Writers' Salon!

All right, guys, let's get this started.

This is a post for members to post their burning questions to each other. They can be simple, like "when is Character X's birthday," or not so simple "how would you define the relationship between Character X and Character Y?" If there's a story you want that author to talk about, throw in the title (and some points you'd like covered!) and if said author's willing, they can write their answer in a separate post, since I have no idea what the comment word limits are.

Here's how it'll work: an author who's up for answering questions/writing commentaries about stories will leave their name in a comment. Readers who want to ask questions or request stories reply to that comment, and hopefully we'll have some good conversations going!

If you guys request stories, it may be best if you limit them to [community profile] rainbowfic for the time being, unless the story you've got archived outside the comm is in a public entry.

EDIT: If it's not already obvious, you can ask authors more than one question in however many comments you like. The point is to have a discussion, and it wouldn't be very lively if it stopped at one question per author! Just give the author a chance to finish answering your previous questions, of course.

Quick note about /Black Lagoon/. There's some, ah, forcible strip-bowling in /Second Barrage/. And the OVA (Roberta's Blood Trail): keep in mind for a second I'm ambivalent come warnings when I say this but TRIGGER WARNING.

It hurts to watch, but it's good. (And the director started dicking with the plotline from the manga so the cannon is debatable at this point but ANYWAY...)

Also I have to be a snob and suggest subtitles. The script for the dub is inaccurate to the point of causing confusion.

Ahem. Fangirl mode: disengaged.

I know right where the sitting around the table scene is. Do you want an intro for it or should I just send it as is for maximum surprise? Erm, it's also about ten years old >_>;.

I'm really REALLY not used to characters doing that at all. It's unnerving at times, but it's oddly endearing too. I'm trying to get used to it, I swears.

I generally dislike dubs; the only one I prefer to the subbed version is Howl's Moving Castle and that's because the male lead doesn't quiiiiiite understand that Howl is a giant drama queen and plays him straight at inopportune moments (green slime, anyone?)

ANYTHING. Whatever you choose.
