Starting out: Manga, Anime and the Fans

Hello! and welcome to the blog that is dedicated to everything Manga and Anime!

I started this blog for many reasons. One, I personally enjoy the stuff :) Two, I want to see what other people have to say about it all; the FanFiction, FanArt, the actual stories and art. There will be posts on many different manga's and anime, including the "Triforce" of manga: One Piece (:D), Naruto and Bleach. But I am totally open to other stories. My favorites bar is full of stuff I've read, and discussion on anything is totally welcome. There will (hopefully) be stuff about the writers or artists themselves, their styles and techniques. There will be spoilers, but they will be labeled as such. If there are spoilers in comments, please make a note of it. Feel free to branch out topics, because I sure will ;) (I don't have Attention Defici- AH! New Chapter posted!...)

I have been engrossed in the world of Fanfiction for a long time, finally actually writing some of my own a few months back. There are some fantastic stories with fantastic people behind them. Here on this blog I will post and welcome posts about different fanfictions, the likes and dislikes, as well as any fanfiction that anyone is working on :) I personally like to have a sounding board for my stories, and I am still a beginner in the fanfiction world. Suggestions, comments and critiques are the lifeblood of a writer. Feel free to post small excerpts you like or are having trouble with, questions about techniques, Do's and Dont's to writing, vents or eurekas! Links to full stories will be allowed, but don't post multi chapter stories on the comments :)... I don't think they would even fit... Anyway, I will definitely love to hear what you all think about any of my posts regarding the many facets of Fanfiction :)

FanArt is something that amazes me. The talent that those people have, their creativity, just knocks me over sometimes. I would love to throw out ideas, hear other ideas, comment on other peoples work, and hear from others what they like. Its a big world out there, full of things to be shared and shown :) On that note, I think that the DeviantArt website (link) has the best selection of FanArt, as well as pretty much any other kind of art imaginable. Check it out and tell me what you think :)

So a little bit of everything is what I'm trying to do I guess :) Jump in, throw ideas, questions, comments, critiques and suggestions around; get messy, make mistakes! And please remember to respect others ideas and keep the ratings at the most a low PG-13. Freedom of opinion and expression is welcome and encouraged, but everyone is different and has different ideas. This is not a blog to talk about hentai manga/anime, or to post things inappropriate for the general reader. Arigato and Ja ne!
