Extra Chapters Information Thread

Intermission II get!

Time to strike that off the list. Now only the final chapter awaits. It might be a while until I receive that since I'm waiting for more Outlaw Star goodies to appear on Yahoo Japan. As things stand I don't have enough items at Japamart to make the purchase more economical. As I said, the more you order, the better the overall deal due to commission and final shipping costs. (Note: I got the above magazine from Mandarake which ships internationally.) Right now there's the Chaser chapter and I found another of the art book (Promotional Art Book... in 3D!) I had to sacrifice for scans, so that's awesome.

To those of you with access to the Galactic Leyline board (I just gave you access, Idolo), the long-delayed next thirty pages of the manga are coming today. Hopefully I can get the thirty pages after that on tomorrow since it's mostly a matter of getting my translations on the manga pages with the 120 I've done so far. Enjoy.

Wait... thhe author of Outlaw Star wrote a non-canon fic where Gene scores with Aisha and Suzuka?
Authors can be cray cray.
I suppose non-canon fics from Authors aren't necessarilly uncommon.

I wonder what drives authors to make Doujinshi of their own work.
In some cases they do a what if scenario (Like Oda's take on Sabo arriving at Marineford) and in others I guess they just want to have a bit of fun with something that they don't intend to be canon, either because it can't/wouldn't make sense or because it's just good fun without canonical consequences.

I think it's more to do with creative freedom. When mangaka draw for a magazine their publishers will assign them an editor who oversees their decisions and tells them to make certain changes. There's also a chance the magazine will have some restrictions in sex and violence. With doujinshi there's none of that. And indeed, as you note it's also not necessary to follow canon.

Ha ha.
Should have read those manga threads earlier.
Looks like I have to take some stuff back, I wrote about Ito and the manga. Sorry for that.
Concerning that one fic Ito wrote.
I`d like to write something about that, but i dont want to spoil anything from the yet untransleted volumes.

Overall a great job collecting all this stuff.
Hats off!
