Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki is Migrating to Miraheze!

Been a while since I made an actual original post, and not sure how many of my original followers are still here (or even care about this kind of thing, considering I'm mainly a politics blog nowadays, but you know, this is basically the only social media platform I have anymore, not counting Discord).

Anyway, for the past few years, I've picked up a CN -> EN fan translating hobby and have been sporadically translating some vocal synth songs, posted at my own Wordpress as well as the Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki. Those who were in the fandom in the 2010s have probably heard of the wiki before, since it was basically the main hub of translation activity back then.

Well, almost fifteen years later, it's still going strong! And, with recent changes in implementation to Fandom policy, the wiki has finally decided to throw off the shackles of Fandom webhosting and move to Miraheze instead. I'll copy-paste the blurb I wrote for other vocal synth wiki discord servers about this:

Hi, so some folks might be aware of this already, but Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki has migrated to a new site on Miraheze. The admins of VLW has written a Google Doc explaining in detail the whys of the migration, if you want to check it out, but the long and short of it is that the new policy on lyrics removal has made our stay on Fandom untenable. Miraheze, in contrast, has agreed to host us and been much more transparent on actual policy. And, since they're on a newer MediaWiki installation with much more freedom in terms of what extensions we can install, we've been able to implement new templates and quality of life improvements on the new wiki! There's still a few kinks to work out on the new wiki, but we're open for editing now! Feel free to spread this message to other relevant servers/websites (with the exception of the old Fandom wiki -- the admins are planning on making an announcement themselves over there, once they're ready). And if you have any further questions, you can join our Discord or comment on our General Discussion page on the new wiki.

I am 100% biased because I helped with the migration (and have been wanting to move off Fandom for ages now), but I think the new site looks great!! And if anyone ever visited the old site and went "wow Fandom sucks, clicking back immediately", now you don't have to do that!

I'm also Emiliers on there -- as I am everywhere -- so feel free to hit me up!

WHAT. i went through life up until now thinking buffy the vampire slayer (tm, copyright) was a show in the tone of Sabrina the Teenage Witch about Buffy, a vampire slayer, who has a cat named spike and goes to highschool or something while secretly slaying vampires as a night job.

@midgeonsmidgeon in many ways spike is a cat. but he is also an evil vampire who eats people and he looks like this

Guys I am so amused. Rewatching random DS9 episodes to help me sleep and Quark mentions the novel "Vulcan Love Slave" and I was thinking "there has GOT to be someone out there who has, even jokingly, turned this into a fic..."

Sure enough...

There were more results than just these two but I don't care to actually read into them to see if they are related to the DS9 mention.
