Hey people, I've been playing with manga scans, joining a new community free_manga, so here's a preview of the manga link list I'm working on.

( Why yes, I am being lame )

Fan links
Death Note 59 scanlated by W,tF is out! totally missed this
baby!vampXander updated by darkhavens (BtVS, S/X)

Just for kicks, check out my yousendit links, I have a bunch of manga uploaded.

And my into post to free_manga to see what I have and put in a request or just laugh at me for uploading so much.

Ok, this is a pathetic attempt to post with something so I can (a) put off my Spirited Away overview for try_this_fic that much longer, (b) not do my totally geeky ST:TNG fanfiction post, and (c) fangirl!squee that aishuu put out the next Brightly Burning.

( I realized that this looked long and bulky )

Now to the fun part, fanfic/fanart links!
Sartorial Disaster by meitachi (Hikago, oneshot, AkiHika)
Brightly Burning chapter 6 by aishuu (Hikago) super woot!
Something Wicked This Way Comes 9/30 by aishuu (DN) And I promise to comment right after I get everything else updated
Sukisyo Fanart: Yoru x Ran by eisenmeteor (Sukisyo, fanart)
baby!vampXander by darkhavens (BtVS, S/X, drabble series)
The Veela Enigma chapter 28 by jennavere (HP, Harry/Draco)

Okay, I lied. More anime recs, because I have a bazillion of them, and I'm sure the anime readers on my flist don't want me to recommend Picard/Q, because that's what I was thinking of doing for today.

SatDai 30 Kisses - 30 Drabbles by lazulisong (series of drabbles, complete)
satoshiPod coverlet thingit by calintz (fanart, gen, Satoshi)
Inconcise scanlation of Volume 09 by maboroshi_hime (scans/summary)
( Longer reviews under here )

Fanfic/Fanart Links
Verisimilitude: IX by Uneasy Moon, shukiai, and sockren (FMA)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Iron & Flame game by Adult Swim (Cartoon Network) actually quite fun to play
Sora x Sunao - 03 jolt for 30_kisses by oyamadayoh (fanart, Sukisho)
Lady, That Tramp, The First by arielleira (SV, Clex)

Everyone should also check out try_this_fic and sign up to rec for April or May, since crack_van is on hiatus. Look out for my Spirited Away overview and recs in the next day or so.

Part two of my Tenipuri rec dump. These should all be fairly recent recs (this year at least). Enjoy!

WiP Update

Case Note XV by v_voltaire (Death Note)
Feather Flight: Maybe You’ll Be Waiting There (part 29) by Lunar eramundo (FFIX) The end is near, what a wild ride

For a change of pace, some webcomic recs, otherwise known as a whole new way of killing time. I'll be going back to fanfic recs later tomorrow, but I was getting a little sick of seeing the constant bombardment of the same fandoms on my recent entries page.

8-bit Theater A hilarious sprite comic based on the old NES Final Fantasy games. Black Mage, one of the main characters is especially funny. He's the evil, maniac character that you wish you could get away with being. Some familiarity with role playing games recommended.
Bob and George the Comic Strip Megman sprite based comic, cleverly funny, you wonder how the author gets from point a to b at times. Need some knowledge of gaming and Mega Man in particular to get the most of the comics.
Little Gamers Webcomic that runs the gauntlet from gaming, politics, and the difference between men and women. One of my favorite webcomics. No knowledge of gaming necessary, but would help in appreciation.
The Adventures of Super Ho A porn obsessed super hero and a female straight "man" battle a bunch of eccentric badguys. Quirky, funny, and cute.
Boy meets Boy I'm not sure who hasn't heard of Sandra Fuhr's webcomic in the slash/yaoi community, but in case you missed it, give it a try. Sandra's artwork evolves through her comics and her characters have so much depth and thought put into them that there are even fanfics devoted to her series. A great ride that recently concluded last year.
Friendly Hostility Sandra's comicc series that follows Collin and Fox from BmB and expands to include Collin and Fox's families and lives before they meet the cast in BmB. Another great comic that Sandra is working on now.
Megatokyo The story of two gamers stuck in Japan and the trial and tribulations only two unique personalities can get into. Wonderful art and funny, sometimes moving story telling.
Strong Bad Emails Part of Homestarrunner.com, animated .gif that are funny as hell. A new one out every week, dealing with all kinds of issues, but the thing I like best is that Strong Bad is a grammar Nazi.
Nice Hair A webcomic about Neil Gaiman and Tim Burton by N, I'm not quite sure how to describe it. It's inventive, and funny, and maybe a little over my head, but amusing none the less.

And some random fanfic links, because you can always use some more boy on boy action.
Fullmetal Academic scene 5 by harukami (FMA)
Harukami's [FMAnniversary] Thirty Second Summaries! by harukami (FMA) funny, little summaries that links to all of Haru's FMA stories
Hikaru no Go picture post by harukami (HnG)
Skintone by thehoyden (HnG) inspired by the Hikago pic post
River of Memories part 3 by disutansu (PoT)

Gomen everyone if this reads like a listing of fics from igo_yaoi but like I've said and you're all sick of hearing, I'm away from the compy and have to work with what I got. Standard disclaimers here: there be spoilers in these recs, don't read if you haven't finished the anime at least.

WiP Update
President of the Warrior Angel Fan Club part 6 by mobiusklein (SV)
Endless Moments chapter 3, sequel to Mr.Elric by maboroshi_hime (FMA/HP)

X or X/1999 is a series produced by the manga group CLAMP that incorporates characters from Tokyo Babylon and Clamp Campus Detectives. The main character, Kamui, is charged with deciding the fate of the world by becoming a Dragon of Earth and destroying the kekkai that hold the world together or a Dragon of Heaven and protecting them. Whichever side he chooses, his opposing star will join the opposite side for a final showdown on the fated day in 1999.

The gay, you ask? This is CLAMP people, their ambiguous male parings are practically cannon and have almost as much, if not more in some cases, clout as the straight pairings floating around. The recommendations here will focus mostly on Seishirou/Subaru as they are my hardcore OTP in the fandom with the occasional Fuuma/Kamui, Nokoru/Suoh, or Arashi/Sorata thrown in the mix in the future.
