Believe it or not, I'm the mother of three (ages 21, 19, and 16) and discovered anime and manga through my daughters about six or seven years ago. I first discovered the series Inuyasha about six years ago. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. I headed my very first Inuyasha panel at Anime Central (aka Acen) 2002 and have repeated my panel at over 30 conventions around the US and Canada. I've been thrilled to have several of the staff and cast from the Viz dub sit in as special guests, including producer, Toshi; manga translator, Mari Morimoto; Inuyasha's VA, Richard Cox; Kouga's VA, Scott McNeil; and Shippou's VA, Jillian Michael. I'm active in writing fanfiction and drawing fanart and have my work not only on this site, but Mediaminer, Fanart Central, Hentai Foundry, and Deviantart, among others (on some I'm Urd-chan and others I'm Urdchan, depending on whether the site alloweda hyphen in my user name). I'm also very active on Yahoo groups and own and moderate a number of large Inuyasha-themed groups there. Starting in May of 2006 I began editing and posting Inuyasha English-language manga scanlations on my website, . I continue to be active in the Inuyasha fandom, although I'm also a fan of quite a few series and eventually plan on adding art and fanfiction for several of them.
