I believe I did! Your talking about Franzi intrigued me. Or am I just being delusional? ???

Do you own any pets?

What are your preferred genres when it comes to books? How about movies? Anime and manga?

About that much:



--- Quote from: Rumia on April 13, 2011, 04:50:19 PM ---Would you grant writers of a successful text adventure (one that reaches completion at least) the Wordsmith tag?

--- End quote ---
Definitely. The amount of prose the GM of a complete Text Adventure produces is easily equal to many other stories. TAs are fiction that lives and evolves from continuous reader input, so simply another genre of writing. There is no reason why that shouldn't deserve the Wordsmith tag the same way good fiction in PSL does.

Ah, that sounds likely. I did talk about four-armed patched-together loli-abomination a lot after all :3


--- Quote ---Do you own any pets?
--- End quote ---
No, because I don't think I would be able to give them the attention they need. We've had pets in the past (we meaning my family), a guinea pig, a rabbit, mice, a rat, and budgerigars. Not all together of course, one after another over the course of many years.


--- Quote ---What are your preferred genres when it comes to books?
--- End quote ---
As mentioned before, I really like humorous/satirical fantasy writing, and that is about the majority of the stuff I have.


--- Quote ---How about movies?
--- End quote ---
With movies, in the past my main interest was comedies and science fiction. Nowadays I don't watch many movies anymore, and the ones I do watch aren't chosen by genre. In regards to movies I have seen in cinema I think most of them were fantasy movies. But yeah, not a big movie-watcher in the first place.


--- Quote ---Anime and manga?
--- End quote ---
Probably close to everything. I have a dedicated bookshelf for my manga-collection, and it's stuff from almost every genre. I prefer shonen-style, but not necessarily fighting-manga, rather stuff like Bakuman or Death Note. Two of favourites are Seinen I think, which would be "She - The ultimate weapon" and "Gunslinger Girl". Another favourite is Genshiken, for which I have no idea what genre it falls into.
I've read the occassional shoujo as well when I worked my way through our library's manga section, though I can't think of any series that left a lasting impression on me.

For anime it's mostly gotta either have lots of nice action, or lots of funny stuff. Recently I finished Star Driver and started Gurren Lagann. I also started on Nichijou. Or it has to be really intriguing, like Madoka.
But there's again no clear system to what I will watch and what not. The actual plot, characters and style are much more important to me than the genre it's assigned to. Going by genre has never been something that worked properly for me, I can find things I like and hate within the same genre.

Shit, thought that was a real sword there.

In any case, wooden swords are more badass.

The fuck is the wordsmith tag?I just noticed it. I'm assuming it's similar to Artist+++

--- End quote ---
I'm surprised you remember this.
One thing you should know is that all Germans I've met said the same thing about being more cheerful than the other Germans, despite being bureaucratic like every German, so :V

--- End quote ---
I have a tendency to regularly play around with it, so having a real sword (unless it's blunt of course) would bear the risk of severed body parts, all of which I still need :V
That bokken there has already seen a good amount of use in fun-movies I made with friends :3

You could crop it so more of the pic is visible in the avatar. I'd crop the umbrella if anything. But I don't think it's looking too bad as it's now either.

It got created just about a little while ago and yes, it's basically the RA+ for writers. There's also Atelier Idol now, which is for those artists that mostly do music.


--- Quote ---I'm surprised you remember this.
--- End quote ---
I have the kind of memory where I remember a lot of small random things like that. Can come in handy at times, but it also means I often forget blatantly obvious big stuff when asked directly.
(For example Dorian pointed out I missed some very obvious stuff when talking about the German classics before:
<Dorian> You disappointed me Sakana, Schillers fame is based on writings like ?Die Glocke? and ?Die B?rgschaft?, and you didn't even mentioned Heinrich Heine.)

--- End quote ---
Well damn :V
Okay, seeing as none of the people I know seem to fit the "stereotypical German" image, I have to wonder how much it applies anymore anyway. Seems to me it's mostly the older generations now, all those grumpy old people who claim everything was better back in the day :V
