( Hanamoto icons for great loli I MEAN justice. From the manga )

Seems like two years since I've written anything, rather than two months. Having accomplished this much I feel I am well on the way to earning my Hanamotocest merit badge.

Can anyone think of shoujo series or other by-women, marketed-to-women anime/manga (including BL, josei, and yuri) that have generated substantial fandom activity in Japan? By "substantial fandom activity" I mean not just discussion or attention but a decent body of doujinshi or other fanwork, fansites, etc. (edit: NOT limited to textual fanwork ( Read more... )

From part 2 of a joint interview between Umino Chica (author of Honey & Clover and 3gatsu no Lion) and Shimura Takako (author of Aoi Hana, among other things). Trans by yrs trly. Uhh spoilers for Aoi Hana manga Vol. 4, I guess. ^^;

Thinking about Honey & Clover again, in light of epilogue which all ye non-J-enabled can now read. ( I like this ending a lot, but )

From Mikazuki Scanlations: Honey and Clover manga "spinoff"

This is the one where Nomiya and Ayu are cute like woah, while Hagu and Shuuji have cats (for like one panel). Yrs trly is credited as QC, but the final translation is mostly mine.

Hanamotocest. D: Almost for real this time. I, uh, don't know whether I can/should/am stupid enough to try to continue this. I don't even know what to call it. "Neko ni Naritai"? "My Love For Hanamoto Shuuji, Let Me Show You It"? aslkfdfjsaldkflkj;

Spoilers for series end and manga "spin-off" epilogue. Rated PG if not W for Wrong.

The meme: 10 songs / 10 ficlets, aka Why Take Fic Prompts From Your Friends When You Can Take Them From Your iPod, last seen at musesfool.

The method: put mp3 player on shuffle, note the first 10 songs, write a drabble/ficbit inspired by each. musesfool did all one fandom and posted in one big batch, but I'm not as rigorous as that ( Read more... )
