In which I have a lot of time on my hands

[effex]

One of the best parts about modding doujin_market is keeping on top of event pick-up service announcements. Like this one: feikoi is offering pick-up for Movies Paradise 14, a western fandom doujinshi + fanzine event. SWEET, RIGHT?

You have to let her know what circles/pairings/books you want, of course, the more information the better. Which is difficult (if you don’t already know what you want and you don’t read Japanese) because the event and circle pages are all in Japanese. Plus many of the circle pages are riddle-locked - you have to solve two riddles and enter them as an ID and password before you can access the site. Yeah.

I used Google Translate and the Japanese Wikipedia to sort through some of the information and figured I might as well share what I’ve got.

Navigating the Movies Paradise 14 site:

Here’s Movies Paradise 14’s main page. To get to the list of attending circles, click ‘参加サークルリスト’ on the navigation bar. This takes you to the circles listed by their last update, which isn’t particularly useful. Click ‘配置順(ジャンル付き)リスト’ at the very top of the page, sixth from the left, to get an expanded list with details about fandoms and pairings (right column). Running things through Google Translate gives pretty good results (though it took me a while to figure out ‘イアント’ is ‘Ianto’ and not ‘client’ like Google insists).

If you click on ‘サークル名順リスト(バナー付き)’ up at the top you get the list of circles + their banner (if they’ve got one).

I mostly worked through Inception and Green Hornet, since those are the fandoms I’m interested in, but if you want help looking through the others (listed below) I’ll do what I can.

List key:

* - website is easy to access
! - website is inaccessible
? - website is riddle locked
x - no website listed

I’ve listed whether a circle is bringing a comic-based book or a fic-based book, plus whether or not the book has porn adult content.

[dusts off hands] Alright, now to figure out what books I actually want... (I'll probably make a list of those too. I like lists. Watch this space.)

Hia,
Your Inception & The Green Hornet links are busted

[effex]

Noooooo, my formatting!

[checks]

Oh my god, GoogleDocs screwed up all of my "". It should be fixed now, give it another try.

[zanzando]

Oh God, oh God, I love hate love you!! *dives in head first*

[effex]

Sometimes you just have to format the information, okay.

[zanzando]

Quit talking sexy at me, I'm trying to solve riddles in Japanese!

[zanzando]

Ugh my kanji are so rusty. I have to look up almost every single one, ha.

[effex]

Pfft, I've just been running them though the translator. Dice's, which I really want to get into, shows as:

取扱いは主に偽/造師×ポイ/ントマ/ンです。
Treatment is mostly false / master structure × point / Ntoma / I application.

パスは偽/造師とポイ/ントマ/ンの名前（半角英字スペース無し）
False path / mentor point structure / Ntoma / The name (no spaces contain letters)

...which, okay, might be why I'm having trouble. There are others that I've almost got, though!

[zanzando]

Ugh, don't we have anyone who speaks Japanese somewhere? Twitter?

I know too many historians, they're totally useless here.

[effex]

The Eames/Cobb circle wants 1) the number of the safe (528491) and 2) 抜き取り屋のトーテム - totems shop extraction? It's supposed to be a 3 digit number, what is it [ponders].

[zanzando]

Maybe the totem in the safe?
