Calling anime/manga fans! I need your help!
I’m going to work on a “book” on Wattpad that’s basically a
resource for anime/manga, etc. It would contain a glossary, “Anime 101,”
reviews, content screening, etc.
The glossary, which I also plan to post on my blog
(annalynspot.blogspot.com), is getting bigger and bigger. While I focus on
terms related to anime and manga, it also has terms like “visual novel,” “forum,”
and “otakudom.” I’ve already defined about thirty terms, and there are a
lot more I need to define – including some I’m bound to forget about. It’s
taking a long, long time.
So… I was wondering if anyone would like to join the
endeavor. I’d dedicate the glossary to you [there's a dedication thing on works published on Wattpad.com], and make your participation clear
both on Wattpad and on my blog. What I would like from you would be…
A) to help tackle the list of terms I already know need to
be defined…
B) to mention any terms you think should be included that I
haven’t listed…
C) to tell me if you think my definitions are wrong
The idea with this glossary is to use our own words to
describe terms – not to quote Dictionary.com.
Anyone want to join in?

Another note, for those of you following my blog: I'm posting the glossary here as a separate page. In fact, I'll put what I have so far up, so that you have an idea what I'm doing. Any suggestions or corrections are welcome!
I'll help.
ReplyDelete@Zeroe4 - Yay! Thanks! :D The easiest way I can think of is to PM back and forth on Wattpad... unless you prefer a different method of communication.
ReplyDeleteSounds great. I'll see what you have so far and let you know what I think.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely recommend reading the Otaku Encyclopedia by Patrick Galbraith first. It's a great place to start. It's from 2009, so there's always room for another similar reference.
ReplyDeleteLauren: Hm. I'll have to see if my library has it - thanks for bringing it up! I like to peruse books like that. :)
