ITT, post and discuss doujin original works.

>Original doujin vs doujin original
Works discussed ITT can be fanwork of a property that originated in doujin, not just works that are fully original, both are welcome.
>What is doujin
Doujin is a type of subculture similar to indie, where people with shared interest can self publish works with more lax rules allowing for interesting creative ideas and organic and active communities.
>Words to know
Doujin circle - Group, usually for the sake of publishing
Doujinsoft - Video game
Doujinshi - manga
Doujin music - music
Doujin anime - animation
>What makes something doujin
The most common way to tell is that is was distributed through a website or event made for doujin works such as comiket or dlsite. Another way to yell is more lax rules around fanworks, but, it is fairly safe to assume that an indie work from japan is doujin.
>Does doujin mean hentai?
Not neccesarily, most doujin works are sfw, but, a lot of what ends up making it to the west are ero doijinshi.
>How to find original doujinshi
There are events specifically designed to highlight originals such as comitia, and many participants label their account with comitia in the name. Sometimes throwing the word orgiinal into a service that offers doujin works helps too.

That is all, find cool worls, share cool works
>>
Source for the OP Inage is a cool scifi doujinshi I stumbled upon called re:pair
https://e-hentai.org/g/1459915/7352317598/?p=1
Goes without saying, but please try to avoid just sharing touhou stuff, since you can do that anywhere on the board, where individual yhreads talking about lesser knwon doujin properties would drown.
Although, if there is interest, I will make a touhou fanworks thread too.
>>
Does anyone know any artists that will be making doujin for Elin who are also coming to C108?
>>

I never delve too much into the Elin threads here, but, if you know the artists, check if they have c108 nect to their name on social media. They usually do that before events.
