a wandering about of topics
I seriously need to upgrade my journal. Of the six userpics allowed to free basic accounts, only two of mine are positive. >< Ii ja nai, sore wa...
Tonikaku, this is very very cool. Someone who regularly reviews manga wrote a magnificent bit about my own personal favorite, Skip Beat!!! Kyaaaa!! Which of course, I letter! Kyaaa kyaaa! She did a great job with the review, too. Complete with scans of some of my most difficult Skip pages. O_o Here's the link!! Be warned, mild spoilers through vol 5. http://shaenon.livejournal.com/35331.htm
I promised to share another bit of artwork. Unfortunately, as stated previously, I so rarely have time to draw for myself. However, a few weeks ago, Senior Editor Who Loves Me (and who I letter the English for) asked if I could contribute a humorous pic of myself working on the book for her upcoming presentation on the series. Which is actually this weekend, BTW. So I thought for a bit, latched onto an idea, and drew me and the English's main character, Rei. After I sent it to her, Senior Editor emailed me that she loved it, and couldn't stop laughing for some time, thus earning her some rather strange looks from her coworkers. Heh. ^^ I do aim to please!!! Perhaps she'll even get a few chuckles from her audience. This is an accurate self-portraif of me, BTW.
I won't let myelf touch my Samurai Champloo plot bunniesaside from the odd scribbled note until I finish my Naruto fic. So yesterday and today while I was jogging, I let my mind wander around Konoha. I figured out some funny scenes, some sexy ones, and most importantly finally made it inside Gaara's head.
Manga report! I'm temporarily out of English pages, so I'm focusing on finishing Clay v9 as much as possible. And I don't feel like placing them behind the cut today. :P Pages completed since the last report: Clay 9.43-47, 49, 50, 52, 54, and 56. Woohoo! Nana 12.193 and 196. New 60, 62, and 64. Temp (yay!! Temp at last!! It's incredibly cool to see this title on Tsukushi. I'll have to babble about it in a future post! ^^V) fanbook.227 and 228. Skip 9.48 and 59. Yellow 10, Orange 9, total: 19 pages. Whee!! Too bad those are spanned over two days...ah well. Must work!!! ><

I've subconsciously known what he was thinking through chapters one and two, but never actually wrote it out until now. Very interesting what I discovered. And of course, my choice in writing the fic in the first person through my OC's POV limits the reader to the OC's conclusions and observations about what Gaara might possibly be thinking. So the paragraph I spent 10 minutes typing just now will never make it into the fic, but it sure helps me figure out what will happen in Chapter 3. ^^V I had a glimmer of this a few weeks ago, but now it is definitely there. And no, Gaara-sama will not be spared being the occasional object of humor. Heehee. ^^ At least he won't be pouting or standing among hanging potted plants this time. No, it will be worse. >:D Gaara-sama, I tease you because I love you.
BTW, I've noticed an odd thing in my fic's stats on the Pit. For those who don't know, Fanfiction.net keeps page hit stats for stories and their individual chapters. The odd thing is that chapter two's hits keep going up almost every day, but chapter one is barely advancing. In fact, chapter one stayed at 100 hits for about a week, while chapter 2 raked up 4 or 5 hits on its own. Bwa? Does one person have a thing for chapter two and they can't stay away? Is this their method of checking to see if I've updated? Was chapter two referenced somewhere with a direct link, thus leading people directly to it?? Seriously, I'm curious about this. *drums fingers thoughtfully*
