Relentless muses

*leans on keyboard, panting* Whew! That was a fucking marathon! And I speak advisedly. Three stories, one long and two short, in two days. One standard lemon mixed with psychology, one totally plotless lemon which I almost never do, and one introspective.

*eyes characters*

You guys are going to give it a rest for a bit, now, right?

Ed: Well, there was that one other short one...

Branch: *stuffs characters into Storyspace, slams door, nails it shut*

I'm doomed, all right.

I'm only surprised no one thought of alchemy in anime before. Always with the magic. Then again, from what few reviews I could find of it, I'm thinking alchemy works more like magic in this series than the chemistry-alchemy of old.

I always feel vaguely guilty watching fansubs. Do you think the series will ever make it to the states legitimately? If it's even slightly popular it probably will, since I can find all kinds of obscure stuff in the stores these days. But it might take a while....

Dunno. I think FMA is likely to be picked up by something like Adult Swim, but it might take a year or two. That seems to be the standard lag, these days.

It's a bit of rationalization, but if it weren't for the fansubbers, the commercial companies wouldn't have any idea what would be popular. I like to think of it as a symbiotic relationship.
