Fanfiction Reviews, Interesting Links, and General Geekery
I’ve been enjoying these fancomics for a while, but I always kept forgetting to share them. Now, I’ve got the perfect opportunity. After all, who could possibly resist the fun of seeing the teen titans as if they’d always been swapped?
For the record, the title of this post refers to the combination of an American song and a Japanese comic… not that I’m not also messing with you, as you’ll see when you start reading. Now, with that out of the way, on with the post…
First, a little something I’ve been meaning to post for a couple of months and I keep forgetting about: Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa
To anyone who reads this, happy holidays. Hopefully, I’ll have time during the break to whip up a few programs to share.
As it is, I do have a few improvements to announce. First, I’ve set up a nice new cocktail of anti-spam tools that’s working out wonderfully. (A mix of Akismet, Spam Karma 2, and Bad Behaviour)
Second, I’ve installed Rudd-O’s XHTML validator and my site is now completely XHTML valid, and will stay that way.
Third, I installed a plugin named Sociable, so if you view any of my posts individually, you get that nice little row of icon-links to social bookmarking sites.
A week or two ago, I started a Last.fm thread asking people to point me to music with unusual/uncommon lyrics. I didn’t really get much, but the list of examples I provided (which is still growing) is definitely something worth reading.

For the longest time, I’ve been looking for crossovers between Ranma ½ and I, My, Me! Strawberry Eggs. I’d always thought it would be cool, but I could only find one or two crossovers where the author tried to put Ranma in Hibiki Amawa’s place and ended up only writing a chapter or two.
Finally, I’ve found something that is not only complete, but merges them without dropping Ranma into the IIMSE story… a refreshing change. (not that I’d turn away a complete “Ranma as Hibiki” fic) From what I can see, it seems to be a one-shot that was originally intended as the first chapter of a longer fic. The basic premise is “What if, during his post-IMMSE travels, Hibiki met Ranma?”
