The same Franzeska as pretty much everywhere else.

Languages

I speak pretty decent Spanish and pretty rotten Japanese. I'm happy to help people decipher Japanese text. Just leave me a message on my talk page.

Me in Fandom

I'm very lazy and have rarely organized anything or actively participated, but I did run the SxSAS list for a while, and I dragged a number of people into Onmyouji fandom. I've been on various OTW committees. I have done yuletide every year so far. My track record with other deadline-having things is... much less good.

My great love, to which I return over and over again, is cheesy crime shows. CSI: Miami, Magnum: PI, Charlie's Angels, Space Precinct, Starsky & Hutch, Miami Vice. (Oh my god, Miami Vice.) Shows with massive fandoms. Shows without fandoms. Shows that I am going to spam you with until you're forced to watch them. (MiamiviceMiamiviceMiamivice!)


I use my real name online. (Hi, Mom.)

Manga

I currently read a lot of manga in Japanese and a lot of writing about manga in English. I no longer read manga in English because 1. everything that gets translated these days is crap and 2. current translations are all of abominable quality and commit the utter horror of leaving in the original honorifics. (No, recent manga fans and scanlation readers, that wasn't always how it was done! No, it doesn't have the same effect it would in the original Japanese! Die fangirl/boy Japanese in professional translations, die!!!)

To Do List

Here are some things I think someone should do. If not me, then how about you?

  • Fix the Aestheticism page. One of the most important early English language resources on BL, and no one's done anything to document it?!
  • The Anklebiters Archive. Has this disappeared from the internet? Alas! We really must document the flowering of the Vampire Hobbits trend.
  • "litfic" needs a definition
  • MediaMiner.org
  • Baka Updates, Manga Updates, My Anime List, and other anime/manga/scanlation/fansub-oriented pages like that
  • SSA's info is out of date
  • Maybe something on the Three Investigators?
  • The Ultimate Manga Guide (formerly the Usenet Manga Guide)
  • Anime/manga usenet groups
  • .moon needs fleshing out
  • Tentacles aren't just fic!
  • That keyfic stuff, Boys in Chains (do we have an article?), other "original slash" and the like
  • Add something on ML to BL article
  • Maybe add some more mentions of Matt Thorn? Perhaps "controversy" over his comments on shitty translations? (Shoujo article? Scanlation article?)
  • What is the "freedom of speech archive"?
  • NoLimits Archive (mentioned in articles but doesn't have its own article yet)
  • June, both the term and the magazine
  • Kanji/Japanese for major Japanese terms
