Mix Speaker's,Inc.'s new PV is out! And I think it sums up absolutely everything that I love about this band. ♥ A little mysterious, a lot nostalgic, and always cute and humorous. And is it just me, or do Yuki and Miki sound better and better with every single? ♥ ♥ ♥ It is still killing me that I missed their concert this summer, but I hope the ( Read more... )

I think this may be the fluffiest piece of fluff I've ever written in my entire life; and, truth be told, that makes me nervous. (I suspect I'm not terribly good at writing fluff.) But fluff was what was ordered, and so fluff there is! Thus ends the first of my four help_japan fics.

This story was written for arachne13, who requested a Card Captor Sakura manga- ( Read more... )

So I've been doing some casual research on Cyberpunk this evening, and it seems one of my unfinished stories already is Cyberpunk. It was a detective story set in a dystopian cyber-world, but it never occurred to me that it might actually fit into an established genre (er, aside from 'detective story' and 'dystopian fiction', anyway.)

Thanks to everyone who answered my question yesterday. ♥ I'm excited by the mass willingness to take a leap of faith for your fiction ... and I woke up this morning screaming, "YES! THAT!!" because I'd finally worked out the last confusing bit of plot mess for Anamnesis, and I am so excited for this, you have no idea. Hopefully by the fall I'll ( Read more... )

Here's a question for everyone, and I'm posing it in the hopes that it provokes some discussion, so detailed answers/comments are most happily welcomed ( Read more... )

Well, the spiraling economy finally caught up to me in a big way, and in the interest of buying, er, food, I've (reluctantly) decided to start selling off a significant portion of my personal Jrock and anime/manga collection.

On offer this time is a collection of Jrock albums/singles/DVDs, manga (English and Japanese language), Anime DVDs, and ( Read more... )
