Rincchi's Lair

Well, in preparation for my eventual take down of my site, I guess I'll put the content here. Not like there was much of it anyway... actually, all I had was a link to my Kyousuke gallery on Flickr, the dakimakura page, and a gif page with one single gif on it. orz



But isn't it such a lovely gif?

[Welcome message]

Welcome to KyousukeNatsu.me, a shrine dedicated to the absolute perfection that is Natsume Kyousuke. Kyousuke is perfect in every way and therefore he should have a fansite for himself. All hail Kyousuke!

Actually, you'll find other stuff here so it isn't strictly just a Kyousuke shrine. It's somewhat of a general Little Busters site too where I'll put random things that are related to Little Busters. There will be a lot of Kyouriki appreciation here too, because I ship Kyousuke x Riki like crazy.

I am Rincchi and, as you could probably tell, I am a rabid Kyousuke fangirl. I love Natsume Kyousuke very much, so much I just couldn't resist taking advantage of a .me domain name like this. I do kind of have a domain name addiction to be honest, though it's a mild one fortunately. Anyway, Kyousuke deserves it, does he not?

... and that's it. How sad.

I do want to make a Kyouriki page somewhere... and a page for my Little Busters collection... and, well, just general stuff, I guess. Hm. Don't really have anywhere good for it.

I was supposed to be working on a new page for Komari.moe, wasn't I? I should work on that site some more. I'm so lazy with working on websites these days. ;.; Still gotta do an overhaul of Litbus.net's profiles section too.

I made a bunch of Komarin gifs yesterday. Totally a good use of my time. Komarin is the best, aw yeah. Komari and Rin are so lesbian for each other.

I'll also make an anime moments page with so many Komarin moments too, including screencaps and such, yay~

komari.moe is really just going to be one big Komarin lovefest, isn't it. Probably, yeah. It's totally an adorable pairing anyway. Who's going to complain?

I'm surprised the domain lasted this long. What, does nobody consider Komari to be moe? Weird. Oh well, I got the domain now and it's going to be a happy fun website full of love and happiness. Yay, happiness~ <3

Komarin makes me very happy indeed. It should make everyone happy.

If Komarin doesn't make you happy, you have no soul. Sorry.

Okay, so I went and got that domain I've been hankering after, because why not.

Komari.moe is officially up and running.

It's just a draft page for now, there will be more later.

I just kind of, want to make a big section on Komarin, like write up Komarin moments from anime episodes, post adorable Komarin gifs (oh yes, and lots of Komari gifs and stuff) and VN screencaps, and, uh, yeah, stuff like that. Just, a whole lot of stuff on the friendship between Komari and Rin, yay~

A section on Komarin in the VN wouldn't be very big at all, would it. The anime was so much better with that.

I found this site called Gfycat that actually compresses gifs by like, a whole lot, without killing the quality. Amazing. :D

I can make a bunch of Rin gifs too and stick them on Rin-chan.moe and not even worry about space. Hurray.

I'm actually hosting Komari.moe on the free plan on Freehostia so I don't have a lot of space. It's really hard to find a decent service that offers free web hosting with plenty of space and addon domains. x_x (I don't want to pay for two different webhosts D:) Darnit, Namecheap, why did you reduce the number of sites allowed on the Value plan? D:

I suppose URL forwarding could also be an option. Come to think of it, what's the point of addon domains if someone could just forward the URL? I dunno. There's nothing stopping me from making a subdomain on one of my Namecheap hosted domains and directing it there, is there? ... I always have to think of the simplest option last, don't I.

So, I finally got my Little Busters! site up once I was able to transfer the domain. It's on Namecheap and all is good. It's not really complete yet, there's still some things to work on, but there's enough there that I considered it ready to put up.

The site can be found at http://www.litbus.net

Now I just need to think of more things to put on there, I guess. Hmm. I did quite a lot of stuff already for the anime section - synopses for every episode, and also an anime gallery with screencaps from all the episodes. It's about time we had a proper anime gallery because I don't think anyone ever did one for Little Busters.

Well, with the first season, I can understand why... though the first season is looking pretty damn well animated after I've been sitting through episodes of Sailor Moon Crystal. Ugh.

Why can't we have a Bokura no Asa OVA. ;_;

People actually want a Kud Wafter adaptation. Bleh, no thanks. If the only returning members of the Little Busters are Riki and Kud, it's probably a hell of a snorefest. I've read a lot of criticism of it too. Meh, so not interested.

Why did Kud get the spin-off anyway... oh right, because she's moe and very popular. She was the most popular girl until Saya came along.

Kud is adorable as hell and I love her, but her route was just so, ugh. So boring. I couldn't stand it on a replay. It was alright first time around but that was because I was reading everything for the first time so it didn't bother me. On a replay though... yawn.

Unless JC Staff changed things and actually had the other Little Busters around, I really wouldn't want to see a Kud Wafter adaptation at all.

Alright, back to website work! Now that I've finished the anime gallery for litbus.net, think I'll do some work on rin-chan.moe. I've added some new voice clips. I love Rin's voice, she's just so darn cute. Tamiyasu Tomoe is an incredible seiyuu. I prefer her Sasami voice over the anime too.

Considering how little screentime Sasami got in the anime, they probably could have just kept Tamiyasu. It's not like she would have been overworked.

I need to think of some new sections. I was thinking of doing a page for her route, like a summary? Maaaybe add the relevant CGs but they would definitely have to be thumbnails. Considering the layout I chose for the site, I have to keep images on the small side. I really like it though, I came up with the idea all by myself~ (yes, I'm actually proud of it, leave me alone...)

A page for all the CGs with Rin in them too, sure, why not.

Official art? Uh. Well. There's a lot of it. :D; I've got a nice collection of official art on my litbus Tumblr. ... Just direct site viewers to the Rin tag, sure, why not. >_>

Speaking of litbus, it turned a year old a few days ago. Happy belated birthday, litbus! Okay, anyway... what am I even doing with that blog? All I ever do is post official art. Yeah, I like the idea of it being a resource for official art. I have posted some fanart but I'm not really interested in fanart. There's already fylittlebusters and it's not like I intended on competing with it or anything. litbus is more for the official side of things. I posted some music too, but kinda got lazy with it. I was going to put the whole original soundtrack up. Only done the first disc so far. That's all, I promise. I am well aware that the music is available on the iTunes store so I'm not going to upload every little bit of Little Busters music, ever. ... I know I shouldn't be uploading any in the first place. Sssshhh. ^_~

Whoops, I went way off topic, didn't I? Topics are overrated! Hmm, I'm gonna go work on a CG section for Rin's site then. This is the most motivated I've felt in quite a while, yay~

Whoops, I'm such a dummy.

I got the first two opening lines from Little Busters wrong (What Adolescence do you have? Do you remember Childhood?) and was utterly convinced I had it right. I even put them on the banner for my Little Busters site.

Then I noticed the correct lines elsewhere. Whoops. That would have been embarrassing. Imagine if I'd launched the site complete with erroneous lines on its banner. Fixed it now, so it's all good. Thank goodness it was easy to fix...

In future, I must not assume I know everything and check first.

I still have to wait a month before I can do anything with the site. I want to transfer it over to my web hosting. I know I could just point it to the web host, but, eh. I don't even have domain privacy on that crappy domain registrar. x_x Only reason I have a domain there is because I got a .moe domain there, but cancelled it and registered it elsewhere, and they held my money hostage so I had to spend it on something else. This 2 months before transfer thing is kinda dumb. It was registered on July 27th, so I have to wait until 27th September. Eh, it's not really ready to go just yet anyway, still working on it.

I'm working on taking episode screenshots for an anime gallery and also writing up synopses, so I'm going through the first season of the anime right now. I've only ever rewatched it once, I think? Though I've rewatched the trial of courage and sleepover episodes a few times. Those are the best episodes of season 1. Little Busters having fun times together, yay~

I feel like they should have done a whole season just for the common route and actually stuck to the script instead of being so... random and disorganised, I guess. Something like that. Those two episodes I mentioned focus solely on one or two things together and are much more coherent. I'm not sure if I'm making sense. The other common route episodes are kind of like, they're picking pieces from a jigsaw puzzle and clumsily throwing them together and it doesn't really work that well.

It's probably worth mentioning that the sleepover/trial of courage episodes were written by Ayana Yuniko and not Shimada Michiru. Ayana also wrote the Mask the Saito OVA which was also awesome. Still, the writer's not entirely to blame. The anime could have benefited from a better director, and probably someone other than Tonokawa working on script assistance.

Oh well... I'm just going to work on the anime gallery and episodes synopses then the site should be more or less ready to go. I should make a media page too.

So, I went ahead and got rin-chan.moe after a fair amount of deliberating. Unfortunately went with a shitty registrar that didn't have proper Whois privacy at first, little knowing about that flaw. Nuked the domain. Went a couple days without it while I decided what registrar to use instead. Picked another one, and now rin-chan.moe is a fully functioning domain hosted on Namecheap. Hurray~

That crappy registrar kept my money though. Dirtbags. >=/ They turned it into "account credit" which is just a bullshit excuse to hold money hostage. What if I didn't want to use your service anymore, huh? So I spent it on another domain. I'll transfer that one eventually. Gotta wait at least a month.

Designing a website is actually kind of fun even though I suck at it. Thank goodness for this awesome CSS tutorial site. With it, CSS is a breeze. So now I'm working on my Rin fansite.

I might turn kyousukenatsu.me into a Kyousuke shrine while I'm at it. Why the hell not. Kyousuke is perfection and he deserves it.

Been a while since I made character fansites. I haven't done one since I left the Pokémon fandom years ago. Had a bunch of character fansites. I was crazy about making websites. Haven't really had website fever in a while.

So, a fansite for Rin and a fansite for Kyousuke then. As for a generic Little Busters site... eh, later. Let me transfer that domain first then I'll actually do stuff. Maybe. I like this new domain more than littlebusters,eu so it might actually stand a chance.

Hmm, I’d like to make a Little Busters! website. I’m getting that website itch… boy, it’s sure been a while. I can’t even remember the last time I touched a CSS stylesheet. I just like making websites. Websites are fun.

It’s been quiet on the website front lately (actually, I only have one active website left, so yeah…)

I’d like to attempt a wiki too, but the last time I tried that, it was a miserable failure. =/ … The activation email for my account never sent, no matter how many times I tried. Not sure if the problem was Installatron or MediaWiki itself, but in the end, I just gave up. Eh, I don’t think I really need one anyway. The Little Busters wikia’s not that bad, unlike some wikias I’ve seen.

So! Little Busters website, huh? It might be fun. I’ve already got an idea for a domain but I’m not going to say what it is, just in case. What if, like, some kind of domain crawling bot picked it up and registered it? I don’t know if that can happen or not but I won’t take the risk before I’ve registered it myself.

Now I’m just gonna brainstorm for what kinda stuff I’ll put on it~

Characters section, definitely.

I was considering copy pasting the Kyousuke’s One Question – One Answers stuff to a page, but maybe it would be enough to just link to the blog on Tumblr I made for it? It’s http://natsumekyousuke.co.vu by the way. Not all the questions are posted yet, they should be done in a couple of weeks. We’ll see…

I should have categories rather than stuffing links to everything in the sidebar too. Yeah, that would be sensible. Categories go in the sidebar, individual links on the pages themselves. I think that works.

“Anime” for the anime stuff… I’m thinking episode summaries? An episode listing?

“Visual novel” for the VN specific stuff? Hmm, but is there any real reason to keep the anime and VN stuff separate? It might be better to have a general category, I think. Hmm.

“Media” section, definitely. Hmm, that reminds me, I wanted to get the Little Busters! Ecstasy Perfect Guide… there aren’t any scans of it online, like with the first one. I probably shouldn’t upload music, considering it’s on iTunes stores outside of Japan. Yeah, let’s not do that. This isn’t Fuwanovel.

CGs, official art, scans… that can all go there. Actually, I’ve already got a Photobucket account with sprites, CGs and backgrounds ripped from the VN. There sure is a lot of Little Busters! art out there but I’ll gather whatever I can find.

Links. Links are also good.

Manga? Hmm… I dunno what exactly would be in there though. There’s so much Little Busters! manga out there and LNs too and yet there’s only a small handful of the LB! manga available from BookWalker, so it would be a very small section. Yeah, I’m not sure there would be much here so I don’t think I’ll bother with that as a category.

Well, that’s enough brainstorming for now. I’ll think more on this later.
