Weeeeeeell...I have been secretly working on a little something-something:
It takes place in a haunted high school, and a group of teenagers have to use the power of friendship to get to the bottom of the strange happenings...only to find out THEY WERE TO GHOSTS THE WHOLE TIME!!!
If a LN is considered the equivalent of YA fiction, then I'm one step ahead of you. I've already written a novel like that. :3
Brilliant.

Naoto was secretly a robot-girl pretending to be a girl pretending to be a boy the entire time!
I second that.

Well Skullgirls Encore finally comes to consoles tomorrow so I'll be happy
There are only three copies of it: one is on my hard drive, the other backed up to a private server on the intertubes, and the third is a bound double spaced printout in my drawer which I'll get around to editing in six months or so.
It's not very good so I haven't done anything with it yet, but I don't really feel interested in editing it right now. I do my best editing when I've got enough distance from the piece to look at it more objectively, and I don't think I've kept it locked away for long enough to do that yet.
let me edit it
or at least read it
this is actually just a ploy to let me read it okay
Real talk: I will send anyone on here (who I like -- that includes you Jintor!
) a copy of it when it is ready. I like to edit something once or twice before I share it with anyone, and at the moment it literally is a first draft gathering digital dust.But sure, that's a provisional 'yes, you may check this out before I start hawking it to agents and publishers'. I plan on sending it to a number of people who I trust if I think it's worth continuing work on, and a number of people in PersonaGAF are people that I trust.
I think a chapter a week sounds good. Personally I could burn through the whole thing in a week, but I know a lot of people don't have the time, or don't want to dedicate the time, to read a book so fast, so in my view it's best to give everyone a whole seven days to sit down and read a chapter. That's an average of nearly 45 pages a week, which the average reader could get through in 30-45 minutes. Not a massive ask, as far as weekly reading goes.

Oh, I wouldn't say that! ^_^
My thoughts exactly.
Another vote for a chapter a week. I read fast so I can do more than that, but I could see fatigue from the terrible so it might be wise to keep it lower.

Chapter a week sounds good, are we gonna discuss on skype every week?
I had assumed we'd discuss it on here.

Something about Dantis reading that Naoto detective thing makes me fear a lot of things.
Maybe it will inspire him to do some art.

Haha wow, I can't believe I hadn't thought of that, yeah that way the whole community can see the undoubtedly hilarious discussion.
So, we read the first chapter (Plus the short prologue) by next Tuesday, and try to avoid discussing it until then (As it would kind of defeat the purpose).
Sound good?
Also keep in mind that we can't actually link the translation on here. It's pretty easy to find though.
Your wife's in the prologue, mate. You should be all over this.

Well just make sure your pants stay on when you read the Naoto stuff, ok?
Will you actually not be participating in this, Smedwicks? I think it'll be fun.
I might keep a word document open to save some of the best lines, lol. I know there's going to be some classic writing in there.

I don't even know what's happening! I cam back from school and was all confused!
PersonaGAF Book Club.
Reading one chapter of Persona X Detective a week, and discussing it the following week.
We'll be discussing chapter 1 next Tuesday.
It's pretty low commitment. Like Omi said, it's like, half an hour of reading per week. You'll blast through it.
I did NaNoWriMo for 2013. I'm on the GAF leaderboard and everything. I haven't really participated in any NaNoWriMo stuff after that, though.
As for WritingGAF, I want to but I kind of do my own thing and don't really talk with other writers besides the people I went to university with. I'm also really bad at checking threads regularly, which I should probably work on fixing...
Well at least you start something. I didn't even make any concept for it :<
Speaking of concept remind of Jung. Will P5 focus even deeper to Jungian psychology? There are a LOT of thing that you can turn into fiction from Jung's writing.
Not even going to bother with mine. It's trash, plain and simple. I do enjoy the process of doing 50k in a month, however. It reminds me that I could churn my writing out faster, but that it'd suck. It's an enjoyable reminder that outside of NaNo I am doing my best, and my best work is the stuff that will be published.

Is this going to be in the thread?
Yeesh, why am I entertaining the thought of doing this. What have you people done to me ;_;
At least you broke 10k. I got like 6k ;_;
The translation won't be in the thread, but the discussion will.
Read the first chapter by next Tuesday!
YES.
I leave you all for like twelve hours and this is what I come back to!?
God speed, you all. I once considered translating it as a horrible joke but I've never been able to make it past the first chapter of that or the manga adaptation and I'm genuinely horrified someone actually took it upon themselves to translate that beast. There's a decent amount of T&A strewn about in the artwork, so if that's what you want out of your Naoto stories, there's... that.
I say that as someone still planning to translate the Aigis cell phone game one of these days, so maybe I'm not in that much of a position to judge.
Still...

The fact it has an origin story for her bow is reason enough for it to be top tier canon, so fundamental to the sanctity of the Persona lore that not even a retcon can override it.
I guess now we need a second cell phone game to explain why she switched out to a tie for Arena though. Or it's probably in that Persona cell phone MMO we all forgot about. Probably. ;D

Can anyone explain to me what inspired the changes in the art style from Persona 2 to Persona 3 (or for that matter all Shin Megami Tensei games after the early 2000's)?
I mean how they shifted from a sort of pale mannequin type art style for the more anime type art style they have now. All Shin Megami Tensei games used to use that art style.

Forget the phone game itself, we need it to be rebooted into Aigis x Vanquish gameplay. Where's that photoshopped picture when I need it? D:
Well, the reasons it's not canon are minor (It apparently begins before Aigis was even first activated....)
But I'd love to hear the story, or see the elements adopted to the movie.
DO IT ATLUS! It must be dooone.

Kazuma Kaneko did the character artwork for Persona 1 and 2 and many other SMT games, whereas Shigenori Soejima did it for Persona 3 and 4.
Is there any specific reason except to make her look "older" or "changed" for that? :O
Earlier Soejima's artwork have pale-ish color that similar to Kaneko's though.

I guess someone's been practicing their Japanese! Unless it's been fan translated.
There's a fan translation. I don't know a lick of Japanese, haha.
