petroniaNew entry in order to get the subject matter off the five-month-old thread: of course the good mood lasted exactly as long as it took me to actually pull a few SenRu fics and be forcibly reminded of how angsty that pairing gets in Cfen. XD;; But it made for an odd experience on the metro home today, when I was thinking about the parochialism of Western anime fandom. Definition of a BNF, say. Of course Wfen is smallish as fandoms are measured, we all know this, but surely by the most basic metric of "fan name size" - relative visibility - a ficcer who has a following on lj shouldn't really count as a BNF even in Western animanga fandom? Because Hojo Akira, now there's a BNF. Or Prin (P-Rhythm), who was mentioned in the comment thread of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sesame_seed's last entry, which was what set the train of thought off in the first place. I mean, with the popular djkas we're talking less BNF than one-woman secondary industry. ^^; I've seen so many pirated scans, translations, summaries and whatnot of Prin's dj over the years that I have false memories of actually holding them in my hands and reading them, which--
And then the trail of thought derailed completely, as I realised this was not a false memory and I do in fact own one of them. >_< Man, if you ever wanted proof that my brain is shot... Even more alarmingly, I don't remember where it's gotten to. My guess is somewhere in the back of T's closet, along with the Schwarz dj it occurs to me I also own but can't find. I swear this is exactly why I don't buy the damned things.
(On the bright side, I did rediscover the existence of that SD dj anthology I bought in Book-Off last year for $1. XD;; Vintage fandoms are like vintage bands sometimes.)
