On a totally unrelated note: I changed the layout of the community, for like, the third time.  I'm sorry for all the random, and very much so bizarre, changes and I wish I could tell you that this disconcerting *coughcoughcough* incident will be the last.  However, I am a fickle person, and will probably change it again--as a heads up and pre- ( Read more... )

My latest Japan/China fanfiction.
(cross-posted, in actual chapters, on FFN)

what if--?
WWII was won by the Axis Powers.
Imperial Japan gained control of Asia.
The world, as we know it, was never there.
( chapter one )

This was a response to a maladjusted reviewer, who argued against my, uh, choice in pairing Japan with China.  It was an intelligent discussion thought, and most certainly not a flame/pairing war.  I was just refuting her (or his?) points in this really, really, really long review response.

This could be some form of sequel (although it is actually ( Read more... )

Part two.  Hope you enjoy? ^^;;
( without further ado, the next twenty panels! )

WHY THIS PAIRING?

Or better yet, why JapanxChina is the best.
( click for rambling rant. )

So here are some much-promised (and much-awaited) links to outside fanart.  Of course, there are two main routes to go through here: straight from the source (aka: the side where the artist directly posted it on) or the carefully-sorted through cross-posting.

Feel free to use either or both, although I personally recommend the direct site, just in ( Read more... )

Part 2/3 of my trade~ Please note the HEAVY!!! amount of artistic liberties taken with the translation of these lyrics in order to better flow and better fit the whole of the pairing.  Credit for the Japanese and Romanji lyrics go to animelyrics.com.

Anyways, here are the lyrics, in three different formats~

...I felt that the lack of graphics in this community needed to be remedied.  So I made four wallpapers on Photoshop.  I think that they're... well, whatever, actually.  But they're definitely usable and pretty romantic (creepily so, of course) and what the heck, you can see for youself.

A repetition of rules:
1 - Edit, use, repost, etc. as you ( Read more... )

I had to reupload these stupid things on stupid LJ like five times because LJ's autosave is a lie when it comes to autosaving the second most basic of HTML formats: tables.  Argh!

*clears throat*

Anyways, the same exact rules apply as last time:
1 - Edit, use, repost, etc. as you please
2 - Please don't take credit for the artwork; it was done by very ( Read more... )

So this is one-third of my trade with acquiesceme--she's going to draw a comic and I'm going to make three videos.  This one is the Chinese video, with Yao and Kiku, BUT OF COURSE.  Anyways, I actually don't know Chinese (because, like, I'm Japanese...eheh) so I went through baidu to find the non-pinyin-ed lyrics and then fed THAT through google ( Read more... )
