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.

Wait, is this actually going to end!? NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I love this fic! And this Liveblog was inspired by something I posted! This can't end!

By the way, I finally finished my liveblog of "Who Is Voldemort's Dad?"

...and why is Light upset that Misa won't have sex with him? Isn't he gay in this? I suppose he could just be a really camp bisexual, but I doubt D'ark thought it through to that extent.

To answer your question... I don't know. I just don't know any more. Light and L have been jumping all around the Kinsey Scale for about thirty installments by now, and I don't even know any more D:

It does seem like this is approaching an end. But the writing of is so insane that really, he could do anything at this point to make it last longer and it would be no less consistent that anything else written previously. Maybe someone will find an Uber Life Life Note or something and bring back the entire rest of the world's population.

I don't know if anyone told you about this, Slow, so I'll mention it here; we recently had forum awards and this was nominated for best Liveblog. Now, I think voting occurred a little bit after the voting was closed or something, but still, as it is now, this came second to Mr AHR's EGS Liveblog, and was the only one other than that one to finish with a positive amount of votes.

So, congratulations! I was hoping you'd win, personally, but ah well.

Huh. I did not know about this. Well, it was nice to be nominated, and to be the runners up, for that matter :D

So, just out of curiosity, have you even begun to suspect this to be a trollfic by this point?

Also, I'm so sweeping the next liveblog awards that it's not even funny.

Let's just say... the thought has crossed my mind, and it was discussed at some length in the original thread. At this point, though, I'm just kicking back and enjoy the madness for what it's worth. Lately, it's been pretty entertaining madness.

Okay, I just got to the "they were bananas made of blood" thing and I'm convinced it's a troll. Unfortunately, this takes all the humor out of it for me, so I'm going to pretend really really hard that someone actually thought this wasn't the herpiest derp since herp came to derptown.
