You can count me in for that.

I am interested if you want i have a decent knowledge base on how PR could go about gathering information regarding public opinion.Quite a while ago, I had an idea for a tangentially related Kancolle story. Instead of being entirely about the ships, it would have been about the Public Relations people working to keep public opinion on their side. The ones who have to convince the public that these kids are actually destroyers and are perfectly okay with going out to fight, and how they have to deal with antics. Unfortunately, nothing ever came of it, and it's sat idly in my Google Docs collecting digital dust. If anyone's interested, just let me know.

A pretty solid start. I like it.Now you must fight for succession!
Here's the entirety of what I have. It's nearly nothing, though.
I called it Memories from The Marina, because it's a great place for swapping sailor stories."The war seems like an eternity ago now. We've all seen the books talking about how the signs were there, about how we could have seen the War coming. I can't really form an opinion on that, since I wasn't anywhere near the intelligence division at the time. Like a lot of these stories, it starts with just another regular person, this time, in an office. I worked for a advertising company, which made pharmaceutical commercials, you know the ones, with the mile-long list of side effects worse than what the pills or patches take care of. They need to sell. So, when the war started, a lot of us were laid off quite suddenly. Companies weren't getting cheap drugs from Germany and China anymore, and thus didn't need advertisements for them."
Not much, is it? I never even got to the meat of the story.
So, I know I put Memories from the Marina up for adoption, but I had an idea wriggling in the back of my mind for about two days. And I sat and typed it out this evening.
Just had a silly stupid thought that I lack the time for, and so will drop here for anyone else interested: The Zuikakus from Kancolle, Warship Girls, Azur Lane, and Apeggio Of Blue Steel all meet up somehow, and shenanigans ensue.
Contingency said:While we're not at liberty to publicly discuss our upcoming projects, I can certainly say there are several in this region being considered, including more here in the Philippines in the coming months & years ahead.
We have found all 5 of the former IJN ships sunk in the Surigao Strait; Yamashiro, Fuso, Yamagumo, Michishio & Asagumo. Additional survey images, photos and videos of our exploration and discovery work is forthcoming.
Regarding identification of the wrecks here in Surigao Strait. We have discovered all 5 of the IJN shipwrecks sunk in the Surigao Strait. In time, we will release an illustration providing an overview of the wrecks discovered. The wrecks have been classified and identified based on their physical features and characteristics. However, positive identification of the wrecks Yamagumo and Michishio is unanswered and will need further study by historians. Yamashiro, Fuso and Asagumo are identifiable based on class of ship and their geography.
These wrecks as previously mentioned are in poor physical condition. They were damaged severely during the battle, their sinking and 73 years in relatively shallow water has contributed significantly to their degradation. The environment they rest in is consuming them and has provided a flourishing artificial reef abundant with marine life.
We will continue to work with National Museum of the Philippines and local government officials to ensure these monuments remain anonymous, preserved and protected as cultural heritage of the Philippines.
That's an odd question. Shipgirls are manifestations of their hulls, most of which are already gone, on the other hand, there are examples in KHR of beings without bodies having flames, a dying will which can outlive the body. But if shipgirls have normal(ish) flames, I'd think they'd probably be as varied as with humans in KHR (that is to say, mostly tied to their personality).For those who might be experts in Katekyô Hitman Reborn who are also fans of KanColle, I have a question: What sort of Dying Will Flames (if any) would a shipgirl - specifically Pola and Zara - possess? Much less the other Italian shipgirls?
Reason I ask this is that in The Seventh Shipgirl, I make note of the fact that Pola and Zara are both affiliated with the Chiavarone Family; some of their crew when they were sunk at Cape Matapan were relatives of Flame-active members of the Chiavarone. Once they were summoned as shipgirls, both would develop Dying Will Flames. What would fit them?

As for Zara and Pola; I think Pola might be either a Lightning or a Storm (headstrong, never going to change herdrinking habitways, depending on how you take her motto). As for Zara, I'm hesitant to say it for sure, but I think she'd probably be a Sky.
I think the only example in KHR is Lal Mirch and she only accessed her other Flames after her failed Acrobaleno transformation blocked her normal Rain flames.Thanks for the reply. Having read about flames (both in the KHR wiki and in several fanfics), I would believe Sky flames would be either a primary or secondary type with all shipgirls (crews working in harmony and shipgirls also being the synergic expression of all people who had been affiliated with their construction and service). Are multiple flame types possible or is that some fanon convention?

As for shipgirls always having Sky flames... No, while it takes a crew working in harmony to make a ship work, I don't think that really should translate over to their new forms like that. Some shipgirls just aren't harmonious. On the other hand, there might be some other effects, like maybe shipgirl flames are better about clicking with each other and working together even without a Sky present?
Given her quotes I'd guess Rain. She seems to be rather reactive as opposed to active, and how she seems to dislike being the center of attention.

Would anyone be interested in a KanColle /Sunless Sea/Lovecraft mix? Already started it and I am 750 words in. Still mostly world building at this point and there are a few details I am working out slowly. Both main worlds are built. Got the backstory, species, beginning plot, supporting characters (a few at least for the start, The US command structure and kanmatsu are complete.), fleshed out the mechanics mostly. I am unsure of some things in the Sunless Sea part. Mostly materials, tech and magic. Though I can assure you they will be somewhat insane and make sense... somehow. Well I will have to build up the cultures more for that and it is unimportant for the beginning.
Let me know your thoughts.
First complete blurb I have:
The Sunless Battleship
San Diego, California
June 6, 2023
The whine of the summoning equipment wound down squealing over the last echoes of the music that was sung to bring back America's shipgirls. For the last two years America had reeled under the assault of the Abyssals. Attacking all ships, they slowly destroyed the world's fleets. In response to prayers of protection shipgirls started appearing in Japan and soon after in Britain. Yet America has had few shipgirls arrive: a few light cruisers and a handful of destroyers. Out of the countless attempts of getting a shipgirl to come forth this would only be the seventh successful one. If it was successful.
The lights cut out, drenching the pool in darkness. Captain Damien Gorden felt the temperature drop, sweat growing chillingly cold in the frigid air. This was not normal. None of the summonings had ever had something like this. Whimpering started from the crowd that had gathered here to sing and welcome a new shipgirl into the Navy. The air moved like a sea breeze, yet wrongly. Lethargically it moved, bringing a sense of dread that pooled in the mind and dripped down the spine.
This should not be happening. It could not. Quickly before the fear gripped him any further Captain Gordon snapped for light. Yet he should not have asked for that. For in the air floating as if strapped to a table was a shipgirl. They were successful. But the light was wrong. The beams of light from the sailors glowed a baleful yellow, striking the wisps of greenish air that lifted off the now flat black oily water of the pool. The shipgirl moaned a sound like bending steel and snapped taught in invisible bindings.
The sailors moved quickly to help her not understanding what was happening yet were driven off by the noxious smell of the water which could closely be seen to be seen the sickening color of shipgirl bloodoil. Yet before any could recover from that the shipgirl spoke. Looking straight at the assembled sailors who would later swear her eyes glowed an eerie brilliant blue, but to all video evidence showed bottomless pits of darkness.
The sea does not forget.
The sea does not forgive.
And her invisible chains dragged her blindingly fast down into the bloodoil pool. Leaving no ripple on the surface of her passing.
