MAMM uke rules

Via keelieinblack: supacat waxes nostalgic on the Last Herald Mage Series here, others chime in with their own nostalgic shame. Also, fabulous fanfic brainstorming ensues. I want to read those AUs.

Another Amazon Japan rec, this time one I want to read: Hajimari wa mado deshita. by Nakura Waki. The title, which basically is "it started with a window," says it all! A middle-aged middle management type is checking out his crotch at work (for some unexplained in the blurb reason) and is seen by a window washer. He tracks down the guy to get him to keep it quite, and they hit it off. They probably start off as improbable friends, but of course it becomes romantic. It sounds stupid, but it hits me in the right places (middle-aged manager type uke yes!). I haven't read any of this author's books, so I can only hope it won't suck when I actually read it. :P
