Fanime Realm on Neocities!!!

(click on the picture to go onto the website)

Sooooo, as some of you in some circles already known, last month I had been cooking up for a website that functions similarly to the Fanime and Web Series Gallery site. This IS a fairly new site, which is why a lot of "Coming Soon" picket signs on them.

That said, I have put a lot of work into this site so if you can, I recommend checking it out!!

OC-tober Day 7: Color That Represents an OC I kind of didnt do this prompt exactly but mostly did a single color OC. Magical girls are often represented by a single color so I used Alyssa from Odd 4 in her all blue outfit.

calmwrimo intro post.

(posting this kinda late, yet technically on time so lol)

Hello all!

My name is Kyu. I'm a creative writer that has mainly written fanfics up til now, but am starting to focus on scriptwriting my original stories for Black (girl) joy-centered animated series and/or comics! I have a history of doubting my writing ability when it comes to original stories since I have to build the universe & characters from the ground up, so I've never put a great amount of effort into writing them at all.

That will change this month as I join CalmWrimo - a November writing challenge created by @winterandwords that counters the wellknown NaNoWriMo. Instead of writing to meet a goal of 50k words by the end of the month, those who join will set their own self-care, word count, and/or any other goals in relation to writing!

For this challenge, I will focus on scriptwriting the 1st season of my WIP 'Oh, Coffee Boy!'. It's a comedic, slice-of-life series about an introverted Black boy named Akachi Mayberry that shows up to his first day of his first job at the wrong location. Before he can leave, however, he's quickly transferred to this a cosplaying branch of MegDonald's (spelling intentional)! Can Akachi survive the chaos that ensues with his looney co-workers?

It'll be a very shoujo anime-inspired series that I hope brings lots of laughs! 🥰

writing goals

finish scriptwriting 1-3 episodes of 'Oh, Coffee Boy!'

post 4 blog posts, one every Saturday of the month

self-care goals

stretch at least once a day

journal at least once a week

Will try to update my progress every day! Wishing everyone doing NanoWrimo & CalmWrimo this month the best! 🌟

Welcome to the third wave of Fanime Castle's character recruitment! 🏰

The game is going to be a small, story-focused retro role-playing game (PC only) heavily inspired by Fanime Quest, which was also another fanime game published in 2017. Your character can appear in-game as a potentially recruitable side character! How cool is that?

Keep reading this post for the rules.

Rules, Notes & Permissions

Same as last time, the character you submit through the form listed below must be yours in ownership. If you'd like to enter a character made by a different creator, permission is required (+ screenshot as proof when asked for).

The main story has been set in stone, and we're only looking for cameos. Please don't request any of your characters to become central to the plot!

Only send us 3 characters at maximum. The people who can edit this form have the right to delete your newer entries if you spam more than that!

Your character must have appeared in at least 1 published preview of a fanime episode. Works in progress are also acceptable, but do have sufficient proof on hand that you are currently working on said project (scripts, final character designs, storyboards, etc. are good enough).

You retain the rights and ownership of your character. The reason why there's so many questions in the form is that we want to portray their traits in-game as best we can!

Our current team is small and the final game will be FREE so please be patient with us if work takes way too long!

Any applicant who is rude or disrespectful to our staff, have forged false proof of content, or have submitted someone else's character without their permission will be blacklisted.

Please fill up this form to sign your character up!

Applications close at March 1st, 2024 (EST). We will choose over 10 entries.

(Note: Anyone who has sent a character in previous waves may submit new OCs again! This is exclusive to the third wave.)

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us!

ULTIMATE CBS MASTERPOST

(or, a general hub to answer a few questions that my followers who are here for other things that are not my passion projects might be curious about)

recently i've been really pushing hard into working on this revival project, so i thought it would be helpful to have a nice big post with links to all of my stuff inside it!

"what is care bear stars?"

care bear stars was a 2008-2009 fanime created, drawn, and animated by joshua click (known at the time as jcstars5). here's a general synopsis:

Care Bear Stars follows the story of Terry Rogers, who meets a magical anthropomorphic bear named True Heart Bear. She gives him a magical talisman, and with it, he transforms into Tender Heart Bear. Along with the other Care Bear Stars, they work to protect good feelings and love among humankind and fight the evil Professor Coldheart, alongside a rogues gallery of otherworldly foes.

for those who don't know exactly what a fanime is and what it entails, here's a good definition from TVtropes:

Fanime (a portmanteau of “fan” and “anime”) is a type of Web Animation typically created by young amateur artists that originated on YouTube around 2006, a year after the site's launch. ... In the past, many fanime were animesque cartoons based on pre-existing anime, especially Tokyo Mew Mew and other Magical Girl shows. Tracing was also common. Instead of using animation software, creators would usually draw frames in MS Paint or Photoshop and composite them in Windows Movie Maker. ... As fanime was predominately created by very young artists inexperienced in animation in the beginning, it gained a reputation for being bad. ... Following the mainstream popularity of Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls, this type of fanime dominated the community for a long time, but creators attempting to create genuine shows still remain and the community has grown increasingly talented and creative throughout the years.

care bear stars was received pretty well for its time for fanime, receiving a decent amount of fanwork and discussions on websites like deviantArt. though it was far from the only fanime at the time with its premise, its generally considered one of the pillars of first generation fanime alongside series like elemental goddess, and stood out for having full TV length episodes (something that was unheard of at the time for fanime).

the project was cancelled in 2009 after the creator received a cease & desist letter from then (now defunct) owners of the care bear stars franchise, cookie jar group.
