This is my journal almost entirely for musings, fanfiction and occasional fanart to do with my current fandom, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. :D I might occasionally post other stuff, but that's why I'm here.

Hmmm... about me. Well, the most interesting/important thing is I'm working towards becoming a published author. This journal is to give me a chance to practice, and indulge my love of super robot anime and space operas, which would look odd in what I plan to write.

Why Gurren Lagann? To me, it’s more than just a crazy super robot show about drills and manliness. Stripped down to its foundations, it is a classic coming of age story. With the themes contained within this tale - the power of the human heart to overcome adversity, and grief, to conquer fear and doubt, finding yourself, and creating a future for humanity... I think it’s an incredibly beautiful story. It’s just the kind of story we need, with all the worry about climate change, and the economy - a story that reaffirms our goodness and capabilities, reminding us that humans *can* change the world and save themselves.

Gah, I love it so much! And the characters are so much fun to play with.
