Petition for Saya No Uta. It's a horror story. The only girl who could possibly be underage based on her art style (though even that is hard to tell, she has a younger character design than the other, twentysomething characters, but that's it), is an Eldritch Abomination whose human form is only hallucinated by the insane protagonist. The three short sex scenes that happen with her in them are played for horrifying effect based on her being a monster, not for wank-material. It's officially licensed in the USA.

  • Last post on Stay Night and Kodomo No Jikan further posts about either work will be thumped.
  • Last post for Saya no Uta further posts about the work will be thumped.

Never mind. Didn't see the posts above. I was going through the cut list and got attacked by ninjas.

Considering that that was the first and only post about Saya No Uta, perhaps the OP could be edited to say that works that have a post should not be posted again?

Good idea, but I don't think I would dare edit FE's post.

Just list the page title once, please.

Emphasis mine. It's already there - just point at the OP.

On a related note, can we make a list somewhere of already-posed things? Otherwise, this thread will get a lot of duplicates by people not reading it entirely. [hopefully still on-topic]

Yes, you may make a list. That is a very good idea. Thank you!

I wasn't sure it had been cut (now that I think about it, it's sort of the cause o this, right?) Anyway, I kind of wish that Naughty Tentacles would be restored, and would be ok with the page itself being locked and exampleless, but examples could be added to respective work pages.

It's a very common motif (compare Vagina Dentata), and is something often lampshaded/played for laughs, sometimes in connection with the (also cut) All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles- which itself should be restored.

For example, Babylon Five gets some humor out of the fact that the tentacles the Centauri have are actually their genitals. Part of the joke is simply that the species initially pretended to be Human Aliens, but really aren't.

@Blackcat: You could always ask him (for permission) to edit it — in this case, make the relevant sentence in boldface so that it stands out to the reader.

[up][up] At the moment I think NT is completely off-limits by Google fiat. I agree it would be nice to have it back, but we need their money more than we need that page.

OK, tried to compile a list of all works that have been petitioned here:

[up][up]About that, have Google been questioned about what exactly the problem was? That particular page didn't even had the Google adds, right? It is not even about having NT back, but knowing why they took their decision would be helpful to decide what we can and what we can not do.

[down]Fair enough. I will take it there.

[down][down]Yeah, I get it, sorry. You are a bit late with the warning, though.tongue

@Heatth: That's a topic for the Content Policy Change thread.

[up][up] Might need a little reording in terms of priority, like grouping Fate Stay Night with Fate Hollow Ataraxia together.

Let's keep this page limited to petitions for pages to be restored please. Discussions about Google can go somewhere else.

I'm seeing a lot of repeats. Should I take them out?

Catbert Since: Jan, 2012
#194: Apr 16th 2012 at 5:04:16 PM

[up]Those are subpages, not repeats, and don't mess with the list if you don't know that much.

Do you mean repeats within the sandbox page or repeats between the sandbox page and the list started on this thread?

Perhaps we should use the SubpageNamespace.Work format to clarify?

[up] Or maybe do something like this:

  • Main Page
    • Subpage 1
    • Subpage 2

@Nocturna: Thanks a bunch for the list. This will help greatly.

Agree with the subpoint formatting, but if there's only one subpage, does it violate our policy on example indentation?tongue
