rheasilvias journal...
Sum up your former/current fandoms in a few sentences, as if they were human beings/very convincing sockpuppets on your flist. Ask your friends to guess which fandoms you're talking about!
May I introduce the following animes, books, and mangas:
1. There were countless references, endless rides, comical elements and serious issues. Sometimes brilliant, sometimes on the edge of pain. Your violet sparkles, golden light, and green eyes caught me.
[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, guessed correctly byelbales]
2. Nobody believed in you. There were four attempts before the fifth turned out working, and even that was a haphazard chaos, few people put faith in. Yet it worked out, in the past and the future and even in the darkness of a new middle ages.
[Babylon-5, not guessed]
3. Spaceships on the surface, a war against the gods on a planet not fully terraformed yet. You are a beautifully drawn movie, but still I always believed your story to be more complicated than could be told in your roughly two hours.
[Big Wars, not guessed]
4. When I discovered that you are based on novels written in the 1940s I was thrilled. But before I even read them, I played in my mind with your drop-formed ship.
[Captain Future by Edmond Hamilton, not guessed]
5. I just discovered you, after I fell in love with your arch enemy a few weeks ago. Your name means nothing, but you are anything but. In fact, you kind of remind me of the hero in 4. :)
[Cosmowarrior Zero by Leiji Matsumoto, not guessed]
6. You are feckless and powerful, strong and confused; a knight in shining armor, who scrapes his knee on the parapet of a crumbling wooden fortress with an owl to lead him through the shadows into the arms of one soon to be king.
[Fortress in the Eye of Time by C. J. Cherryh, guessed correctly byelbales]
7. You are tough, smart, and deadly - and despite you telling your own tale, I'm sticking around waiting eagerly for the next natural death.
[John Rain the assassin created by Barry Eisler, not guessed]
8. Kill the frogs! And then fall back to earth, Commander! 264 is waiting for your astrogator.
[Raumpatrouille, guessed correctly byrheasilvia]
9. You leave none of your characters truly unharmed, though your creators proclaimed never to do a resurrection, at least one of your (minor) characters came back from destruction.
[X, guessed correctly bysolo____]
10. You carry the X and the pentagram. Sakura petals flutter like snow flakes through your blood tinted pictures. Your men are dead, guilt-ridden, powerful, mysterious and/or perverted.
[Yami no Matsuei or Descendants of Darkness, guessed correctly byjjblue1]
11. Your dead sidhe prince changed forever my perception of what elves (and sidhe) are supposed to be. I never wrote fanfic about you, but there are two pastel chalk pictures and an original shortstory of mine, clearly being inspired by you.
[The Dreaming Tree by C. J. Cherryh, guessed correctly byelbales]
And? Any idea who they are? :)

Date: 2006-12-02 14:31 (UTC)From:2. Suoh is kind of suspicious about Seishiro and since the Sakurazukamori is supposedly a fairytale, he keeps his ear close to the rumors & old-wives-talk.
ANd of course, are you sure he didn't know it was Subaru? ;)
3. Hokuto's disappearance. Yes. That is a troublesome aspect, I spotted myself - unfortunately, only after that part was written. I decided to live with the error in this regard.
And I never stated that there are bodies buried. Please! Crime Scene Investigations would have a field day then!
4. I didn't recognize the place in Vol. 19, either. I decided for a place that worked for the fic and didn't contradict the drawings that much.
5. No, the dragons per se are inspired by the manga & animation. That there are two is due to the nature of the Taiji symbol of the Dao. :)
6. TB German gives the Sumeragi Estate in Sagano, Kyoto. The rest was my choice of scenery.
7. I didn't find a hint of where Togakushi is. I needed a place far off, so I decided to put it in the East. Deduction of locations is always ... a guess if you can't read the street signs. :)
Did Yuto leave Togakushi or KAmui's flat? That's not identical.
8. Fuma as a minor. No.
But Kamui's papers are conencted with the shrine warden, Fuma's father. So far, no authority stumbled about it. ;)
Sorry for the elongated replies.
And again - thank you for easing my worries about a major goof-up. I think I did reasonably well within my limited choice of story source. :)

Date: 2006-12-02 20:40 (UTC)From:I should have known you would have checked it!
2. LOL I don't know why but the idea that Subaru's the only one who thinks his feeling for Seishiro aren't noticed by other people amuse me!
3. True you didn't state it. I wrote this checking chap by chap if, maybe, I remembered wrong... but it seems I still shouldn't do work late in the night... sorry...
4. I've just got X 18.5
The pic is clearer than the scans so I'll try to use it to find some clues... however, after reading X should have 21 volumes I've been wondering if the place in which they currently are is truly the place for the last battle or they'll later move on Tokyo Tower and fight there too...
If only CLAMP would consider ending X...
6. the Italian version too. However I checked and the Sagano in Tokyo should be a neighborhood with many temples, as well as Rakushi-sha, the Fallen Persimmon Hut in the Ukyo Ward (or Ukyo-ku). I hadn't been able to find a Sagano ward... unless with Sagano-ku you mean something different from 'ward'...
7. In the manga Yuto and Sorata began fighting just out of Fuma's house. In the manga Kamui's flat is never mentioned/showed (before seeing the anime series I was wondering where the poor boy was sleeping). Kamui's old destroyed house was in the neighbourhood of Fuma's temple if I don't remember wrong.
8. And Fuma's so tall and serious looking people might mistake him for a 20 year old boy... so it fits!
Don't worry, I love long replies... and it was my fault for writing so much in the first place!
You did wonderfully well so don't worry!

Date: 2006-12-02 21:03 (UTC)From:6. But Subaru travels to Kyoto to meet his grandmother at the estate. So assuming the estate in Tokyo doesn't really make sense.
7. :) One of the parts where I always confuse manga and anime. *sigh*
8. *g*
*blush* thank you!

Date: 2006-12-02 21:54 (UTC)From:5. Ops, sorry, I typed Tokyo... I meant Kyoto... I keep messing up the two. It's a mistake I began doing in childhood when I noticed they were written with the same letters... The correct location for Sagano anyway should be
Kinki-chiho (Kinki region... also knon as Kansai region) - Kyoto-fu (Kyoto Prefecture) - Kyoto-shi (Kyoto City) - Ukyo-ku (Ukyo Ward) - Sagano
Wikipedia has no articles for it... it's just mentioned in the Ukyo-ku (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukyo-ku%2C_Kyoto) article.
7. Don't worry... I do confuse them often too... I'm always busy checking everything...

Date: 2006-12-02 22:00 (UTC)From:7. Yes, but at some point I have to stop checking and write down my ideas or I never get the next chapter done.
