[Meme] Update time~
This is going to be a 2 in one meme. Which would explain why the URL ends with a double = 6060. XD The first one is from Neon.
1) How many of these (and what) do you enjoy? (Books, Anime, Manga/Comics, Games, others (elaboration is optional))
Books, anime, manga/comics, games, interactive novels and drama CDs (I only listen to Drama CDs if I know the story well, aka like Men’s Only Version: Little Women. This is because I need context;
2) What are your pings?
Genres - Usually fantasy, though for drama CDs it depends on how well Neon sells them to me. However, games that try to tell a story in an unusual way pings me, though games that are absolutely wrong like Monkey Island and classics like Baldur’s Gate also count. For anime, manga and books, it’s almost always how the authors tell the story and what their sources are. For fantasy novels, I go to books that have obvious sources like the Harry Potter series or explore things few other authors do like cartomancy and assassination… from the assassin’s point of view. XD
Tone - Funny books and the sense that the author doesn’t take themselves too seriously.
Seiyuu - I is not seiyuu fan. :3 Akira Ishida being the *only* exception for now. XD
OTHER PINGS - strong female characters. Women who are strong not physically, but in self-confidence. And preferably on the good side, rather than always being on the bad side. Women who can inspire, who lead because it’s a choice they make themselves, not because the lead guy died/disappeared/is a complete wimp. Cute megane types who are on the side of both the bad and good side. Guys who are very straight forward and honest (Seriously, why is SHIZUO pinging me in DRRR instead of Izaya?). Also, destroying fairy tales/common misconceptions (Kaori Yuki I love you).
3) Give me a sense of what you like? A few of your favourites please.
Currently: Mmm… DRRR! (Neon I need to leech Baccano from you), Pandora Hearts (manga), the Gates saga by Kate Elliot, and I just finished Test of the Twins (Raistlin <3333333).
Writing meme! Stuff covered here:
16. Do you write romantic relationships? How do you do with those, and how “far” are you willing to go in your writing?
17. Favorite protagonist and why!
18. Favorite antagonist and why!
