Hi! I have 10 extra copies of Eroica - they're the original releases in the Japanese language. I was planning to list them each seperately on Ebay, but I have no idea what a fair price is to ask for them. I see someone in Japan selling brand-new for $10 each, but I figure that's a bit high.

They're numbered 1-5, & 8-12 - #1 has staining on the lower right corner, and there is shelf wear to the dust jackets on the rest of them.

If I go too low, potential bidders might think there's something wrong with them, and too high would make sure they sit.

Does anyone here have suggestions on fair potential prices? I'd really appreciate it.

Of course, if anyone here is interested, I'll be happy to sell or trade them off-Ebay.

Thanks!

A pocket book version of "The making of Eroica" is just released. Here it is on Amazon. Looks nice, I think.

Here is a link to Amazon in Japan, selling it. There is, however, no image up there yet. If you want to see an image, here is a yahoo auction with one. It's already been mentioned in a previous thread, but I thought I'd post a separate thread about it, to make it a bit more visible. :)

Hello, all!
June is rainy season in Japan. See the front cover of latest issue of Princess GOLD!

With the 'From Eroica With Love volume 14' coming out in just around 2 months I had an idea. What if the San Francisco bay area fans got together to squee and fangirl while we read our copies. I am planning to buy mine at Kinokuniya books in Japan center soon after the release date so anyone interested in getting together please send me a personal message.



Thank you Margaret for permission to make this post.

Hi!

I lost about 3/4 of the eroica fics that I had accumulated over quite some time with my old notebook. I think I recovered most of them, but I just can't find one particular story. Unfortunately I don't know the title or the name of the author. I've already searched the archives, but didn't come across it again and it just drives me crazy. Maybe someone of you helpful people can point me in the right direction?

Summary: Klaus has finally succeded in driving Dorian away for good. I just don't remember how or why. Giving up on Klaus, Dorian tries to get it on with another guy, who is also a thief. That one gets caught and surprisingly Klaus shows up in prison with a deal. Klaus will get him out, if he stays with Dorian and makes him happy under the condition that he won't tell Dorian it was Klaus behind it. Naturally the other man tells Dorian because he senses that Klaus regrets losing and hurting Dorian and Dorian is still missing the major.Which ultimately leads to a reunion between Dorian and Klaus, while the other one leaves.

I hope you can help me and put my mind to rest.^^

One more question: Is the e-mail archive at eroicsfans.org down? It hasn't sent me any stories, altough I requested them 3 weeks ago.

I hope this is allowed? *looks to the mod*

I would just like you guys to know that pink_panzer is now up and running. This will become our primary announcement blog for new releases/projects. Please do sign up if you want to be kept updated with the groups releases.

Thank you!

Okay fellow fan fic writers - I am in FULL PIMP MODE!!! :)

I wanted to beg, plead and grovel for your permission to become part of the new crack for the fan fiction reading public at large!

There's a new livejournal that just opened which features the works of fanfic writers by hosting their stories - converted into ebooks! Specifically for Kindle ebook (and other brands too) readers - or for anyone who uses the free mobi-pocket reader program on their computers or cell phones.

Now here's the BIG QUESTION! Would you please please please consider giving your permission to share your stories at kindle_fanfic ??? And if you’re not a writer, but have a VERY faithful following for a certain slash writer, would you pretty please pass this invitation along to them and encourage that they consider letting their work be featured???

Ebook readers, computers and mobile phones – with your favorite fics right at your fingertips – that would ROCK! I'm very sure others would be happy to have them available to re-read again and again, whether they are online or not.

I've given permission for my own stories to be featured. Crossing fingers maybe this might interest you as well?

The archivist will gladly convert the files - full credit to you as always! - create an author page for your fic and will host all of your Kindle/Mobi Pocket Reader converted stories on her own website for download by members of the new livejournal.

You get a larger new audience for your work, and you get to add to the ever growing list of fandoms being featured! It's win, win!

If you're interested - let me know and I will pass along the information the archivist gave me about how to send the files to her, etc.

Please - think about it!!!

Hugs

This has been bothering me for the past few days and I didn't really know where else to post this...

There's a Klaus/Dorian fanfic that I need help in finding. The only scene that I remember is that Klaus will purposely slam Eroica's door / knock (?) very loudly, stop to listen, and receive a sort of wicked glee when he hears something that is undoubtedly very expensive and precious crash to the floor. He might have done this a few times, to Bonham's horror in the course of the fic, I'm not sure.


Does this ring a bell...?

I'm going through Hoshi no Yakata when I notice something. The dude that they're currently tying up in bondage gear and whatnot looks suspiciously like Klaus.

Follow the fake cut.

Hi,there.
I remember the following was being discussed in a certain post here:

In the Japanese original version, does Klaus actually sing himself to sleep with "Mary Had A Little Lamb" or does he sing another close nursery rhyme?

( embedded YouTube behind the cut )

I know that it's cutting it close, but I hope it's still March 14 on the other parts of the world! :D

The Pink Panzer wishes everyone had a nice White Day! Did you guys get chocolates?


This time on Eroica Story 17 Chapter 2D, medical mystery abounds! Klaus learns that he has ESP and can give people colds by staring at them! Could Dorian's gaydar be possibly broken? If not, then where's Klaus? And later, James finds himself locked in a room with a mountain of treasure! Surely, this is heaven!!

Also on Marginal Chapter 3; Grinja, Ashijin and Kira lives an idyllic honeymoon-esque life in the cave. Will there be a threesome or is it just a fangirl dream?

Download and see! Visit our website for the links.

I was just going through this list, and suddenly it hit me... if I had Klaus' email address, this is exactly the kind of thing I'd send him. (The one for Germany wasn't as bad as I thought it might be.)

Conan O'Brien Hates My Homeland - The Complete List

I admit it... I never knew about this Conan sketch until now. What can I say, I don't watch TV.

In the May issue of Princess Gold will be the first part of the new Eroica: The Return of Saint John. This issue will be for sale on April 16th. A friend of mine in Japan, Estset, sent me these images:

To me Klaus looks as if he's considering Dorian very carefully ... Interesting.

Very nice video of Robert and Jimmy together. They were so hot when they were young, they are still hot to us older fans.

I don't know if any of you have seen this, but a video about Eroica I found on YouTube. Apparently an art critic (Natsume) is explaining the differences of men and women in old shoujo manga using Eroica as an example.

Completely useless factoid.

Today is Valentine's Day.

90 days from today is May 15th.

Dorian is already scheming.

Considering it's the Major's most nerve-wracking day of the year, what do you think the good Earl has in store for him this time around?
