Death Note News Editor Feedback on our Reader Survey and Other Updates

9/5/2016

2 Comments

 
Many thanks to all who took the time to voice their thoughts on Death Note News' Month of... feature. In addition to airing viewpoints on various items relating to the running of the site, and how we deliver content to you, via the completion of last month's reader survey.

All comments have now been read. Some whilst blushing and feeling suddenly very coy; others forming a cringing addendum to our discussion agenda and/or directly onto a lengthening To Do list.  All were very helpful and wonderfully appreciated upon receipt.

There were a few pointers requiring acknowledgement, answers, action or announcements, including the results of who will be featured at the centre of future Death Note Month of... events. I'm here to bring you fully into the loop.

Known Issues, Omissions and Pointers for the Death Note News Website

Death Note Mello and Matt
First the problematic parts, or things to be actioned here, to get them out the way:
  • Feedly RSS reader isn't picking up news articles very well - Matti to look into it;
  • Death Note TV drama analyses were never finished - another one for Matti;
  • Articles on Death Note News should clearly differentiate between canon fact/fanon speculation, particularly those submitted for Month of... features, which tend towards the theoretical - added to agenda for editorial meeting;
  • Comment on the Matsuda theory article proved canonically impossible the one re Near controlling Mello via a Death Note. The article should be altered, or a note added within the write-up, to reflect this - Orangepunch to do;
  • Not clear in the FAQ how one might join the Death Note News team - answer below, plus Matti to add to the FAQ.

Hopefully we didn't miss any and you're happy with the actions!  Please do leave a comment below, if you have views to add to anything highlighted above, or spot something which didn't make the list.

How to Join the Death Note News Team

Contact the Death Note News Team
Ask.  We're always good for welcoming new writers, or other talented folk, into our team.  If it's a regular column that you wish to pursue, then hunt down Matti to discuss what you have in mind.  Either way, our contact page has a plethora of ways to contact us.  In this instance, an email (via the form) is probably best.

Whatever Happened to Those Voice Actor Interviews We Were Promised?

Everything has been collated, tidied up, formatted and emailed to the requisite Death Note actors.  Each acknowledged receipt of the questions and indicated their intent to answer as many as possible.
  • Brad Swaile has since sent his apologies for the delay. Life has suddenly become very busy for him, and there ARE rather a lot of questions that were asked.  He does still plan to return his answers eventually.  Until then it's a patience Padawain moment.
  • Sergio Zamora was full of enthusiasm and beginning to work through them last we checked.  We're slightly afraid that we've overwhelmed him along the way. No reason to believe that we won't get his responses back sooner or later.
  • Kim Hasper is currently exchanging emails with our German language translator, Jo Coburn. Unfortunately he MAY have to drop out.
  • Vincent Tong is a complete sweetheart, who gave up an hour of his life to answer questions asked by us on your behalf.  We have it in the bag.  Well, hard-drive.  It could go up right now, if only the sole Death Note News team-member with any skill in video editing would stop getting ill and edit the video instead.  We hold out hope that it will happen sometime this week. Poor love recorded it weeks ago, while the monthly focus was still upon his character Touta Matsuda! Sorry, Vincent.
Vincent Tong interview for Death Note News

The lovely smile of Vincent Tong, all unknowing that he'd be waiting over a month for Death Note News to actually feature his interview!
In short, we're confident that all (but possibly one) remain winging their respective ways to us and will be made public quickly thereon.

Results of the Reader Survey Regarding the Month of... Feature

Death Note L Reading TV drama
We're already three days late with Month of Misa.  Nine, if you count the original intention for it to begin on the first of May and continue through to its end.

However, it appears from the responses given in the reader survey that none of you are too worried about things like that.

You'd rather have well-written articles with every contributor's work included, than any strict adherence to the dates.

You also almost unanimously fed back that one topic per month is perfect; running them bimonthly not at all a welcome suggestion (mostly because momentum would be lost); and you're happy with how we're choosing the subject of each focus thus far.

That said, there were some great ideas thrown into the mix too.  One person thought it might be nice to choose the topics a month or two in advance via readers' poll.
Another individual thought having a 'what if' month would be interesting, as in 'what would have happened to the characters if Light Yagami hadn't received his Death Note, thus the Kira case never occurred?'   I have to say that my imagination has been running overtime in pondering, since reading it posed there.  But could we pull off a whole month of it?   Probably.  Maybe another format would work better.  It's one of those added to the staff agenda for mulling over.

Nearly all of you indicated that yes, you would like to see a Month of... focus being the forthcoming Death Note movie, released at the end of October 2016.  Of those, one person voted for November to be the ideal month.  The rest of you didn't mind, as long as it happens.

All excepting the single respondent who said no full stop to that and indeed everything about the Month of... events.  He/she really didn't like it and wished it would go away.  Your views have been read and noted.  Thank you for them.  Unfortunately, you were outvoted by your peers.

Everything in, it was overwhelmingly positive and extremely helpful.   Even the person who hated the feature told us nicely!  And we were really pleased with the wide array of places where people are finding Death Note News. Particularly as one source was apparently the Archangel Mello pointing this way with his fiery sword.

As for the one who asked if being in the Mello/Matt fandom counts - YES!  Yes, it does.  Most important part of the whole Death Note fandom Mello and Matt.  Though I might be biased, given what I write.

Forthcoming Characters to be Featured in Death Note News Month of... Focus

Lots of fabulous suggestions here.  We had Mello, Beyond Birthday, Mikami, Sayu, ALL live-action tellings together, L, Shingami (collectively), Naomi Misora, the LABB murders, and the movie thumbs up for a month closer to the release date.

We've decided to start with the one garnering the most votes in that survey.  Admittedly to the mild surprise of all here, though we're game for everything. Bring it on!   Therefore I can announce that June and July look like this, with more made public when we've finished tatting with the list:
Month of Naomi Misora on Death Note News

Coming June 2016

Ms Misora not only received the most votes overall, but she also managed to beat Beyond Birthday by a single point. Hence the surprise.  Then again she does make quite a habit of thwarting of poor BB at the last minute!
Go Naomi!  You won your month, fair and square.
Death Note News Mikami Month

Coming July 2016

Mr Mikami's high rating in the straw poll of suggestions was less surprising. We already hold in waiting two pieces of content about him, submitted by different readers, both long before he'd even been considered for a Month of... feature!
By tomorrow, we should have their submission and questionnaire pages up and ready.  In the meantime, do feel free to send in things using generic tools for contributing content, or mentally amending questions pertaining to another character asked of Death Note fans writing, creating art or donning cosplay.

Also by tomorrow, we should actually start Death Note News' Month of Misa Amane.  Three items in already.  Get a head start on the crowds by chucking in any relevant content now.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com
