Illustrations by Ohkami Mineko: Ohkami Mineko has been the one doing the illustrations for two novel series serialized in Shinshokan's novel magazine, "Novel Wings".
I only have the two older versions (WINGS NOVELS and not WINGS Bunko) of Shindou Natsuki's series, "Fatal Error", so I will provide the ISBN's for those only. I believe the only difference between the WINGS NOVELS and WINGS bunko versions is the size, price and cover image. The novels itself should be the same. Note that the author (Yamada Mineko) for the first novel listed is a manga-ka too. Her works appeared in many magazines (published by Akita Shoten, Hakusensha etc.) in the 80's. She is well-known for her "Armageddon Series" which is also the setting of her novel listed below.

Works and Guest Appearances:
Doujinshi
Ohkami
Mineko has not publicly released a list of her doujinshi titles since
she feels that she wants fans of the series (that the doujinshi is
based on -- like game and tv anime titles) to read them rather than
her fans reading them just because they are done by her. Therefore,
I do not have a list of doujinshi's she has released and no one on
the internet in Japan has anything posted either. Also, she seems
to be quite busy recently and has not created any doujinshi's within
the past couple of years. I know though that in the early and mid-90's
she released a couple of DK doujinshi's. I'm not a collector of doujinshi's
but I do have one of her books made and sold by herself. It's not
really a doujinshi but more of a collection of her rough designs and
comments for her manga's, other than DK.
Special Publications In the early and mid-90's Shinshokan released what was called "Ohkami Mineko Tokushuu-gou" ("special issue") (there were 2 -- the second one in 1995). They were magazine type books that included already published compilations of some of her works (i.e. Gekka Kajin) plus some special manga (i.e. DK side stories & Papa WA Warumono!?) written for them and it also had other goodies like posters, etc. Guest Appearances Ohkami Mineko has also made guest appearances in her friend's books and other books that talk about manga and drawing techniques. One magazine she has appeared several times in is the magazine, "Puff", that talks about various manga's. Iisaka Yukako, who is Ohkami Mineko's friend, is also a manga-ka who writes for Shogakukan (she currently has a series running in Ciao). The two of them have exchanged drawings for their tankoubons several times. The two Iisaka Yukako tankoubon titles that include Ohkami Mineko's drawings are: Gakuen Kaitou Triangle (vol. 2) Battle Girl Ai (vol. 1, 8) Ohkami Mineko was also one of the manga-ka's that contributed to Midorikawa Hikaru's 10th anniversary (as a seiyuu) doujinshi book (3rd volume - released in 2000), "Scintiller #3", since he did several voices in the DK drama albums.
