[MOD] Helpful links & Resources

[acidae.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how well this idea will fly, because it will depend on everyone in the community to succeed. If you're interested in helping out other members in the community, or even just a chance to pimp something of yours all over again, please read on!

This link has been in the sidebar for quite some time now, but it only led to the profile-- which does provide some very helpful links, but it's not comprehensive by far. Where are the drama communities, the links to massive download guides, the scans and discussions? There are so much more out there that cannot possibly be included in the community profile. So, this is what I need you to do:

If you own or know of a community, personal journal or entry which you think is useful to the community, please comment on the post with a link and a quick blurb (no longer than two sentences) to describe what it is for or about.

...but, of course, no post is complete without a set of notes and rules:

☆ Check out the existing categories for an idea of what is acceptable, and also to make sure something you want to pimp isn't already included.
☆ Personal fanfiction or fanwork-related comms/sites/posts will not be added to this list, as there are other communities for them to begin with and should belong in those instead.
☆ To cut down on overwhelming lists of personal journals and communities with few posts/updates, they must have at least ten Arashi-related releases/posts in order to be added.
☆ If a community is locked and/or requires membership application, please note clearly so I can label accordingly. In accordance with the community rules, locked journals will not be added.
☆ If you are the owner of a link that is already included in the list and you would like to change the description given, feel free to comment and let me know.

Simple, right? Then get pimping!

Comments

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Added, thank you!

[acidae.livejournal.com]

I won't be adding anything relating to sales, fanfiction or graphics, but I'll add the rest of the links; thank you!

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the links! It's a lot quicker to just grab from comments right now, but I think I'll go through them and add some more later on when I have more time.

[acidae.livejournal.com]

I was actually about to ask for a link XD Thanks, I'll add it now!

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Added both, thanks!

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Added, thanks!

[inuhariko.livejournal.com]

Very helpful. Great idea! Thanks!

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Added, thanks!

[matchalie.livejournal.com]

Hi hi :D

I wasn't sure at first where to say it, but I guess I'll just say it here, hoping that you will screen it XD So yea, can you please remove my link above? I've decided to make my LJ private now and that includes the episode guide that I failed to continue XDDD Sorry for the trouble!

Thanks a lot for everything! :D

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Locked journals will not be added to the list, but I will be adding the first one, thanks!

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Her post has already been added to the list, but thanks anyway!

[acidae.livejournal.com]

She doesn't actually scan, she just reposts with credit XD But I'll add her too, thanks!

[aeslis]

Oh, really? I had no idea. D'urr. Well, either way, it's an easy place to find scans. 8D/ If I think of any more, I'll let you know, though I'm not very knowledgeable. This post came at just the right time. :)

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Added, thanks! Let me know if you'd like any more changes to the description for On the Rainbow, and I'll edit it ASAP.

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Added, thanks!

[acidae.livejournal.com]

I've taken a look at the site, but I don't think I'll be adding it as it doesn't quite fall under the definition of a helpful link or resource. Thanks anyway!

[acidae.livejournal.com]

[marga-ps.livejournal.com]

Great idea!! :)
Just a thing, "Je-index" links to abcdepiklove's list instead of http://je-index.livejournal.com/ or http://indexjevideos.freehostia.com/index.htm
:)

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Fixed, thanks for the heads up!

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the late reply! I don't know of the links to those two communities, so I haven't added them yet. Maybe if you give me the links...?

[adee-cika.livejournal.com]

ah my reply is very very late too. X_x
for hanarae-chan community, the link is
http://community.livejournal.com/hanaraechan/

and for hjarpsub community,
http://community.livejournal.com/hjarpsubs/


hope this helps! :)

[kayeah73.livejournal.com]

thank you for this =))

Join arashi_yuuki community...?

[teaqueue.livejournal.com]

Hi, if this is the wrong place to ask this, I apologize - I'm new to LJ and having a little trouble finding my way around. (>_<)

The arashi_yuuki community lists you as one of the maintainers who can add new members, and I'd really like to join if possible.

I promise not to distribute anything in any way, & only use the files etc. posted there for my own entertainment.

Thanks!

Re: Join arashi_yuuki community...?

[acidae.livejournal.com]

I think you might be mistaken; that community lists three maintainers in total on their userinfo, none of which are me:

Maintainers (3):
dvampyrlestat, winkychan, yuckie_chan

I'm not familiar with their membership requirements, so it's probably best to take a look at their rules instead. Sorry!

Re: Join arashi_yuuki community...?

[chixm8-49.livejournal.com]

arashi_yuuki community is now open.. *well, actually, it was already open weeks ago* just check for their requirements :D

[azraqey.livejournal.com]

arashi_no_asahi ?
our_landscape ?

[soothing-sight.livejournal.com]

Hello acidae! :D

Do you think we could add AST_SEKAI, the community, after AST_TEAM? AST_SEKAI is the sister community of AST_TEAM, and resubs AST_TEAM's English releases into a variety of languages.


Yoroshiku~

[timelessrepose.livejournal.com]

ah, this is really helpful, thank you !!

I just realized that I never commented with this for the "Media (image)" category:
