i watched fifteen minutes of this on twitch a while ago and loved the aesthetic

sort of wondering what it's like as i've heard people allude to la mulana when talking about it but i'm not really sure how deep the rabbit hole is

it's a simple top-down gameboy-style block puzzler where you go room by room solving puzzles.














that is also a tragic dark fantasy story about a lesbian and her relationship with a princess she acted as retainer to, full of strange hidden mechanics it slowly unfolds to you across a single playthrough with the expectation that you'll go back and utilize them in future playthroughs

I think it's a mixture of things, not the least of which being the real lack of an established market compared to Japan. It doesn't mean that the marketable scene doesn't exist internationally, there have been popular book series that started off as fanfiction before the serial numbers were filed off. But as a culture it doesn't have as much of a foothold in physical media compared to something like zines.

Ive written fanfiction in the past. Hell, I'm writing some now for the first time in like ten years. It can be a good creative outlet, kinda like buying a Lego kit and then modding it with other pieces to make something with your own flair.

Thanks for the input. I did forget about stuff like 50 Shades which was originally Twilight fanfic. I just think the doujin scene is cool.

Speaking of which, does anyone here have a fanfic that they thought had a better/more interesting continuation of a show/manga?

its pretty much official fanfic, but some of the robotech comics arent bad and are mostly compatible with macross if you mentally change the names of everyone. theres a prequel one in particular thats, way better than macross zero

As for negative reactions to western fanfic compared to doujins, I dunno, the reasons are as varied as opinions. If something is good there will be people saying it would be better if it was original. If it's bad then it's indicative of a derivative medium lacking substance. Repeat ad infinitum. Someone who dislikes fanfic will always find a reason to justify their view.

I keep hearing about Dandandan but just haven't committed the time to it. so the follow up question is what manga reader do people use? Dandandan doesn't show up on Viz or Shonen Jump but does on Manga Plus. I honestly can't really tell why there's 3 in the first place but I assume licensing

It's not in the Shonen Jump app due to content, similar to how you can't read Golden Kamuy in the app. So Mangaplus is your only app option, otherwise you can use browser with your Shonen Jump account.

holky gently caress how have I never figured this out before. there's a couple series that just showed up that I've been meaning to read. thank you kind goon :pray:

Yeah it’s something they should really be more upfront about, although idk if doing something like making a Dandadan page on the Jump app and having it tell you “this is free with the SJ subscription but you have to read it on the website” is a gray area for the app rules about explicit content.

I get that they're going to want to stay faithful to the manga but I was also kinda hoping they would change the first chapter's adaptation at least a bit. But based on the end of the trailer, I guess not

also doujins in japan have way more integration with the actual mainstream of manga creation. like plenty of published mangaka still do doujins on the side. like bocchi was one of the biggest anime of 2022 and there were a lot of articles about the original author being swamped at comiket due to bocchi's popularity. meanwhile the 50 shades author basically erased all mention of her ever having made fanfic.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
To a large extent that's because of the publishing industry's hostility towards fanfiction. They see it as both competition and copyright violation, which is pretty dumb tbh.

Endorph

the doujin scene started really early in the post-war manga industry's life, and at first it was largely just authors who had already been published self-publishing original works that were too controversial. it only started working with other properties a bit later. it seems like a case where jp companies unanimously decided it was already too ingrained to try and take down, and it'd be bad PR to try. especially since doujin stuff is both free advertising and a pathway for new properties. like if, say, sony or kadokawa, had judiciously shut down every doujin event ever, they wouldn't have fate/grand order making them billions.

even beyond doujin being more integrated in the Japanese anime/manga industry, it doesn't have the negative stigma attached to it like fanfiction does in the west, despite it essentially being that. to give an example of something I'm familiar with, a lot of people who are fans of the old calvin and hobbes strips really dislike it when you try and portray how they think the former ended up in life, like a popular comic from ten years ago with an adult calvin giving hobbes to his daughter he had with his childhood frenemy and say it's akin to the author pissing on watterson (this is not an exaggeration - i saw this exact accusation on a reddit thread)

The closest acceptable translation is

Eh, I'd say that's because the kind of people who would look down on stuff like fanfiction/doujin would look down on fans of anime/games/etc. in the first place.

I don't engage with any of that stuff on any level but heck with what you're talking about, with how easy it is to find dumb takes on the internet I figure it's not something to fuss over anyways.
