Whatever happened to YQ 1?

I'm going to be away from the weekend (i.e. now), so I scheduled this filler.

First off, I got a mail from Kaya and she said that she should be able to get back to editing in a couple of weeks, meaning new chapters of Ochiru Tenshi! Sorry for the long delay, the script for chapter 06 is and has been ready for a while, and Kaya starts with the editing on it as soon as possible.

Several people has been asking about the story behind the name "YQII", here it is:

About 2½ years ago, information about a third Smash Bros game to the Wii started to flourish (JAPAN TIME anyone?). Being the Smash fag I am, it kind of forced me into considering getting a new console. I wasn't really interested in games back then, nor am I today (with the exception of Guitar Hero), so I started pondering if it was really worth getting a console.

Not knowing what's hot anymore in the game scene, I browesed around for some time to look up games that seemed decent (in retrospect, I didn't really buy any of those games), but I realized that having the short-term memory of a goldfish, this approach wasn't really successful. I made a text file where I wrote down titles, release dates, comments and other useful information.
Said file was only meant to stay around for a few days, so I just named with "why wii". Trying to be a comedian to a non-existing audience, I wrote "y" instead of "why", and my finger slipped on the "w" and I wrote "q", "yqii.txt" was born.

This file overstayed it's visit, for over a year. I used it to write down all kinds of things, this was back when Rapidshare had great speed for unlimited file to free users, if you knew how to reset your IP, so I used it to write down a lot of rs links that I could grab when I wasn't using the internet. I pretty much used it as a memo.
Around April last year, I had translated my first manga. Anonymity is great and all that, but I believe that when it comes to important stuff (like drawn Japanese porn), you want to know the source, with "Anon", you don't know what you're getting before you already have it. In the unlikely case that I should translated anything more, I thought that I should use some sort of signature, and "yqii.txt" was still around.

I used all lower case back then, but the font I used made "yqii" look like "YQii", so later on, it became "YQII", in all upper case.

Regarding the pronunciation. Given it's origin I suppose it should be something like "Why-key", but given it's use (writing whatever I feel like, without any trustworthy source), I personally usually think of it like "Wiki".

The more you know.
