Live Blogs Slowzombie is blind about Dark, The Adventures of Dark Yagami

Note: This liveblog started on the forums in October, '09, and is being reposted/continued here.

Alright, as of yet I have been unable to convince myself this is a bad idea, thank my mental masochism for that. Now, I loved the Death Note manga, it managed to hook me with suspense in such a manner that I felt compelled to finish the series even after I had the ending spoiled and saw my number one fanboyed-over character ever die, horribly defeated only to be replaced with a... you know what, let's just skip that and leave it at the fact that I read Death Note to the end and enjoyed the story immensely.

Now, what is this fic which I intend to tear asunder with all the fanboy rage of a thousand Final Fantasy-flamefests? Light And Dark The Adventures Of Dark Yagami. First up, Dark Yagami? Calling your kid «Light» is one thing, but «Dark» ... seriously? Well, this fic better have a damn good explanation for this silliness. But hey, look at me, already ranting before I've even gotten to the fic, this can't be good. As you might be able to tell, I'm going in blind, so if I by any chance should end up ranting about a plot point that gets satisfactorily explained later, do forgive me, I'm assuming the worst about this one.

Bravo! A round of applause for Slowzombie, L and Light (or I guess as Dark would say, A TOAST FOR THE NOT DOOSHBAGS)

... I don't know. I really don't know. That said, I'm not sure if I'll do any more MSTings, but this one was fun, now if only liveblogs supported line breaks and color:evil... Oh well. Also mini-story on twitter:

Near gets abducted by a spaceship full of Shinigami, who Death Noted him so hard that he "SUPER DIED" then the shinigmai crash into Planet Blud and every shinigami onboards perish... yaaay. <.<

According to his Twitter, D'ark is also aware of the Light and Dark drinking game. I believe that he said "SOME OF IT IS VERY MEAN THOUGH". Which is, to be fair, not entirely innaccurate.

You know, D'ark wrote a two-chapter long Harry Potter fanfic that's also So Bad Its Good. I've been thinking of briefly Liveblogging that myself; both of his other fics are also Death Note, so you have a strict right to those, but I figure this one is fair game. What do you think?

I say go for it, all in the name of a good laff. I have plans of doing his Extended Universe DN fics but... well, they're a bit... eh, at least compared to his lulztastic later entry of the main series.

Okay, I've put up a blog of the first chapter of the HP fic.

Also, have you checked D'ark's Twitter lately? Because I recommend that you look at his Tweet from Christmas Day. You might be surprised at what you find.

Cool. Will be checking that out. On the topic of the tweet... well, I've got mixed feelings about this, but eh, it is was Christmas.

Yeah, it's taken me just about a week to get through it, but the new chapter is going up shortly.
