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? :)

Leeza... *Sigh*. I wish she'd finish Combination! (and she has the rights to that one).
Or maybe Yuto is a fatalistic trout? *g*

Date: 2006-12-02 23:01 (UTC)From:Hakkeden is an ancient 'Samurai Novel' in 108 chapters.
Here (http://www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~opaku/) more info.
Leeza is just cruel! But I'll content myself if they would consider printing vol 6 in Italy. Why only vol 1-5?
It might be... but it still make me wonder what happened to him...

Date: 2006-12-02 23:06 (UTC)From:Besides, let's not start about the issues you get with causality in that regard.
I know the story of Hakkenden. I just didn't care much about it.
Wish I could get my hands on vol.6 somehow. In German there's also only vol. 1 - 5. No idea if the story was ever continued. *sigh*
What happened to him? He's a Clamp character in pastel colored suits. That should make any man fatalistic! *eg*

Date: 2006-12-02 23:41 (UTC)From:*sighs* I only know about vol. 6... so I've no idea if the story continued further either...
ROTFL Poor Yuto...
