Mixed Bag....

[ash48]

Happy birthday callme_k! Hope it's a great one sweetie. <33

Also.. Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.:D

Some randomness:



1. Things that make reading fic on LJ my happy place (in other words... easier...):

a) PDF's for large multi-chapter stories.

b) Master posters for multi-chapter stories.

c) Links to the next chapter in multi-chapter stories (when PDF's not available)

d) Sticky posts for links to all the authors other works. (after reading someone's fic and enjoyed it I like to see what else they've written. A Master post makes this so much easy. I am often surprise how many ppl don't have one)

e) Podfics to stories.

f) Regularly updated WIPS ( I actually like reading WIP's - it's like a serial and it often means I can read it fairly quickly and get my fic "fix" for the day. But yeah... regular updates are made of WIN!)



2. I found community that provides links to stories related to creatures - so, werewolves, vampires, shapeshifters etc. Kinda neat if you suddenly fancy a werewolf fic (which I have of late..*g*).

It's spnnightcrawler. Very neat. I'd be really keen to know of any other comms that categorise fics like this.


3. SUPERNATURAL ANIME!! I've been watching some more episodes and man, I love 'em. Animated Sam and Dean has less personal space issues so there's a lot more bro!touching.





Dean is crying and Sam comes up and puts his hands on his shoulders to comfort him (yes... anime has hurt/comfort...*g*)



Then... Dean really sobs and Sam puts his arms AROUND HIS CHEST! *kill me now*

Also... the wee!chesters are too adorable. The back stories for the boys and John are excellent. "Rising Son" particularly so. Even had some wee!Sammy in peril with awesome big!bro Dean thrown in just to please me.

If you are interested go Here They are not streaming but the intros and promos are there. Plus the download links.



It's Anzac Day here today. A day for remembering the fallen in past wars - namely in Gallipoli but for all wars really. It's sad that we still have to have wars, but it seems the human race doesn't know how to learn or negotiate peacefully.

Thanks for reminding me of these great shows. Have you heard any word of an English dub dvd set?

[ash48.livejournal.com]

No - no word yet. :( I'm waiting for it to be available here so I can get it.

:)

The English dub dvd Bluray will be out July 26th.

You can preorder on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Anime-Blu-ray-Jared-Padalecki/dp/B004VLLWB0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303699551&sr=8-1)

Thank you so much.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

OK, now I'm curious. What is Dean sobbing about, for the love of Pete? Because, sobbing? Really? *g* (I'm totally trying to ignore how awesome it is that cartoon Sam is hugging Dean around his chest while he cries. Because this matter requires further investigation! *g*)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Well... it's the scene in Crossroad Blues where Dean's in the hallway and is about to run off to summon the cross roads Demon. In the anime they come right out and say the stuff we have to get from the boys expressions only in the live version. So here, Dean has made the realisation that John died to save him It's like the scene from Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things - when Dean breaks down to Sam. So...um... sobbing in that sense. There are "sobbing" noises. We don't actually get to see his face.

In fact this whole episode is pretty full on in terms of Dean angst. Generally though Dean is played pretty tough. He hasn't been weakened in anyway in the anime. Though they've upped the bro!love stuff (if that's even possible!)

I think anyway..

[missyjack.livejournal.com]

I really love the anime! I hope it inspires you to some vidding ;D

Spn Nightcrawler is a v. cool site. I don't know of any other sites that are quite organised like that.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I would love to vid some anime. Once an idea strikes I'll be all over it.

I had a (rather foolish) idea of trying to put together a comm like that for all my hurty sammy fics I like to read. But yeah... time would be a fine thing. I suspect there would be a heap of work involved to maintain it.

Don't celebrate Easter but we had an enjoyable dinner with Bev's family _which I cooked).

Hope yours was nice also.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

yeah - we don't either. In fact, with my daughter grown up a bit now we don't even do the eggs any more.

Though it is nice to catch up with family

BTW, I'm gonna pimp my new vid. Yeah, it's a Doctor Who one but you might like the other show - The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh cool!! I'll check it out. Though I don't know that other show..

::pops up out of nowhere:: I'm still alive, I promise, just buried in work! So um, where are you getting the episodes to watch if they haven't been released yet?

[ash48.livejournal.com]

HEY STRANGER! \o/

Glad to hear you are still alive honey. :D

I have a link above to a site above where you can dl them. *koff* not so ethical I suppose but I'll be buying the DVD once it's out. I think they are currently airing in Japan (??) and then uploaded. I'm only guessing but that's how I figure it.

[feather-touch.livejournal.com]

They are listed on Amazon, but I'm not sure if they're subtitled or dubbed. I read the thing and of course have now forgotten.

I have got to get on my horse and watch these! I was so looking forward to them and have bunches of links saved to watch.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I think dubbed... though not entirely sure.

I have been enjoying them a lot. Very observant of the 'verse that has been created in the show. Only it gives us much, much more...

[callme-k.livejournal.com]

Hun, thank youuuuu! ♥

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Welcome sweetie... I hope you had a great day. <3

I agree with you about fics - PDFs for the larger ones would be great, and links the master posts are love (wish more folks could do that) LJ is a bear to navigate sometimes and if I were to be so brave as to write fics and post them, I'd make it as convenient as possible for the readers *hides*

I can't wait to get the full anime when it comes out in July, and the more brotherly touching, the better!

<33

[ash48.livejournal.com]

True. Posting fic is a damn brave thing to do. I admire all writers. But yeah.. it's great when they make it easy on the reader. I'm loving PDF's now - since getting an iPad. Means I can read anywhere, anytime.

I looking forward to the release of the anime also...(I'm just damn impatient!)
