The words! There's so many of them! They're...OVER NINE THOUSDAAAAND!!!!1!
Alright, so that title refers to Nanowrimo, but before I forget I have a few VA-ing stuff to show you. (And a DBZ motivational video. No, I'm serious. It is...epically motivational. As in I can't stop cracking up every time I watch it XDXD )
Be warned, there are Tales of games and battle exhibitions up the wazoo! 8D
This one is a Mystic Artes exhibition of Tales of Innocence, a game that just recently got fan-translated for English speakers! Still way in the works, this is all we've got at the moment, but if the programmer really likes our dub he says he'll work out a dub patch for it 8D I play Hermana at 1:00.
I'm pretty proud of this one. This one's a Tales of Rebirth Mystic Artes exhibition (a game that hasn't gotten brought over to the US at all) This is mixed by a guy who's really good at epic mixing and for the most part everybody did fantastic jobs -- lots of energy here! 8D I play Hilda, the lady with long curly black hair, starting at 0:24 and then with more at 1:02 and onward.
(link for download of this one if you're interested)
Yet another battle exhibition but from BlazBlue! I play Litchi Faye Ling, briefly at 2:06, from 3:00-3:12, and at 4:14-4:27.
Here's the 3rd episode of an original work called The Perjurer, a kinetic novel mini-series about a group of people who sustain their lives by killing people quite literally with lies. XD;; From this episode onward, I'm going to have a very involved role in the writing of this (from ep 4 onward, the outline has been pretty much revamped by me XP ), and in this ep I'm voicing both Chaska and Caryn, the two ladies with brown hair (the former with pigtails, the latter in a black Asian-esque blouse).
And finally, this is another original work but fully animated, a short cartoon concept called Spirit Stars, with this segment being the four main protagonists coming across a certain classic video game with a certain sadistic dog. XD I play Kalina, the girl 2nd from the right in the screenshot, with long black hair and red hair ribbons. I really like this one too -- it's good all around, all the other VAs are spot on (at least two of them are VAing professionally already), the animation is quite well done, the characters are really cute and/or funny and the scripting and storyboarding is very engaging too. =D
On a very cool note, the creator of that last Spirit Stars animation has a tradition of thanking each of his animated characters' VAs with a drawing of them with their voiced character, and yesterday he finished mine:

I mean...seriously, the drawing really DOES look just like me! 8O Looks, atmosphere, the whole works! (And yeah, I know the character and I happen to have several similarities, which kinda amused me XP )
Aaand before I forget, here's that DBZ motivational video I promised that I found on one of my f-list's posts (no it is NOT a fandub, it is seriously a recording of the professional official production by FUNimation, with added helpful subtitles of course):
All right! Now that I'm done bragging about my VA escapades, it's time for me to brag about Nanowrimo! Because yes...my Nanowrimo word count is indeed, over 9000. 8D
(at time of post, word count was at 10,472)
It was not easily won! I was literally writing up to the last minute last night to get up to the daily goal, and I reached it just before the clock struck 12 on my computer 8D;;;; Cutting it close much?
But as I was telling mangaka_chan earlier, I really think this could be it -- that by the time this Nanowrimo is over, I will have epically defeated my writer's block once and for all. God, you don't know how good that makes me feel. (*)_(*) Five years, y'all. FIVE YEARS. Of strangled writing and staring at the blank page like this:
I mean, knock on wood that something doesn't happen, but you know what, I've already reached past my 1st Nanowrimo word record in 2003 (10,404) and I'm just a few days away from surpassing my 2nd and highest Nano record 2004 (12,161) -- and inbetween I hadn't participated at all because writer's block began to hit D8 It will really mean something once I pass my personal record...and if I win this year...cross my fingers but I doubt I'll get a writer's block that bad again. God, does that sound so good. X3
EDIT: And thus from tonight (12,582) onward I officially have broken my all-time Nanowrimo record. Let's see if I can also make it the first win ever. (*)___(*)
But in the meanwhile, I need to do laundry, finish some lines that I have a deadline for, work on ANOTHER presentation (I am going to be so sick of those by the end of the semester x_x )...well, time to do some Disney Princess singing! 8P
