Or, as it is also known, Like Fire and Water. (the ancient Chinese soap opera that consumed our lives for so many years).
I recently purchased and starting reading 'Until the Full Moon', a manga by the author of FAKE *shares grin with ScarletPhoenix* and it reminds me, in this weird way, of the Shang/Shanny saga. I miss it. I had been thinking of it anyway, in my whole obsession with graphic novel format (only I can't draw) and Pooky mentioned the saga and its lack of form but how it could kind of be shaped into one. And I was also thinking about how I missed the obsession of that saga. It was every minute of every day, written around papers and work, compared to movies, and I always had something definite I needed to write for it. And how I wanted to do something similiar with my next writing project, whatever that may be...so it's been on my mind.
Then, weirdly, I find a review of it on an original recs LJ. It called it "addictive". Pooky was happy. Then it went on to this discussion about the form of it, and the original form versus the new form that Pooky never finished revising as she couldn't think of how. Now we are both cringing. Heh. Honest discussion in that positive, but still annoyed, fandom way.
Fandom! haha! Pooky! You have a fandom!
Aw, I miss young Shang and young Shanny. That Slut
Also, I was joking about the FMA Mustang/Ed bending over a table thing...Only I just found an LJ full of recs to just such fics, and I couldn't stop my *squeeeeeees*!
I think my new signature will be "I am so fucking hard right now!"
