    I'm just wishing really hard that I really could be a goddess with a strengthened body and mind that won't need sleep just so I can keep writing everything I want :blobuwu: And I also seem to have a disease where I take everything too literally :blob_grin: (I would really like to squeeze myself dry for writing stories, so I'm also curious to know how it can be done :blobowoevil:)

    It will have the happiest ending I'm able to think of~ :blobmelt: ...And I tend to try and avoid writing drama wherever I can. Especially the super cliche, angsty ones, or easily resolved misunderstandings between the couple due to miscommunication :blobupset: I'd promise more, but I haven't even figured out what type of personalities the characters will have, much less the plot, so I guess I'll leave further elaboration for later~ :blobsmirk:

    The Recommendations Directory and the List of Possible Novel Translations are all up to date again~! I'm going to aim to update the Recommendations Directory either once a week or once every two weeks, and the Translations List once a month. That should hopefully keep them relevant without requiring too much work.

    And now I'm going to mess up my own hard work by recommending some manga I saw hadn't been mentioned. :blobpats:

    Did anyone see the series "Yuki and the Authoress" on Dynasty? It's so addictive~! I ended up reading it instead of sleeping one night, and I was devastated when I caught up to the latest chapter. It's set in a historical period where feminism is just starting to take off in Japan. A cute little cafe girl meets her favourite romance author when she begins writing in her cafe...
    It's a nice soft, cute girl x sly older lady pairing. The tension between them is perfect - I just melt all the time... :blobmelt:

    And I'm very late to discover this, but I see the author of the "Legally Married Yuri Couple" manga has a similar manga that was actually serialised in a yuri magazine - it's "Isn't the Moon Beautiful".
    I have to say that I prefer the original, but at least there's more of this one.

    Welcome back~! :bloblove: Did it go well?

    I feel like I'll jinx it by expecting anything, though. I know there's at least one person over on Scribble Hub who said they're trying to write a piece for us.

    Suou has been here for at least a year now~! He was the winner of last year's Writing Competition.

    It was pretty nice. We're long distance during university semesters, so it's been a long time since we've been able to enjoy each other's company casually - usually we feel pressured to make the most of our time when I visit. This time, we just stayed at mine and watched some anime. She's showing me Macross Delta right now because it has her favourite yuri pairing in it. I hadn't realised just how much I missed doing nothing with her...

    We've been together for nearly four years now, but we've been friends for a lot longer.

    Can I get the link to the recommendation directory? Is it manga or novels? Actually, can I get a link to all the yuri lists?

    Here's the Recommendation Directory: The Yuri Garden's Recommendation Directory
    It has novels, manga, anime, films and dramas, misc videos, and more.

    This is the Directory of Novels Needing Translators: Directory of Dropped Yuri and Yuri Pick-Up Requests
    The pages are a bit fiddly for people just trying to see everything in the directory, but they're designed to be easy for translators to navigate to find what they're interested in translating.

    Yuri goddesses are different. They are quirky one. :blobowoevil_horns: And no, that's not a disease. If you had transformed everything in literature that would be one.
    Oh, that's simple!
    Stage one:
    KilllaKill(04).2013.x264.HDTVRip.(720p).mkv_20190714_185124.822.jpg
    Stage two:
    KilllaKill(04).2013.x264.HDTVRip.(720p).mkv_20190714_190155.195.jpg
    Profit!
    I read it since it appeared on dex. Story is completed in raws recently (about month back) it has 14 chapters. But drawing and setting are not for everyone and it's still ongoing so I avoided recommending it.
    I mentioned it before but from another name: "Tsuki ga Kirei Desu ne". Still story is nice and it was good to see that wife's friend looks like could be getting herself a girlfriend.
    Glad to hear! I hope all was well and case was closed successfully and in your favor.
    While the story was nice before recent spinoffs and flashbacks put it in different directions and I don't know what to think about it anymore.
    Thanks!! :blobparty: :blob_pompom: Ten, it's ten right!? :blob_coffee: :blobdizzy: :blob_grin:
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Also today story about one pervert loli had ended translating: Joshikousei To Ouji Chan It was fun and cute while it lasted.

    P.S. Today on dex emerged another old one series (different language translation maybe): Hakodate Youjin Buraichou Himegami does anybody have opinion about it or read it before? Is it worth time to read it?

    I was a little put off by the art style and the historical tag, too, but it's really good~! I think I need to read more historical yuri.

    Ah, I see~! I'll edit that in the Recommendations Directory in a little bit.

    I haven't quite reached that bit, but I'll look forward to it.

    Unfortunately only 8 accepted so far. This and Alice's fall foul of rule #6 a little, so they can't be counted unless they edit those bits out somehow.

    I understand if they choose not to, though.

    There are good chinese stories :blobsmilehappyeyes: One of them is actively translating and another near the end. Just reminding....
    Don't bother those romaji names and fully translated names are pain when searching. Double searching, double the fun.... yeah.... right :notlikeblob:
    Oh, but 10 stories remains to be 10 stories even if not all passed? Will be there at least mention of them when curtain close on deadline? If author decides to don't change anything.

    I wonder how much more quirkiness I'll need in my quirkiness meter before I can become a Yuri Goddess then~

    Me: *looks at quirkiness meter* :aww:
    Quirkiness Meter: You have to first write a proper Yuri story to be considered for the position, y'know? :blobtongue:
    Me: :blobfrowning:

    I guess I still have ways to go~

    What about transforming into yuri literature though? Would it still be a disease? :blob_grin:

    :blobfearful: I feel like I'd wring and beat out all the meager brain cells I have if I tried that... What would I do without my precious brain cells? Where can I even buy more brain cells? :blobsleepless:

    If I put the same work with both names, separated by a stroke, we should all only have to search once~!

    Besides, that manga is now currently listed twice because of my lack of attention. :blobmelt:

    They go into the Recommendations Directory as NUF webnovels because they were mentioned here.

    I won't be mentioning any that fail to be accepted in the competition posts, though. Doing so would just be asking to cause confusion... :blobsweat_2:

    *opens a "Quirkiness Compendium" from International Committee for Weights and Measures secret department.*
    *looks for 25.21.18.9 Article*
    *read following: people who talking to their Quirkiness Meters are quirky ones*
    Verdict: :blob_thor: passed.
    It's strange to ask this question if you are right now in Yuri Anonymous group. :blob_tilt:
    Simple, you can take it from other ones! :blobnom:
    Oh good to hear it. I feared that they will wilt and fade away even if they don't pass.

    Thanksies~! it went super well since i added some evidence sitting in my files and other account in social media~


    You can't really stop jinxing yourself if that is the case~ And i am super happy about the person who is writing something for us~ i hope they do their best for them to get the top prize though~

    Really~?! I must pay more attention to everyone in that case~!

    Ah~~~! must be so nice isn't it~? having someone to cuddle with~ just the two of you leaning on each other on the couch watching and enjoying your sweet time~ Also~ it's really nice that you two share the same interest~ helps keep you on the same page with your lover~

    Wait~! you have been together for 4 years now~? and knew each other before then~? Waaahhhhh~~~ so cute~! -writes down detail- also this is going to be included in the 'Main' Novel~~!

    You can write a story about this. :blob_grin: Yuri one :blobtongue: :blobsmirk:
    Oh, awesome! Glad that at least case end well.
    Looks like there is fierce competition this year.
    And you know what somebody will say: "How cliche this overused plot trope is?! It couldn't happen in real life!" :blob_grin:

    Yay~! :blobparty:

    We have to watch it in my room on the laptop, and there's not really a couch. We just cuddle up on the bed. She's not as interested in yuri as I am, but she's been going crazy for these subtly confirmed lesbians. It's these two cuties here:
    Macross-Delta-Ep-26-Img-0017.png

    It will be four years as of this November. We became friends near the beginning of secondary school, and were best friends by the time we started dating. It sounds sweet, but... I was used to hanging around boys at that age and was quite violent when I played with others. I'm sure it was like being friends with a delinquent until I mellowed out.
