Melancholy
I went through a melancholic mood today, while going through my mangakas folder I came across Tohjoh Asami :'(
I remember discovering her in the first year or so of reading yaoi and I was completely shocked when I found out she was no longer with us. Usually I don't read incomplete projects because I hate it when stories suddenly stop, I like closure. When I get into a good book, I become obsessed by it and every spare moment is spent on finishing that book. Sometimes I just skip right to the end and read that first .__.;;
This is the reason why I put off reading longer series such as Sex Pistols, Ze and Love Mode. When I finally succumbed to them though I didn't regret it, they're such good series.
There are also other series which haven't been updated in a long time, such as Border, Konoyo Ibun, Maiden Rose, Ze and many others. Some because the publishers have dropped them, they're slow to be published or the groups disappeared before the series were completed. I feel sad thinking about it TnT
Around 3 to 4 years ago I was constantly on deviantart, I loved finding great artists and looking at their art. Then .. I just stopped, it wasn't as important to me anymore. I just went back to DA and tried to find an artist who drew an amazing Maiden Rose doujinshi. When I was still active it was incomplete and she went on hiatus. And now her account is deactivated :( I just wish I could have saved her doujinshi while it was still available, but this was a few years ago, I never thought about saving things because everything was readily accessible. But now I've become a hoarder of everything. My external hard drive has increased from 250gb to 500gb to 2tb hahaha. Oh no ... I just checked and I've already used up half of my hdd already ... It's gonna be scary when it starts creeping towards to 100gb mark.
And to complete the theme of the day, my mind went to scanlation groups. It's sad to hear groups disband or just disappearing one day. In my mind I just thought they'd always be around, but this isn't always possible. Groups disappear, new ones form and it's a cycle. All good things comes to an end as they say.
