Novel pick-up requests
-
@Sam-Pinansky Just out of curiosity, was it the entertainment industry that drove you to study physics? Trying to Figure out how superpowers of characters work makes me regret not getting a degree. I had to watch a Youtube video to learn why movie Magneto is weaker than comic Magneto(his powers are based on ferromagnetism instead of electromagnetism like the comics, for those interested).
Also, your probably going to regret revealing this. Now everyone will be asking you how so-and-so character can do "x" in Jnovel's LNs. Then again, most are isekai so you can always just say "it's magic".
-
@gocav No I was interested in physics since middle school and always had einstein as my sort of role model as a kid.
-
Speaking of this year's Overlap light novel competition, what the heck is "Julia Caesar - Gaul Senki"? "Tullia Cicero?" "Licita Crassus"? Is this just Oda Nobuna - SPQR Edition?
-
@Catscope It seems to be an ancient rome themed "travelled to the past but everyone is busty girls".
-
So Koihime Musou - Ver. Imperium Romanum then.
They're just giving out prizes like candy these days aren't they?
But hey, you guys don't have one of those yet. -
@Catscope I'd like to hold one! Maybe this summer. Get those light novel ideas ready!
Our prize might be a little lower than the Japanese publishers prizes though. Some of them payout like $10,000 to the winner!
-
LF Violet Evergarden license :P
-
@Sam-Pinansky When will you post the new clues? I wanna make sure I had the right idea about the titles xD
-
@Catscope Those prizes are so common* because they're basically the way that the publisher finds out about new authors, as well as giving them a bit of popularity to get started. Whereas in the west, if you want to get your work published you basically just spam it off to every possible publisher you can find out about and hope that they accept it, in Japan (for the light novel industry at least) the standard is to submit it for an award at the publisher of your choice, and if it reaches a certain stage then it may be published. This is getting broken down somewhat by the rise of LN-ification of Web Novels but is still the basic way that things work.
In other words, these things shouldn't really be looked at in the same way as awards run by separate organisations, or even awards for works that are already released.
*MF Bunko J runs them 4 times a year...
