International Saiyuki Week

[telophase]

I don't think coffeeandink quite expected this to happen when she mused it must be International Saiyuki Week, but the meme seems to be hitting the friendslist like wildfire. So - in honor of International Saiyuki Week, change your icon if possible, and post something Saiyuki-related.

ETA: I'm collecting International Saiyuki Week posts in my memories.


So bye-bye Mello for a few days in favor of Mr. Cranky. I do have a Saiyuki-themed picture in the works, but with no idea of if or when it'll get finished. So until then, you're stuck with ...

...a Telophase poll!

[Poll #694825]



If you haven't read Saiyuki, or just want to read about it, there's some essays linked in coffeeandink's post up above and there's an essay about it in rachelmanija's recent post here. If I haven't pimped these fics to you in your own journals yet, edonohana has a small series of lovely Saiyuki fics titled Five Incarnations That Never Happened posted right now.

I am a sad Gojyo fangirl.

Also inclined to speculate on the bathing habits of the Boys, apparently.

...*needs Saiyuki icons*

[telophase.livejournal.com]

But you're absolutely right about the bathing thing. :)

oyceter has some Saiyuki icons going right now. Or if you want irreverence, go into my memories and hit the Icons section, where I link to several posts I made with Saiyuki icons. Very few of which are serious.

[codfishbunny.livejournal.com]

Yay! Credited you in the icon-comment-field-things and my userinfo. Is that all right?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Prefectly fine with me! :D

[cicer.livejournal.com]

mistressrenet and I are apparently unintentional answer twins on a lot of the questions. XD

[oyceter]

I would make Goku play mahjongg with me! Actually, I'd make Goku and Hakkai play. Maybe Gojyo. I'd leave Sanzo out because he'd shoot me.

So I haven't read it yet, but I plan to. (Especially after your Deathnote recommendation.) And I know even if I don't like it my friend will. Maybe if I go to the mall later this week I'll pick it up.

[chaoticvein.livejournal.com]

Damn. My Sanzo crossplay will be occurring right after ISW. xP Maybe I'll post some preemptive pictures to honor it, anyway.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Every week can be International Saiyuki Week!

[chaoticvein.livejournal.com]

'Tis true. (twinkle) And you have no idea how much I love that icon.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

It seems to be one of the favorites, along with this one and the Sanzo Wide Load icon. XD

[edonohana.livejournal.com]

Oh say-- I couldn't be bothered to log in under this LJ didn't get a chance to mention it before, but when you finish with Project Blue Rose, if you enjoyed that fic series, you know what would be really awesome? Illustrations!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'll solicit bribes think about it. ;)

[edonohana.livejournal.com]

What do you want I wrote all that lovely fic, which you presumably enjoyed, with one more to come!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

What I really really want is Death Note fic, although it might be a tall order since you're bogged down in the Neverending Corporate Story Arc.* Otherwise, we'll see. But of course!




* My interpretation for the boringness of that section is that it was the point where they signed a long-term contract and so she had to stop the story dead for a while to expand it to the sides, so it could be longer. But I could be wrong.

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I'll jump back in at # 50, as you suggested. Where are the rest of the downloads, again?

No guarantees on fic, because I've never written for it before so I don't know how it will come out. I'll definitely give it a shot, though! Although nothing could possibly be as good as the doujinshi where Light watches L lovingly licking the whipped cream off a pastry, then hits himself in the face with a pie. "The cream, Ryuzaki, the cream! Just focus on the cream, and do that thing you do!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Right this way (http://www.sfolse.net/random/dn/).

I so want to know the rest of the things in that doujinshi. I'll have to repost and see if any of the new readers wants to give it a crack. m00nface is giving the marker book a go and has posted one bit already (http://telophase.livejournal.com/465866.html).
