LoneWolf's Projeckt MUSE

Thank you for sharing the latest on LoneWolf. I've only spoken (via email) to LoneWolf one time; she seemed very down to earth. I must ask this newb question though, what was the final ShizNat related project she did? Fanart, blog mention, whatever.

OSOM was my favourite work. For anyone not familiar with her work, you can visit http://www.lw-concepts.com/fanart/.

Too bad that LW won't continue working on OSOM.
She also deleted the couple of fics she had at FF.net
A great loss for the ShizuNatsu fandom.

It is sad, but part of her role with the organization was to promote ShizNat. At least that's what she's suggested. It is beautiful work, and it is a shame OSOM was never finished, but she had her reasons for it.

From what I've gathered during our brief talk in early 2010, LW actually worked for Bandai Entertainment. She even provided me with the reason why Shizuru Fujino and Shizuru Viola were given "southern belle" accents.

She even posted some time ago some sketches for the Code Geass box-set.

And I'd like to know the reason to that Luu, would you mind sharing?

Sure! Here is what she said and I quote:

The reason Shizuru's southern accent even exists in the domestic adaptation is because we at Bandai (I'm a former Bandai employee) realize that Kyoto is country-ish area.

Everything is slower and laid back in the Kansai region compared to Metro Tokyo and this is why US Producer Taku Otsuka, had suggested a southern accent.

It's the best representation for Kyoto-natives. Now, I noticed fans were hoping or expecting something along the lines of something more "British" but seriously...this would only further deviate from what Kyoto really is. Another misconception is that the Kyoto dialect is "proper." This is indeed incorrect as Kyoto-ben is found to be a much more soft-spoken dialect and respectable but it's not considered proper "keigo."
