Yep. I wonder about that too: when do authors dream about these wonderlands :,)) while sleeping? Waiting for the train? Sitting at a café? Haha
There is always something really fresh and unpredictable about them, though, which elevates them beyond the usual fantasy stuff out there — most of which is more like fanfiction, aping different tropes that have already been explored. So, yeah, where do they get their ideas?
(*=*) ***nod nod -you know, i personally have come up with some awesome ideas while sitting on the toilet (constipated, wishing for the best) LOL :))
LOL (may you never discover psyllium husks then.)
bwah hahahaha!!! :')) now that is funny! i was thinking, you know, world peace, combating world hunger, creating a better society, legalizing gay marriage, minimizing street violence (heck! i should be a politician! nah) -BUT, most importantly, finding the best and easiest way to learn Japanese so i can translate Saezuru LOL XD
Ambitious! I would be happy with a nice piece of soft, homemade gingerbread (the kind with molasses in it) and an extra ladle of gravy on my mashed potatoes.
:-L... with a glass of rum on rocks (OMG i absolutely love mashed potatoes with extra gravy on 'em). next to a fireplace. while petting Evangelina (dove). wearing a poncho. and listening to Bob Marley. you're right, world peace doesn't seem so important anymore :)) LOL aaahh so marvelous! the good stuff is on the little things
Maybe it's the secret of world peace, for those who don't have to work every day.
Poor Aoi Aki's thread has been totally hijacked by hopes for a happy Christmas, but at least she's not being relegated to the loo anymore.
Best wishes for the season, MOI?.
to you too, my friend (*^*)/
Aoi Aki's imagination blows me away. How does she dream up these mysterious people with their odd abilities and, yet, make them so human? And the art is always so delicate and beautiful. It's always a pleasure to read her stories.
