The librarians stopped me today, wanting suggestions on what to get in the way of manga. I think of one on the way home naturally. I'm reading ones too violent/adult for their tastes. they're looking for a) stuff for the younger kids b) stuff for the mid-teens to older teens that aren't ultraviolents like Deadman Wonderland or Dogs: Bullets & Carnage.

Here's what they have - Inuyasha, Fruits Basket, Ranma 1/2, Shaman King, Basara, DragonballZ, Kare Kano, Ceres, Fushi Yugi, Zodiac PI, Ruroni Kenshin, Hot Gimmick, FMA, OHSHC, Hellsing, Vampire KNight,Bleach, Cherry Juice, Tokyo Mew Mew,Naruto, School Rumble, Tokyo Tribes, President Dad, Graviation, Nausicca, Emma,One Piece, Deathnote, Soul Eater, Tramps Like Us, B. Ichi, Dragon Hunter, Girl Got Game, Usagi Yojimbo, Dragon Knights.

I did think of Hero Tales (the one Arakawa is illoing) after I left. It has the added benefit of being only a few volumes long. Thanks

One of my friends said they switched from AES student loans to Sallie Mae. I'm going to have to ask why. I just found out why they don't think i've paid them. they're saying my bank info is wrong. I looked it. It ain't. they are total fucktards.

I'm on a minor roll writing wise. Watch it stop as soon as I get serious about camp nano.

Speaking of writing, want to watch me NOT read your story, bash other pairings or suggest we just don't get your ship and we should. Just write your ship and enjoy it. You don't need to bash others to do this. You don't need to insinuate there is something wrong with others when they don't see it your way (naturally I see this more with non-canon pairings). I love canon pairings but not always (witness Buffy/Spike or Connor/Cordy), I think Spike was best with Dru and wished they wouldn't have gone that route but they did and hell Spike's interactions with Dawn were his most human IMO so I wouldn't have had that if they hadn't gone that route and if I want to write Dawn/Spike I should be able to do that without needing to say another word about it. I love Roy/Riza but I also like Roy/Olivia and Roy/Maes and feel no need to justify it beyond putting what pairing it is in the pairing slot on my story info. I don't get people who feel the need to suggest we're not giving them a fair shake by not looking or that we don't get it (sometimes implied that the author doesn't get it either or hell sometimes flat out stated that way). Ah fandom, you have always been and shall always be crazy.

And on the fandom note

springkink is open for prompts. must restrain self from going nuts

Harry Potter Tribute i like this and speaking of Harry here's an interesting look at writing an opening chapter view through a Potter lens (not sure I agree with some of attributes she assigns) Harry Potter and writing

thanks to
