Don't waste your time reading this if you've already read the thread version~

Hello members of Fuwanovel and welcome to the archived version of my 2000 posts celebration thread, now renamed 'FuwaHistory of Eclipsed' because why not.

Foreward

You might be familiar with me as the daily-avatar-changing-Kotori(LoveLive)-Charlotte(MachineDoll)-Frenda(ToaruIndex) spamming semi-trolling simple-minded person on the forums (I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, but I'm also probably the #3 spammer in terms of how quickly I amassed posts in relation to how old my account is >.>)

If we were to apply the 'HURR DURR LOVE LIVE POSTS DON'T COUNT' I would be down to a measely 1300 posts though, but uhh anyways let's move on; enough about posts!

The following material is material I would've submitted to OriginalRen's Time Capsule 2015 but unfortunately ended up not doing so since I was too lazy to type something up and didn't really have much to say (until now!)

~~~

Screw talking about *myself myself*, I'll just summarize my time here on Fuwanovel since that's probably what's most relevant-ish to you guys >.>

Lurker Days (Mar ~ Sept)

How'd I find Fuwanovel? I honestly have no idea. I do remember playing H-games before visual novels though. Dirty little me

Mostly Illusion titles like Artificial Academy, SchoolMate, etc.

Then eventually around March '14 I stumbled upon Kono Oozora ni Tsubasa wo Hirogete. I was never really into 'reading for pleasure' in the past, but as soon as I booted up KonoSora and was greeted with the lighthearted atmosphere & gorgeous visuals+music I found myself reading for hours and hours. Good stuff.

I began lurking the Fuwaforums specifically for the KonoSora Porting Scenes thread yada yada. The only names I was familiar with at this time were RusAnon and Pabloc >.>

Over the next several months I moved onto other VNs (in order) Little Busters!, Rewrite, Steins;Gate, Chaos;Head, Grisaia no Kajitsu, Planetarian. I mainly just used Fuwanovel for its various walkthroughs and reading the news blog (now FuwaZette). Consequently, Zakamutt is whom I forever consider the 'face' of Fuwanovel (most recognized member for me) simply because his name was the only one I knew during my six months lurker time on Fuwa.

Newbie Days (Sept ~ Oct)

Yada yada, real life, eventually September came around and I had an epiphany: why not join the Fuwaforums so I can actually talk about the VNs that I am playing >.> (Cuz like, yeah, I burned through Rewrite, Little Busters!, Grisaia no Kajitsu, Steins;Gate all without getting to talk with / vent to / nerd out with anybody about them. Mhmmm. All I did to satisfy my discussion urges was read VN reviews around the net and type up my own thoughts for the VNs.)

Some of you may be familiar with my 'Misc. Thoughts/Ramblings(Spoilers)' that I do on 'What are you playing' and 'What are you watching' threads when active. Yup. That's why I signed up for the forums- to have an outlet for my thoughts on these things. Good stuff, good stuff. Oh, but I have no plans to do full on reviews and whatnot. That's way out of my league xD

Anyways, rewind a bit. Starting off on Fuwanovel (this would be my first time joining an online forum community!) I was pretty excited. I browsed some other recently made intro threads so I could get an idea of what to say for mine (nothing special really) and voila, minutes later I get several of replies of warm welcomes! Felt pretty good so that's why I try to greet any and all future newcomers to this site, even if my welcomings may sound a bit half-assed at times #gottafarmposts

My unofficial rival in welcoming everybody is Life btw.

Lalala I only averaged like < 5 posts a day early on. Not much to say, not much to do. There was one major factor that kept me coming back though: OriginalRen.

Member Days (Oct ~ Dec)

That's right. OriginalRen. Those of you that dislike me for whatever reason can go ahead and blame Run for all your problems~ Haha but yeah, I was genuinely interested in his Battle of Guilds game. Since I was new I wasn't particularly attached to the community yet and so Ren's games were the icebreaker I needed to get me to come to the forums more often and get to know people little by little and eventually integrate myself into the community.

I even added my first friend from the BoGs game: Kurisu-chan <3. Yup, our ever loveable Celeb Seventeen Zombie Kuris-tina was my first 'official' friend on Fuwanovel!

Ceris was also added into our Tsundere group and we had plenty of fun days uh... waiting... and waiting.... for opponents to make their move and Ren to update boards >.> but overall I'd say it was pretty fun to play. Although the Battle of Guilds and FuwaConspiracy games ended up dying soo Tsunderes win by default, and by the way, I was the killer jk... (?)

• LoveLive: Thanks to meeting Ceris from the BoGs and checking out his profile I saw he was a massive fan of Love Live and decided to pick up the game + anime. Good choice huh >.> spend lots of $$$ farming digital cards. I also joined the Love Live thread and got to meet the wonderful Love Live crew (WTF cloudy12 is female!@#) while building a reputation farming posts as the Love Live Professor (nicknamed by Ezeefreak) Love y'all
  
• Goal for 500 posts: Not gonna lie, I milked the Love Live thread for the 500 posts so I could change my user title. I also created walkthroughs just so I could pester the mods to change my title prior to farming up 500 posts hehe. Walkthroughs include: Dracu-Riot!, Chaos;Head, Yoake Mae whatever the name is, and Noble Works(apologies for butting heads with Fiddle-senpai a bit over how to layout the choices in the walkthrough)
  
• Moderator Appreciation Day (3 October 2014): I saw Kaguya (now Marie) talking to madvanced about 'recruitment' or whatever and casually asked to be recruited to almighty Marie-senpai-chan-sama's Fuwanovel Army. I was quickly able to learn how to get on Marie-sama's good side and now look where I am *Flashes Board Mod badge*. Let's see how long I can last >.>
  
• OriginalRen's TeamSpeak3: Ren eventually started up the Love Live concert thread and so I casually signed up for that as well, and that's when my month and a half long identity as Minami Kotori started. We had a 'slumber party', played Draw Something (#get rekt), etc. etc. check the Amazing TeamSpeak Quotes for more shenanigans that went on behind the scenes!
  

Glory Days (Jan ~ Present)

A new year, a new semester, a new other things going on in my life, and a new Fuwanovel.

Let me do a quick New Year's Resolution Thank Everybody thingy:

• Nekopara is the best VN I read in 2015 (cuz it's the only one)
  
• AbyssalMonkey for always being so helpful in the What Anime are you Watching thread
  
• Ceris & Nosebleed for being some of my *favorite* people to interact with.
  
• crunchytaco for always having interesting stories in the FuwaConfessions thread
  
• Ezeefreak for being my lighthearted-slice of life-partner in crime(even though you hate Grisaia no Kajitsu) and for all of your generous Love Live lotteries
  
• Flutterz for always (cheerfully?) responding to and helping me out on my various random PMs. Also, for recommending Shinsekai Yori in Anime Club. That was good stuff. Oh but sorry for my closeminded hatred towards Rats. I reread your post sometime later and can now agree with everything you said~
  
• KosakiFag for being my inspiration to spam more hehe.
  
• OriginalRen for all of his efforts as a creator, performer, producer, and entertainer! You rock!
  
• Marie for being best mod, senpai, sensei, mentor etc. (that is, until I start officially doing real 'board mod' work for him >.>)
  
• solidbatman for coming up with outright hilarious things from time to time ie. OriginalRen: An Original Biography; Professor Rooke.
  
• Sorry TexasDice for not picking up Kira*Kira. I just haven't been in the mood to read VNs this year :< but thanks for tuning in on my Hoshimemo ramblings even though I disappointed you for my best girl choice >.>, and keep up the Dice puns!
  
• Tiagofvarela for the funtimes we had together discussing (agreeing) about Symphonic Rain over Winter Break last December + random PM shenanigans
  
• Zakamutt I already wrote you something on February 14 must I do it again >.> /// Also thanks to another special someone who wrote something to me on that day
  
• All other people that I failed to mention who are able to not be butthurt about it. It's hard coming up with stuff to say about everybody let alone online strangers xD
  
• All Love Live thread members for being awesome! Let's try not to spam too much
  
• All Fuwanovel staff for putting up with my random bouts of temper tantrums, misc. concerns+suggestions, and silly mishaps but most of all creating this lovely community for everybody!
  

Closing

Onto Fuwanovel shenanigans for the year 2015... Okay honestly I don't remember anything noteworthy that happened on Fuwanovel. Oh right, it's cuz I spent most of my free time watching anime. I started spamming anime mid-January! Maybe that's why I stopped VNs... so much easier to just sit back and watch instead of read

Yada yada site changes, I became a board mod, yada yada...and now here we are with me posting this piece of shiz that I've been working on for days in preparation for 2000 posts, but finished today and was too impatient to wait for the actual 2000 posts and so too bad I'm posting it now!

Thanks for the funtimes, Fuwanovel. I'm looking forward to more fun, torrent-less times with y'all
