Heroes on Wired!

Hey! Hiro's on the cover of this month's Wired!

Article here (minor spoilers for next week's episode)

I'm particularly excited about Oka saying that he modelled Hiro on a Dragonball Z character (ha! I am not completely insane when I read anime and manga tropes in the thing) and that he's been trying to get the show to add more manga references, and that Kring agrees.

WHOO!

Hi! I spam you all with completely content-less posts lately because uhhh... yeah, that thing I mentioned before about not doing anything except rewatch Honey and Clover? Still true (though I made it to swing dancing).

• hecatehatesthat on racism and Friday Night Lights (I can't really comment on the issues raised, as I have yet to see the show, but I figured the people here who are watching might be interested!)



• cupidsbow has a fascinating essay on feminism and fanfic, as informed by Joanna Russ' How to Suppress Women's Writing.
  ETA: with an interesting follow-up post by ellen_fremedon on authorship and fanfic



• Finally (and you thought you had escaped!), rilina has a spoiler-free pimping post on why she loves Honey and Clover and vonnie_k supplies gorgeous screencaps from the series.
