Darker than Black Fanbook Scanlation Project
Hello lovely community! I am here today to propose the "Darker than Black Fanbook Scanlation Project" because I have reached my milestone of scanning 50 pages, which is more than enough to start with. I have never done something like this and I'm not sure how a scanlation group works. I know that we can do a little at a time because there is lots and lots of text. So for the project we will need: (Number is how many we have) Translators(1) Cleaners(2) Typesetters(1) and Editors : Proofreading AND/OR Quality Checking. I have decided that should only be 5-6 in each category so the Project doesn't get out of hand. If anyone would like to by my right hand man and help me divide up work that would also be awesome. If you are interested in helping me out, I am the only one so far, just leave a comment with what position you'd like. We do need more than one in each category so feel feel to comment. I would appreciate you having some experience but it is not necessary. I'd also like for you to provide a sample of your work.(Ex. A page for a manga one page will do. No graphics. A comparison is best. Like comparing the raw scan to the scan that you cleaned.) Feel free to ask questions! Thank you DTB community I hope we can make this a success. |

Icons GALORE!
I sort of challenged myself to make 100 DtB icons and I succeeded with making 105! There need to be more icons of Hazuki.... Sorry they are all over the place. I added them as I made them and I jump around. Please host them on your own. No credit necessary, just don't claim as your own. You can use them as bases if you wish. Over here at my journal. http://sakuramiko16.livejournal.com/11478.html |

One-shot: The silver moon sways in the embrace of a night that is darker than black
The 3 min OVA preview is overwhelming, and here's the result. It's my first fanfiction for DTB so I'm super glad it's on Hei and Yin. I wanted to upload it on ff.net but I can't seem to log-in. I'll try again later, see if it works. :) For now though, enjoy! The ff.net log-in Nazi finally let me in! Title: The silver moon sways in the embrace of a night that is darker than black Rating: PG Characters: Hei, Yin Summary: Hugely based on that scene from the OVA trailer where Hei promises to Yin that he will not leave her (sorry, it's 12AM, brain is half asleep now to make a decent summary >_<) Follow Yin's ghost |

Song from Episode 6
Anyone know what song is playing in the background when Suoh and Hei are taking? Before they go to the store? I really love it... It might be by Suoh's VA but I really have no clue! Thanks for the help. Current Mood:  curious |

LiveJournal Major Notes: Notes, Tweaks, Bug Kills, LJ_Cares!
Notes augmented
We've enhanced and de-bugged Notes. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the time! You can create a private note when you ban multiple users. You can also delete multiple notes at once. Lastly, paid users have the option to add a note (visible only to you) whenever you add or remove a friend (guaranteed to avoid embarrassing social mishaps). If you don't currently have a paid account, you can upgrade now! It only takes a few minutes and costs less than a bad shopping mall haircut (plus, it's way more fashionable)!
Product tweaks and bug kill
- In another effort to zap spam, comments containing links from domains LiveJournal deems untrustworthy are now automatically screened
- If you sign up to get notifications of the Writer's Block question of the day, you'll now see the daily question in the email notification, so you'll have a little extra time to ponder before you post. You can subscribe to Writers Block notifications here
- The issue causing random comments to vanish has been fixed!
- If you visit a LiveJournal page and get prompted to log in, you'll be returned to the same page after you sign in (Thanks, Dreamwidth)!
- If you don't edit the timestamp for an entry at all, the entry timestamp will indicate the time the entry was posted instead of the time the Update Journal page was loaded
- Comments with paddings/backgrounds render correctly within the comment box (and will no longer wrap outside the box and break frames/margins)
New FCK fixes rich text editor!
- We've updated our RTE (Rich Text Editor) to FCKeditor version 2.6.5
- When switching from the RTE to HTML editor, links for syndicated feeds are no longer broken
- RTE now functions properly in Safari 4.0
- An extra line/space will not be auto-inserted whenever you switch from RTE to HTML editor
- The insert image link now works correctly in all browsers
LiveJournal Cares
We’re pleased to introduce you to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) lj_cares, a new LiveJournal community dedicated to raising awareness and funds for U.S. charitable organizations that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Each month, we’ll spotlight a nonprofit that is making a significant global impact through medical research, public outreach, and/or humanitarian social programs. Charities will be selected in accordance with the U.S. calendar of national health observances based on a high rating (of over 60%) on Charity Navigator and global scope of impact.
In this, our inaugural month of November, we will celebrate national adoption month by offering a charitable virtual gift (priced at $2.99) to support Love Without Boundaries, an organization that saves the lives of orphans with life-threatening diseases and places them in loving homes around the world. LiveJournal will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of charitable vgifts (we'll cover the cost of credit card transaction fees). To learn more about Love Without Boundaries, please visit lj_cares and read about how they helped save Baby Kang and the Rainbow Twins from fatal illnesses, who are now thriving in nurturing families. You can purchase your Love Without Boundaries gifts in the Virtual Gift shop.
Papered in postcards
A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to send in postcards to surround us with LiveJournal community. Thanks for coming through! We've received postcards all the way from Germany, Finland, and Canada and from all over the US, including Texas, Florida, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Hawaii, and Oklahoma just to name just a handful. We're thrilled with our improved decor.
Please keep the love coming for one more week by writing to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107. Be sure to include your username, since we'll be drawing the names of ten random contributors next Thursday to win paid account credits!
Photos of the week
We have more dazzling images posted by talented LiveJournal photographers from around the world. We're hoping to span the entire globe, so please continue posting and tagging. Of course, you can also sit back and enjoy the view at lj_photophile.
You can see a sample of this week's gorgeous photos and check out spotlight communities and awesome user content after the jump!

The other colorings and icons can be found behind the cut. Original  colored:       A soul pledged to the darkness Current Music: Gackt Suddenly |

Remember Remeber the 11th of...uh...huh?
Couldn't resist! So, this is nothing special, just an insanely quick fanart. (I promise something much better fairly soon) While I was about 15 mins too late in posting on DA in my time zone, at least it's still the right day on some clocks! clickie preview icon for full ^.^  |

Network Maintenance: Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 04:00-06:00 UTC/GMT
EDIT@08:16 UTC/GMT. Wow. That was ugly. I expected it to go for 30 minutes and have maybe 1 minute of broken connectivity. Instead it lasted over 4 hours and we had 10 minutes of downtime directly related to the load balancer upgrades and then another 5-10 minutes of downtime when our primary Pingback database server crashed and the secondary couldn't take over; which could have been indirectly caused by the network upgrade missing a self-VIP. Anyways, we're up, we're working, the load balancers are barely breaking a sweat right now and I need some food and a shot of whiskey. I don't even *like* whiskey!! Thanks ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) mhwest and dnewhall for helping out! --- On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice. Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials. We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait! As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work. |

A little Misaki
I've been practicing SD because I'm usually really bad at it (I usually can't get the proportions quite right and it looks freaky instead of cute. XD) I'm finally catching on a bit, I think. But anyway, here's a SD Misaki for your amusement, plus she needs more love.  ( Larger ) |

Scans Fanbook Omake
I am scanning it slowly but surely. I decided to do the omake manga as one of my first parts. So now I am sharing it. I have to say it is lovely. I want to make some icons. Download .zip file here. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YFUA3V4U If you use it credit me please (Sakuramiko or Sakuramiko16 is fine)Sorry they are a little weird. I wanted to get in the whole page so you can see a bit of the black paper I used. Nothing horrible though. Yin, Kiko, and Mayuko make an amazing combination. That's right I said Kiko. UPDATE: I cleaned them. Read or DL here. http://mangahelpers.com/downloads/details/61550 Current Mood:  sleepy |
