Just Say OK to Slash.

Thanks to pixyofthestyx and me staying up pretty much all night last night, the writing of Gunslinger: Dodge City, the melodrama-filled, anime-influenced RPF fic, has begun. We may actually have four chapters or so done by the end of J-term if it proceeds apace.

So far, the two main characters have met over a poker table amidst volleys of snark. Now, gunfights, bank robberies, saloon brawls, and consumption await.

Also, the Otaku and I watched the first four episodes of Rose of Versailles last night (before the joint historical RPS commenced). Oh my Holy God, that anime is beautiful. Every tiny thing is So. Bloody. Dramatic. And every time something So. Damn. Dramatic happens, the entire screen turns blue or violet, and the characters' hair gets longer. Plus, every other frame is filled with truly awesome amounts of sparkles. It's like crack. Hurrah for 1970s shojo, especially genderfuck shojo.
