Question....

This is for folks who write fan fiction for both anime and books/live action series.

Do you find it more difficult to write anime fan fiction than to write book/live action? If so, what are the exact problems you encounter? How do you find the two genres vary? Do you notice differences in writing dialogue or in description?

And I'm not asking about just animated genre fan fiction, but specifically anime. As we've seen, I am slowly toeing the shallow end of the anime fan fiction pool, so that's what's raised the questions. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Generator Fun!

This is what happens when Fey is too sick to do anything useful.

I posted a bit ago about The Seventh Sanctum Generator, and the things I was generating with it. At rivendellrose's request, I'm posting a list of some of the better ones.

I dare those of you who are adventurous to actually use these in fics/drabbles/art. Some of them are pretty damn good. If you do, please link back in the comments as I'd love to read it!

One of Those Things....

...That had to be an LJ update.

So, I've been having a bit of an issue with dandruff. So much so that I ended up with medicated shampoo for it. When I open it, I was struck by the smell. I brought it out to nekokoban, who smelled it and had a sneezing fit. We realized it smelled exactly like the dog's shampoo. So, I grab the dog's shampoo. I compare the two active ingredients. They're the same. I read off one of the labels:

'Aides in the relief of dandruff, itching, dryness and other types of skin conditions.'

'For the relief of dandruff, itching, dryness, flaking and other skin conditions.'

One is form my shampoo, one is from the dog's shampoo.

There is one ingredient that's different. I smell like a grooming parlor. My sinuses will never recover.

And the kicker? The dog shampoo was a hell of a lot cheaper.

This so deserved my 'wtf-iest' icon.
