HOOK! HOOK! WHERE IS THE HOOK?!

Episode 8: Hook is now up! In this episode we review the early 90s classic Peter Pan "sequel" Hook. We rag on the movie a bit, but its in a very loving way, lol. We debate on the benefits and drawbacks of basting ham with icing, and wonder what Roofio's hair dye really is made of (the blood of fairies?).

Episode 05 - Fanfiction
This episode we discuss fanfiction! Fanfiction, for anyone not in the know, is fiction written by fans of series/books/movies etc. of properties they do not own. They make no money off of their fanfiction. The quality can range from better than the original to ‘oh my god a monkey has learned how to type!’

We do have some background in fanfiction. Both of us are fanfiction writers, and have probably read more fanfiction than is medically recommended over the years. However, we’re no experts by any means.

In this episode, we cover a wide range of sub topics. Some of the topics we discuss include: leaving feedback for fanfiction, out of character tags (OOC), shipping, original characters in fanfiction, Mary Sues, lemons, MMPreg, crossovers, and authors who hate fanfiction of their work.

The specific examples we use to illustrate our points mostly come from anime fanfiction. For example, Kasey expresses her undying hatred of Sasuke/Hinata stories (stay away from her you bastard!), Melanie attempts to explain MMpreg, no one can remember the name of the 10th Kingdom miniseries, and neither of us understand why high school Naruto fics are so popular. Although, having the Akatsuki work at Hot Topic makes perfect sense.

Also, if anyone were to ever write a GTO/Utena crossover, Kasey would be your “BFF forevah and evah”.

This episode will have a slight echo if you listen to it with very high quality headphones. I edited it once, but didn't realize it had an echo until I was listening on my expensive headphones. I painstakingly edited it again, but Audacity corrupted the file when I was almost done. I apologize, but after 10 hours of the second edit, I just need to walk away from this or forfeit my sanity.

We also start saying curse words this episode, because editing them out is too much work.

Hey dudes and dudettes, a few weeks ago I posted a link to my podcast The Power of Friendship. I just released an episode on shonen anime and manga and figured I've got this journal I should at least post something to it.

We cover shonen anime and manga clichés and genres. I think we did a better job than with the shojo podcast, maybe because we like shonen a lot more. A few examples of the topics we cover are, ‘turning your enemy into your friend’ (or punching someone in the face is a great way to start a friendship), chi blasts, and why on-on-one fights happen. We mention many anime series, but rest assured there aren’t any spoilers.

I think we cover some interesting topics and sub genres this time and would love to get some input. I'd especially like to get some input on the whys of certain shonen clichés, like one-on-one fights. My theories are things I just came up with and would love to see if anyone has some actual factual info.

Behold, the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP PODCAST has been released unto the internets!

My new podcast reviews anime and fantasy movies.  Each episode is dedicated to a single topic/movie/anime etc.  We review stories in depth so there will be spoilers for that episode's topic, but only that topic. You won't have to worry about listening to a Soul Eater podcast and suddenly hearing that Darth Vader is Luke's father (oh no! I've spoiled you!).

Warning: Some language in our podcast may not be appropriate for children.  After awhile, I just got tired of editing all of the curse words out (I never realized I had such a potty mouth).

I went to the trouble of making a live journal, so there really should be something here... there needs to be some kind of reward for bothering to check this out.  Thus, I've decided to post an "unoffiical epilogue" of sorts that I once wrote for my Naruto fanfic Learning.  At one point, I had planned to write a sequel to Learning...   My idea was to write each chapter from a different character's perspective on Naruto and Hinata's relationship set in different points of their lives.  However, Naruto manga went to crap and really killed my enthusiasm to write any other fanfics from the series.

However, I did write this...
