The Weakening Eye of the Day by asingulargirl is a very intense Kanda/Allen D.Gray-man fanfic. I love how Kanda is so prickly. XD Normally I don't read D.Gray-man fanfic because they just don't work for me (esp the Kanda/Allen--I don't feel that much UST from that pairing, frankly), but the preview blurb was so compelling I gave it a try.

The author wrote a really funny essay(?) titled "Allen Walker is not a blushing virgin and I will prove it." I have no idea if she's got the right idea or not, but it made me laugh. Check it out here.

I've sort of watched the first four episodes of Blacker Than Dark Darker Than Black (ugh, I keep getting the title wrong), and wow, talk about not being able to maintain any kind of sustained attention. I kept skipping ahead and around (hence the "sort of" watched) because it just...bored me. I like that it has pretty bleak endings, but none of the characters really interest me. The main character HAS NO PERSONALITY. The talking cat is kind of cool, and the rest...also have not much personality (not as bad as the main character, though). The most emotional and interesting people are the ones that appear only in the arc (the show is structured in two-episode arcs), but they go away. :P The music is by Kanno Yoko, but it didn't leave any impression at me at all. Same with the Rie Fu ending (wow, talk about dull) and the abingdon boys school beginning (too...TMR?).

I was rereading a BL novel in which the seme compares the uke to a piece of porcelain, and it was the sweetest thing in the entire story. XD

I keep remembering a certain scene from a BL novel or manga, but I can't remember which one. I can't even remember if it was a novel or a manga...Or maybe a figment of my imagination. *sighs*

Um, hi. I mailed you more than a week ago regarding the scanlations on your site. I claimed an iconfiend100 challenge. Haven't posted anything yet. May I use the scanlations at your site for icon making? I'll provide a hotlink to whichever page you'd prefer. I'll also credit the artist.

Should I also contact aphrael since you credited her for hosting and scanlating?

i also watch darker than black, i haven't finish the series yet but i think you should give it another try...it's true that the main character doesn't show much emotion but i think there is a reason for it that is why iam still watching it...i think the people who contract a power loss their feeling or something because not only him but many characters who has the power in the show acted very selfishly.
