links...

[permetaform]

- Saiyuki: psychodragon82 links to Saiyuki doujinshi that look good!

How good, you may ask? Look (click for bigger):


And apart from a couple panels, they look very Minekura-accurate. I detect some panels that possibly are traced from her manga itself, which amuses the hell out of me, because lookit! It's like AU vidding!

- Saiyuki (58): ciceqi's Fulfilled (Better Than Satisfied) - a languid contemplation

- Saiyuki (39): cicer's Seven Deadly Sins, lovely and true to character

- Harry Potter(Ron/Pansy): helga_b some awesome fics

- Hans Christian Andersen: Fairy Tales and Stories (English Translation) - in all it's original creepy goodness!

- keelywolfe links to awesome Batman scans! - I would recommend you gawking at the last scan and then looking at the others. If the last one doesn't catch your attention...

- aubrem: Wherein Fandoms = Nations. FYI cathexys and elke_tanzer? I consider you the Fandom BBC. ::bows::

- speaking of which: metabib - "archives a fanfic meta links list and a fanfic and fandom academic bibliography."

- peasant_ : Don't eat your young - Or Newbies and Critique. To which I can only say: HELL YEAH. 'Cause see, there's helpfulness and there's non-helpfulness; Roses and Thorns, yanno? And if you can't give a rose, don't give a thorn, ESPECIALLY for a newbie. It's like expecting a baby compose a sonata; ya ain't gonna get it, and one shouldn't critique it like it was meant to be a masterpiece. But if a composer creates crap...well, one figures they should have enough experience by then to handle it, or even actively look for helpful criticism.

- Online Dating Meets Cybersex - "a proprietary chat client and tele-dildonics". ::is so so amused::

- Post Secret: "an ongoing community art project where people mail-in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard." (Someone should do a multi-fandom ficathon based off these...)

- kim_cc posts a neat personal mythology

Aaaugh, those Batman scans are so painful. I've seen them so many times, but it still makes me shudder.

*gives Timmy so much hugs*

The artwork in that doujinshi is stunningly beautiful, but I can't tell you how much hate Hakkai the weepy uke. What the hell is with that? It's like Vash the weepy uke in Trigun, it seems to be the default setting for most doujinshi circles, and it bears no relation to the character in the manga at all. I just can't enjoy the artwork when the story sucks.

Grrrrr.

I FOLLOW POSTSECRET LIKE IT IS MY DEITY ON EARTH. (Sadly, they don't archive old postcards (T-T))

I really should stop licking my screen, and yet.... @___@;

And, YAY on PostSecret, YAY on the scans, yay on you being online in the first place. Does this mean that life isn't beating you up as badly as you feared?

[baka-gaijin.livejournal.com]

Thank you for all the great links! The doujinshis were beautiful, and the ciceqi story was great.

Keep pimping!

*brain implodes* That's... so Minekura-like, the only thing tipping it off is the positions the ink job. :DDDDD YEY 39~ <3

RE 'don't eat your young' = very sound advice and perspective. XD Although I still want someone to wax eloquent about why the hell nobody feels like applying those impossible standards to FANART.

I've been recced by permetaform. I can die happy. *ded*

[permetaform]

::nods:: but wonderful in that a single eye can cause so much sympathetic fear and pain. much props to the artist =)

[permetaform]

heh, yeah. I think it didn't bother me as much 'cause it didn't totally wreck my sacred cow o' the fandom. =)

[permetaform]

they don't???? o.0 dangit. this is just to keep people obsessively following it, ne?

[permetaform]

heh, I know!!!

[permetaform]

::nodnodnod:: ahhh, them memories!

[permetaform]

power of transfiguration

XD, that's *brill*!

As for the online-ness, it's mostly me sharply curtailing how long I'm letting myself online. ::wry grin:: life is as life does.

[permetaform]

XD np! ::grins and bows::

[permetaform]

I think maybe people don't know how to critique fanart? And yeah, heh, the ...positions....XD

[permetaform]

::fans:: =)

::glomps::

[tochira.livejournal.com]

But, I mean, what does that /say/, that people think they have no business critiquing art but feel like they're perfectly qualified to rip written pieces to shreds?

I mean, I was an art major, not an English major... so it just feels all kinds of backwards to me. (But of course most people aren't either one of those... which still makes me curious.)

I would love to start a huge drama-infested discussion on this, but no one really seems to want to take me up on it. XDDDD

[permetaform]

XD Want me to post about and throw out the idea? I might not have the time to respond to every comment, but I did something similar for th_nightengale for the muse discussion a bit back.

[tochira.livejournal.com]

Have at, if you are so inclined. XD
