing... Patience seems to be the key again.

Ragathol · « **Reply #74 on:** February 19, 2010, 12:33:47 PM »

Oh, I'm used to late replies.. It's just that I worked for 9 hours on the picture, until 6 am to finish it in time and now it seems it wasn't so urgent after all, haha. Well, I kind of expected that, but it was still good to finish it in one go.

Ok, so it will be at Reitaisai after all, just not in his own booth?

Observer · « **Reply #75 on:** February 28, 2010, 10:17:20 PM »

Ragathol and everyone, time to be happy! I feel forced to add more enthusiasm and hyper-mode.

Today Nakasako updated the site with a PDF preview (my brother is still cursing at the artist because how well they draw, heh) and a music crossfade. The CD looks kickass!

edit: and, yep, seems he won't have a booth but will be feeding the anthology to a bunch of booths so they can all be envious and spew jealousy all over. :V

Ragathol · « **Reply #76 on:** March 01, 2010, 05:29:54 PM »

Looks like everyone made some extra effort this time, the overall quality looks much higher than the Aki book. And that wasn't too bad to begin with.
Let's hope it sells good.

Yamachanadu · « **Reply #77 on:** March 01, 2010, 06:26:26 PM »

Looks darn nice, I'm looking forward to blackmailing my Japanese friend into buying me a copy.

Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin · « **Reply #78 on:** March 01, 2010, 08:03:28 PM »

You could just ask N-Forza for it.

Yamachanadu · « **Reply #79 on:** March 02, 2010, 12:05:14 AM »

I could, but it wouldn't be nearly as fun as blackmail and arm-twisting. :V

Ragathol · « **Reply #80 on:** March 04, 2010, 02:49:45 PM »

I got this mail from Nakasako today:

"Thank you for sending illust and sorry to be late to reply.
I will use this illust for making 下敷き(a plastic board under paper)

And in the thread in the Gensokyo.org,
Everyone are talking about that I am in erotic-island.
This time, my circle Mapoze has not pass to join.(落選)
So I asked my friends' circles to sell.
And a friend who gave me the ticket of Reitaisai,
was a member of Brand-newXX.
So I am in erotic-island.

About the book, this time there is no box or goods sheet.
So it looks cheaper than Aki but contents are richer than Aki.
And because lighter paper is used for the book,
shipping cost is lower than Aki.
This time we can ship the copies soon after Reitaisai.
We are planning ship 2 copies."

Well, judging from the PDF, the book will look quite awesome anyway. I just hope those translations on the side were just for the PDF... It looked a bit messy.
Who did that roughly inked story with Parsee sulking under the bridge? I kinda liked that style.

Observer · « **Reply #81 on:** March 16, 2010, 01:12:50 AM »

Sooooo... this was put for sale during Reitaisai, right? The erotic tactics probably worked wonders, heh.

And, Ragathol, you got featured at Melonbooks along with Walfas:

http://shop.melonbooks.co.jp/shop/sp_machikado_paru.php

It's also for sale at White Canvas! Thus, international buyers can also get it. So, yup, wise move from Nakasako & co.!

http://www.w-canvas.com/shopping/detail.php?item_id=37651

wwwwwwww! Well, now it's our time to "wait warmly as girls prepare the packages and the cookies for the tea party". Right? :V

Ragathol · « **Reply #82 on:** March 16, 2010, 03:01:47 PM »

Nice nice! I will wait warmly, but I hope it can arrive before April 9, since I'm attending a convention then.

Ragathol · « **Reply #83 on:** April 15, 2010, 12:50:34 PM »

I'm in Tokyo now, and I saw the book at Comic Toranoana today *_* It looks very thick and nice.
I didn't buy it now, but I might later. I should have gotten the package back home as well, but I didn't have time to pick it up before going.

Oh, boy, that's awesome! In fact, go and empty the shelves with doujin shooters. Go get Diadra Empty, Hellsinker & Co. (MESSE-SANOH) Or pick Kitsune's Workshop or other arrangers' goodies?

By the way, it seems Nakasako ran into trouble with White Canvas, watch out with that:

http://mapoze.com/diary/10-04/index.php

It might also be important to let other people know as they are the ones that supposedly carry items overseas.

I was also wondering what was the status on this... If you can get the book please do so, my brother is incredibly annoying regarding how the CD sounds. :V And I wonder how the color pages look (Nakasako mentioned the paper was a bit different compared to the Aki Sisters Project)

Ragathol · « **Reply #85 on:** April 17, 2010, 12:20:11 AM »

I'm not really interested in shooters... I play Touhou mostly for the music and story, so I can make fanart and comics from it.
But I bought some of ZUN's music albums, and I will buy at least SA and maybe some of the other games.

I can't really read much Japanese, so a blog like that is impenetrable for me. And I don't know what White Canvas is either...

The book is kind of expensive, around 2600 yen, but you certainly get your money's worth. It's printed on matte paper, even the color pages, but the print is good, and the colors look nice.
Listening to the CD now, but it's pretty hard to determine the sound quality with these cheapo headphones connected to the built-in-screen speakers... Sounds alright, I guess.
The comics in English are translated in the margin, as we saw in the preview. It means the page coverage is smaller, but it should be easier than having to flip back and forth to the text section.

Observer · « **Reply #86 on:** April 17, 2010, 03:52:18 AM »

White Canvas is one of the several doujinshi stores and he had problems with them. Big ones apparently. Now it seems Nakasako posted a surreal phonecall he had with them.

This is getting heavily weird and I'm wondering if I shouldn't ask N-Forza to perhaps pick one copy of the book just in case... I mean, sooner or later my brother will hang me by the balls if I don't at least show him the book and the CD, which has one of his tracks so he has all the right to do so... I dragged him to the dark corners of Toehoe, heh. :V

Ragathol · « **Reply #87 on:** April 18, 2010, 01:43:29 AM »

Uh? o_o Did he reply or something to you? I got no message at all since the last confirmation when I did the final submission back in late january.

Mmmmmm... Maybe I should ask about this just in case.

Ragathol · « **Reply #89 on:** April 18, 2010, 08:24:33 AM »

No reply, but I got a package that should be it. Didn't have time to pick it up before I went though.

In other news, Akihabara is totally crazy with Touhou now. When I went here last year, it was a lot, but now it's totally over the top.
Comic Toranoana has 4-5 whole floors with Touhou stuff ONLY. It's everywhere. Most of it is uninteresting, of course, but it's so much it's hard to even sample it.
