Pseudo-cuento de hadas (Skip Beat!)
Kyouko se ofusca por su papel de Bo, y se ve actuando en el cuanto de hadas más ridículo de la historia con el tipo que odia. Aparición especial de Bridge Rock.

Another translation into Spanish by Jenny Flint! This one is of my only Skip Beat! fic. I'm behind with Skip Beat! canon once again, but I've seen that people have had large reactions to the latest chapter. Chapter 195 or something? Sounds like it's time to catch up again.

I want to write mooore. I've been posting fic translation after fic translation, but I haven't been posting any new fic! ): December is already looking to be not a very good fic writing month.

I also wish that typesetters grew on trees. I could really use the help of a typesetter to actually get Kimi to Boku scanlation releases started again. I'm almost desperate enough to typeset the chapter myself. Anyone know of any typesetters looking for work? |D;; Or is anyone willing to freelance for a chapter...
I can almost see the end of the prologue! *_____* The prologue wasn't meant to be this long. OTL /dislikes the boring prologue. I mean, if the prologue turns out to be 10,000 words, then what does that leave the rest of the chapters...? I plan to wrap this novel up in 50k!

I didn't get much farther with advancing the story today. I just... expanded on scenes. I'm barely at the recommended word count at 5006 words! (I left the last sentence hanging, haha, because I'd passed 5000 words.)

I feel I'm getting a better feel for Tekatme's voice now. But I still need to get a better handle on the plot. And I haven't managed to describe Tekatme's hair at any point in the story yet. *pouts* This needs to be fixed because I find the two tufts of his hair that always fly up very adorable... XD;

-----
distractions for today:
- reading Detective Conan theories and reading recent chapters (ahhhh, mysteries are complicated. no way I can weave something this complicated...)

- reading Noblesse chapter 208, Skip Beat chapter 182, Hunter x Hunter 323 (it is getting exciting again, and yayyy, Killua's family!), Junai Labyrinth v5 (I think I might nominate this for Yuletide...*loves shoujo, which gets very little fic usually* I'm still undecided about what to nominate...)

- deck making (still need to finish)

Will be prioritizing [livejournal.com profile] colors_tcg stuff now (baaaacklog!), which might mean I won't be able to reach my Day 4 word count. We'll see.

Back from AX!

Another "back from AX" post. If you follow me elsewhere, apologies for the repetitive post. XD;

I felt like AX was over in a flash! I was so pushed for time right before the con, and then when the con actually started, it was over just like that. :'D Maybe it's because I didn't do much at this con... usually I at least go to a few gatherings to take pics or to get pics taken of, but this time I didn't go to any. I'm kind of sad I missed the World God Only Knows gathering, because I'd have liked to see a bunch of Keimas all playing their PSP! XD; They must've had some epic poses!

Will be typing up a huuuuuuge con report after this! With pics!

While I was away, my proof copy of my NaNoWriMo novel arrived!! So fast! I ordered it on the 29th, I think? I got it on the 1st in less than 2 days??? (this was one of the things that made me go, omg, I don't have enough time!! yet they managed to send the finished copy to me so quickly, haha) My parents called me while I was at the con telling me that my book arrived. I was like, "eeee, I want to see it!"

So yes. Here's the book now that I have it in my hands!

super duper bad photo with terrible lighting, ew, but here it is! A few more photos under the LJ-cut!

Been catching up with some manga today, like KHR, Bakuman, Skip Beat, and Noblesse. I have a lot more to catch up with! *__* Oh, I also received my assignment for [livejournal.com profile] parallelsfic. I so need to get a headstart on this. I matched one fandom, but I think the others are doable too! Just need to do some review and consume some new series that I've been meaning to get into anyway. XD; Wonder if I should still write a letter to my writer even though assignments have already gone out... X3;;

I also have a ton of comments, messages, and emails to get through, so if I haven't gotten to you yet... I'm getting there! XD; If you're afraid I might've overlooked something though, feel free to make a new comment or something! XD
Skip Beat!
Caught up with Skip Beat! yesterday. I was around 13 chapters behind (I think I left off around 163 or so). The current arc is intense! I'm also glad I had a lot of chapters saved up because now I'm back to...waiting.

Barajou no Kiss
I started reading this during the week! Totally a reverse harem, and I think everyone will like Anis by the end. I like this stuff about contracts between her and her knights quite a lot though (especially now they're trying to "level up" their contracts), and it amuses me to no end that each of these guys are represented by different colored roses (red rose, black rose, white rose, blue rose, etc). It all felt kind of silly (there are quite some comedic moments too), but then the manga would sometimes amaze me with some other turn of event. |D

My favorite character is Mutsuki! He's the dark, silent type and quite standoffish, but he's also very devoted, and I love that part about his past. I so want to hear his lines about waiting for his Dominion voiced. I think I will need to find the drama CDs... *looks them up* Oh~, he's voiced by Tsuda Kenjirou there.

NaNoWriMo
NaNoWriMo??? XD; Hm, so I reached 50k last November but did not manage to complete my novel. CreativeSpace has an offer for winners to print their novels. The deadline is June, which... means the deadline is almost going to pass soon! I hope it hasn't passed yet?? I dusted off my NaNo and started editing a few things... but yeaaaah, I don't think I can get this into shape. It is sadly, very plot-less, and I don't think any amount of poking will make it less plot-less.

Reading the beginning parts after I now actually know what happens later changes things a bit though. I replaced mentions of "skirmish" with "dispute" since... that was so not a skirmish. XD; Hm, unless I shake things up a bit more and actually go the skirmish route... XD;

I haven't done much of any writing this month or the previous month. Hoping to finish a oneshot (that I started last month) by next week...
Finished the Skip Beat anime yesterday~. It was lots of fun and had me giggling so much. I wondered how Skip Beat would translate into an anime. I don't like having too much SD faces in anime (like in Nadeshiko Shichi Henge, Magic Knight Rayearth...) but I guess Skip Beat wouldn't be Skip Beat without those faces. There was much more Sho in the beginning of the series than I remembered, which suits me just fine because Sho scenes always make me grin. Kyoko is very, very cool, but she does remind me a bit too much of the mangaka's previous heroine in Tokyo Crazy Paradise. The relationship between Kyoko and Ren (with Yashiro's cheering on the side) has a similar feel to Tsukasa and Ryuji's relationship with Kamo-san's attempts to get them together on the side.

Anyway, back to the anime. I definitely recommend it. Bo scenes were FANTASTIC. The squeaky chicken feet added to the humor. Kyoko's seiyuu made me realize how over the top Kyoko can be. The bouncing "love me" symbol throughout the show... XD;; Some scenes had me shivering with Kyoko's brilliance. ♥ Stick with it and you'll get pulled in wanting to see how Kyoko transforms.

And now, turning back to the manga...
