What are you reading?

I'll give it a shot then. Thanks for the recommendation.

I don't think there is a second season anime. And according to people who've watched it, the anime is itself just about entirely pointless and stupid, focusing just about entirely on fanservice and silly harem and borking a lot of character motivations to do it.

Chapter 5 of The Priest of Zero is up. The segments with Karin were bad but the rest was good, plus with a nice stinger at the end of the chapter.

I...simply don't get the attractiveness of having Kirei Kotomine on camera or in fic.  It seems to keep coming up lately but I don't get it.

It's sort of like tossing in a horrible but subtle negative force into things and seeing what happens. Really, that's the appeal of that fic for me.

[alethiophile]

I tried that Priest of Zero fic and didn't find it interesting enough to continue. Also, I think Kirei doesn't do well as a protagonist; he's quite an interesting and masterful antagonist or foil, but as a protagonist just makes me, at least, want to kill him repeatedly.

[alethiophile]

So I read this thing. It's a crossover between Prototype, the ultra-violent somewhat mindscrewy video game, and Kara no Kyoukai, the somewhat less violent superlatively mindscrewy light novel/movie series. There is not enough "this will not end well" in the universe. Quite wonderful.

Big Human on Campus updated.

Spoiler: ShowHide

Looks like the next chapter will be the showdown with the Ex-Protection Committee, assuming that the blizzard on the Knoll is coming from where I think it is.

Moka might even get to save the day.

Yay, Nerima.  And that stupid panda gets what Genma has coming to him.

[Dracos]

So did Delende Est, In Flight, and Harry Potter and the Temporal Beacon.  Though the third I've stopped paying attention to.

A slightly rough but really promising fanfic that just hit chapter three. Let me paste the summary since it's a solid one: Servant Caster killed himself to destroy the grail. He failed to save ***'s smile. With a shattered mind, a body made of swords, and the fourth heaven's feel, he aims to correct that failure.

It has some distinctly disturbing bits, but it's a strong piece so far.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6725240/1/Amorously-Minded updated today.  Again the story of Tony Stark's romantic interlude with Morrigan.

Or more specifically the surprise kid that comes from it.

New In Flight chapter.  Wasn't too thrilled with it as it just sort of felt like one continuous downer.  Hopefully leads into happy end.
