Super-boring bio incoming? Reality is, I didn't get into Haruhi or Touhou until relatively recently. In the summer of 2008, I was frequenting various message boards, and kept coming across Haruhi reaction images. Wondering what all the fuss was about, I decided to watch it - all the english subbed episodes were on Youtube at the time. I knew the series existed, and beyond that, nothing else, so I went into it blind. I fell in love with it. I couldn't get enough, and read up on the Baka-Tsuki translations (when they were still up) for more. And before you call me a pirate - I bought all the DVD's, all the available books. I am supporting this series because I like it. But anyways, that still didn't satisfy me - I then came on here, and began reading the FanFics. The beauty of a series like Haruhi is that anything can happen, and be legitimate within the context of that universe. So, I began to write a FanFic...just not the one I've written. I actually began writing a crossover between TMOHS and my favorite PC game: UNREAL. I wrote a few chapters on paper, but hit a brick wall - a massive writer's block for that story. I had to shelve it. Later that year, Left 4 Dead came out, and I wanted to do a crossover regarding that. Same result. Writers Block after a few chapters. I could not finish a story. I'd set out to write, and it would only fall flat. For fan fiction, or for my own stories. I had never completed a story I set out to write. I gave up. Fast-forward to 2011. My knowledge of Touhou was nonexistant before 2011, other than "that song on the McRoll". And through various Youtube-diving, I'd come across various things regarding Touhou without knowing what it was. I forget the exact trigger, but I came across a series of videos on Youtube. A "Let's Play" of a fan-made game, posted up by a NakaTeleeli. Touhou: Mother. A crossover of Touhou and the "Mother" series, which, is known as "Earthbound" in the states. I watched that entire playthrough. It was my crash course into the fandom of Touhou, and I became enthralled by it. I watched all the videos, and there were a lot for that particular playthrough. I got interested, and went to Mangareader, finding the official mangas by ZUN. Found that someone uploaded Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth on Youtube. Watched those. Then I found out about the Doujins. The fan-made comics. I was intimidated. And only intimidated by the fraction that I came across. At random, I chose my first one to read. "Scarlet Devil", by Asatsuki Dou. The very story I based my version of Meiling in Imperfect Cherry Blossom. I liked the Touhou series, but after reading "Scarlet Devil"...for the fans to do that, for them to breathe such life into these characters...I fell in love with it all. I was inspired. Gensokyo. Closed space. One in the same. It fit. And I did it. I finished a story. Haruhi X Touhou. For the first time in my life I finished a story. Imperfect Cherry Blossom was originally written as a stand-alone story. But due to the popularity midway through the releasing of the episodes, I've decided to continue it. I hope it wasn't a one-shot deal, where Imperfect Cherry Blossom will be my only story. Because that writers block has been coming back. People are free to voice themselves. Those who wish to stay in echo-chambers of positivity cannot hope to grow, and are only doomed to remain in stagnation and ultimately rot from within. True progression and advancement cannot take place without both positivity and negativity. If one is unwilling to have any sort of feedback, they should not put out their work in public for all to see and give their voice on. |
