a few questions abut visual novels.

[Nox]

Because that would make me look like a pretentious grammar nazi?

[Drahken]

No, no more so than not capitalizing names makes people look like (whatever the opposite of a grammar nazi is), not unless you made a big fuss about it. If you simply do it, then it just looks like you did it out of habit, or didn't notice that said person's nick wasn't capitalized. (...And it's far better than using a different name. Even when the person doesn't object to the other name, using it will cause confusion among those who only know the person's other nick.)

[Nox]

I see. Fair enough. Although I'll just go with "the owner" from now on. I find the clinical approach is the most efficient method of dealing with such things. Hopefully, that will keep me out of trouble in the future.

this is flat out bizarre. you'd rather type 'the owner' instead of 'sothis', which is less characters, and how i purposefully chose to write my name?

[Nox]

Yes. I am strange and off-putting.

As for Visual Novels being added to the site, I think it was requested a number of times already and denied each time (I haven't read every one of those threads so I'm not 100% sure). You could search this subforum for "Visual Novels" keyword and see what was the answer yourself.

You can (as jahu mentioned) use the blogs to post reviews of visual novels (or anything else).

You could also post reviews of visual novels on the forum, although the most appropriate subsetion would be a bit of a puzzle. They could certainly be placed in either the general discussion section or the entertainment section.

Thank you for the replies, i think it'd be best to avoid posting the reviews on the forums, I might however look at creating a thread to archive/link to the reviews once i have a few of the reviews completed so that a forum search for Visual Novels would bring more traffic to my reviews, I could also use the thread to announce upcoming reviews, the reviews themselves i will either post as blogs if they have no connection to anime or do a comparison within the anime review using tags appropriately and leaving a small introduction to explain that the review is not solely anime based seems like the best course of action.

Maybe another thing I could look at in the long term is a Visual Novel Fan Club as there is no database for Visual Novels and there are others on Anime-Planet that share my interest in VN's ^^

*Hereby dubs thee "The Owner Formerly Known As Sothis".*
