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.

I was trying to forget the mental images from the last time I ended up there. Did you have to bring them up again?

Sweet Mew, the mental images.
Thanks for that. >.>

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.

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.

...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)

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.)

It *would* be biologically possible for things to go in there, so my first guess was his urethra.

We shall share the glory! TO THE ALE-HOUSE!

...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.

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.

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?

...I'd say something along the lines of how incredibly insane you are, but everyone else already has, so I don't think I need to... XD

Hope your mind recovers soon. *hands you bleeprin*

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

Nin volunteered for that one, but she's otherwise occupied right now. Going to hurt, though - it actually focuses on Tagg, with a brief cameo by Schizophrenic!Paedophile!Sawney. Sawney was about the only vermin leader who was actually a fairly decent guy before he went nuts, so Nin was pretty mad about that. Sadly we couldn't exorcise necrophilia which didn't actually explicitly occur, but it came pretty close. But it's bad enough, with the random incest and the paedo and the spur-of-the-moment orgies and the forced piss-drinking and the spear and the fact that she apparently doesn't realise that you can SEE people on the walltop of a fortified building particularly when it's besieged and there should be more than two defenders up there ...

Yeah, she said she's "in training to be a veterinarian" in the author's notes of Among The Roses. I don't know whether the author not knowing about the anatomy fail or just ignoring it in the name of getting off is creepier. The latter is probably better for society as a whole, though.

Have you seen her other works? The Lion King poem caused me physical pain. (As Nin said when we were discussing the mission via email; "It's called 'Poetic Orgy' and only one of those words is accurate.")

The irony is, I LIKE Redwall slashfic. Well, the non-graphic kind which does not involve physically impossible actions being perpetrated upon innocent characters. There's some gleeful fun in doing something the creator would disapprove of to something so cute and wholesome, but it still has to be written decently. And okay, Stormsong's death scene in the fic I borrowed him from was just as gruesome, but Snowspine was a better writer, it was far less detailed, and he actually got to DO things in the fic as a whole other than "be in extreme pain".

That must be uncomfortable for the animals. Vet from Hell, anyone? Oh, and that's exactly what I said about TS - they should all be dead after... err... in the middle of that kind of abuse. And four thousand? I don't remember *that*, but then again I haven't read any Redwall canon in a while. Pikkle should have died from the some-number-under-a-hundredth, actually. Poor hare. Most or all of the TS missions should have/should have had (depending on whether they're completed or not) a mention of "Avaunt, necrophilia!" in them.

Let's not even get into the spear thing, but a six-year-old could point out the anatomy fail there. And poor Pikkle. I realise one doesn't lose all that much blood from being raped, even several times in a row, but she actually says "over a hundred" times (I think - could be worse, there were four thousand Corpsemakers in total and she could have detailed ALL of them!) so, if we assume each one took two minutes (though I'm probably being generous here, hehe) that's over three hours of constant pain and difficulty breathing since they were, um, utilising both appropriate apertures, so one would think he'd at least have passed out.

And at least Agony In Whatever Colour's author didn't claim to be a veterinarian!

We're of the opinion that Cheesethief would be mad that Redtooth "got all the attention again" and rant at Cluny about not thinking he's good enough to co-star in anything, then have a screaming fit when he actually finds out what the story is about and what happened in it. Now that's gonna be one for OFUTube.

I want to have my agents use the actual term "metted mixaphors" at some point.

No, it was King in a tribute to Carrol in his novel Cell.

I love using Jay's metted mixaphors.

Maybe you can find out his favorite foods and make sure he has an ample supply of it. And an ample supply of fanstudent stress balls.
