At our age the imagination
across the sorry facts
lifts us
to make dere
stand before yan.
Sure
and hackneyed
and totally trite—
at least, slave to demographics,
animated love is.
But we are older,
I to blog
and you to be dissected,
we have,
through cruel luck,
by our wills survived
as NEETs
the boxed prize
always
at our finger tips.
We will it so
and so it is
past all accident.
- With apologies to William Carlos Williams.
Hi Mori. I think I saw a tweet of yours a while back that hinted an upcoming piece on ANB-related drama. In case you’re doing that, you may be interested in this rather sordid history of Tenchi fan boards someone just posted with remarkable syncronicity. It’s probably somewhat opaque for readers not of the Tenchi fandom, but I think it might still be an interesting read of darkness of fandom revealed. I must say, without witnessing a fair share of it and some of the present day aftermath, I’d have trouble believing this tale was for real.
