rarewomen is now holding signs ups on LiveJournal here! rarewomen is a multifandom fanfiction exchange designed around rare women in large and small fandoms, with the aim to increase the amount of gen, het, femslash and poly fics featuring these characters. Here's the full list of nominated fandoms and female characters you can choose from.The challenge requires that one of the fandoms you request must be one of their nominated “large” fandoms -- luckily, Hikaru no go counts as one! And there are three fantastic female characters nominated that you can request!
Hikaru no Go: Fujisaki Akari, Kaneko Masako, Nase AsumiA brief summary of these girls:
( Akari, Kaneko and Nase )
Two years ago, we had a meta thread here at
hikarunogo devoted to the female characters in Hikago, where people shared their thoughts about these characters and also left quite a lengthy rec list!( List of recs )
We hope
rarewomen will bring us even more fics for these three women!To celebrate these awesome ladies, the mods would like to declare a LOVE FEST meme!
LOVE MEME
- What are some of the things you like about these characters?
- What are some of your favourite stories featuring these characters?
- Do you have any cool pictures?

Happy Lunar New Year
Jan. 23rd, 2012 12:38 pmqem_chibati
~Happy Lunar New Year~
So as most of us Hikaru no Go fans know, there is occasionally imagery of Tiger Vs Dragon comes up, with Sai saying that Akira had his claws out, and he wondered what kind of claws they would grow up to be.
This is, I feel is part of the set up for epic rivalry, with a build up to Hikaru eventually becoming Akira's destined rival and his opposite. :D
( Image from series~ )
To
Tigers are the eternal rival to the dragon, and are shown in many fighting an epic battle.
In a lot of sports/martial art series/ sports commentators,they use the term Tiger Vs Dragon to describe equal but different rivals.
In Martial Arts, "Dragon style" is used to describe styles of fighting based more on understanding movement, while "Tiger style" is based on brute strength and memorisation of techniques.
The two push each other, as their strength is the other's weakness.
I don't think it was ever explicitly mentioned in the series which one Akira was and consequently as his opposite, who is Hikaru?
So to celebrate the Year of the Dragon, let's discuss which one we think it is here! :D
Some links to previous discussions (I know there are more but can't find them right now)

Help Locating Narration
Jan. 22nd, 2012 06:37 pmloveEdit: A frantic search of my backups turned up the full (not split) file. That will do. *relieved*
Heeding the call to action, I posted my podfic/narration of A Proof By Contradiction to AO3.
Then I realized: the files were all hosted on Megaupload. As you may or may not have heard, Megaupload was taken down.
I do NOT have the original files. The only mirror, which was on private hosting kindly provided by a friend, has since disappeared, too. OH NO. >_<
If anyone has a copy of my narration, I would be VERY GRATEFUL?

Exciting times ahead!
Jan. 22nd, 2012 01:19 pmqem_chibatiAs a fore-note, I just want to say that we the moderators are really super excited about some of the things that we have planned for this year!!! We have a swarm of emails of things we'd like to see. :D One of the hard things is going to be spacing everything out appropriately. (And doing the preparation, XD)
I feel like this year has a lot of Hikago things to look forward to,hostilecrayon has an epic rewatch which is starting the public planning here, but also not just here but with ihikago and blind_go and a bunch of pan fandom thing some of which we mention here... and on that note, care to join the squee/recruitment for hikaru no go for "not prime time" here? :D ? :D ? :D ?
Must be something in the air preparing for the year of the Dragon, preparing for a epic battle ahead~
And one of the other things that I've found exciting in Hikago, is happening on Archive of our own (Ao3), right now! ^_^
( But what do you mean, Bring on the hanyou? )
Eta 2
14 TAKAHASHI Rumiko - Works (439) - That's Ranma 1/2 & Inuyasha!
15 Hikaru no Go (418) - lets Go! GO, GO!!!

Jan. 18th, 2012 12:13 pmtroisroyaumesIn the comments to the last post, qem_chibati pointed out some other panfandom activities and challenges that we could invade bring Hikago to, and I thought they could use some more attention.
Running now
Running on a slightly tighter timescale thanihikago, chromatic_podfic is running its second annual challenge, and any podfics for Hikago will automatically qualify. Sign ups are open now until January 28! (Disclaimer: I mod chromatic_podfic so yes, this is completely self-interested.)
fancake, a themed multifandom recs community, is collecting fic recs with Established Relationships until February 15. There's already been some recs for Hikago, but let's add more! All your favorite "Akira and Hikaru are so married" stories should count.
Coming soon
Porn Battle XIII opens for prompting on January 28...let's try to leave some prompts for our fandom!
And later down the line, there'snot_primetime, a fic exchange for medium-sized fandoms, coming up in April.
In the meanwhile, let us know if there's anything else going on we should be linking to!

Jan. 11th, 2012 12:18 pmtroisroyaumesqem_chibati posting reminded me that I have not really done a good job of keeping the community active. But since there are a lot more people being active on Dreamwidth nowadays, I'd like to make a renewed attempt. ^^Last year, people mentioned being interested in having more rec posts on this comm, and so we collected our favorite fics of 2010. This year, how about all of the members of the comm rec themselves? Are there fics, fanart, FSTs, podfics, etc. that you've made that you're especially proud of? Share them here!

Jan. 11th, 2012 08:08 pmqem_chibatiI was recently thinking about this issue*, so I found it really interesting, looking at the latest xkdc comic, where it talks about the difficulty of games for computers, where it positioned Go and I though others might find it interesting too.

Meta thread: Symbolism in Hikaru no Go
Apr. 27th, 2011 08:30 amtroisroyaumesApologies for having fallen off the community activity bandwagon, but I thought that three_weeks_for_dw would be a good opportunity to get back on.
"Symbolism" was the meta topic that garnered the most votes in the poll I posted a while ago, so let's talk about symbolism in the series!
Some topics for discussion:
- Hikaru imagining the go board as the universe and the stones as stars
- tiger vs. dragon imagery to represent Hikaru and Akira's rivalry
- Sai using swordsmanship as a metaphor for playing go
- Hikaru's fan
- symbols used in Obata's art for the series (artbook scans, new complete editions)*
- character descriptors from the new complete editions (Hikaru = "the heir", Sai = "the ghost", Akira = "the seeker", Kaga = "the vagabond", Tsutsui = "the founder", Mitani = "the stray cat", Akari = "the neighbor", Waya = "the senior-apprentice", Ogata = "the prophet", Suyeong = "the pursuer", Isumi = "the wanderer", Ochi = "the little king", Touya Kouyou = "the master", Kurata = "the monster", Kuwabara = "the elder", Yang Hai = "the talent", Ashiwara = "the optimist", Nase = "the challenger", Yashiro = "the boldest", Zhao Shi = "the naturalist", Yeongha = "the pride", Shouji & Oka = "the buddies")
- is Sai's fear of frogs symbolic?
- is go itself symbolic?
- symbolic importance of any of these catchphrases: "the new wave", "room of profound darkness", "hand of god"
- theme of identity vs. anonymity/pseudonymity: NetGo, Sai as Hikaru's "shadow", Akira/Ogata/Touya Kouyou attempting to uncover Sai's "real" identity
- parallels in storyline, e.g. cheating by both Sai's rival at court and Mitani
- names as symbols, e.g. Hikaru, Akira and Akari all associated with "light"
- theme of tradition vs. modernity: clothes, Sai possessing Hikaru, "connecting the past to the future"
Feel free to jump in with discussion topics of your own!
* Anyone have links to scans from the second artbook, Blanc et Noir?
