PHONE★LINK LOVER (AO3 edition!)

I've decided to re-format the fanbook in plain text and put it on AO3 for free! You can read it online here.

However, if you want to read it as it was intended-- with pretty images and more-- you can still get the 48-page PDF from my itch page for only $2.50 USD!

It includes unique illustrations, fluffy feel-good writing, and plenty of parodies.

"And now, I ask you, dear readers, before life’s twists and turns inevitably drag me away from creating a consistent log schedule… Have you ever been in love? Have you ever felt so truly enamored with another that you find yourself willing to risk your security in the name of it? One must ask these questions from time to time, and as you await my next publication, I encourage you to mull over the thought for yourself. I certainly have. (That, of course, is also merely a jest.)"

Rating: G Fandom: Hypnosis Mic Pairings: Hifum/Doppo, Dice/Gentaro Summary: Doppo, Hifumi, Gentaro, and Dice are all but forced to go on a double date. It's hard not to turn any topic into a competition, but perhaps they can find something they have in common.

Linguistically I just think the way English-speaking fandoms of Japanese series (in which the media concerned has no major official translation+the fandom is small in eng spaces and so has to be more tightly knit with the jpn fandom out of necessity; not, like, BNHA or whatever where you can feasibly have your whole fandom experience in an eng bubble) will take Japanese slang or abbreviations based on English words, and then anglify those, instead of coming up with original English abbreviations, is really really interesting. It's definitely a case where using the jargon to signify your ingroup status is a part of it but I don't think you can explain the whole phenomenon with that? I don't actually know enough about linguistics to make any conclusions fghfhgh, I just know I keep seeing examples of it and it's cool to me!!!!!!!

One of the premier examples of this for me is hypmic. Because "hypmic" is not at all a normal abbreviation of Hypnosis Mic for English. Anytime an english-speaker who's not embedded in the fandom tries to abbreviate it, they almost always land on "hypnomic." (HM would be another natural one, but I think everyone realizes that that's too vague to work.) There's an aspect of that ingroup jargon to it: embedded fans just don't say hypnomic, and it marks users of that abbreviation as outsiders to the fandom. Because "hypmic" is descended from the jpn abberivation ヒプマイ hipumai. The "no" part of hypnosis isn't in the Japanese abbreviation, so it doesn't get transferred to English. Only the syllables already represented in the jpn do. Hence hypmic. The English does add a sound not present in the jpn (the c), but since it's part of the same syllable as the mai (mi), it's a more natural addition based on the jpn. (You do also see "hpmi" used in eng spaces sometimes, more straightforwardly converting each kana to one letter.)

That retaining a final consonant sound isn't necessarily consistent across different examples of this phenomenon, though! It seems it's most likely to be at the end of a word. Just to use another example: ship smushnames where the characters have non-Japanese names. Sticking with hypmic for the sake of it, you see this with Gentaro/Dice. In jpn it's だいげん daigen or げんだい gendai. In eng spaces the latter is almost always spelled "gendice", but the former doesn't really have a standardized version, and you do see both dicegen and daigen used, with maybe daigen being a little more frequent. Hilariously I think that this inconsistency has almost singlehandedly led to "gendice" being used as the "default" version of the ship name in eng spaces, as opposed to jpn spaces where "daigen" is used more frequently. (I mean I guess you could also assume that eng spaces prefer top!gentaro but I usually see people use it in a position-agnostic way, as opposed to jpn fandom where positions are srs bzns and daigen really is more popular than gendai)

AND I COULD LIST MORE EXAMPLES AND THEIR QUIRKS AND MAYBE I WILL LATER BUT I ALSO DON'T HAVE A CONCLUSION. I Just Think It's Neat. someone should do a linguistics degree master's thesis on this
