A section devoted to light novels
I thought it would be nice if there's going to be a section devoted to light novels under the anime related topics... Just a suggestion though. n_n

So far, most of the light novels people have been interested in were for series that had their own subforums (Haruhi, Spice&Wolf, Toradora, etc).
And there are a few threads in the Manga subforum that are actually light novel series I think. But I agree that adding a Light Novel subforum should be considered eventually since there are a growing number of titles both licensed and fan-translated starting to float around in the market. |

How about renaming the current Manga section to Manga & Novels.

For now, I would think tab it woud be better to rename the Manga sub-forum.
We don't have enough novel treat not already affiliate with a sub-forum ( ex Haruhi, Toradora etc) for necessiting a Novel Sub-form. |

However, one thing I'd want in a light novel subforum though is a thread devoted to pointing out novels that might be worth reading in japanese or translating into english, though :) In the meantime, renaming the "dead tree" format subforum is probably the easiest course for the site administrators. |

Someone could start such thread in the manga sub-forum, no? |

It's increasingly difficult to navigate since there are some titles for both Manga and light novel. Making the situation worse is that spin-offs can go both ways where manga is first with a light novel spin-off or visa versa.
In some cases I notice that manga and light novel is discussed in the same thread because it is under the same franchise making it further difficult to read through. |

I agree with tri-ring ... as we get more and more "light novel"also"manga" combos - its going to get more difficult to sort discussion as well unless there's a standardized protocol for naming threads (-> Karin (light novel) and Karin (manga) as one particular example). That seems more cumbersome and prone to error than having just two subforums. As no moderators have commented, I guess I'll poke a few and see what they say. |
Right now I would prefer to add a user accessible thread prefix set (like naming but a little less prone to error), that identifies which dead-tree format the thread is about, because I the volume of threads still doesn't justify a whole forum in my opinion. If it doesn't work too well or we decide a new forum sub-forum is required, the threads can be moved on-mass later.

Sounds lovely... :)

Generally, I think if a series had a spin-off thread it should be immediately merged into the originator thread and kept like that. Whichever format had a thread first would become the only destination for the series - and if people argue, you can always just move the entire thread to the "proper" section. |
A Series-Tag can be created, the tag then used in the name of a series prefix and the thread title can be the format of the incarnation (in other words completly backwards to what was suggested above).
Example Manga section: Some Series: Light Novel Some Series: Manga Fansubbed/Unaired/Licensed section: Some Series: Tv (2009) Some Series: Tv Season 2 (2009) Some Series: OVA (2009) Some Series: Lalalala-some-season-name (2010) Games section: Some Series: PS3 Game Some Series: PC Game Fan Creation: Some Series: Image Thread Some Series: Avatar Requests This system would be a little bit better then actually having novel:, manga: because:

Well, we have enough topics to fill 2 pages worth of a LIGHT NOVEL sub-forum.
I for one would LOVE if AnimeSuki would have one. Cause honestly, as Kagami from Lucky Star would put it, the two are completely different from eachother, and thus I think they should have their own section. I realize that there aren't alot of threads, but I certainly would love to be able to go to a specific place to chat about light novels, and not be bothered by manga discussions. -Matt |
