I am in a heap big sour mood right now, and it's nobody's fauly but my own, so I need some amusement.

http://www.pixiv.net/

I'd like to think we're all familiar with Japanese art site Pixiv, but I know I'd be totally wrong in thinking that.

Pixiv is like a Japanese Deviant Art with pages that load all the time, no ad pages, and a greatly reduced emo kid population.

"But Sennet!" I hear you shriek, your piercing voices ringing off the tiled walls of my lonely, lonely head. "How do I use this Pixiv thing?"

Boosh. Do that first, because BugMeNot seems to be shite for this. Once registered, you can search for stuff. Hooray!

"But Sennet!" I hear you cry again, and I already know what you're going to say.

To streamline the searching process without you having to carefully type out the katakana/hiragana for stuff, go to Wikipedia. Wiki your canon. Go to the languages sidebar and select the Japanese option. For those of you who don't know kanji, it's what looks like 3 kanji characters, the first of which kinda looks like an 8 on and old digital alarm clock. Copy down the article title, which ought to be your canon.

Search for that in Pixiv. Now do post here with the following three things:

-Your general impression of the nature of content for your canon on Pixiv
-One totally awesome thing you found
-One really weird thing you found
-OPTIONAL BONUS: The most poorly-executed art you found

If one of your castmates has already done it, don't despair. It's Pixiv, so believe me. Unless you are helluva obscure, I'm sure it will provide ample goodies for everyone.

ETA: For the love of Christ, warn for NWS. D: 18+ stuff is automatically blocked from you unless you turn it on, but not everyone tags their stuff properly.

ETA: Just use BugMeNot god http://www.bugmenot.com/view/pixiv.net

ETA: Don't copy the image location; it gives a 403 error when we try to clicks it.
