if you think anime takes a long time to cross from Japan to America, think how much longer it would take to cross from America to the UK. We're lucky if we get something two years after it originally airs in Japan. It's for this reason that I rely mainly on internet downloads to get anime.
Fullmetal Alchemist, bad slash. I'd play it safe and not read it at work or school.
Many thanks to Trojie for betaing. ^_^
In which Joyce is scarred for life, Singsong has something against the DBS, and a new challenge for Fullmetal Alchemist goodfic rears its ugly head
If not, I want to.
Consider him yours!
If you like, I can add some text to the picture... "I adopted the mini-chimera Louis Armstrong", etc.
Text? That would be good.
I'll do that as soon as I can, then, though it might take me a day or so... *has an English paper due*
You can go finish up whatever you need to do first, I'm in no hurry.
And you even have CHOICES! 8D
Without the extra little descriptive text
WITH the extra little descriptive text
Since this is my first time making a mini template thing, I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Thus the fooling-around-with-it-ness. Lemme know which one you use/like better, or even if you have any ideas for improvement. Suggestions are more than welcome. (I was thinking about adding the trademark pink Armstrong sparkles, but since I didn't mention them in the mini's description I didn't. But if you'd like those, by all means, just ask. ^_^)
I'd suggest saving it as a higher quality format (.png? I've always liked using those for some reason.), and the sparkles would be a nice addition. I'll clean up the .jpg artifacts myself.
I'm really quite worried; I'm not even sure I want to know where it went. *shudder* Very nice indeed; hopefully it wasn't as traumatic as it looked.
Also, that is one awesome mini. Whoever adopts him is going to have fun with him, I'm sure.
Wonder what Singsong has against DBS?
that a vibrator got placed up Ed's anus. NO! BAD ROY! STOP MOLESTING ED!Seriously, why have I only ever found one good FMA Roy/Ed fic where Roy is a manipulative child molesting rapist? It seems like most of them are badly written pieces of shite.
It *would* be biologically possible for things to go in there, so my first guess was his urethra.
Sweet Mew, the mental images.
Thanks for that. >.>
I was trying to forget the mental images from the last time I ended up there. Did you have to bring them up again?
Don't know if I'll do the three Redwall horrors of Chaser Wolf's because I already MSTed them, but the Shrek one needs doing. (Stormsong was a healer in a continuum inhabited by anthropomorphs, and therefore he knows exactly what a cat penis looks like. He will not be happy about that part.) Still not sure what to do with the horse, though. Reality Room, and let it die from the total lack of blood flow to the vital organs caused by its ridiculous proportions? Then what do they do with the corpse? Feed it to Dragon, maybe take some for themselves since they could do with some guilt-free meat?
...I think I read that one once. It was really well done. Unlike all the other rapefic I've found. But then, poorly-written rapefic is to be expected. >.
Rapefic is one of my fanfiction pet peeves. That and World War II/Holocaust fic (unless it's part of the canon and is well-written, in that order). Seriously. Some things aren't meant to be trivialized.
Do you mean zakai's The Sound of Silence over on LJ?
You're primarily in the FMA fandom? Aren't there a metric shitload of WWII/Holocaust fics in that section? Mind you, I'm basing that on what I've heard hanging around the more reputable parts of internet fandom.
Hell yeah, new FMA starts in April. Apparently it'll be taking Gundam 00's Sunday 5pm slot. (Which means it'll be 8/9am for me, and I'll be able to watch it.)
...that I've also found Holocaust AUs in fandoms that have absolutely nothing to do with our world. Like Avatar: The Last Airbender. Which has several. I don't know WHY, but it does. >.
And yeah, thanks to the whole "getting stuck on the other side of the Gate right before WWII breaks out" thing at the end of the series/movie, there's PLENTY of Holocaust fics... I have nothing against how the writers ended the series at all, I actually think it was pretty brilliant. But all those stupid fics... I mean, I took a class on the Holocaust as an elective last year, and we really delved into the psychology of the whole thing. And ANGST ISN'T POSSIBLE when you don't feel like a human being anymore. >.
Besides, I don't think there's any reason for the Elrics to end up in a concentration camp. Sure, Ed's technically physically disabled, but I get the feeling he could hide it well thanks to the automail. Not to mention that they'd probably leave Germany while hunting for the atom bomb, so...
[/rant]
Can't wait for the new series, either. Didn't know it'd start that early, though... I thought it'd be another year before dubs came out, and then they'd play it on TV. Though I'm in the US, so things could be a bit different... (You're in the UK, right? XD)
One of those doesn't fit with the others. And I'm not surprised at where WWII/Holocaust fics can pop up. I keep finding them all over Bleach, despite the characters being Japanese which opens up the Pacific theatre for them to get involved in never mind that most of the cast would have either been in Soul Society or not born at the time. /end rant.
I'd like to see someone trying to put Ed and Al in a concentration camp. They wouldn't go easily, alchemy or no alchemy.
I wasn't clear? *checks back* No, I wasn't. I meant that it airs in Japan in April. I've gotten into the habit of getting up early on Sunday morning to watch Gundam 00, which is the 5pm timeslot in Japan (8am in the UK currently), so if FMA is in that timeslot when 00 ends I know I'll be able to get up in time to watch it live via internet streams.
if you think anime takes a long time to cross from Japan to America, think how much longer it would take to cross from America to the UK. We're lucky if we get something two years after it originally airs in Japan. It's for this reason that I rely mainly on internet downloads to get anime.
I've never thought about how long it'd take anime to get to the UK, but in the My Little Pony collecting community, certain models/playsets never make it out of the US. It drives the foreign collectors crazy, cuz they usually wind up paying someone over here to buy and ship the items for them. At the same time, there's been a number of European-only MLP releases that plenty of USA collectors would give up their firstborn to own...
So I'm not terribly surprised about anime taking so long. Still, that sucks.
