I'm nosy. Sue me.
I really am nosy. I've been looking at my doujinshi collection, and I know a bunch of you on my flist own them, too. So I'm wondering, what fandoms do you have doujinshi for? What pairings? Any books by noteworthy artists or big name mangaka? I'm curious.
Mine, in alphabetical order:
Angelique:
...I know nothing about Angelique. I got this book for free, and the art isn't all that great, so it probably shouldn't count. Don't remember the pairing.
Ashita no Joe:
Err, I own one book simply because it was done by Hinako Takanaga, uke!Joe and FFT parody. I haven't read the manga yet, and I don't think I'm going to like it anyway.
Death Note:
...okay, I JUST started collecting. Nothing to write home about here. YET. I want -- NEED -- Taishi Zaou and Eiki Eiki's books. Anyway, I'm probably going to be getting several more DN books of the L/Light/L variety, although I'd LOVE some L x Light x Misa. I wouldn't count on finding any of those, though. And I bet you I'll become a Mello/Near fan with the coming volumes. BET you.
FFVII:
Not talking about pairings I have here, but the mangaka I own books by. Just because you all know I have a ton of FFVII books with a ton of pairings, so I'm not even going into it.
I think the most famous mangaka I have books by is my beloved Shu3 Sakurai (and I'm real grateful she does mainly Sephiroth/Cloud). I've got a shitload of Tohlu Okashina's stuff, who is, to my genuine surprise, a rather well-known SHOUJO het!smut mangaka by the name of Tomomi Nagae and has not done one single BL manga of her own. WUT?
I've also got books by Kouko Agawa, and one by both Sachiyo Sawauchi (Devil x Devil) and Kaneda Mario of Girls Bravo! fame. The latter has done mostly Cloti books, actually; I really want to get them. I love her artwork (despite my aversion to that pairing) but especially her bishoujo. God, her bishoujo.
Tetsu Matsudaira of Chinsengumi did the artwork for the manga adaptation of Sukisho with Yuzu Tsutae, and some gen manga. I've got a Maki Murakami doujin, and... yeah, pretty sure the majority of you know who she is by now. Rin Kigawa is a shounen mangaka, but I can't find any of her manga for sale, ever; I have one of them. That's it. Hotaka Ran's done some manga. And Miki Sakamoto, too; I'd love something by her, but I hate Seph/Vin so that's never going to happen. Lucky for me she's done illustrations of Zack/Cloud, Sephiroth/Cloud, and gen S/Z/C, so that should suffice. Although I'd give anything for the book advertized there, I don't think she actually published it. Goddammit.
As for Big Name Artists -- Ryo Akizuki. Of course. And Tohru Azumi.
Done with the FFVII rambling.
FFVII: Advent Children:
Mostly SHM-centric, Turks-centric, and Sephiroth/Cloud with Cloud/Tifa and Cloud/Aeris. And Cloud/girl!Kadaj with Loz/Tifa. Ahem. One's by Sakurako Yamada. :D I love her art so much.
FFVIII:
I've only got a few. Two are gen/het/lightly slashy, and the other's Seifer/Squall. By Birdie, who I kind of hate, but... her Seifer's pretty hot.
FFX:
I have a total of one FFX book, which is Seymour/Tidus. I don't even like these two characters (I'd rather have Seymour/Yuna), but I got it because I wanted to annoy meridienne with it. But it's not porn, and I didn't even scan it yet, so my plan kind of failed in that respect.
FF: Unlimited:
Kaze/Kumo. I don't even remember FF:U. Guess I need to watch it again. >.>
Gintama:
How many of you know about Gintama? >.> Anyway, I own some anthologies, with work by artists like Shihan Ichinomaya, Parco Shinsaibashi, Jun Uzuki (friend of Zaou and Eiki)... There's a lot of pairings in anthologies, as you can probably tell, but I'm in the market for Katsura/Gin. That, however, isn't happening.
Kingdom Hearts:
I'd be an avid collector if they were generally more ample and affordable. However, I think I've got a decent amount of them (five!), so I won't complain, especially since I have Riku/Sora, Seph/Cloud, and Cloud/Aerith. ...and Aerith/Yuffie, if you consider sharing a Paopu together slashy (which it isn't, but come on, Aerith/Yuffie... *grabby hands*)
Naruto:
Only one Naruto doujin. It's mostly Kakashi/Iruka and Sasuke/Naruto, but it has work by Sakurako Yamada and Yonezou Nekota in it! The latter's story is Kakashi/Sasuke. Which I find kind of... well, anyway. I'm on the lookout for some Zabuza/Haku doujin, though. Especially Hisaya Nakajo's ZabuHaku. I'd also like to buy Nanae Chrono's KakaIru doujin, too. HOLY PWP, BATMAN. And maybe Yun Kouga's stuff...
Original:
I'm not really an avid collector of original doujinshi, so I've only got a few. Two are by Aoi Kujou, and I think those were actually published later on in tankoubon form... which sort of sucks. The other original book I have is Denki no Te/Electric Hands by Taishi Zaou, also published in its entirety in Aruji no Oose no Mama ni... which I don't have yet so I guess I shouldn't bitch.
Peace Maker:
Semi-avid? I try to snag Yoshida/Suzu and Suzu x Tetsu if I can, and I own a couple Ryoma/Tatsu and Hijikata/Souji as well as gen. I don't think I have any popular artists, though.
Princess Princess:
Just one book. Taishi Zaou, Eiki Eiki, Jun Uzuki... uh, others I don't remember. Random pairings, though not a whole lot.
Togainu no Chi:
Just decided to start collecting, but that isn't going to be easy. The book I ordered is Shiki/Akira, of course. I want Miki Sakamoto's ShikiAki. WANT. NEED. GIVE ME.
Trigun:
Not a FREQUENT collector, but I've got some books, mostly by Dr. Ten (and seme!Vash). I'm still kind of iffy on her Wolfwood, but... I enjoy her art a great deal. I also own a few by Toshimi Nigoshi, who isn't a HUGE mangaka, but she's done a few manga herself. She's not nearly as prolific as Dr. Ten, though, and tends to stick to Trigun dj.
Yami no Matsuei:
I've only got four books (I think). Muraki/Tsuzuki, Touda/Tsuzuki, Tatsumi/Tsuzuki, Muraki/Hisoka, Oriya/Muraki, Tsuzuki/Hisoka... I WANT HIJIRI/HISOKA GODDAMMIT. Vitamin X and L'somethingorother are BN doujinshika in this fandom.
And I do believe that's all (yes, shutting up now). Sooo, what about y'all? (You don't have to ramble on like I did if you don't want to, but I'd like to hear your fandoms!)
I keep staring at this layout oh Jeebus ShikiAki really is FTW.
