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”

I’ve been on a CLAMP kick lately, in part because the more of their stories you read, the more you appreciate their stories. The ladies of CLAMP are known for story overlaps and allusions, and a savvy reader can Continue reading

I’ve been pondering what to put on this blog. There’s plenty I could do, but telling stories is what I love best. So I’m dusting off Clumsy. This is an IY fanfic I began back in 2011, and it involves a fave plot device—genderbending. I’ll post two chapters a week (only here, not on FanFiction.net) each Tuesday and Friday.
Story Summary: AU. She was the most sought-after demoness at court, but no suitor could conquer her. He was only trying to feed his family when his stray arrow felled a mythical beast. A kind-hearted man. A fierce lady. A romance told in bits and pieces. Genderbent SK.

At the footer of every Lord Charming update, I record the original posting date, the writing prompt, and the word count. The notations are a relic of my involvement in everything from the IYFG & LJ contest communities to Dokuga’s Drabble/Drawble Nights. But ever since I started updating Lord Charming again, I’ve had nothing but a lonely “N/A” on the prompt line. Let’s change that. Continue reading
I receive regular emails from readers letting me know that the art links on my FanFiction.net profile are broken. Frustrating, I know. Way back when I created that compilation, the site allowed exterior linking. Now, they do not. So I’m moving the list here. Continue reading
Fandom terminology can be hard to fathom and tricky to explain. I sometimes blurt out things while watching TV/movies, only to receive strange looks from the uninitiated. Like… “I ship them so hard!” Or… “Well, that’s awkward. Did their OTP just go OT3?” As a veteran alt shipper and ficcer, I’m sometimes asked by newbies what OTP means… or if I have one. So let’s go there. Continue reading
