It's not dead, Jim!

[castalie]

Do they really say that the Sentinel fandom is dead? I think they do, and the more I think about it, the more I want to laugh. But hey, we all need a good laugh now and then make that all the time, so why not? *g* And I know how some people always say it's dead because they think MLs are The Only Valid Community and LJ is Just Rubbish, but to me, TS as a fandom really came to life when I joined LJ - slowly at first because it felt like everyone was dispatched and there was no gathering point, but now? You can't say stuff like that - well, no, you can, but don't feel surprised if people laugh in your face *g* Sure it's not SG or heaven forbid HP, but just because a fandom is tiny, doesn't mean it's non-existent per se *shrug* I feel totally estranged from TS as far as MLs go, but on LJ? I feel right at home [/sap]

Hmm yes, this little pointless comment was brought to you by some of the more recent talks on TS place on LJ and how it's been discovered that Jim isn't the only one who can go all territorial when he wants to lol

So! I feel fine and rested today. No trace of the Big Bad Bug that knocked me out the past few days, yay! Also, flist? You're so sweet *hugs flist*

I managed to catch up with my revisions which makes me quite chipper and I also found time to watch some DVDs and to start my own response for sentinel_thurs, which is actually the most incredible point of the story *wide eyes* Mind you, the fic is, huh... not finished or anything but it's still there. And I'm not lying, audrarose - and even alinewrites as a matter of fact - read it and everything. Actually no, this is also the incredible point of the story, ie Audra and I finally succeeded in catching each other on Y!M! For real! Will wonders ever cease? lol And thanks again for the help *g* Hopefully I'll do something with said fic today, maybe it'll even become a real ficlet *is hopeful*

Oh and this has nothing to do with the rest, but while I was still sorta comatose the other day, I watched my copies of Kyou Kara Maou and I'm soooooooo in love with that anime. It's great! I love pretty much all the characters but my preference goes to Conrad. I can't get enough of him, eek! And after watching the episodes, I was curious and tried the fandom, to see what pairings were the norm and I was a bit disappointed because... where's the Gwendal/Conrad angsty & intense hotness, guys? Where is it? I get the Wolfram/Yuuri, I mean a) it's really sweet b) it's canon, man, seriously - but I'm all for Gwendal/Conrad myself and apparently... it just doesn't exist *pout* Bad fandom, bad! So if someone hears something? I'm here. You know, waiting. Hoping.

Also, does someone - am still talking to the anime crowd on my flist here - know about Legend of the Galactic Heroes? I bought the VHS eons ago and hopelessly fell in love with that anime - yes, it happens a lot. I was first ecstatic to learn that it was actually an epic based on tons of novels and which series had no less than 110 episodes and totally crushed when I realised apparently said series wouldn't be released. Not here anyway. And now I want to buy the DVD and I can't find it! And it's starting to obsess me and it's driving me crazy *is obsessed* So? I'm sharing it with you. Aren't you glad I discovered LJ almost two years ago, uh?

OMG, you are a Conrad fan too - I tell you we are a rare breed!! As for Gwendal/Conrad fics, if you come across any, please, please, please, let me know!

know about Legend of the Galactic Heroes?

No, I don't, I'm afraid >.<;;! Tell me more about it because you can download the whole lot here ^_^!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Eeeek you're a fan of Conrad too *glomp* We're a rare breed? OMG how is that possible? Conrad! *hugs him tight*

And you believe in Gwendal/Conrad as well? We'll be the martyr of this fandom together, apparently. I'll let you know if I find a fich with them, promise *g*

You can download so many episodes on bittorrent? OMGIcan'tbelieveit!!

Okay so yeah *takes a deep breath* I can't tell you much unfortunately cause the VHS I had contained like one episode only, and seemed to be from a middle season or something like that. But! I still can tell you a bit, alright. So it's actually an epic which tells the story of a huge war between the Alliance and the Empire. But it's different from most of anime we know because we're not told to really pick one clan over the other. We follow both sides, from the highest level to the lowest... there's also a lot of respect between some of the officers even though they're on opposite side and it's like a battle of will, or intelligence more than a simple war between holy saint good guys and mega mean villain guys, you know? Also, the soundtrack is actually taken from classical pieces, which gives a very special feel to the episodes and a very classy feel as well.

You can go here (http://www.logh.net/loghinfo.htm) for some detailed info. And you'll find a list of characters (http://www.logh.net/whos1.htm) as well. The episode I had portrayed massively --hopefully they are some of the main figures of this saga-- Reinhard von Lohengramm (http://www.logh.net/who/w1loweng.htm) and Yang Wen-Li (http://www.logh.net/who/w1yangwe.htm) who were both really fascinating *g*

Anyway, it's a series I would have gotten into like whoa, so if you end up downloading even just a single episode... could you let me know, please pretty please? Thanks *g*

Oh yes, I have much love for Gwendal as well so G/C make a delicious pairing, imho ^_~! It is tragic that more people do not realise this *nods*! Now should we call it Gwenrad or Condal *muses*...

so if you end up downloading even just a single episode...

*smiles* Tonight is your lucky night! As there is no Lost to download *weeps* I have decided to download the first four episodes of this series instead ^_^!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I've never really fallen for a non-existent pairing before... I don't like it *pout*

Hmm well following the theory that Gwendal is top to Conrad's bottom *snerk* I'd say --if we really have to-- that Gwenrad would work better, maybe *ponders*

have decided to download the first four episodes of this series instead ^_^!

Ohhh eeek! Hmm okay so if I could - er, okay, see... should you download more, do you think you could burn them on a CD for me, please? I always feel bad asking that kind of thing because I can't really give what I take --being CD burner free, I actually owe some CDs to Kati *cringe*-- but Clark isn't feeling well and I feel reluctant to download too much stuff --Lost already takes enough space *cough*-- and CDs are the best solution... would you mind? I mean... I know I'm asking and that's not really polite and everything, but well... Do you think you could do it?

And a last thing. Thursday isn't the same sans Lost *sigh*

I've never really fallen for a non-existent pairing before... I don't like it *pout*

Hmm, well, I like the less favoured pairings in Saiyuki... Goyjo/Sanzo, Hakkai/Sanzo and Goyjo/Sanzo/Hakkai - in any order, I'm not fussy ^_~! But yes, it is hard because the fanfics are always more difficult to come by :( !

hould you download more, do you think you could burn them on a CD for me, please?

I am downloading the first four episodes as a bundle and when they are downloaded, I'll stick them on a CD, no problem ^_~!

And a last thing. Thursday isn't the same sans Lost *sigh*

Indeed! I can't wait for this week's episode. Every week Matt and I say, 'Well, they can't top that!' and they do!! It is fantastic ^___________^!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'm a Goyjo/Hakkai fan first, but I'll admit I quite like the idea of Sanzo/Hakkai and of course Gojyo/Hakkai/Sanzo [Hakkai sandwich is my favourite lol] - would you have any recs for those ones, by any chance?

I am downloading the first four episodes as a bundle and when they are downloaded, I'll stick them on a CD, no problem ^_~!

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! *kisses*

I'm afraid we won't have a new episode this week either *sigh* It's all the State of the Union's fault. We'll have to wait until the 9th it seems *pout* But I saw the promo and even though it lasted like 10 seconds only, I can say it's going to be a blast, wow. I can't wait!

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

would you have any recs for those ones, by any chance?

Sadly, no! I have never read a Saiyuki fic that really grabbed me *sniffs*! But if I ever do, I shall let you know ^_~!

I'm afraid we won't have a new episode this week either *sigh*

You are *insert expletive of your choice here* joking me!! Another Lost-less week, how are we gonna cope???

Btw babycakesin friended me back *squee*!

[castalie.livejournal.com]
