My inbox on FF teems with questions, most of which go unanswered. Not because I’m too epic for my own good, let alone anyone else’s. My opinions are many, and I don’t mind sharing them. But… time! I barely manage a thin trickle of fandom writing. Why talk about telling stories when I could be telling them? However, I’m willing to answer a few here and there.
I’d rather not set myself up as some kind of writing guru. The interwebz are full of pros who love to pontificate about storycraft and wordsmithery. But maybe I can offer a unique perspective because I’m a fandom fumbler turned author originale. So if you PM me on FF or drop a question in a comment, I may answer it sometime in a blog post much like this one. Continue reading

So youkai do care about something other than strength?”

I vividly remember my first encounter with Natsume Yujinchou. Each episode of the anime’s first season stole a little piece of my soul, and I’d often be left blinking misty eyes. The format is episodic, and the story of a boy who can see youkai is gently-paced and heartwarming. Continue reading

I still cannot decide if Sesshoumaru was backward or brilliant in bringing you. Either way, it should be entertaining.”

I must have watched this anime 3–4 times before Netflix took it down (which broke my heart a little). Not to be deterred, I located the manga and have begun my collection of Princess Jellyfish by Akiko Higashimura. This off-beat storyline has a familiar theme—every girl can be a princess. But Tsukimi is Continue reading

As a serial storyteller, I appreciate serial storytelling (especially if I trust the author). Hardly surprising since I’m such a big fan of manga. Little by little, bit by bit, a mangaka develops their storyline. Some of these serials seem like they’ll Never End. Others are cut short, leaving us with a slapdash conclusion. Some are dropped by translators, so our manga sets will remain forever unfinished. Maybe that’s why I have a special place in my heart for the completed series.
Nabari no Ou by Yuhki Kamatani (Yen Press) is complete in 14 volumes. I was first introduced to this world of modern ninja via the anime. Continue reading

Aloof. Overbearing. Uninterested. Turning him into Prince Charming is a tall order. Did Sesshoumaru have any good qualities she could work with? —Lord Charming, Chapter 75: “Tall Order”
