So some may have noticed that it's been a while since my last update. Some explanation is in order.

I was extremely displeased by the shift in policy that banned lolicon (non-explicit images and discussion) from the forums, together with (what I saw as) the suppression of dissent that followed. I saw this as a serious threat to the free exchange of ideas at Fuwanovel, a repudiation of my long-standing crusade to fight moral fanaticism against loli content, and also as an indication that Fuwanovel was trying to distance itself from adult content (similar to Sekai Project)--which was my core interest in visual novels to begin with. I engaged in PM rants with several members of Fuwa leadership, and eventually had a long talk with Tay about my grievances. I finally reached an understanding with Tay: the site policy change would be reviewed at the end of August, and user feedback would be brought to their lawyer with the aim of dialing back the restrictions on lolicon--retaining only the minimum restrictions necessary to protect Fuwanovel legally and commercially.

As a consequence of this fallout, I began looking for options to create and host content independent from Fuwanovel. I decided to create a "true" personal blog on Google Blogger and start migrating content there.
http://sanahtlig.blogspot.com/

Hosting content on sanahtlig.blogspot provides several advantages:

  1. Freedom to host whatever types of content I'd like without impacting my partners (like Fuwanovel)
  2. Greater control over layout and formatting, as well as a more full-featured text editor
  3. Full access to stats and analytics (something I've whined to Fuwazette about in the past)

New articles I've added to sanahtlig.blogspot in the past month:

Articles significantly updated:

Let me know what you think of the current layout. I've put a decent amount of effort into making the site functional and visually appealing.

I still plan to stick around and post on Fuwanovel, and perhaps I'll again ally myself with Fuwanovel should our interests converge once more. As always, I remain open to working with Fuwazette and FuwaReviews. I also continue to work closely with eroge news site LewdGamer.

I'm still considering what to do with this blog. If there's interest, I could post an update here with a link whenever I add an entry to Google Blogger. I may also continue to host posts rooted in the Fuwanovel community (like A commentary on American exceptionalism) here.

Also, I did get Tay's permission to host affiliate links on Fuwanovel. In return, I agreed to donate the first $20 of my annual earnings to Fuwanovel. Expect to see a lot fewer VNDB links from me and more links to store pages instead. Store pages for adult products are usually not-safe-for-work. You have been warned.

I think you still should do updates here. I enjoy reading them and you got a nice view of different topics.. I am bookmarking your new page but I can't guarantee I remember reading it.

Sure, I can post updates here.  My next post will probably be a preview of Oyako Rankan by Alicesoft, Mangagamer's newest partner.
