@ OrangePekoe

Ah, I forgot about that button. That's just plain weird, because I actually now remember having used that button before.

I agree that it is slightly hidden/not obvious. I guess I expected to see a URL text link, much like the link on the author pages.

 
OrangePekoe:

One of the things the site is lacking sometimes is a real sense of design. So if you have some suggestion to improve its visibility, please fire away!

aletto:

Actually, I think the site is pretty well designed. Very clean, no clutter, high performance, one couldn't really ask for more.

Agree. I feel the design of the site is very minimalistic but at the same time, completely functional. There is pretty much zero clutter; the fact that this site does not serve ads certainly also helps. And I've already mentioned before elsewhere that the left/right click of the reader makes helluva lot of sense. So all in all, I don't have many complaints about the reader.

I have a few suggestions of improvements for the forum, but they're fairly minor. I already mentioned a couple in the suggestions thread (usernames when quoting and permalinks in post history and elsewhere).

Nope, I'm pretty sure I posted these full-sized images. Maybe postimg done something wrong

That's really strange.

Then my bad for assuming that. I guess I made that assumption because I myself was struggling with Twitter's crappy interface to save those images. (Apologies to those who like Twitter's crappy interface. :3 )

 
 
@ OrangePekoe

Thanks for all the info.

OrangePekoe:

Thank you for your work in collecting them, by the way! bows

Jeez, lol. My "work" is really nothing compared to the work of the fan content creators and scanlators.

OrangePekoe:

Now! Time to start digging through the thread and compiling a list...

Can't say I envy that job, lawl, given that AFAIK, this is one of the largest threads on this forum.

 
One more thought:

I'd be nice if the forum had a "source" feature for images, especially for images made by fans.
For example:
http://dynasty-scans.com/images/3198
There is no way to know where that image came from. (In this example, it's art by the author of the series, which makes it far easier to find, but suppose that this was fan art.)
The most you could do is click on the "Author: AUTHOR-NAME" tag, then go to the author's page, which has a link to his/her site at the top... sometimes.
But still no way to have a direct link to the original blog post or Pixiv page or Weibo page or whatever.
I guess the simplest workaround is that any one of us can post the source URL in a comment.

LMAO MY BAD. Got the two series mixed up.

Anyway, yeah, searching for the Korean name of the series in romanized form "seolleneun gibun" doesn't find much of anything, unlike "Their Story"/"Tamen De Gushi".

Can we get the fanarts uploaded to the series page? I'm not sure exactly what the process is for that. Do we need to be some kind of trusted person before attempting?

Yes, it would be nice if the various fan art images and fan comics were added to the actual "official" images section for the series.

Right now, if I want to see the fan art posted so far... well, I pretty much have to just go through this 82-page-and-growing thread page by page. Which is terrible. Or because many are in my post history, which has far fewer pages, I can go through that instead. But still, not that ideal.

Are there "criteria" for an image to be in Dynasty's images section? It seems that they are simply images made by just anyone, whether it be the authors themselves or any fan. If so, then pretty much all the fan art posted so far qualifies?

If we can indeed go ahead and get the images uploaded, one thing I would really recommend is to make sure to get the highest quality and highest resolution version of the image that is available. I often see people upload/post/reblog/whatever smaller lower quality versions of images, which is unfortunate. So to whomever that will submit for upload or do the uploading of the images, please try to ensure that you are not getting a scaled down or "preview" version. For example, on Twitter or Tumblr, if you see an image, try clicking it to see if it opens a larger original version.

I just want to say, I'll answer all of this in the morning. Sorry for putting it off, but rest assured that there will soon be some FF fan art on Dynasty!

Funny you mention this because I just went to Tumblr and lo and behold someone had reposted my FF artwork (without credit, I might add) in a much smaller resolution than the original. facepalm

Yeah, seriously.

OK, I get it, they don't want to "merely" reblog your original post (which is source-linked back to the original post), because a reblog won't be prominent enough, e.g., won't show up in feeds/tag searches since it's not the original post.

So instead, they effectively duplicate the post, i.e., create a new blog post (not source-linked back to the original post, of course) and put that content in manually. OK, fine. They've got their "new" post. But why not put the URL of your original post? Or hell, just frickin' mention your name. What possible reason could they possibly have to not do at least that?! I mean, don't they consider how if people like the image, people may want to know where it came from and perhaps find more similar stuff from that author/artist?

Nope! Screw this "giving proper credit" nonsense. It's all about the views, baby!

Just awful.

 
 
And now, a prophecy by our grandma:

An anonymous user asked:

Do you think there is a chance we could see a kiss on the mouth in Fluttering Feelings? Or are we gonna just see the shadow of No-rae and Seol-a holding hands? (already sad face)

halmoni:

The most physical Seolrae moment you’ll ever see in FF is Hee-jin talking about how No-rae’s hand brushed against Seol-a’s hand while they walked to school. That’s it. And it’s going to happen in chapter 429. So buckle your seatbelts and prepare your HEART FOR SOME FLUTTERIN FEELINGS

@ Alextasha

Randomly, I noticed (don't ask how) that your images are ever so slightly smaller than the originals.

Compare:

http://s1.postimg.org/43md2fsnz/image.png (yours)
http://i.imgur.com/JfhNnk9.jpg (from original)

http://s1.postimg.org/cn5r0710f/image.png (yours)
http://i.imgur.com/UN3oPrC.jpg (from original)

So I assume you took screen captures rather than saving the pictures, am I right?

If so, then I assume you did so because you clicked the image to view the image full size in a lightbox, but in the lightbox, there was no way to right-click the image to save? (Because there are multiple images in that post, so the whole image is a click target to go to the previous or next image.)

If that is indeed the reason, then you can do this instead.

Go to the page of the post: https://twitter.com/ahndory/status/592558885740748801
But don't open the lightbox.
Instead, for each of the two images, right-click on it, then open in new tab.
You should get these two:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDkxKoYUMAAU4pP.jpg
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDkxKmIUkAEtU4Z.jpg

For good measure, you should add ":large" at the end of it, because those might be the smaller resized versions (though not in this case).

So the final URLs for full-size images:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDkxKoYUMAAU4pP.jpg:large

@ Lara 77

You're perfectly entitled to your opinion. I'll just direct you to my thoughts on this which I made in this post.

Even though that post was in reply to someone who was joking, I kind of knew that there would be people who would in fact be "offended" by these pictures. Again, perfectly fine, we all have different sensibilities.

I personally do not think that those pictures portray them being overly "rough" with each other. Nobody's holding someone down forcibly or continuing despite the other's protests or other stuff of the sort, which I personally am not a huge fan of but is in fact really common in NSFW manga art. Also, I am not assuming that those images are portraying their first time together; if it were their first time, then indeed, it would likely be rather slow, gentle and probably a bit awkward. Rather, I am assuming that these scenes are at a point well into their relationship. But if you were to tell me that these scenes are meant to occur right after chapter 34, then that'd be a very different story.

So basically, I personally find those drawings to be in good taste. Definitely NSFW, mind you, but tasteful. Your mileage may vary.

NO DAWG, FF, SRS BSNS!!!1

ChocolateCakeLover:

Yeah, full porn.

I don't think anything sexual or with nudity must be porn.

I think for any given piece (drawing, photo, video, whatever), it just depends on how the piece is done as well as on the meaning and/or "background information" behind it.

And it is subjective. Definitely. Of course this will depend on each person's perspective. There is no absolute.

For instance, from my perspective, the NSFW pictures posted so far depict two people in love in passionate, intimate moments. And I also happen to know the story behind these two people. (Although of course, the pictures portray some sort of theoretical non-canon future. But it is based on the existing ongoing canon story that we do know.) So for me, it is not just a meaningless picture of two random characters doing arbitrary acts. Furthermore, I don't find the pictures degrading in any way.

Anyway, just my personal view.

BTW, there is at least one picture also done by one of those artists that I chose to not post here. Because that one I felt was leaning more towards straight up porn without much merit for much else.

Author art by ssamba or fan art that ssamba reposted on her blog from a long while back:

Source: thread/1641738, No.1644718, 22 Dec 2014

Here's a fanart posted on the author's blog. Though I can't find it now.

I can't find it on ssamba's blog right now either.
But the 2nd line does say "ssamba-nim", so it's probably hers?

But then again, it doesn't look much like her usual art style, so... ionno.

 
(Update: This is very likely fan art.)

An Ode To The Goddess

In the beginning, in the Cosmicos, there was void. Humanity wandered around aimless and lost. The Ssource thus created the Book of Golden Song and White Snow to guide humanity to salvation. Alas, humanity could not understand the holy words and suffered endlessly. The Goddess saw this and was filled with immense sadness. The Goddess decided to gift to the people the meaning of salvation. She gave to one and to all, regardless of dynasty, even those in p/u/rgatory, even those who hath tumblrd and fallen.

But not MangaFox and MangaHere 'cause fuck those guys.

And so, the people rejoiced. They saw the world in a new shining light through rosy goggles. The Goddess saw this and was pleased.

One day, on the 34th cycle of rebirth, the people heard the new word. The people waited endlessly for the Goddess's wisdom. They waited and waited and waited. Alas, her warmth could not be felt. And so, the people despaired. Some left into the void, back into the cold darkness. Some became lost, took a bite of the Forbidden Citrus and were left to eternal torment. But some held on to the hope that their Goddess has not forsaken them.
