Babble of a Distant Star

This is becoming something of a pet project to me. It makes me sad it seems so hard to find Sonic doujinshi, when I know for a fact there is beautiful stuff out there. So, here's a list of the places I have found.

Artists: MRi and ASA
These two artists top the list for having some of the most gorgeous Sonic doujinshi and for SHIPPING INTERNATIONALLY. You can buy and read these even if you only speak English. Their art is top quality (go look at the sample pics. GO!) Some of their work is more bloody (look at the back cover of Cross x Limits), but not over-the-top. There are some hints of Sonic/Shadow, but I really don't think you have to like the pairing to enjoy these. (Also, when I ordered I got the most beautiful extra EVER. *is still in awe of it*)
Books on offer:
Unfortunately both books are now sold out. Leaving this artist up in case they have more in the future.
Where to buy:
Offline section is here: http://sonadow.xxxxxxxx.jp/off.htm
English order form found here: http://form1.fc2.com/form/?id=299229

Artist: TC (edit: fixed link, should be right now.)
Doujinshi printed in English! Again, we have accessible, readable doujinshi even if you are confined to English. This one is hentai, Sonic/Amy mostly. If you buy from the artist it's actually affordable.
Books on offer:
Amy Untold Finally: Yes it's in English and plot to follow, but still pretty much hentai.
Amy Untold Fantasies: Now available. According to the site this will be more hentai-oriented with less plot.
Where to buy: Often on ebay, for sale by publisher/artist

Artist: Blue-Black
Again, some very gorgeous art. If you were looking for absolutely no yaoi and no hentai, here's the first place I would point you. This one you may need a proxy buyer in Japan to help you buy. No English translation, but I think just from the art you can enjoy these stories.
Books on offer:
7th JAMS: Anthology! This book is 140 pages and reprints a lot of older doujinshi like Give me! Your smile!! And Forget Me Not.
Little: So... cute... This might be my personal favorite. Features Sonic, Shadow, Silver, and Mephiles.
Trip Trip Trip!!: An anthology with different artists, so a nice mix of things.
Give me! Your Smile!!: Very short, funny story. Sonic and Silver try to make Shadow smile.
Open Your Heart and Live Life are novels in Japanese. Open Your Heart has illustrations by Blue-Black, Live Life just has the cover by them (this one is Sonic/Shadow).

That... is actually it for sites where I am sure you'll be able to buy Sonic doujinshi. D: The site offering the Knuckles/Rouge anthology had to re-print, and I've no idea if the books are available now or no. I didn't buy On Your Mark from the circle website, either. (If you want to look into either I will be happy to give you all the links and information I have.)

Edited for grammar fail, and also to note that I updated my Sonic doujinshi page.

So... maybe a week ago I got volumes 15 and 16 of Detective Conan (Heiji appears again, yay! And Kid appears for the first time in volume 16! Yaaaaaaaaaya! I LIKE HIM ALREADY!)

But anyway... in volume 16 Shinichi/Conan makes a comment that if you corner a suspect and then don't stop them from committing suicide, you're nothing but a murderer. I've been thinking about that for a while now. Not the quote itself, but... I wonder if Gosho Aoyama and Fumiya Satou get along...?

Fumiya Satou worked on both Tantei Gakuen Q and the Kindaichi case files. And while criminal suicides in TGQ are often the result of brainwashing more than trapping the subject psychologically, Kindaichi case files are far more... let's say "dark." Far darker than either Detective Conan or TGQ. (I wonder if this is Yozaburo Kanari's influence? He worked on Remote, which wins over all three (and Sakon too) in the violent, disturbing, and brain-hurty categories.)

EDIT: I updated this because I got more Kindaichi Case Files, and I wanted to see if the pattern continues. Still, spoilers abound! If you haven't read the series... erm... how did you find this entry, anyway?

( I'm not naming any names, and trying not to spoil any of the 16 volumes of KCF I have, but you might not want to read the stats anyway )

Yes, I'm just stalling because I can't get my brain in gear. ^^; *sigh* I suck.

Is it bad that I want to get a Naruto anthology with a touch of Sasuke/Lee and Gaara/Sasuke because it's literally the only time I've seen them in the same book? Even if they're not in the same story... >.< Also, trying to get one with some light/cute Gai/Lee, which is... about 1/20th of the anthology it's in... EDIT: I totally bought them both. I am a Lee addict.

Wow. Sunday already. It's homework day. I've been up all night, so now I just keep thinking: Eh? Last time I checked wasn't it 3:00am? I was going to go to bed in a minute, really.

Lots of writing to do today. Both school and otherwise. I hope I get everything finished. Pulling another all nighter doesn't feel like a good idea. Blargh. *dies*

I found Honda/Bakura doujinshi. . . anyone out there who understands the gravity of this proclimation probably already knows, but I'm going to repeat. I found Honda/Bakura doujinshi. *falls over* I finally found some. . .

One of my favorite pairings of all time. It's impossible to find doujinshi for. I'm going to have details up in the Honda/Bakura shrine later today, so that other people can go see it. (I won't bother with the URL because I know there's a link to my site on this page.)


Done with my YGO fannish ramblings. Random day-to:

More vampireness. While watching a Vampire Hunter D music video this occured to me: You know how you can't see a vampire's reflection in a mirror? Maybe when vampires look in a mirror, they can see their reflection, by they can't see the reflections of living people. That would be interesting.


I'm sleepy. I'm going to go eat some cheese.
