Future topics

So as my title says, this is just a list of future topics that I'll be writing about with a few notes. It's more for my use than yours but just so people can see what's to come (maybe).

There are things from every genre that I like (almost every) and I haven't even gotten to the stuff that I really like (other than the gender bender posts-crossdressing and physical transformation). Here are a few topics I'll definitely want to write about:

1) (Fine) Arts
Notes: I have a fondness for the classic fine arts which has to do with how I perceive most mainstream pop culture manga seems to lack substance or is inferior in terms of substance when compared to the classic fine arts. There are subgenres that go into this category but for this post itself on Fine Arts, I'm probably going to include graphic art like drawing and painting, traditional dance, theater/acting, and classical music related (I may do pop culture music at some point but there's not much there). However, depending on how long the posts get, I'll probably cut stuff out and post it another time.

2) Ballet
Notes: I have a separate category for this compared to Fine Arts because I absolutely adore Ballet mangas specifically. It is also because the subgenre ballet is more concrete in the sense that I can easily think of mangas that fit in the category. I already have a list of the mangas I'm going to recommend in this category because this subgenre is limited in the scanlating world

3)Time Skips
Notes: This is different from time travel mangas. This topic will be more about mangas that start out with characters in youth. They'll have a story developing but then years past and their story continues with their reunion. I'll admit that this subgenre I have set out is quite vague and I'm going to be flexible on the time skip part but I won't recommend anything that I think is shallow or superficial.

4)Shounen
Notes: I'm not a huge fan of shounen so this is a "maybe" topic but I do have a few that I enjoy reading and rereading every so often. Since I'm not a huge fan of shounen and I identify myself as more of a shoujo/josei (now seinen-ish) reader, I think it'll be easier for me to write about the few favorites I have in the shounen genre. Compared to Shoujo and Josei which I read a lot more from, it's more difficult to write a whole post just on each of those genres whereas shounen, it's limited so it's easier. Well this is a maybe post.

5)Authors
Notes: There are quite a few authors I want to write about. So far I only have Yoshizumi Wataru (which I need to finish) and Wann. There's quite a lot actually than a few. Some to list: Maki Youko, Emura, Arina Tanemura, Saitou Chiho, Souryo Fuyumi, Ogawa Yayoi, George Asakura, Lee Hyeon-sook, Narita Minako, Sakai Miyu, Yoshino Aki, etc.

6.) Historical Fiction
Notes: This is my one of my favorite genres of all time. I don't want to elaborate right now but I give anything a chance to win my favor that goes back to the historical periods in any world (well not anything) so I know a few good ones under my belt included Japanese history which I think some people aren't as fond of compared to other historical fiction.

7)Mangaupdate polls
Notes: I like popping into Mangaupdates once a week at least for their weekly poll. Some are interesting, others aren't so much but there have been more than a few polls that are total starter topics as "food for thought" posts. I've been thinking about doing it for some time but because it's quite time consuming to write a whole "food for thought" post, I thought I'd just move it to the side

8) VS [Versus]
Notes: I said almost a year ago (still a few more months til it's a year), I said I might work on scanlating VS [Versus] because I find it a wonderful and amazing story. I'm not so sure when I'll get to that since currently I'm not using a laptop with Photoshop functions. My other laptop shitted up so when I came back down to school, I brought another laptop for personal use. The way I'm going to do it is probably clean as much as I can and later typeset.

9) ETC
Notes: I think this is good enough for topics wise. I have a few drafts posts in my blog that I haven't looked into in a while. So I may start on releasing those depending on how much time for school, work, life, and this =)

'Til next. (midterm seasons now til the end of the quarter, work is at a busy deadlines season too ack....)
