Hello and welcome to Keba's Anime and Manga Place (KAAMP for short)! Here at KAAMP, I write about anime and manga that I have seen/read as well as my views on them. I'll also post about my original stories from time to time.

Just beware that some of my posts contain spoilers. I'll put them in spoiler tags just in case.

KAAMP's history: KAAMP was created in July 2002 by yours truly. It was a sloppy-looking website on Yahoo's now defunct Geocities. I posted my anime fan art on that site. Also, for a time, I posted my thoughts on the few anime series that I had seen. Now that I look back on it, my thoughts were rather ill-informed (is that even a word?) because I had only seen bits and pieces of anime dubs. Now that I've seen more series, I think that my commentary on various anime will be a little better than before.

So, come on in and stay awhile! KAAMP is now in session.

30 Days of Art

My longtime friend on theO, Kita Mikichi, and her two buddies on DevaintART (DA) have been challenging each other to draw 30 pictures. Having seen her progress, both here and on DA, I felt inspired to do something similar here on theO (yes, I have permission to use their idea).

The rules are pretty much as follows: Every participant contributes ideas. Each day, the whole group draws out their interpretation of one of those ideas. Everyone posts all 30 drawings. The drawings don't have to be masterpieces.

So, now I need some input. Please answer the following questions.

1. Would you be willing to do this with me?
2. How should this event be hosted? Should I create a World specifically for the purpose of hosting the event and featuring the drawings? Should we all make a post in our own Worlds for this that we can edit as the event progresses? Any other ideas?
3. When do you want to do this? My thought is to start April May June 1. I know I said May, but we do have a student who wants to participate. Is pushing the date back OK with everyone?
4. When should we post our drawings? One per day? Whenever we can? Any other ideas? Keep in mind that not all of us will have easy access to a scanner *cough*likeme*cough*.
5. Do you have any points you'd like to raise that I didn't address yet? Any questions/comments/concerns/hula dances are welcome.
New question: 6. I think there should be a cap on how many can participate. If we limit it to 10 people, everyone can contribute 3 ideas. Is 10 people too many or too few?

Edit: It might be a good idea for all participants to subscribe to each other to keep tabs on each other's progress.

Edit part deux: Content MUST be within site rules. If you're not sure if your idea/drawing is too risque, it probably shouldn't be posted.

Edit the 3rd: Ideas be announced two days in advance of posting. That will account for time zone differences as well as the fact that not everyone can be online every day.

I hope I get some participants. This would be a good way to inject some more life into theO. Or to spam the Fan Art section. Whichever you prefer.
