Feb. 20th, 2003 11:12 pmTurns out I can't read those scanlations anyway, as Chinese server inaccessible in the evening, or what would be workday hours in Asia. (I know it's up because, well, it was up at noon today, but that's when I'm supposed to be busy adult-ing.) Fairly typical of Chinese servers, actually. Bleh. Hate on the vagaries of distributed networks.
(A few good fics extant - thank you usual suspects ^_^ - but I read too fast, so bleh again. I really don't do so well outside of mass-industrial-labour fandoms like HP or WK, do I? Should I trawl for Chinese fic? Japanese? I learnt all these bloomin' languages for a reason. Okay, two reasons, if you include reading ingredient labels and the s00p3r s3cr3t menu items in chauvinistic Asian restaurants. In any case you'd think I'd remember that shounen competition manga eatz my brain. After I haven't read one for a while I forget why I keep telling myself to ignore their existence, and start getting curious. Curiosity kills the cat.)
I narrated basically the entire plot to Tania over fried chicken, complete with Kuwabara Honinbo impersonation, because I really am that much of a dork.
