Again, sorry for those who have my on their f-list xD;

But~~ Volume 5 of the Ikaihen bunko came in and as usual it's preeeeeeeeeeeetty~ And next volume will have Sabel on it *O*

Also, the Gaiden collection should be coming out soon. It was supposed to come out this month, but I think it may have been pushed back? *shrugs*

Anyway...

( Another fake cut to see the piccies~ )

...We still need a new header image for the community DD:

A little something i did a while ago, if anyone would like to see: here. It's definitely messed up, though. :\

OKAY SO I WENT TO OHKAMI'S SITE AND WENT TO HER LITTLE DRAWING BLOG THING (it's via clicking the little notebook icon, the first of the four little ones on the left) AND I SEE DRAWING.

I AM LIKE.

WHAT IS THIS.

I TRY GOOGLE TRANSLATE BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF IT.

IS OHKAMI MAKING A SEQUEL (to SOMETHING) OR A NEW SERIES OR WHAT?! I JUST GOT THAT IT'LL BE IN WINGS OR SOMETHING WILL BE AND SOMETHING ABOUT GAIDENS AND SOMETHING.

*NOT HYPERVENTILATING. NO. COURSE NOT.*

Pardon me while I laugh my ass off at Tetheus over there at the left.

*rolling*

Sorry for those who have me friended xD; *always feels guilty when she posts this twice*

But this time...

( I'll have you follow a fake cut x3 )

Cover is preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty. STILL WAITING FOR SABEL XO *nags on Ohkami. NAG*

[For those who didn't notice, instead of just reposting everything in this entry, I linked you to my journal where everything is >_>;]

Also, is it just me or is the header image for the community not showing up? o.o;;

I read the TokyoPop vol. of Dragon Knights bc I can't read japanese and am retarded on the internet. The thing is, Tokyopop took so freaking long to FINALLY get the last vol. of dragon knights that I now skim through the other vol. going "wait, when did that happen?" or "oh yeah....I forgot about her..." Plus with the already confusing and mutiple plotlines, I'm a little hesistant to read the last two volumnes because I want to know so deeply what's going on (I really do love this manga to the point of owner every vol. of it though I have no money and it was the only thing I got for multiple CHristmases and birthdays when I was reading to catch up). Basically I don't want to ruin the ending bc I forgot half he things anyway.

Also, I'm currently writing a fanfic and well, does anyone know where I can find vol. summaries and/or explanations bc I dont have the luxery of rereading all the vol.s (YET. I swear I will one day!)

I mean, I'm still searching but honestly the name "dragon knights" is so generic and a billion things come up that dont help me. I was hoping one of you knew a fansite that had those things on it or something that could help.

PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

PS, you know how funny it is to look at the art from the beginning of the series to the end? major differences

No, it's not an exchange >_> That all goes to Cairnsey's dk_fic

This is instead just a place where people can post/link to their DK fanfics. Or, if anything, a place for me to store my old fics that FF.net took down >\

People are welcome to join and post :O If anything, look at it @_@;; It's pretty ^_^ (and I hated working with that layout template. Haaaaaaaaaaaet. But Sabel is pretty n_n)

dk_library dk_library dk_library dk_library dk_library
dk_library dk_library dk_library dk_library dk_library

Basically, people would send in voice recordings of sample lines (will be provided) for either a specific character, of if you don't know what character to do, a generic set of lines is also available for you to try out and we'll try and place with the most suitable character.

Yeah, yeah, the majority of the characters are guys and the majority of the fanbase are girls. That's all right, because LTB has a sound editor that she can use to *ahem* deepen the voices. The samples should still be in a suitable pitch and still be expressive of the character. But don't worry about sounding, ehm, too girly. *still trying to figure out how the hell she'd do Tetheus xD*

You can also apply for more than one character :O

So if you're interested, I suggest joining my forum and looking at the thread LTB posted, though feel free to comment here and stuff for questions.

As things become more defined, I'll make another post if necessary detailing it :O

Oh, and we may or may not use Tokyopop translations. Maybe. *unsure*

Alright, so now that I've finally got my hands on a copy of DK's final volume, I decided to post my opinions and criticisms.  Please feel free to come offer your own ideas or thoughts. ^_^

Free tea and lemon thingies, complimentary of Garfakcy.

Alright, Tokyopop's confusing me (wouldn't be the first time, though, would it?)  If you go to their website, volume 26 of Dragon Knights is already out and available.  However, if you check websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, the release date is still set at June 10th and it is only available for pre-order.

Is there anybody who knows if Tokyopop is actually selling right now, or would be willing to try to order and find out, or are they just messing with our heads?  >.>

Came in today, and features volumes 17 and 18. The extra chibi story in the back has chibi Fedelta, along with chibi Gil, Rath, and Cesia xD; Seeing chibi Fedelta makes me lawl.

The color insert is of Rim, Rune, Rath, Cesia, and Thatz...I have the image of it from a different time when I found here. Forgot where I found it. But that's not my scan :O So I'm not sure where it's originally from (like where it was first printed), but my guess would be Wings somewhere.

Anyway, here's the cover~

( STUPID MAN SHYRENDORA >_>; )

SERIOUSLY SHE LOOKS LIKE A MAN. And whhhhy did Tetheus had to be in the back T-T Stupid Shy twins should be in the front. Least Fedelta looks good...

The Dragon Knights fanfic exchange challenges will be going out sometime tomorrow, so this is everyone’s last chance to sign up if they haven’t already! We’ve already got 8 people signed up; it would be absolutely fabulous if we could get it up to 10! All the sign –up and community info can be found here: http://community.livejournal.com/dk_fic/402.html

Remember, this is your perfect opportunity to get that fic you’re dying to read written for you!

I've scanned in the companion gaiden to CONFESSION [-THATS-]. The first part was about Thatz and Rath; this part is about Kai-stern and Rath. Chibi!Rath is very cute. ^^

CONFESSION [-RATH-]

I don't have any icons, but I do have a lot of pretty stuff >____> So I'll just use Sabel's wallpaper as sample image xD;

• Mini Poster - featuring Tetheus, Shydeman, and Shyrendora.

• Opened a Dragon Knights RP Community on LiveJournal 8D
  

Get it all here~ ♥ Expect more stuff in the next update~

This has probably been asked before, but what exactly is Ikaihen Bunko? I thought the series had ended.

I've worked on this thing for like three days and it's finally open!

First timers and veterans are welcome to join dk_shinsekai, Dragon Knights: Shinsekai ~ A New World. It's set after the events of the series, so it's completely post-DK. It's all right if you don't know what happens in volume 26, people can probably fill you in on the important things and you should already know about certain things xD; (Reminds me, need to make an entry to discuss more about what happens at the end of DK, anyone want to volunteer to help? I can only go so far with just pictures xD)

It's first person post, and people can apply to play both Dragon Knights character and original characters! There's no overall plot, though there certainly can be another war since all the dead characters are available and can be revived. How that works is that some force from another dimension got bored and decided to revive everyone. More information regarding that is in the community.

But basically, the RP is more for character interaction and players can create their own plots for their characters that could actually lead to an even larger plot. Characters can even go on random missions~ I swear I designed this more like an MMO xD;

This was just a really, really brief gloss, I seriously am lacking sleep x_x; So just check out the community, I highly suggest also looking through dkshinsekai_log as that holds a lot of information about the mechanics and in depth workings that is going on in the RP.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or my main journal or...something iunno xD;

SPREAD THE LOVE OF DK!

Come one, come all ^_^. I've started up a Dragon Knights fan fiction exchange over at dk_fic. For a fandom that has a fairly decent sized fan base, there isn’t a huge amount of fan fiction. There’s certainly enough creativity floating around to remedy this, all that is required is a little push in the right direction!

All pairings/characters/genres can be requested, and as it’s fairly rare for new fanfic to pop up in the fandom in general, it's a great oppertunity to not only make someone else’s DK fanfic dream a reality, but also to get that fic you’ve desperately wanted to read for years written by someone else.

If anyone has any questions at all, ask away! The direct link to the sign up page is here.

:O The second volume for the bunko came in, and still no Sabel on cover xO But the color insert is the image of Rath, Sabel, and Galaba so I'll forgive. Here's the cover:



AND YES IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE PURPLE I DON'T KNOW WHY SCANNER IS BEING RETARDED XO *kicks it*

There's another chibi story thing at the end xDD These are definitely something new I think, since it's definitely Ohkami's newer style. It features chibi!Rath, chibi!Cesia, chibikitty!Gil, and chibi!Tintlet, and boy does she have A LOT of hair xD; I'm not sure what Rath is supposed to be doing but he gets some money? xD;;

( Cut for spoiler potential )

The only reason I ask now and not wait until like June for the TP release is because I RP as Sabel at laststopgakuen and there is an event that allows characters to be updated about things in their canon (I pulled him out after his first fight in Tetheus and while he's going around wreaking havoc). And I'm still not sure if I want him to know what's going on, but now I do xD;

So any help is appreciated :D

And yes, the comments responding to this post will have spoilers so you have been warned xO

And JOIN THE RP! We already have Tethy (me xD), Kitchel, Rath, and Alfeegi, with a Kharl being applied for 8D
