'''UPDATE! The "The Masters of Animanga: A Wikia Collaborative Writing Project" is LIVE! Check out the first story now and contribute!''' AMAZING NEWS, ANIMANGA FANS!!! Wikia has the exclusive opportunity to host "The Masters of Animanga: A Wikia Collaborative Writing Project"! This cool project will feature fully rendered illustrations and brief character descriptions EXCLUSIVELY curated by manga and anime legends Kazuo Koike, Yoshitaka Amano, Takashi Okazaki and Shin-ichi Hiromoto for the Wikia community! Hiroaki Ikegami, along with famed Japanese film producer Masao Maruyama, will oversee the project in an executive producer capacity!

How amazing does that sound?!? The project will be hosted on this community since it is Wikia’s anime and manga hub, and it will begin Tuesday, September 3 and close Friday, September 27. Users will be invited to Wikia to contribute to the Masters collaborative story project in a one-paragraph-at-a-time format. Following each submission, a new user will have the opportunity to add to the story and, over the course of three weeks, the project will develop THREE different stories across three different genres around a Vampire, Samurai, and Girls!

In addition to helping create memorable stories, to kick off the project, the Masters of Animanga will offer tips and guidance from their collective careers in a series of videos on Wikia.com leading into September 3. People can upload their own fan-created art to the story, and in turn, the Masters will provide commentary, feedback and advice to the fans creating the art! YOU could get feedback on your art from LEGENDS!

When the project ends, these Masters of Animanga will then be at New York Comic-Con in October as part of an interactive panel to discuss with fans the full development of the story from the early stages until the end!! Don't forget, this starts on September 3, but you can totally start brainstorming ideas now! We can't wait to see the final results!!
