3. Gripping narratives, including a poignant reverie on a blind date
4. Photography that spans the globe, ranging from old-fashioned Polaroids to underwater photography

Give a little to help a lot!

In honor of National AIDS Awareness month, we've added a new charitable vgift. For each red ribbon you purchase for $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to support the development and global distribution of an affordable HIV vaccine (we'll cover credit card fees). You can read more about IAVI at lj_cares. While we're on the subject, we raised $740 from our November fundraiser for Love Without Boundaries, which supports emergency healthcare and adoption of Chinese orphans. We thank you for helping us help others.

Photos of the week

We're back with more incredible pictures from our super-talented LiveJournal photographers. Congratulations to ilya_gorokhov, who is the winner of our very first lj_photophile poll.

Curtains

Thanks, again, for joining us. Stay safe and snug out there!

Hey Everyone, we are about to run the last alter job that we need to on our database servers. This will effect userpics / scrapbook / vgift images for the next few hours. Have no fear, your images aren't lost, there is just a really intensive process running on the servers which store the information for mogilefs. Thank you for your understanding and all the LJ love...

Hey LJers,

I just wanted to let you all know that we are going to be performing some mogilefs maintenance over the next few days. We will be upgrading our current version to latest stable as well as changing some db config information to better handle the amount of files we are currently hosting. This shouldn't cause a big impact on site stability, but you may see some minor delays with userpic / scrapbook images appearing or other requests associated with our mogilefs. We would love to not have that happen, but unfortunately with some of the steps we need to take we have to cause a delay with images. I figured this was a better solution than taking down all of LiveJournal because well lets face it, we all need our daily LJ fix ;)

Thanks,

Mongoose Festival

Thanks to everyone for sharing all your feelings
about the finale. It makes me really happy...

That was still bucking me up as I finished
drawing the first installment of the Opera Chapter.
It seems like there's more interesting to write about,
so I've started this series. I'm not sure exactly where
it will go, but it will be fun! Please read it!

While I was working on that, suddenly this mongoose
turned up at the house. I was really surprised.
[PICTURE]
In order to promote vol. 23, they've distributed these
mongooses standing all over the country. You go, mongoose!
It's like the costume I designed for the live action show.

[PICTURE]
And here is the inviation for the premiere party for the movie.
Also a mongoose. So cute.....!
There's an opening in the envelope and the mongoose
(which is the invitation) slides out of that....

Baby Corner
[PICTURE OF FOOD]
He's eating tons now. He ate everything in this pic,
kaki [Japanese persimmon], milk....
But I wouldn't say he's getting too fat. Just right I think.

I'm just going to put up a few of my faves, the rest of them can be viewed >>here<< It's in chinese but the pics are all available for public viewing.
Enjoy!

Hello, I've been following this comm for a while, but this is my first post here. I haven't seen any others around, so I've decided to share my translation of Xingke and Gino's 'Reason' character song. Also, I have a request concerning some other character song lyrics.

( yes, that is the reason why i fight... )

~____~ This person named saulute, she (he) keeps stealing my mediafire links (and my friends') to share in many forums like aarinfantasy, nihonomaru, yaoiland... and acts like she has worked so hard to have them. She even ignored my messages in yl many times and only stopped doing that after being banned for a month. Why can't she upload by herself instead of stealing like this?
I already said it's okay to take all my links EXCEPT MEDIAFIRE and please remember to give full credit. Or else, you can save them to your file manager or whatever, just don't take the links I've shared. Because there are so many incidents with that host, I don't want anyone to redistribute them (unless you're allowed to). This is also the reason why I don't share MF links along with other hosts when posting new titles in aarin. Someone like her will take them right away for sure. Just have a look at this one, if I was so careless, it should have been MF link to appear in her post (She even used my preview image, no wonder why the PB bandwidth reaches its limit so fast T__T). And thanks to her, my links might be all removed as before T__T

Really, I don't know how to stop her T__T . Do I need to start setting password T__T?
Hope that she's the only one to do this TT__TT

Does anyone know the story behind this image? It appears to be a magazine scan, but I don't know from when or whether it's a new one or not. It's in the same vein of the articles they were putting out throughout R2, but I haven't seen it before. If it is new... what's it mean? And if it isn't, when was it put out?

I'm selling about half of my yaoi collection, 93 books. It's just gathering (metaphorical) dust, and I could use the money. All my books (unless otherwise noted) are in great condition, just slight spine creases due to reading and a bit of wear on the edges. They've been kept in a water proof, dust proof, plastic, storage box.

Retail price is normally $12.95 + $3.99 s&h (Amazon.com prices).

I'm letting all of these go for $6.00 + $3.00 s&h each. I only accept paypal.

ETA: Two of the books have June Yaoi cover art postcard in them. I don't remember which are the books, so it's an easter egg!

As I was looking around Code Geass blogs, I happened to stumble upon a very shocking piece of information.

Takahiro Sakurai, the voice of Suzaku Kururugi, voices Edward Cullen in the Japanese dub version of Twilight.

As shown by this video:

Good or bad? You decide.

(Suzaku apparently sparkles now.)

CHRISTMAS IS COMING FAST! HEAD OVER TO tsuzukbookshelf FOR SALES!

Want to give the gift of anime and manga to someone this year? Check out all the items I have available. Special Christmas deals are currently running! I also have alot of non-anime items available as well. I'm open to BEST OFFERS and TRADES as well.

( CHECK OUT JUST A SAMPLE OF THE ITEMS HERE )

Story Title: Pleasures of Art
Rating: NC-17
Chapter Title: Cave Canem
Previous: |1|, |2|, |3|, |4|, |5|, |6|, |7|
Pairing: ClovisxLelouch (order relative). Also LelouchxSuzaku, a bit of SchneizelxClovis and some others.
Summary: What if Lelouch had returned to Britannia after the invasion of Japan? The answer is simple, and it involves chess, less than sane family members and the unconventional use of art supplies. Next time, maybe Lelouch will think twice about heightening the stakes.
Then again, maybe not.
Warnings: M/M smut and incest (obviously). In progress. Has a plot, but the randomness tries to murder it occasionally.

Lelouch watched his brother merrily wave the dog's paw at him, wondering if suddenly waking up in an insane asylum one morning would feel something like this.
