 | : Original Fiction & Art Recs - Every so often, I wander through a site that has original art that just utterly stuns me or I'll happen to wander into someone's original writing and it was well-done enough to captivate me. I don't have as much time for these things as I wish I could have, but I have enough that I felt a section was warranted. From here on out, it'll probably be mostly original art recs, since they're faster/take less time and I often times stumble over a fanart site that has an original section that's worth noting, so up it goes. |
 | : Webcomics Recs - There are a handful of webcomics that I'll keep up with or that I tore through because I liked the art or the storyline well enough to be engaged by it. I tend to be really fussy about what clicks with me and so probably most of the ones I really like are already well-known, but... well, at least it might provide a starting point? ;;;;; (Will probably be rarely updated, as I tend to go in very long cycles of ebb/flow with webcomics. They have archives, so it's often worth the wait for me to let them pile up for awhile.) |
 | : Other Fic - Okay, see. This section was created mostly because there was an RPF fic that I read that was utterly brilliant and I had no idea where to put it on the site, because it didn't fit any of the other catagories. So I had to make a new one and tuck it away in this section. I'm not sure what else would possibly go up here (as I already have an original section and I'm not much of a reader of RPF), but I suppose I at least needed to have the section. ^_~ |
 | : Ficlets and Drabbles - I decided to start something new recently, because I always passed over recommending drabbles and ficlets, since they were too short to write a proper rec for, but I always pouted a little as some of them were really good or just really funny. With all those "100" comms starting up lately, I've been reading in large doses to get my fill of fic (if you read 10 of them, you get 1,000 words and that's almost like a regular fic? XD) and I wanted a way to share that. So, what I'm going to do is write just a line or two about why I liked it or what it's about and then let the ficlet speak for itself. Arranged by series and pairing, of course, will probably be working the kinks out of this section for awhile. |
 | : Artbits and Sketches - Much in the same way I started rec'ing shortfics/drabbles, I've taken to rec'ing individual art illustrations because I've been ravenous for a few series lately. And there just aren't a lot of LOVELESS or Trinity Blood sites that are in English, but some deviantART or LJ members may have one or two illustrations in their account that I really liked and eventually it can start to add up. I will not be deep-linking to any j-fanartists, because they generally really, really don't like that, but I consider anything on deviantART or LiveJournal (or any other art hosting sites) to be fair game. They'll be arranged by series and pairings/lack of pairings will likely be all over the map. |
 | : LiveJournal Posts - Sometimes I think there are some really interesting discussions or funny little skits or conversations that made me just about blow soda out my nose and I wanted a way to gather some of those links up to shove at people. Mostly because I appreciate it when people link me to that kind of thing as well, but also just because I want to share when I find something that makes me laugh. Or make me start thinking or make me coo in general because something was just so cool or it was just a really interesting resource for the fandom. They'll be very fandom-related, though, so I'll ease up on the meta for this section. ....I think. |
 | : Anime Music Videos - Originally, I linked these just off the anime page, since I didn't really anticipate it growing much or even beyond anime stuff. But then I discovered YouTube.com which allowed me to load the videos without having to download them and I went nuts with it because Noel kept egging me on and it was so easy to watch all of them. Plus, omg, there are some great videos out there! I also, um, sort of have this bizarre addiction to the cheesy songs--anything with I'm Too Sexy or The Hamster Dance or anything by Aqua, I tended to be all over it. Also, you will not believe how many Furuba AMVs there are. ._____. |
 | : Random Ranting - I'm not even sure why I still have this section anymore, since most of what I'd want to rant about goes into my regular journal, but... eh, it rounds this section out nicely, I guess. Still, it's more a leftover from when I started the site two years ago and I wasn't really sure where I was going with the site and I had a bunch of random little rants written up (this was before I got a journal, mind) that didn't really fit onto my blog, so I stuck them up here and it's just... sort of been abandoned since then. I may eventually turn this into more of a policies section (what I look for, more detailed explanations of what turns me off in fics, or just other fic/art-related stuff), but for now it's pretty much fossil-land. |
 | : Manga Reviews - Originally, this site wasn't very big, so I was going to attempt to include some anime/manga reviews in it to help bulk it up a little. Then I really got going with the anime/manga reviews over on SQUEE reviews (which has since been deleted, but I am in the process of reposting everything to this journal and I still post fairly often about what I'm watching in my regular journal), but because it'd be too much trouble to weed the link to this section out of all the pages, I've kept the page up, even if it's gathering a thick layer of dust by now. |
 | : Cosplay Recs - Ack! I can't believe I forgot to link the cosplay section for this long! Not that there's a ton on here, I don't go looking for cosplay that often, but once in awhile.... Mostly, it started with one really awesome Death Note cosplay site, then one or two FMA ones that really tickled my fancy, one or two for rare series that I was delighted just to see any fanworks for then... sorta branched out and there were enough that I felt I could make a page for it. ....or at least that's sort of how it went in my mind, given that the two sites are multiple-series, even those there are only two on this page. ....err, someday I'll expand. Maybe. _o_ |
