Hello! People may have noticed I did mass access-list adding a while back; I have always meant to give everyone access after DW's access/subscription split but didn't get around to it until now. Right now I grant access to anyone who either subscribes to me or grants me access. If for some reason you'd like access and don't subscribe to me or grant me access, feel free to comment and I will add you! I have just been using subscribers/access granters because otherwise I don't know who to add.

I will probably also eventually end up friending everyone on LJ as a means to grant access, though it might be (even more of) a while till I get around to it.

I also finally dismantled all my LJ filters because it was giving me a headache keeping it coordinated with DW. So even though everything is still being xposted to LJ, filtered entries are being xposted to empty filters. I.e. for practical purposes, you'll only be able to read filtered entries at DW. I really apologize for the inconvenience! I cannot plead anything except sheer laziness on my own part.

Ashihara Hinako - Sand Chronicles, vol. 06-09 (Eng. trans.)

(I feel H&C is the most fitting of my icons for this series.)

Wow, it's been a long time since I've blogged about this. I think Sand Chronicles makes a jump from shoujo content to josei content in these volumes, although because it's still published in a shoujo magazine, I continue to classify it as "shoujo." (See also: Nana) Manga magazines, you wreak havoc with my attempting to define a genre in manga!

Also, much like Emma, the primary story of the series ends in volume 8, with 9 and 10 (not yet released in the US) containing several side stories set in the same universe.
