Reamed tenfold

botchii's a hungry MFer.

That's the name of the approval bot of MiniTokyo that either announces that I have been given membership, or (more frequently) if a submission I sent to MiniTokyo has been deleted. What surprised me the past few days was that out of about 14 submissions (monochrome and color scans) that have been submitted to Minitokyo, only four of them survived the first 24 hours of being posted.

Actually, one of those four is still going through the first 24 hours of being posted. Now, let's be honest: the moderators at MiniTokyo are looking for quality submissions that have been uploaded and deserve to stay on MT for the long haul. On MT, I am known as Hachiko, and on AnimePaper, another site I frequent, they know me as jsalazar.

As Hachiko, I have been a proud member of MT for over three years, and I have seen members come and members go. But based on the bad news from that hungry botchii, I have made a startling, yet eye-opening discovery: Galaxy Angel as a manga is not providing consistent excellent hi-quality scan opportunities. Contrary to the submissions from Galaxy Angel 3rd Volume 2, Volume 4 is proving to be more miss and less hit. The only ones the mods on MT are looking for to stay are full page monochrome sketches, and color scans that feature the characters shown in the full.

Regardless, as of now, I have posted over a hundred scans on MT, to go with a wallpaper and several doujins, and a bevy of credits that followed. But I compare to the process at MiniTokyo to an American Idol audition: only a select few can go through to the next round, while the majority will be sent home.

Not that I have any complaints about a majority of my recent self-scanned monochrome submissions being removed. The last thing I want is botchii to munch up my entire gallery of contributions to MiniTokyo. All the hard work..eaten, eaten.

Bloody hell.
