sherryillkAhhh, a KYA!!! worthy fanfic!
I've been searching for a few days now, finding some good stuff but nothing earth shattering.
But, I finally have something that will make me forsake everything, just to finish this story! And it's complete! Double score!
Now, it'll all be complete if I can find a KYA!!! worthy manga! I'm scouring shoujo ones now, hoping for the perfect one -- not too short, not too long and complete. So far, some good stuff, (and some bad stuff that has made me think even I could do better with the translation and I have no confidence what so ever in my Japanese so it's really, really bad) but nothing earth shattering. But this fic has given me hope!
*hurries back it*
So awesome! I hope it ends happily but even if it doesn't, at least end well. I'll be satisfied with that.
edit x1: Man, I think I want to reread HnG. I've been meaning to but I think I need to now. Right now, at this moment, there's nothing I can't imagine wanting to do more than to reread HnG. I've been so scared of it before, both because I have such strong feelings for the series and also because I'll be doing it entirely in Japanese, not as a translation where I'm going for accuracy but as a reader reading a story in a foreign language she's only somewhat familiar with. And who probably will have parts of it go over her head... It seems like such a shame to do that to the series that I have such strong feelings for so I've always hesitated.
This...will definitely be...interesting...to say the least...
edit x2: Am reading an incomplete, shoujo manga that has a surprisingly large amount of deep angst and is one where I half expect to end in a death...
And still haven't slept yet.
Oh, what's even worse? Incomplete with six more volumes to go to the end and hasn't been updated in months. o.O And the death thing. I think I'm going to follow this couple from when they're elementary kids to them falling in love, marrying and then the guy will die young not long after that.
I'm scared. But am still going to read it...
edit x3: Every chapter makes me cry. Seriously, if at the end of all this, I end up reading 12 volumes of this series and he freaking dies, I'm going to be pissed. And probably bawling for hours and that is not going to be a pretty sight. *sniffs* Does this really count as shoujo anymore? I'm having doubts...
