I'm a raving anime fan, a 20-year SCA veteran and baroness of the Tucson AZ barony, and am owned by four ferrets, two cats and one husband. I used to write quite a bit of Dr. Who fanfic years ago, and got a fair amount published (before the era of internet); I fell out of the habit, but have started back (I wash my hands afterwards). Favorite anime: Ushio & Tora, Detective Conan, anything by Rumiko Takahashi, Read Or Die!, Yami No Matsuei, Mobile Suite Gundam Wing, and (goddess knows why) Master of Mosquiton. I think it's the ending of the last episode that does it-- it's just so darned poignant..... I'm also a big Inu Yasha fan, and I like Weiss Kreuz, Video Girl Ai and Oh! My Goddess as well. BISHOUNEN RULE! Especially the ones with really long hair..... Ahem. I'm in the process of learning Japanese, since I keep buying the ****ed tankoubon and gotta read the buggers SOMEHOW..... Just started Karate as well; you see where the Dark Road of Fanficwriting can lead you to? Be Afraid.
