Sarah: uh, well, i don't know that much Asian literature in /general/, but as far as Japanese goes, I'd reccomend Murakami. Both of 'em. Ryu I've only read 'almost transparent blue', but it... has impact; Haruki's 'Underground' is interesting as a non-fiction assessment of the Japanese psyche in the light of the Sarin gas attacks (and a bad idea to read on the tube every morning, as i did: what's the strange smell? why do those people look comatose at 7:30am? no, it /can't/ be... ahem.), while 'A wild sheep chase' has vaguely Noonic moments (eeee!) and Norwegian Wood is just a simple love story... along with a load of other novels and short story collections whose names avoid me now.
but then, you probably know about those two already, ne? ^_^

i feel like i should blog (...well, journal) something interesting, find a meme to contribute to. As it is... I'm playing with my journal face and trying to remember as many of my old thirteen-year-old doggerel lyrics as i can. Which is decidedly few.
the icon is the non-human whore from asmo's place, negativised. just because.
maybe i should work. hm. interesting prospect...

Actually, after reading Squid's extremely /accurate/ rant about the 13x5 pairing in Gundam (which I, personally, don't see, but.), i'll... complain! Yeah! Spinning off a point of hers...
I hate, hate hate hate, this assumption that in the perfect Fic Universe Everyone Is Gay. This sort of, well, heterophobia - only on the part of heterosexual females for the most part - really fucking irritates me. Perhaps I'm a pretentious little snit who takes this fanfiction shit far too seriously (although my hopes and dreams do /not/ rest on it, and i'm always amerable to c&c, especially if it rips my writing /apart/, because i can't do that myself and /someone/ needs to /hint), but I get aggravated by this, this AU in which Nobody Is Straight. It doesn't reflect anything like reality, which all art should: I'd call fanfiction an art, yes, the same way i call advertising art and expect literate writing on objects not presumed to be 'literature', like manuals and history books. Which is another rant for another day.
( more. )

Despite having the personality of a downright cold-hearted asshole, you still seem to have a large collection of fan-girls. Everyone seems to love you, and worship the ground your stiff feet walk on. You never let grudges go, you're not a very good friend, and frankly you wouldn't mind if you became death (all the more better to ignore the world around you!). So many people find you dead-sexy it doesn't matter how you act. I guess beauty really is only skin deep!
Which member of WeiB are you? Take the quiz! |
I wouldn't mind if i became death! you /know/ it.

To clarify: the glory of yaoi and shounen-ai is that you /don't/ have to deal with AIDs if you're in, say, Gundam or SKU Universe: they /can/ be nonexistent. Although I'd say lube was /always/ an essential, myself. But, you know, my interests in realism have their limits. ^_^
very late linkage of something interesting: Sarah Q's thing on fanfiction, written around the time of the last great fanfiction blogmeme. With which I in many ways agree. Yes.
