she lives! still!
Contrary to rumors of homicidal ghosts in badly photoshopped paintings, or disappearance down a whirling vortex to a strange new world, I am in fact alive and well and still living in Kyoto, and since I have succeeded in finding a job (at the most infamously evil of the eikaiwa co.'s, but let's not get into that; a job is a job and a visa is a visa and the important thing is I am not getting deported. I would have to be dragged kicking and screaming from my Book Offs and combinis and kaiten sushi places, not to mention my imouto-tachi, and it would be terrifically embarrassing) I'm likely to be here for a good long while yet.
April is apparently International Guilt the Author Month; in the course of a week I received two convincing inducements to continue with various unfinished projects, in the form of lovely fanart, a rare piece for Illicit Miracles (well-timed; my webmanga's annual hiatus ends next Monday) and this one from Ru for Tiger Hunt. Which I will be posting a new chapter to. Uh. Soon. Marvelous bribes, at any rate.
Meanwhile, looking at these last two months in Japan...I have a problem. The first step is acceptance, right? My name is X-parrot, and I'm addicted to doujinshi. I have some 43 YGO doujinshi and counting. ...or will be counting, next time I go to Mandarake's. They're not all Kaiba kyoudai or Kaiba/Yami, either - have a few Yugi x Jou (no, really, Yugi's on top half the time. Jounouchi is the world's uke) and even a Honda x Jou. Though almost no Yami/Yugi, not for lack of searching. WTF, Japanese fandom? Is that one too obvious for you or something? (Though![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
immicolia - success! Found a couple Kaiba x Yugi, one of which I need to translate because from what I was getting it's sweet enough to rot your teeth. And might even feature Yugi angsting about his other self, wasn't sure.)
I really must scanlate some of these, share thecrack wealth. Also need to post my translation of the Q&A from the char guide book, Takahashi-sensei's got some interesting insight on Kaiba. Such as the thing that screwed him up the most about Gozaburo's death was because Gozaburo killed himself, Seto can't exactly take it as his win. ...At least I think that's it. My grasp of written Japanese is none too perfect. But I can give the gist, at least.
