Woe Is I

[redbrunja]

The highlight of my day is probably going to be watching the latest episode of TVD and/or possibly going to the library to pick up a book, which leaves me a lot of time to lie on the couch bemoaning my fate and hitting the refresh on my email account.

So talk to me flist. Ask me questions, order me to beta, query my about pairings, link me to things, you know the drill.

Manga:

1.) Liar Game (http://www.onemanga.com/Liar_Game/). I'm not exactly fond of the art for this series, because it's honestly not that good, but I am a huge fan of the concept and execution. I also am kind of a big fan of the "hah hah, I tricked you!" and then "Ahah,but no, I tricked you!" plot things.

2.) Future Diary (http://www.onemanga.com/Mirai_Nikki/)

I like this series even though it's put out by Tokyopop because it's actually very creepy. Like, you think it's all cutesy at first, and you're like, d'awww, there's a cute stalker girl chasing this little whiny guy around, before you realize that, NO REALLY, SHE'S FUCKING CRAZY and DANGEROUS and KILLS EVERYONE WHO GETS CLOSE TO THE MC and the main character needs to get the fuck away and then and then, everyone slowly goes crazy, main character too. And the main character just... kind of snaps at some point, after a long, lonely downward spiral after several several disappointments with other people, and trying to make friends with other people who betray him and allow bad things to happen to him. And it's the... transformation of everyone in the series that I found particularly interesting. And the creepiness. I really like creepy. As much as I'd love everything to work out for everyone, it's far more interesting to see how crazy and disappointed the MC is going to get.

Query:

1.) How did you get into fanfiction?

2.) Do you have an absolute favorite character? (Or if you can't pick one, then a handful.) If so, why?

3.) What's your plan for the FUTURE?

Ha ha, these drive me CRAZY. But I know a lot of people who like them (witness the popularity of Death Note).

*raises eyebrow*

Wow. That does sound worth checking out, although again, not my typical manga.

1.) How did you get into fanfiction?

I realized that other people had the same kind of stories in their heads, and that they typed them out and posted them on the internet.

2.) Do you have an absolute favorite character? (Or if you can't pick one, then a handful.) If so, why?

Nope, I don't have one favorite character, and my list of favorites would probably break my keyboard. If you're curious about a specific fandom, I could probably narrow it down for you.

3.) What's your plan for the FUTURE?

Go to Europe with my mother, come back, get a job, get a better job in the publishing industry, move somewhere epic.
