Typing of starting out, I noticed a while back that my introductory story (pretty much all I've thought up) for Project Necropunk would stand alone reasonably well. The problems here are ( Read more... )

One of the suggestions I've had for where to go with my projects early on was to make something in a setting that my readers know, instead of Project Abdiel, about which none of you give a damn. As it happens, one of my ideas, which I hadn't posted yet, turned out to have an interesting story in him. Of course, we've got a couple of problems:

1. ( Read more... )

These days, I have so many Japanese books to buy that by the time I get one, I don't remember what I'd read about it that prompted me to put it on the shopping list. This means, for one thing, that I generally go into each one with a clean slate, no spoilers, preconceptions, or particular expectations. This is especially true in the case of Aka× ( Read more... )

One of the main things I'd forgotten earlier also relates to the too much sex stuff. The problem I was seeing was that, in Project AnthraXX, the main storyline is the relationship between Ms. Brown and Ms. Canina. Although I plan for this one to be rather short (less than one year's in-story time), I want to include appropriate pacing. I don't want ( Read more... )

For some reason, in the middle of this month, I coincidentally encountered a number of references to the German troops of the World Wars:

1. As noted earlier, I reread HELLSING. In case you've been living under a rock for the last couple of years, the main conflict in the series is with a bunch of SS vampires and werewolves who have hidden away in ( Read more... )

Speculation on Ms. Mikado's and Ms. Inori's past and future and the festival that I mentioned earlier have come together today. (Unfortunately, the illustration doesn't seem to be up to Ms.? Maitake's usual standards. Then again, I never liked Ms. Mikado because of her looks in the first place.) Personally, I think that they'll at least get a ( Read more... )

Well, I'm not allowed to leave the computer on unless I'm using it (to make sure I counter-hack anyone who tries to break in), so here's another post for today while I wait for my files to download ( Read more... )

Comic YuriHime has been successful enough to try some interesting things lately. I haven't yet posted on the last three mooks I've received, so here we go:

Comic YuriHime VOL.8: Following from the first one to have characters not from Hatsu-Koi Shimai and the first one to not have two characters, this cover is not even by Ms. Hibiki! To tell the ( Read more... )

As usual, I'm getting caught up in planning all sorts of things without actually following through with much of any of them. This can be easily illustrated by my notes on future LJ posts ( Read more... )

Between the DVD (for which I hear you still haven't collected your recompensation, arifyn), the amazon order, and other things I've encountered, I have an oodle (not a word you see often in the singular) of kansō to type. So, let's start with BLEACH. With 10 books (10-17 and 19-20), I have plenty of comments, and since my two best readers are familiar ( Read more... )
