This journal is an excerpt taken from my stream-of-consciousness MMD lexicon essay, 'The Term 'MMD Effect modder' is Problematic. Here's Why'. This except is the introduction to the essay, wherein I explain the inherent issues with the term 'effect modder', and begin to attempt to come up with a better definition. I highly encourage you to read the full essay, as only this excerpt does not explain the conclusion (or lack of conclusion, *spoilers*) that I come to in the full essay. ------------ Preface This is a s̶h̶o̶r̶t̶ essay about the lexical issues surrounding the terms ‘effect modder’ and ‘effect producer’. Please treat it as a stream of consciousness and a critique of my own work, and please feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below. I would like to clarify that when I say ‘problematic’, I do not mean in the sense that it is used online today to describe someone racist, transphobic etc..

Hello Everyone! I'm very happy to announce that THE MME ARCHIVE IS NOW AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC! You can check out the Archive here: https://www.themmearchive.com/ The MME Archive (or, the MikuMikuEffect Archive) is a website which helps MMDers discover new effects and producers, helps them find out which effects belong to which producer, find tutorials for effects, and find the best programs for using/making effects. I launch this Archive with effect producers ikeno and nil already implemented, and I aim to have a new producer added every couple of weeks. This has been my baby for around 4 months (over a year if you consider the MMD Effect Collections as part of it), so I'm very happy to release this publicly. I'm also very nervous as I have high expectations for this project, and I really, really want it to succeed. I have a few things I wanna say about the project, so please read on for some important information... The Domain Something I wanted to talk about is the domain

Hiya everyone! If you follow me on Twitter, you probably will have seen me talking about the MME Collections I have on my DeviantART. I started this project almost exactly a year ago, and it's proved to be a massive help to MMDers looking to find new effects and help them find producers to credit! I'm so happy about this, however hosting this valuable information on DeviantART has proven to be difficult. After DeviantART eclipsed, it kinda messed up the formatting that I was using to highlight effects, and also messed up the layout of the text. The biggest smash in the balls however was finding out that you can't have an infinite amount of text in a deviation description without it crashing, which meant I had to split the collections into three parts. Whenever I added a new effect producer, I would have to move everyone around these three deviations, and it was taking up so much time that I had to postpone any updates in favour of deadline projects, LearnMMD and professional
