Abandoned Internet Fiction

[DungeonMaster]

Wow. I can see why she earned her derogatory moniker of "bitch", but I wouldn't call her that. If anything, I'm just upset at her being myopic and ignorant about the States side of animation and how the world works outside of Japan, like how the US regularly censored shit on the daily back in the 1990s and how it didn't want sequential art going beyond children's and "family friendly entertainment". I do like that she clarifies that back then, otaku was not a title to parade around lightly and why it shouldn't.

And she had her art published on the old Capcom website, as well as Koei and Temco's. Fuck, she was a darling. I do have a gut feeling though that she up and quit anime and manga forever and let her site be taken down by the course of time. I certainly can't blame why; otaku in Japan had the gall to try and lolcow her out on 2ch, but as someone who aspires to do his own anime shit and isn't even Japanese, the kind of hecklers and haters that you get comes with the territory, and you need a drive that dares to go beyond the everyday to leave those fuckers in the dust.

To Chikako, you firecracker of a dragon lady. May you have found your paradise, somewhere in this crazy world.

What I like especially is her page on otakus, seeing how the word "Weeaboo" had not been invented yet.

When anime became the latest "thing", a couple of years ago, some Americans in a neighboring college created a band that did only anime songs. I was already sick of anime, but since they needed a Japanese female vocalist and a really close Japanese guy friend begged me to help them (he was the male vocalist), I agreed. I stress it was for my friend's sake.

And this was the first time I saw an American otaku.

He knew no Japanese what so ever, and yet, his house (he was a bank accountant so he had the money) was filled with anime stuff. From garage kits (those resin dolls that are small replicas of anime girls) to CDs to bed covers to silverware to towels to plush dolls, you name it, this guy had it. And he obviously knew more about anime than I did. And I'm talking about a guy that knew nothing about the language!

Since we had rehearsals in a different city, this guy had to drive me to and from my dorm, and all he talked about was anime. And he'd go on regardless of if I knew the series or not. What upsets me the most was he'd talk about the characters and why he liked them, but never on the story.

I learned nothing more about the characters he talked about other than how big their breasts were. And when this guy asked me out, I went off as hard as I ever did. Never cussed so much in my life. That's because I know he asked me out because I was Japanese.

This is could only have happened in her time. Now most sexual predators wouldn't, for fear of being a weeaboo creepster, so these days they have to go for the nonthreatening male feminist angle.

I see that most anime otakus like a character because they look cute/hot/cool, and not how they are "living" in the story. They like the anime/game because they characters are appealing or the machinery is cool, and not because the story is intriguing. And they take one's thought of not liking a character as a personal insult, or they not liking the whole series, and becomes defensive. To me, my friends, is SHALLOW.

They also don't know how to communicate with others. I STRESS THIS HERE BECAUSE IT SEEMS NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW NETIQUETTE AS WELL. Yes, there is an etiquette online, which it seems most people have forgotten just because you can't see the other person with your eyes. I hoped that people would get an idea that there IS a code of etiquette online with the how to email page, but there are people who still have problems. And to those who take it as an offense, I don't know what to do.

Without that page, my website would've been long gone with my temper. I think arguing about something I don't have any say or power over (like story or affairs of games/anime or the character) is totally pointless. I mean, is the world going to change just because some fans discuss it online? That is why I don't want to even get started. Because there is no way you will change my opinion, I will change yours, much less change the anime/game. It's surprising how people don't understand that.

What she says still holds true today. Oh, Chikako. If only you knew how bad it would become.

I have a friend who has access to the US death and immigration records. She was born in 1976 on her bio page. It's not stated exactly when she came to America, but on the website there's anecdotal evidence she attended high school in the nineties, implying she arrived in the eighties.

There are exactly two people called Chikako Ishikawa in the US. The other one was born in Los Angeles and got married to one Thomas Anderson, becoming Chikako Anderson. However, this one was born in Japan, and at a young age moved to Lawrence, Kansas. After leaving a mark in what little there was of internet culture, on BBS boards and art websites, Chikako Ishikawa died in 2009.

Rest in peace.

The Salvation War - a work written by a boomer that obviously frequents /k/, exploring what would happen if the forces of Hell decided to invade more-or-less modern humanity. Spoilers: humans kick ass.
Unfortunately, said boomer either got fucked over by some Ukrainian religious fanatic or simply went full schizo, so only the first two parts were written.

Oh...I think I knew about this one when I was doing some research about stories on such on TVTropes.

You can really feel her hatred and emotions on those words. I can't really blame her, however, the otaku world back then was very...weird, for the lack of better words. It's sad to her she has passed away

Weirder than the weeaboos today would have it. She'd likely find the average denizen of r/animemes to be a tryhard. Considering the fact they think that being into basic bitch tier anime fetishes which are barely shocking in this day and age makes them super unique and speshul, and thus build a whole identity around that, are basically normies who think they're underground counterculturalists for being into ecchi anime. They aren't real weirdos or eccentrics, they're normies in arrested development who are also attention whores, to boot.

It's sad to her she has passed away

Yeah. A lot of shit has been lost. She drew hundreds of pictures and hosted them all on her website, and now only ten survive. Her art style is very of its time, but looks good nonetheless compared to today's tumblrshit.

 

[KID NAMED SCHWARMAPUNK]

The Dornian Heresy is one such example.
It's basically an AU where due to having different backstories, the loyalties of the 18 legions are kinda-sorta switched around. The E-magazine for it was to be divided into two parts. One for 9 Legions each. Part 1 was completed(as shown above) but Part2 beyond the write-ups for The Iron Hands, Dark Angels, Alpha Legion, and a half-finished Salamanders was never completed, due to lost interest and the head author going thru some personal issues.

The Salvation war was shit. The forces of Hell and Heaven were made far too pussy-whipped, and just how the fuck did the POPE excommunicate God so easily?!

 

[Honored guest]

A while back I came across an ongoing story called "The Seeker" It was in my opinion one of, if not the best urban fantasy settings I've come across. It was centered around a poor bastard who gets sacrificed to a demon and from there he has to adjust to his new existence in hell as a demonic slave to his new master. He becomes a unique demon that doesn't have to be summoned to go to earth and so he basically becomes a demonic repo man that has to go out and collect damned souls who refuse to honor their deals with demons. The writing was good, the world building was great, and I liked the authors sense of humor.
The author said that he was old and judging from the jokes in his writing and the references he included he had to be over 50 closer to 60. 10 years ago he posted his last story with occasional updates then about 9 years ago he nuked everything claiming his was going to rewrite his work and went MIA. Hes probably dead now which is a shame because he left off his story just as everything was starting to go to hell with a cult summoning a Lovecraft style being that slowly started to expand and consume heaven, hell, and earth.
The author went by the pseudo name William W. Kelso, if anyone is interested enough to look into it, just be prepared for a lot of smut as most of his stories had at least one sex scene in them.

 

[Bodakciagas]

Anyone remember Todd Allison and the Petunia Violet?
It was a webcomic created by a woman (Nozmo is her username on most sites). It was a pretty fucking solid story, with charming art and compeling characters, but as it always happens with spergs from the "ArT cOmMuNiTy", she took hiatuses that lasted half a year each, and it also didn't help that most of the webcomic hosting sites were closing down one after the other.

But what was more interesting was that she actually had a successful kickstarter to print out pt 1 of the comic. Something she managed to fuck up by getting overwhelmed by the sheer amount of orders, she then took the money and ran presumably to japan, where she continued working as an amateur artist and sometimes winning contests.

She finally came back around september 2019 i think, she updated TAPV some and she's never been heard from again.
She also had a small controversy on twitter being outed to have a sock account that posted porn drawings of gru from despicable me lmfao.
Nowadays she LARPS as a japanese girl on twitter, and her TAPV comic has been lost to the sands of time, with the shutting down of Smackjeeves. There are some dumps online but some of the pages are just outright lost, RIP.

I came across a guy called MaZ on the Monthly Otaku Gaijin while browsing waybackarchive in search of art. He is otherwise known as MazWorkz, MazKat, and Mazguy. His artwork is very indicative of the era. Most of it is so low res you need to squint to see what's going on.

He made another webcomic, which went down a decade ago.

But in the late nineties he also made a bunch of characters for something called Formal Guard Maidens, or FGM, which is rather unfortunate given the first thing that comes up when you search the acronym up. It exists here, and here. This is Mazguy's bio.

There are two pages, on different websites, for the characters. Myc'Linara, Steff, and Meere return no google search results. That's how obscure Maz's work is.

Given the innavigable nature of the website, there is a lot of lost images, which is a real damn tragedy considering how promising FGM could have turned out to be as a manga. If there was a single page of it drawn, not a single one survives today. Looking for Maz's work online is like looking for a ghost.

Given the innavigable nature of web archives, if you want more links to what little FGM info there is out there, i'll gladly trawl through my bookmarks to show you more.

The Salvation war was shit, well-written shit but still shit. The forces of Hell and Heaven were made far too pussy-whipped, and just how the fuck did the POPE excommunicate God so easily?!

Actually the author, Stuart Slade, was writing the third part after finishing his The Big One series, (USA carpet nukes Germany, immortal beings guide the USA through shit presidents and McNamara, same writing style as the Salvation War) unfortunately the 'Rona got him in December 2020, (Obituary) (forum post id'ing that this is him), I liked his work but then I read a lot of shit so YMMV. Also was the cause of a lot of drama on the internets for being a hard right wing boomer on the internet, and more American than most Americans.

RIP you Irascible Bastard

Earth Enforcers, a western manga that obviously takes stylistic cues from Toriyama.

Damned shame to hear he died... Salvation War was damned solid. Now its just damned impossible to find it in a readable form now.

 

[Mr. 305]

This is more so an animated YouTube series but Tacky Animations used to make ms paint anime style videos. This was back when many people wanted to make their very own anime. She ended up being bullied offline after some internet drama. I vividly remember watching some of her videos around 2010-2013 and they really inspired my young self to start drawing. Most of her videos have been scrubbed from the internet and lost to time but a few unlisted/archives remain. She isn't really active anymore and last I heard her father past away in either 2019 or 2020.
She also has her very own Encyclopedia Dramatica page.

Here is episode 1 for her anime called Moth and the man.
I know it's the nostalgia speaking but I still think this is pretty good, you can tell a lot of effort was put into it.

Here is one of her old videos about DeviantArt:

I am really fascinated by how many young creators tried to make their own anime's in the mid 2000s and early 2010s even though all they had was ms paint.

Spoiler: archives

Illivias X I don't know what this even is.

 

[SwordShells]

I remember a long time ago I came across a 4chan thread on /b/ where a guy was explaining this entire world that he created and had been working on since middle school, and attached a link to a google drive full of stuff he had been working on for years. I wonder if that link is still floating around today.

Illivias X I don't know what this even is.

Here's a functional link to the actual story

This dog penis demon encyclopedia technically fits after the author blanked the webpage for some legal issues, feel free to link me to a better thread.
