... I need more Okami icons, now that I have the space for it. [FLAILS]

P.S. You guys are AWESOME. :D The happy-thoughts post is seriously going into my bookmarks for pick-me-ups in the future♥

Tiny fandoms = ♥

We interrupt the usual Doctor Who fangirling (hey hey season finale to-mo-rrow! ♥♥♥) to say:

LUDWIG KAKUMEI V3 IS OUT I thought she'd totally dropped the series! U______U Not only that, but v4 is supposed to come out sometime this fall (it's about that vague; all it says in the back is "Fall 2007")!

Most people know Kaori Yuki for "Angel Sanctuary" or the Cain series, but I think Ludwig Kakumei is my favorite of her works♥ Twisted fairytales with a womanizing Prince Charming who loves women best when they're dead, the hapless boytoy manservant, and--

No, really, for me it's the messed up fairytales♥ I mean, Red Riding Hood's first hood and cloak is dyed red with the blood of her parents! She's a killer for hire! When I grow up, I want to write twisted fairytales too!

Also! It seems that there almost always has to be at least one scene where the Good And Faithful Loyal Servant, at some point -- not necessarily of his own free will -- stabs his master. I, I actually really like Lisette/Wilheim, but would totally not say no to laughing at Ludwig/Wilheim. Ahaaaaaa. OH AND IS THAT IDKE? I THINK IT IS. WHY IS SHE THERE?!

Also, FINISHED my Obscure Fandom Challenge fic (there should be more Okami fic out there, and maybe there is, but I am terrified to look), and knocked off one more of the spring_kink stories!

This is what they call "progress," isn't it. :D

P.S. Having caught up (sort of) on Tsubasa as well -- gee. It's kind of an exciting time in all of my current fandoms right now.

AWESOME. 8Dv
