Looking for: "Yaoi/BL Related Articles"

haha thanks for the idea... well, it can be done but I am not sure if anyone is actually interested in the process of making the mag O_o;;;
Edition #1 and #2 were easier than #3, there are lots of complications too during #3...hence the delay. But we wanna put up something nice too just like the previous two. ^^;;;

I'm totally curious about the process. In my head it's just kind of... it's there, and that's all there is to it. I remember before I fansubbed that I had no idea what went into a fansub. It was fascinating to find out that all the jobs are split, and then timing isn't just timing: there are rules to think about like "do I join one line to the other if it's more than 1 second apart, do I add a lead-in, what numbers do I enter in the post-processor, do I scene time before I get a script and then fine-time after or do I do both at the same time" and stuff like that.

I know after subbing for so many years and not doing it anymore but still relying on fansubs, obviously, I appreciate it a lot more. I'd love to know what goes into making the magazine.

Uh, I need help. I'm done with my article, but I don't know how to send it. You mentioned to "send both the .txt and pictures to this username ---> aarincontest" but there's no way to attach the files on the send message box. There's an option to insert a picture but I don't think that's how it should be done. You also mentioned attaching them on a picture host link, but not sure how to do that.

Do you mean host links like megaupload, rapidshare, etc? Never used it before but it's a good time to try. I will try it as soon as I get off work, but a reply to say if I'm heading in the right direction or not is appreciated.

Thank you!

@chaosmembrane, yeah you can upload it to free host links sites. Here's my suggestion:
Megaupload
RapidShare
MediaFire

Just copy and paste the link, and send that link to "aarincontest"

Thank you!

Yup! Did so in rapidshare. Already sent my article in, plus some pictures of the cast.

Hi Aarin, I send my yaoi novel review with one picture but I don't know how to send you the others (because I scan them from my novel). Can you tell me how to do that ?

**aarinfantasy** · 02-05-2009, 01:38 PM

@Niahary, you can put them all in one zip/rar file first. Then upload it to a Host Link like MediaFire or Rapidshare, then paste the link and PM "aarincontest". Thanks!
