Saiyuki/Minekura update

I think most of the people on my LJ/DW who read Saiyuki read enough other people to know this already, but in case not...

Minekura-sensei has a serious bone disease and is going into surgery before too long to correct some of it (it is incurable - treatment focuses on reliving symptoms). [personal profile] snarp has translated her most recent blog entry about it.

There is also an LJ community, [livejournal.com profile] cranes4minekura, devoted to getting 1000 paper cranes folded and sent to her to embody the well-wishes of her international fans. The first deadline is, er, today, but it looks like there's overwhelming support for collecting more and sending a second batch later on, so keep folding!
