29 and 30. Selfie Day
And so Inuvember 2017 ends. It was fun to write, even if some of my entries aren't as god as they could /but hey, a lot of them are really fun to read... I guess?/
Since I'm not fond of taking/posting selfies I decided to go for something else. Brace yourselves because I'll write something about myself. No, no, no, don't run away, I won't describe my face or anything boring like this!
A year ago I stumbled upon an anime. I had been rewatching stuff all Autumn - like Kamisama Kiss, Noragami and other anime series I like. I was looking for something new, so I went to yt and tried to see what people recommend in a "xx anime similar to xyz anime" way. My main fandom was and kinda still is The Silmarillion, but I really wanted to find something fresh and new, a nice show to watch, ongoing series I was watching at that time were on hiatus or not that exciting and stuff. I also really needed a break from Tolkien fandom after ca 6 years of writing 6 rp blogs for characters from Tolkien's world.
I made a list of possibilities and went down it - as usual. And finally I came to Inuyasha - the anime I had wanted to watch a few years ago, but brother had scared me away because 'it contains bugs' - I kinda have a little bug-phobia and if stuff on the screen is too ew I won't watch it. I decided to try to watch IY despite my brother's warning - I just have to test stuff myself, I guess. I told myself that maybe I could close my eyes during the bug parts? (What, I really wanted to watch it, I already saw a guy in red kimono and puppy ears and was intrigued. And it was supposed to have a lot of Japanese youkai in it, so yeah).
Let's just say I watched all the seven seasons and 4 movies in 8 days.
Since that time I've read tons of IY fics. And when I say tons I mean TONS. Don't judge me, it's fun to read fics. I mean - it's to broaden my vocabulary and memorize grammar and idioms. It's like English homework. I watched the show in English dub, then with subs, then I read manga.
The last February I started to write my first IY fic. which atm is still not posted anywhere, nor is it finished because ca 6th chap I decided it's too silly and no one would want to read it. I plan to rewrite and post it some day, but for now.. yeah.
It is fun to write IY fics - mostly because people don't come to me and tell me stuff like "an orc girl in your fic has braids and red ribbons in them, that's so wrong, orcs are ugly and have no culture blah, blah, blah" and I don't have to write lengthy replies to idiots who can't understand conccepts like "filling blank pages" and "author didn't write/draw it, but they didn't say it's impossible, in real world in similar curcumstances it works/exists, so why not adjust it to the world's logic?", and - most importantly - 'fanfic"... Ooops, I got carried away, sorry.
Anyway - I want to give a big hug to all people who read and comment my fics. To make stories people like to read is a great joy to me and I am always pleased to talk to you or just see that the thing I posted made you smile.
You all are amzing. No matter if you draw, make amvs, cosplay, write for ages or just started, or just read and comment. You're making this fandom special and amazing. You're beautiful and creative, positive and geeky in the most amazing of ways. I'm extremely glad I am a part of this fandom, even if it took me ages to stumble upon this anime.
