おまけに

As I've noted before, each of Projects AnthraXX, Artificer, and Homuncupunk has at least one long background story of at least one secondary character that is unnecessary and too vast to fit into the storyline without breaking it up. (I can't for the life of me remember what I said I thought up about background in Maddie's Maids, which proves the inefficiency of my system.) If I ever actually publish graphic novels of the series, they would make good extras for those who are willing to pay for what will theoretically be available on the Web for free. The ones for AnthraXX and Homuncupunk would contain spoilers, so they'd have to be held back to certain points in the series, and all are long enough to be divided between the backs of several volumes.

For bonus material in other volumes, I have ideas such as (no bullets because they format badly in various styles):
※Author/illustrator interviews
※Author/illustrator's commentary
※Character profiles
※Lists of allusions for readers to try to identify (perhaps with rewards)
※Popularity contests (characters, items, abilities, etc.)
※Setting background (including the now-sprawling chart of departments and leadership of the Mikazuki Corporation)

Actual illustrations, including design sketches and extra pics, should be saved for [info]daily_yuri exclusives, as thanks to my most belovèd community, since that's what you're required to post there. Maps would be an exception, as they're reasonably essential to understand the stories. In any case, I really need to get drawing.
