For some reason, I am awesomely proud of scoring LESS THAN ZERO.
Your Score: Problem Plays
You scored 36% = Tragic, 41% = Comic, 40% = Romantic, 47% = Historic

You are the "Problem Plays!" The Problem Plays are a group of Shakespeare's plays that cannot be readily identified as either Tragedies or Comedies because they have an equal amount of both. The Problem Plays often present the protagonist with a situation that must be overcome, but after a toilsome journey, the hero almost always comes out on top! Often called "tragicomedies," the Problem Plays contain elements of dark psychological drama, light-hearted comedy, and a bit of romance. This means you are most likely a well-rounded individual with a perfect balance Tragedy, Romance, and Comedy in your life. While you may experience some hard times along the way, odds are you will fight through them and come out on top!

Just passing the news along to my flist.
It's just...I need Amy vs Willow!
I was looking at the manga section too, and just felt overwhelmed. I remember the days when it was difficult to get the Sailormoon manga....
Anyway, anyone following the Buffy comic?
( Read more... )
So it was delightful to discover "Slings and Arrows". Or as I like to think of it "The show that shows how truly awesome Studio 60 COULD have been".
( To be or not to be... )
What character do I remind you of? And why?
You guys are free to pick the fandom, even fandoms I don't know about :)
Ask me why I 'ship something. Why I'm into any particular 'ship or even why I'm *not* into another ship? Ex: What is it you like about so-and-so or why don't you like so-and-so? (Basically just ask me to explain m'self about why I like something about a ship, or how I feel about anything in particular about a couple, etc.)
Alternately ask me the same thing about liking/disliking specific characters or general series.
It's not like other manga/anime haven't made decent enough live action versions. But those versions were never dumbed down for their audience, and their producers got it. Live action alone isn't a toxic medium. (Though seriously, magic kung fu animated? Cool. CGI-ed to death? Probably going to be bad no matter what).
But I think we're going to end up with a product that's more Eragon and less, uh, Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragon in style. Avatar was such a non-commercial show for the most part (it was more about the story than the trading cards if you get my drift), that I don't think people in Hollywood will get it. And I really don't understand why Nick would want to mess with their franchaise this early.
Not to mention the casting. I maintain there is no way they will do this correctly. No way. The cast would have to be entirely non-white if they wanted to follow the show. Given the age range of the characters, they would mostly be non-white unknowns. Do you know any studios that would bank on that? There's a reason why even "Memoirs of a Geisha" ended up with name-branded Chinese actresses in the main roles.
Just saying.
And if they pull the "color-blind casting" card, I'll puke. Seriously.
ETA: Final thought; this really doesn't affect me either way I guess. The only thing I'll go livid over, is if there is any compromise of the original product because of this.
ETAA: Also, this was probably released to trump the other "Avatar" movie, in a battle for the name-rights. I doubt it'll happen for awhile. And I'd like to hear from Mike and Bryan on this.
I seriously think that he was a one-hit wonder director, and that this is a terrible, no good, very bad idea.
If there needed to be a movie, it should have been an animated one. With Mike and Bryan at the helm.
Opinions?
To be frank, it's fresh fodder I'm after.
I'm not going to pay for it mind. It's either library, borrow from a friend, or stand in the bookstore and read in bits for me. My curiosity is not worth around $17 US.
I can't possibly be the only one waiting for the seventh book in such a twisted sort of manner. A small part of me wants to create a deathly hallows LJ comm similar to
Fandom: Code Geass
Characters/Pairings: Cornelia/Gilbert
Rating: PG-13? Nothing explicit, but um, they are uh, 'together' together. Yes, I am a prude. Shuddup. (But seriously, nothing worse than what you'd see at a teen flick)
Disclaimer: Me own nothing. Sunrise own everything.
Summary: The story of a Princess and her Knight. It is not a fairy tale.
( There will never be a happily ever after... )
I haven't written so much fic for a long long time. I knew Code Geass would be a good fandom, fic-wise, for me, but I thought I'd be writing for completely different characters.
Fandom: Code Geass
Character: Euphemia-centric. Some slight slight slight slight Suzaku/Euphemia if you are inclined to see it.
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Sunrise owns all.
Summary: Euphemia is the third Princess of Britannia. Snapshots of her life before the series starts. Spoilers till episode 11.
For all those in fandom who think that Euphie rocks, and for
( Once upon a time, a Princess was born... )
( Fic notes. IE; I hate writing in open canon. Long. Feel free to skip. )
Anyway, I thought the following pictures were neat, and might be of interest to the icon makers on my flist, since I haven't seen the manga drawn pic scanned by anyone else.
( So it doesn't warp your friends page )
