[Info] Welcome to the Authors and Artists Forum
Posted: Thu Oct 21, 2010 9:01 am
Welcome to the Artist and Author Forum! The purpose of this forum is to discuss and promote your favorite mangaka; anything from art style, writing, how they've developed over the years, if they've regressed, or any discussion that summarizes an artists review. Mangaka of all genres are welcome, even those who primarily write doujin. Please do not discuss individual series in too much detail, this forum is meant to put the focus on the artist, not the individual creation.
Thread Prefixes
Prefixes denote the country of origin:
* Manga: Comics originating in Japan
* Manhwa: Comics originating in Korea
* Manhua: Comics originating in China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan
* OEL (original English Language): Manga style comics originally released in the West. This does not include American/European comics, only comics written and drawn in Japanese/Korean/Chinese style
* Info: Mod use only for rules and guidelines thread
* Hangout: Mod use only, for hangout thread
Thread Title
Please follow this format for the thread title:
* last name, first name (Oda Eiichiro)
* followed by target audience of their manga in parenthesis: Oda Eiichiro (Teen)
* More than one target audience should be added for mangaka when appropriate.
Target Audiences:
As many artists have released series intended for different audiences here is a list of possible target audiences for the title. Please add all that are appropriate.
* Mature (anything targeting men and women of age; seinen/josei)
* Teen (anything targeting teenage boys and girls; shounen/shoujo)
* Kids (Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Doreamon)
* Adult or Erotica (for works with erotic content; ecchi, smut)
* Boys Love/Girls Love (because of manga's nature a tag for these is needed, IMHO)
* Alternative (for untypical artists from alternative/underground mags)
* Doujinshi (there are many mangaka who also release doujins as well as highly popular cirlcles and amateur artists in this field)
for example: [Manga] MURAKAMI Maki (BL, Mature, Adult, Teen)
Format:
Lead posts should be descriptive with enough information to interest potential fans and spark discussion with established ones. The following is required in the lead post.
* Two title must be listed. Titles can be one shots, doujin, or serialized manga. In the case of one shots please do not list one that was later serialized, even if it was heavily altered. Bleach or Naruto for example.
* More than two titles per thread is not required but welcomed.
* Full information is required for each title. Title, Genre, Magazine Serialized In, Status in Japan, International Status, Status Online, Target Age Group (all audiences, teen, older teen, etc.), and a short summary. Genre can be broad, so long as content is indicated.
* Please Provide at least one link per series. A link to a Mangaupdates entry is suggested. If the series has a thread or forum at Mangahelpers we suggest adding a link.
* Pics/art is suggested but not required. Please restrict art to one or two thumbnails per series if any is posted.
* Do not link to hentai, guro, or porn. Manga with adult content from a mainstream magazine (Nana to Kaoru for example) can be linked to. If there are any questions check for an RTS thread, if it is in Mangahelpers database it is safe to link to.
* Staff threads are good examples of the desired format. Do not worry about being as comprehensive, as long as the above rules are followed.
Have fun! Enjoy discussing your favorite artists, we hope every one makes some new favorites!
