On a different note, Kancolle fics that deal with romance between the kanmusu and/or the admiralty or other humans assisting them in a believable way?

Well yeah, the Abyssal classes are explicitly named after that: I, Ro, and Ha being the most basic and common classes encountered.

Peripheral: Today is Haruna's launching (14-12-1913). Wikipedia's Facebook page honored her as their historical event of the day.
With the coming of jets, I wonder if they will start including more prototype things and post war things.
The R2Y Keiun only got a prototype made that was a prop plane, which never exited its testing stage due to lack of time, money, and fuel and so never performed that well due to lack of development. With more time and money, maybe it could have been great.
In this game, the Keiun is a great multi role aircraft, and can also be a jet, which was only a proposal, no finalized blueprints were made.
Could we see this like a Taiho Expanded Project, like the World of Warships carrier that is named Hakuryu?
They could start pulling out blueprint designs that actually had some basic design work started, or even simply proposals with only intended objectives, assigning them a name, and making them.
A lot of proposal designs from every nation would have crazy stats, though once they entered the design and engineering phase a lot of unforeseen issues like real world physics might require the proposals exiting their final design phase looking less like a super weapon due to having to give up a lot of their ambitious objectives, though still impressive.
Or perhaps, going into post-war designs.
There's a few post war designs that were prototyped or just proposed when the war was going on.
Some post war light carrier designs for example were actually superior to war era fleet carrier designs. Better compartmentalization durability, damage control systems, and trained crew making them more durable.
Better plane count for their size. A lot of experimental carriers during the war misused their space. Well, the space wasn't really wasted, but simply used for trial and error testing. Experimental testbeds to see what design was optimal.
A post war carrier with things like angled side deck, open hanger vents, side elevator, and a modern flight control with better sensor and communication would also be able to put up a strike force in minutes what a early war era carrier would take hours.
Maybe that could be represented by an extra phase of air strikes or attacks? Better accuracy and volume of fire could be symbolized with extra attacks or other in game mechanisms.
The issue with going into post war designs is that there weren't really German, Italian, Japanese, and other Axis nation post war designs until past the 1950s, sometimes far past the 1950s. So there's a more limited selection to choose from and less variety.
A Japanese design tree could be filled out with proposal designs, picking back up again in the late 1900s and 2000s.
So I think they might not go into post war designs due to the trouble finding information on things like that.

Kancolle actually has had something of a stern implementation between paper and historical for a while now.
In terms of ships, they stick to vessels that are at least floating and nearly complete (hence, Graf Zeppelin and Aquila), and then let their imaginations wild with any remodels, e.g. the Fusou-class Kai Ni's or the Shoukaku-class Kai Ni's. However, the common thread is that they have never introduced ships that didn't actually exist, therefore no stuff like Montanas or the Kii class.
On the other hand, Kancolle has always gone wild with paper equipment, for example the Sextuple Torpedo Mount that was never actually built, and of course the 51cm guns meant for the so-called "Super Yamato". So them using the paper versions of jets that have never existed isn't unprecedented in Kancolle.

Would under the above criteria on ships allow, for example, the introduction of Ibuki either as a CA or a CVL (as she was converted), and Sparviero? Because I am seriously considering to introduce them in TWSF.

Kancolle Style volume three has been published, and with it comes a new interview with game director Kensuke Tanaka. Mostly it was nothing new, and we already see the images of Sara's rigging details posted earlier, but here are some highlights.

Dear SV, I haven't been around in a while, but I come with Kancolle related questions.
There might be a western port - or more likely pirated version and scam - of Kancolle with GoGames.
I say this because there are certain things that are off about it. For one, there are pictures of girls who aren't part of the standard Kancolle lineup on the registry and main internet pages and the logo is altered. Tenryuu - the only one I can identify, is in a different pose and outfit. In the youtube video that's been put on the Kancolle Wiki, http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/File:KanColle-Cool_free_battle_game_(gogames.me), they reveal other things, like the car for Ding Yuan - which is apparently a Chinese ironclad even if the card claims it's a BB. The background on the cards look different, the scouting plane as part of the battle sequence looks like a MiG instead of a float plane, additional units include Zhi Yuan - another Chinese Cruiser, Varyag who has a flight deck - which probably makes her the Soviet CV Riga which was renamed Varyag and eventually sold to the Chinese PLAN, and Ding Yuan's sister ship Zhen Yuan. Oh, and apparently Northern Princess is obtainable if the list they show in the video is correct along with a number of other Chinese warships and Dreadnought, Sacramento, and others. The list identifies the CV on the sign up page as Ark Royal and confirms that the reasonably dressed, glasses wearing possible battleship with a 61 on her vest beneath her suit coat-esque top is Iowa. This version of Iowa is also central to the logo.
The forum is full of moon runes and broken English if that. The few articles I've found related to this have been nonsensical. I have not been able to find any information on GoGames.me other than .me being the current domain code for Yugoslavia.
SV, my googlefu is not the strongest, can you tell me how hard they're trying to scam us?

Per my answer on SB:
VERY HARD. I'm surprised that version is still alive. That is 100 percent fake. Do not play it, do not support it in any way. KanColle is only hosted on dmm.com.
The last time this happened, a bootleg chinese server hosted an entire ripoff version of KC, like 100% copy paste. When discovered, the Chinese part of the fandom then took matter to their own hands and ddos'd that pirate server repeatedly.

Only speaking for myself, I believe that as a CVL, Ibuki could be summoned as she was sufficiently advanced in construction to have equipping officers assigned and therefore in fact a crew.

Thanks for the insight! As for Sparviero, I have decided that since Aquila is in, there's no reason she can't . So she'll be in my story as well.

Well, didn't take too long for me to start getting interested in KC after picking Arpeggio and World of Warships up...
Now here I am gnawing on the idea of a reborn Arizona (using the plot idea of many Ship Girls being reincarnated) as America's first Ship Girl.
Perhaps in the defense of Pearl Harbor (and the as-yet still a ship ship Missouri).

Tom106's latest animated music video is up. You may remember him from the Ooi/Kitakami and Akagi videos.
It features Satsuki and the Mutsuki-class in general. Yes it is a bit generic-looking at the beginning but by the second half it became something more. It references Satsuki's Captain's sword, which can be seen in her Kai-2 rigging. It also features an interesting idea on how tanks may be used by shipgirls (I am so stealing that) and animated appearances of Ancient Destroyer hime and Lycoris Hime.

The stuff by @Sheo Darren is excellent. Updates are a tad on the sporadic side, but the man can deliver. Best places to start with him would be Tsun Silent, Tsun Deep and Eternity, followed by New Ironsides.

So one thing I've been wondering about
What's the deal with Shigure? It seems she's really really popular, but I can't quite tell why, or get a read on her personality from the fanworks I've seen with her in them, and all the wiki offered was something about PTSD over Night Battles. Could someone here explain her better?

There are others like this? Sweet.

Shigure is the last survivor of the disastrous Battle of Surigao Strait, in which all other Japanese ships were wiped out, including her own unit, the Nishimura Fleet: Fusou, Yamashiro, Mogami, Michisio, Asagumo, and Yamagumo. For this reason they are often depicted in a quasi-familial relationship, one of the most famous examples in KanColle where ships that served together either for long periods or on a significant event gets depicted as a family.
The same artist above has a video on them:
Danbooru pool 9549 is focused on them.

It's basically the codifier or originator of a lot of the common themes you see in English speaking KC works. You kmow all those tired Kancolle fanfic cliches? They're only cliches because GG did thm so well at the start.
There's also @ColdGoldLazarus 's new story, which you could ask them about. They're n the thread right now, I guess. @CV12Hornet has their fic Red in Tooth and Claw (Kantai Collection), and the Things no longer allowed involving ship girls.(kancolle/kantai collection) has a lot of snips in the threadmarks by the same.

There are a few posters on this page with KC wiritng projects, like @ARBITRACOM . Check their signatures!

Shigure also had quite an interesting life during the Guadalcanal campaign under Hara's command. She lost no crew miraculously during the campaign and was responsible for quite a bit of damage too.
That said, Hara was transferred to a shore facility after the campaign and only during Ten-Go would he command a ship again, Yahagi.

So... I noticed that Anime America had a KanColle review and looked at it. It was literally all of two minutes long, if that, and Robyn stated that it was full of moe and was Strike Witches with boats. The rest was her stating other series she wanted to review at the start of the video and getting shot down as they were "Called" or just wasting time with things like making "Spoofs".
Yeah.
Why they even bothered to make it is beyond me...
