Soooo who's seen any Sailor Moon Classic recently and can recommend to me an episode in which there's a particularly high level of successful flirtatious? Or any anime, really, as long as it's likely Adrien Agreste, anime junkie, has seen it, and the relevant episode(s) are available for me to see. Bonus points for f/f!

Also, over 1K of today's words look like this:

Adrien checks the time, winces, says something about needing to be home for dinner. Marinette retorts, dinner at my place, you're invited. Adrien tries to duck out of it. Marinette gets up in his face and says, you're invited. Adrien relents. Alya asks what just happened. Adrien says something like, "I have learned that when she uses that tone of voice, even if she is saying two times two makes five, I am better off going along with it."

"Two times two is five," say Marinette and Catherine in unison, and Catherine continues, "Can't you count?"

That's planning, not writing, you know? But I'm counting it!

SAILOR MOON R THE MOVIE IS COMING TO THEATERS IN JANUARY

\o/ \o/ \o/ DANCE PARTY

Okay apparently I am really attached to the original dub actor for Artemis in Sailor Moon. I just watched the new-dub episode introducing him and he sounds wrong.

Wait. Usagi's fourteen. Rei's about fourteen. Mamoru's in college, according to the original anime (episode wherein Rei decides she is totally going on a date with Mamoru). Senior high school per Crystal. There is no way this maths to be un-creepy. Even if we assume Mamoru in Crystal is as young as it's possible to be in senior high in Japan, which is what, sixteen?, it doesn't math for a year or so.

Verdict on Sailor Moon Crystal episode one: I like the original anime better. The new animation is definitely prettier, though.

And I am strictly not allowed to go watch more episodes of the original anime until I have made words on Camp NaNo.

Watching Sailormoon. So pleased that—at least in the first two episodes—the Suck Fairy hasn't paid the show a visit. Unlike, as Silver Adept is exploring at the Slacktiverse, Anne McCaffrey's Pern. Which I think I initially consumed at about the same time.

Also really pleased that Hulu doesn't do the thing where the Print Screen button isn't allowed to take a screenshot that includes the currently displayed frame of Hulu video.

My first fandom was Sailormoon. I remember inventing my own Outer Scouts before discovering—and I don't know how I discovered this—that it was a Japanese show and there was more to it than had aired in the US. I latched on to the Sailormoon Millennia Trilogy fanfic mostly, which I think may have been after we got S and SuperS in the States? Never did get Stars as far as I know, and SMMT has an alternate to Stars as well as a prequel and sequel to the series. My first published fanfic was fanfic of SMMT, and it died with Geocities, and while I know it still exists on the Wayback Machine, please do not go looking for it.

My second fandom was Harry Potter. I spent every free moment between bus arrival at my high school and the bell for homeroom in the library, saving fanfics to a floppy disk so I could read them in leisure at home. And I read the first five books dozens of times. I wasn't as impressed with the sixth, only read it maybe a half dozen times, and the seventh I think I've only read twice. Needless to say, it's been a while since I've been in that fandom, except for Anne Walsh's Dangerverse. I wrote some fanfic for that, too, which still exists on fanfiction.net.

My third fandom was Supernatural. Lots of y'all know me through Supernatural. This was also my first slash fandom. I got into it the summer before season five, saw Lazarus Rising on a rerun and got hooked, and I was so busy marathoning the first three seasons that I missed the reruns of episodes two and three of S4. (Also the rerun of the stripper episode, but I think that one just didn't reair.) And I was reading spn_j2_bigbang as I went. I was a little confused that summer, but once I got it all straightened out in my head I had a blast. I still mean to finish the Epic Bechdel Fixit Project. That's gonna be entertaining, though...

I've had flings with other fandoms, Community, Lost Girl, synecdochic et al's Clan Mitchell Stargateverse, but they were never my fandom, you know?

I seem to be between fandoms at the moment. Unless we count Fairy Tales and Related Fandoms. Or Blow That Trumpet Gabriel, which really shouldn't count as a fandom for me because I'm the canon creator... I'm really enjoying this year's Yuletide fandom, but for obvious reasons I can't name it, and equally obviously there's not a whole lot out there for it.
