Fic Request Meme!

Since I need to be doing some writing anyway, and I have nothing better to do.

Request things at me! Just give me a pairing, a prompt, or both, and I'll write you a short bit of fic. My fandoms are in my interests of course, but as we all know, chief among them is Princess Tutu. I'll probably write for all of them though, and remember, genfic is encouraged as well as pairings.

What is it with me and magical girls?: a Shugo Chara! pimping post

In honor of a certain egg-filled holiday, and my being kind of bored as hell, I've decided to pimp a certain magical girl series I've grown fond of lately. And by 'fond of', I mean kind of addicted. But it's not my fault! It's really cute okay.

I will preface this by saying that this series is kind of something that depends on taste. It's not perfect or life changing or anything, but it is a fun sort of show, with a pretty decent plot, adorably catchy music, and a really, um, interesting cast. So, basically, if you're like me, and have no shame about watching kid's shows from Japan, check it out.

I Am Not Making This Up: Why You Should Play/Watch Umineko

I've been meaning to do this for a while, but today is the only time I've been feeling productive enough. You see, it has come to my attention that a lot of people don't know what Umineko No Naku Koro Ni is. This could be due to several factors, either the anime's lack of popularity or sense-making, the relatively unknown status of the much-better visual novels, or the fact that everyone remembers Higurashi for it's killer lolis and disturbing laughs.

So, I am here to change that! Umineko is a good clusterfuck of a series that everyone should check out, at least once. I've already done a post on it explaining the premise, and I do trust that everyone on my flist is proficient in Googleese. So, with that in mind, I will go straight to the real reason everyone should see Umineko: That it so exemplifies the trope titling this post that it's not even funny. Except it is.
