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.

I didn't realise that D'ark Y'agami actually kept up with this Liveblog. I'm now envisioning some kind of epic rivalry between the two of you.

That makes two of us, Idler. I'm honestly a little surprised, but it only deepens my suspicions vis-a-vis my fellow tropers. But yeah, seems like we are locked in an epic battle, he and I. Snarker and Ficcer, Order and Chaos, Roger Ebert and The Dude Who Made The Brown Bunny, the stuff of legends folks.

I must say, I'm not entirely sure about this new Liveblog system. Although I do like that we now have chapter headings.

I'm a bit uncertain myself, but there's a lot of nice features, it's more organized, I feel, and the ability to link the whole shebang to the works page of the thing definitely is a plus to me.

Oh, and twitter update/snark goes here, to keep things orderly, y'know.

HEY DUDES WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD NAME FOR A SHINIGAMI WITH MAGNET POWRES! I NEED TO NO FOR MY FIC!

Magnet powers? This... yeah, this is potentially amusing. Double points if there's a "Fuckin' Magnets"-joke in there somewhere.

Yeah, it's going up in a couple of minutes. This one's a keeper, y'all.
