2013 in review

[trixie_chick]

yes, i know, 2014 is well underway, but the end of the year is busy and i'm too Irish to do a year-in-review thing until the year is actually over, anyway, so...! first of all, some stats...

Those are some pretty good looking stats, yup. Kudos! /lame pun

At present, I think I have one private bookmark, on a story that hits a kink I'm somewhat embarrassed about enjoying. Rationally, I realize the odds of anyone ever seeing my bookmark (and knowing me) are nil, but I just feel more comfortable setting it to Private.

Also: welcome to the wonderful world of OT3s! <3

hee, lame pun is funny. ^_^

well, hey, that's your call, and i see, so you can set the privacy on a bookmark by bookmark basis, ok. it's a little weird to me that authors can't see it even if you don't want that on your public bookmark page, but... i can also understand. i just wanna know sometimes, yanno, who cared enough to actually bookmark. ^_^;;; it seems harmless, but i do agree that people should be allowed to control their own privacy levels etc.

aww, thanks. it's a world of endless wonder. ^_~

Brava!

Uchouten Kazoku is a great anime, but it is hard to write for. So much talk of... tanuki being eaten :/ That and I didn't hear a huge buzz about it. Definitely a show that was unappreciated while it aired. It did have some great graphics so idk why it wasn't more of a hit with the tumblr crowd.

thankyou!

it realllllllly is an incredible series. i guess i can see that... though, i find the tanuki's... philosophy, or maybe outlook, on being eaten to be endlessly fascinating. and there most definitely was not enough buzz. =/ i guess it just didn't offer as much m/m or even f/f action, but... such an incredible universe and story...! and just trying to figure benten out should be reason for there to be a million fics!

i think it's also based on a novel series? so maybe some people are hesitant because they're not sure what's been revealed in novels?? i don't really know. i mean, i've only written one fic, so it's not like i'm championing the fandom or anything, it's just... too bad. such a great series.

♥!

It really took me a while to get used to it and even then I was still o.O over the possibility. Ah, romance... well yeah. With most of the male characters being brothers, it might have deterred some people from slashing. And Benten was probably one of the most interesting characters of the year. There is so much unexplained about her, how she is what she is. Hmm.

There is that. Idk. Hopefully there will be some more in the future! :)

it took me a long time, too, but i think like... they've lived for generations at the bottom of a feeding chain, of sorts, i mean, they're not actually on the bottom, but like... tengu at the top, then humans in the middle, and the tanuki at the bottom... but yeah, it's not really slash-friendly, not unless you want brother-on-brother action, and i don't even know then, because like... the youngest brother is too young, the eldest is too stiff, and the second eldest is a frog...

for a long time, i didn't like benten. and then we get to the finale, and the second to last episode, too, and it's like... everything she did was so contradictory and interesting, when i went back to rewatch it, i spent more time considering her actions, and... yeah, she's just endlessly fascinating and sad and terrible and wonderful and...!

i would cry for joy if there was a second season, just. *_*

I do not think I prod so much as I offer suggestions. ^___________^

[trixie_chick]

of course, they're just helpful suggestions. with a side of jedi mind trick, but mostly just an offer of a suggestion for sure!! ^_~
