| Free Stuff |
[May. 29th, 2012|08:37 am]

I'm moving and have a bunch of stuff to give away. I figured I'd offer it to my friends first! Everything here and at this link is free (ignore the prices on the other post).
If you live in the US and just want books, movies, etc., I can probably cover the shipping myself since media mail is cheap (I can also do multiple packages if you want some stuff that can be shipped media mail and some that can't). For anything else, I can probably cover part of the shipping cost but not all. If you're outside North America, anything heavy is probably not going to be worth the cost of shipping from me to you unless you're dying to have it.
Comments are screened so you can put your shipping address in without anyone else seeing it. I'll unscreen comments that don't have an address in them.

Copied from Facebook (though I've seen it around LJ too).
Approximately ten fictional characters (television, films, plays, books) who've influenced me and will always stick with me.

Every heroine from Tamora Pierce's Tortall books, especially Daine
Delenn from Babylon 5
Oscar François de Jarjayes from The Rose of Versailles
Kaoru Orihara from Onii-sama e (aka Brother, Dear Brother)
MacKenzie Allen from Commander in Chief
Captain Janeway and Captain Picard from Star Trek
Lois and Clark from Lois and Clark: The Adventures of Superman
Pike Dexter from Big Eden

I'm sure I'm forgetting others.
I'm not tagging anyone--do it if you feel like it. |

| Legit stream of Marimite season 1 |
[Sep. 8th, 2010|03:53 pm]
|
Nozomi/TRSI are streaming Marimite season 1 at http://www.youtube.com/nozomient
It's subtitled (with the subtitle track that includes honorifics), and it looks like they'll be putting up one episode per week (with the first two staying up indefinitely and subsequent episodes staying up for a limited time?).
If you live in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand, now's your chance to catch a legit stream of the show! (The Anime Network also has a listing for Marimite but doesn't appear to have any episodes available for streaming.) |

| Food for thought |

Why is it that I can hear "Big Sis" used on Greek and not bat an eyelid, but the thought of using it for Marimite makes me cringe? They're the exact same sort of mentorship system, so it's as valid an English equivalent as it would be if they were actual sisters. Yes, it's casual, but it can also be affectionate, and I could see a formal speaker using it if it were a standardized part of the system. Maybe it's that I never actually heard it used that way until Greek (I've never been in a sorority and aren't close to anyone who is), which was only just recently, long after I first saw and read Marimite. Or maybe it just doesn't fit with the atmosphere at Lillian. Thoughts? |

| A bit of news about Yuri Hime |
[Jul. 18th, 2010|08:32 am]
|
Issue 21 came out this month; issue 22 will be out in November. From that point on, it will publish in odd-numbered months. It makes sense that they would do it this way, though the news about November surprised me at first.
Because the next issue isn't for 4 months, the final chapter of Mononoke Girls' Academy will be in Mononoke Girls' Academy volume 2, due out next month. (The penultimate chapter is in the issue of Yuri Hime that just came out.)
(News source is Nangoku Banana's blog; Yuri na Hibi also mentions the November thing.) |

| A bit of bad news from Fujieda Miyabi's blog |
[Jul. 9th, 2010|07:34 am]
|
There will be no chapter of Amber Teahouse in the next issue of Yuri Hime.
(There was also no chapter of Twinkle Saber Nova in this month's issue of REX, but I don't know anyone who reads that one in the magazine.) |

| Yuri Hime S to be combined with Yuri Hime |
[Jun. 17th, 2010|07:10 am]
|
Yuri Hime S volume 13 came out today. According to Yuri na Hibi, there was an announcement there stating that volume 14 will be the last issue of the magazine; after that, it will be combined with Yuri Hime (which, you may know, is going bimonthly--one issue every two months--sometime in the future). |

| Yuri and yuri-ish titles from a legit manga rental site |
[Jun. 9th, 2010|06:51 pm]

Renta is one of many legit Japanese manga ebook sites, but I'm mentioning it in particular because it has an English-language interface.
The following titles may be of interest to yuri fans:
12 Days (OEL manga)
Bathroom Guuwa (the yuri in this is minimal, but hey, Okazaki Mari)
Hands Off My Girl
Happy-Go-Lucky Days
Onii-sama E
Papaya Gundan
Princess Knight (an early RoV-esque manga)
Rontai Baby (another delinquent girl manga from Takaguchi Satosumi, the creator of Hana no Asuka-gumi!)
The Rose of Versailles
Secret Garden (the one by Egawa Hiromi and Amagatsu Toriko)
Steady Beat (OEL manga)
Taiyou ga Ochitekuru (mostly het, with a bit of yuri; it's from the creator of Haru yo, Koi)
Has anyone tried any of the other Japanese ebook sites? The only one I've used so far is Manga01, for Real Bian. I generally prefer to just buy hard copies, but digital has its advantages, like no shipping fees and not needing to find a place to put it. |
