Sorry I declared my return a bit early - I'm concentrating on translation projects, plus my dog's health is acting up - but I wanted to drop by to post on my belated discovery of Pixiv's doujinshi market, Booth.pm, where Pixiv artists can sell their doujinshi items directly. It's a real intriguing concept, but there's not much to report, at least for the series I like: a sold-out 20th anniversary Lunar 2 doujin from Garden Garden (which is still at it, and which hasn't improved artistically); a few scattered Angelique tchotchkes, mostly of an Oscar/Lumi nature (and it goes to show how unaccustomed I am to that new Lumiale design, because I was looking at that charm and thinking: "who's that chick with Oscar; is she from another game?"); and...some picture (not a doujin; a picture) of Alis Landale and some other warrior chica biting a catgirl's ears. The most curious discovery was of a bunch of Clock Tower doujinshi, but I don't think I'll bite; it's predominantly Jennifer/Edward, with both characters drawn - well, I was going to say "very young," but the characters' physical ages during the game are 15 and 10 respectively. Yes, I know that Edward is an age-old demon, and hints of that dynamic are an effective creep factor in the novel, but...well, try explaining to that to customs, at the very least. Someone did make replicas of Yu/Alyssa's amulets, though, which is remarkable.

(I also came across this remarkable artist while searching for 999 stuff - which is nil, apparently. There are some very odd omissions in Booth's stock, though - no FF4, and no Ib, which was a cottage industry on Pixiv last time I looked.)

(Also, I feel obliged to mention that if you like FF6, you might enjoy these fan artbooks. For Chrono Trigger, have a Magus postcard set.)

(I must also link this.)

Of course, most of the series I enjoy have been around for a few years and are unlikely to see the release of many new books or items; you might have better luck yourself searching for the titles you enjoy. You'll have to use Tenso or another forwarding service if you decide to bite, of course.
