Legion of Super-Heroes

Late in 1999, I joined a mailing list for fan fiction based on the Legion of Super-Heroes. I've enjoyed reading this comic book series from DC Comics for many years (I don't think I'll mention yet just how many years). Come see some great fan fiction and fan art by the list members, drawn from all eras of the Legion's history.

Most of my LSH-related artwork is posted to the LegionFiction mailing list, and so is included in the LegionFiction Gallery (updated 7/17/2003). A few pieces of my LSH work do not get posted to the mailing list, and so will be shown here. On the LSH-pics Yahoo! group, Scott Johnson began Hems and Hers, a series of story and art based on the idea of an all-female Legion. I've also contributed some fan art to that effort.

Ranma 1/2

Another of my favorite series out of Japan is Ranma 1/2 by Rumiko Takahashi. English translations of comic books, animated television episodes, videos and movies, are available in America from Viz Communications. This story is primarily comedy, following the adventures of a teen-aged martial artist named Ranma Saotome, and his family and friends. The problem? Ranma suffers from a curse, which causes him to transform into a cute teen-aged girl when he's doused with cold water. More information can be found among the numerous Ranma links at Anime Web Turnpike.

Sailor Moon

Sailor Moon began as a manga by Naoko Takeuchi. Its original Japanese title was Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, or Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. The story expanded to a popular anime series which ran multiple seasons, and movies. The anime has begun to be translated and broadcast on American television. It is also one of the most popular sources of fan fiction and fan art on the Internet. It is one of my favorite anime obsessions, probably second only to Shoujo Kakumei Utena.

For more information on this story, see the Sailor Moon links at Anime Web Turnpike, and Hitoshi Doi's very thorough site Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon.

ArtSpots Yerf Historical Archive The Yerf Archive of anthropomorphic art, if not now closed, seems to be in questionable status. The folks at ArtSpots are working to bring the Yerf material back online as a historical archive.

Fantasy & Miscellaneous

Many of the works in this section are listed with "Oekaki" as the medium. I have works at Oekaki Central, Oekaki Circle, Michy's Shrine and The Folly's Lounge Oekaki Board. Also, rarely there are failures in attempting to post works to oekaki boards. A few of the pieces here suffered such posting failures, and so are only available here.

November 7, 2004 — Good news! OekakiCentral is now open for registration all the time, not just during the first week of the month. Come visit! Come join us!
