Extended Profile
Since Google+ seems to have a limit to how much you can put in your profile, I had to pick and choose what my official profile could contain. These are some of the additional items that are relevant to my profile, should you choose to browse around a bit :).


Introduction
tl;dr: New to Google+? Looking for figures and people that post them? Try the Figure Photography community and #figurefriday tag. Also get notifications of the weekly posts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll be posting mostly about anime, manga or figures. There may be some deviations from that from time to time, but those will be the primary things I'll be posting about.

I circle many, but I usually follow just a handful of folks who post good content (as shown in my "People" section). The others are in muted topic circles that I frequent once in a while to see what's new.

So if I don't happen to see a post you made that you think would interest me, feel free to mention me :).

Quick Links:

Collections:
So, we finally have the ability to curate our own content. I'll add more to these as time passes, but for now, these are some of my curated collections, if you happen to be interested in just a specific aspect of my Google+ postings. Feel free to follow :).
  • Figure Friday Challenge Announcements - If you want to be notified of challenge announcements, turn on notifications for this collection
  • Figure Photography - My own photography and others that I find
  • Illustrations - Illustrations I've run across from Pixiv and what others have shared
  • Wafuku - Some great traditional Japanese clothing relates posts
  • Cosplay - Some not as traditional clothing done by cosplayers

Communities:
I'm trying out a few communities to help gather my interests into one spot. Feel free to join and contribute to them!

Others:
A few more places where I keep lists of things.

Figure Friday (weekly): #figurefriday
Join us every Friday to share your photos of your figures! Just upload your pictures and share them to the Figure Photography community and/or tag with #figurefriday:

Figure Friday Challenge (weekly): #figurefridaychallenge
A weekly challenge to offer some themes to take pictures around. Challenges like silhouettes, shadows, footwear, weapons and so on (archive available here, notifications available here, suggestions gathered via the #figurefridaychallengerequest tag).

Be creative and have fun!

Figure Friday Event (monthly): #figureevent
At the end of the month, we usually host a special Google+ #figurefriday event, so feel free to browse and participate:

Figure Photos (any time): #figurephotos
This is a tag we're encouraging people to use whenever they post pictures of their figures on Google+. It should help us find each other and create a little community of figure photographers.

Some of my contributions:

Guess Who: #guesswho
Usually, right before I post a figure photoshoot, I'll do a little guessing game based on a teaser photo. Apparently I'm not that secretive as people always manage to guess, but here are the last few I've done:

Hashtags:
These are some of the hashtags I like to take part in. Feel free to join in and participate!

Shared Circles: #circleshare
I like trying to keep my circles well managed. So once in a while I'll share them. They're not quite as accurate as I would like them to be since the whole Google+ circle concept is flawed, so for now, it is what it is.

Favorite Posts:
I don't keep a blog (yet?) so this is usually where I dump stuff. If you want to get a feel for who I am, some of these will probably do the trick.

Topics:
Interpretations and Reviews:

Seasonal:
I try to collect impressions, reviews, opinions about the anime seasons as they progress. These are some of the collected posts over the various recent anime seasons. Apologies as I will sometimes miss a post here and there.

Best Anime For: #bestanimefor
Just a collection asking folks to name some interesting anime that fits the posted topic.

If I enjoyed...: #sharethejoy
A poor man's recommendation engine to solicit some similar anime from the community. Perhaps you'll find them interesting to. So, if you enjoyed:

Exemplary Anime Archetype: #exemplaryanimearchetype
Share with us your considerations for various exemplary archetypes.

Share it Forward: #shareitforward
A small experiment in creating shares and ripples. The concept is to try to get people to reshare and add their own commentary to a post. Hopefully the reshare will result in more people seeing the content and more people willing to share. An social experiment of sorts. Here's the list of current topics, feel free to share any one of them as you like.

Link Sharing: #linkshare
Just finding ways to share interesting link with others in the otaku community.

Identity Sharing: #crosspollinate
Face it, Google+ isn't the _only_ network we use, albeit, for me, it's the best one. So once in a while, we'll share with each other those other places we hang out.

Chrome Themes: #chrometheme
I dabble a little in creating some chrome themes, mainly just for my own use.
