Help?

Man, I hate having to do this, but desperate times and all that.

One of my favorite sites for Sean/Viggo art is password protected and the artist asks a sort of riddle for you to figure out the password.

That's cool and perfectly understandable but...I don't speak Japanese, and translating it with a computer program makes the riddle mostly nonsense, at best.

So I ask you, is there anyone who understands this better than me?

ID: In alias of lunar calendar 12 month God like the in Japan it gets together in the area where it is, there is a month when it is named from the fact that God stops being in other entire countries, but please input the place name where that God gets together with the alphabetical character of small letter. PASS: When the month when above-mentioned God is not is corrected in the present solar calendar please input the month when it becomes, with English small letter.

Or maybe you have a Japanese friend you can ask? If so, the main page is here:

And the V/S slash art is here: http://f12.aaacafe.ne.jp/~mumu/under.html

Your reward shall be lovely art of the Viggo/Sean and Aragorn/Boromir variety! There is also more easy assessable and just as lovely PG art for the boys on her site. :)

Ta!

delurking here to offer you some help. The month without the Gods is Kannazuki, during which time the dieties gather in Izumo. Kannazuki is the old term for October, so the ID and password are izumo and october respectively.

(Just please don't reuse/redesign/reformat the arts/works in anyway...thank you!)

And since I'm posting this, just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying this community. Sheer quality through and through, superb writings and beautiful/wicked ideas...oh and not to forget, your abundunt love for Sean and Viggo!! I'm so in awe.

Would never DREAM of abusing those lovely works of art in any fashion. :)

And THANK YOU! I was going bonkers!

Oh, I know!! No offense and not to sound condescending or anything, I had to put that in as I know how some of the artists have found their art being exhibited or used in foreign sites without their permission, sometimes not even in its entirety...and since the act is considered highly unethical in the Japanese cyber world (you'll rarely find a website that DOESN'T state that the works may not be reused/reposted/etc. Of course the problem is, they neglect to add an English translation...), you can see why I'm slightly circumspect!!

Anyway, with that out of the way, here's another place you might find interesting. She's my current favourite. (As I don't want the artist to get nervous when she suddenly finds her 'backroom(=ura)' site being directly accessed, I'm going to ask you to go thru the main doors...sorry!!)

Oh, no offense was taken! I completely understand and I was just reassuring you. :)

I agree, some people have no decency or manners and I don't blame the artists for being nervous one bit. I've had my stories plagiarized before and it is a painful, ugly thing.

Ohhhhh, such lovely art! Time and again I've wished I could write to these wonderful artists and let them know how much I adore their work. I usually settle for signing their guestbooks and hoping that if they don't speak English, they know someone who does.

(and just in case you're wondering, yes, I hail from the birthplace of Pokkemon and Spirited Away...)

Your English is fantastic! I'm jealous of anyone who is intelligent enough to be bilingual. Me? I can barely cope with the language I was born into, I'm not sure I could handle another one!

Thank you for all your help!

How awful...but I'm glad it didn't tarnish your desire to continue writing. *g*

That's such a nice gesture...!!I'm sure they're all flattered and that they get the message. But if you need any help at all in finding useful sentences to leave etc, do let me know. Would be happy to help!!

Just wanted to say 'thanks muchly' for helping us to get in the other site and for pointing this one out. I've wandered across the 'swivel chair' site before but I hadn't noticed the backdoor into the rps pictures. I'm much obliged for the hint.

I hadn't noticed the backdoor into the rps pictures.

Ah, that's because the artist only left hints in Japanese. As you probably know, we tend to hide RPS or stuff that includes sexual contents in the 'ura'(back) pages and you have to fish around to find clues...
Anyways, I'm glad I delurked!! *g*
Do let me know if you need any assistance in finding the goodies!!

Would you like an LJ code so you can join the community, share the love and participate non-anonymously?

And I am not talented enough to figure out how to get to the artwork even with this aid! Keely, will you help me? *g*

To get to the page,

http://f12.aaacafe.ne.jp/~mumu/under.html > click 'go' to get to the log in page > insert id(first box): 'izumo', password:'october' and click 'ok' > go to 'under gallery' to access the list of illustrations, and click away...

And LJ codes!! Wow, that is soooo generous of you, but English not being my first language, I doubt that I could contribute in terms of SV goodness so perhaps it may be better off in the hands of possible future writers...??

Your English sounds excellent to me and if you wanted to write fic, I am sure we could find you a beta reader. But even if you just wanted to comment and write notes in an LJ and post art links and such, you would be welcome -- just say so here and we'll hunt you up a code!

[keelywolfe.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to donate one, I've got plenty. ^_^

Thank you both of you for your kind words. If I ever muster the courage to write in English, I'll definitely give a holler.
Meanwhile, I'll try to delurk should anyone need assistance in any and all things Japanese. (Probably should leave an e-mail or something, but not sure if that's adequate...)
