ravages of time, sga-rant

[naanima]

worldserpent, you might like to know that I spent precious accounting-tutorial preparation time yesterday (and this morning around 3:00am) reading Ravages of Time. First off I'd like to say it is a bit too early for me to pass judgement on the series (just finished volume 1), however, I do like the overall feel of it (more 'Chinese' than some of the other adaptations of ROTK) and will definitely be continuing with it.

To tell the truth I'm still trying to get over the urge to squee 'com OMFG! I have this huge soft spot for this particular type of art style. (Though I do have one complaint; the translation causes me massive migraines mainly because I'm pretty sure some of the phonetics is in Cantonese rather than Mandarin, and it takes quite a bit for my brain to go 'Oh! I get it.' I am incapable of making mad leaps of logic at 3 in the morning -_- ;;)

nekomancy, I just realised that I still have your b-day present at my house. Hmm, must get it to you when I have free time.

ETA 1: Where are the GEN!FANFICTION in Stargate Atlantis?! ALL I WANT is some good TEAM-DYNAMIC fanfiction with PLOT, NO p0rn, and OMFGBBQ!NO ROMANCE! WHY is there a LACK?!

Considering how new sga is the amount of slash in the fandom freaks me out. It is not that I can't see the pairing(s) (het and slash) but I'm more obsessed about the whole 'TEAM-DYNAMIC' and 'OMFG!WRAITH and GENNI!' aspect of the series than I am over specific 'pairings'.

In addition, I kind of think Female!Wraith and Sheppard is kind of hawt. *gets shot*

WOE ME!

ETA 2: amei, the Batman WON the 'Who's the Cooler Superhero' poll. Eleven votes to Superman's ONE vote. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (Hell, even Spiderman won against Superman *sniggers*) The MOB has SPOKEN!

Argh, hope you do well with the tutorial...

(Oh, good to hear that you liked it! Yeah, it is pretty Chinese, although I have no idea on the historical accuracy of the designs, buildings, etc. I like the art style too; no screentone, lots of shading, gives it a different feel, really.)

Dad used to read to us ROTK in those tiny blue-cover Chinese picture books when we were small. You know, the expensive, authentic-looking kind o.O

He got a kick out of realising that they had ROTK doujinshis.

O I didn't vote. See all the Supes fans saw through your little plot, and like me, decided to boycott, since it was obviously rigged. (except one dedicated fan.)

Yes, well the MOB thought FF7: Advent Children was cool.
