This is the prequel to Need. V/W, NC-17 for explicitness and swearing; you know what you get from me by now. Except this is a little different from my usual style, so any complaints should go to Renet for making me write it :-)
I have always loved Trigun, it is a favorite anime of mine. I have, however, never read ANY Yaoi fanfiction of Vash and Wolfwood (yumm).
I now blame my firend tameiki1for my current corruption. Your writing is wonderful, your descriptions are poetry and I like your plots. I am very happy to be now addicted to your writing.
We have many friends in common and I would like to friend you at my LJ and would like for you to "friend me back". I will add you so you can see my friend lock posts too. I have alot of those. So come by my LJ and look around. Talk to you soon. Warmly, Kat
Hey, thanks! It's always good to convert a new one :-) With a friend like Tam, you'll never be short of a bit of corruption, that's for sure!
Easily half the credit for the plots goes to Naito Yasuhiro, not me. You know you should read the manga, right? The anime is a mere ball of fluff compared to the places the manga goes - if you prefer the dark to the slapstick, the manga will own your soul, like it does mine :-)
And if you like V/W, go and read Renet's Trigun fics (http://www.behindthemasks.com/MistressRenet/trigun.html) if you haven't already.
Laughs, yes you are right I "should" read the manga and probably be will. It has been licensed in the states right? I collect alot of Yaoi manga and it's always a trip hunting down translations or scanlations, so if it's coming out in English that will really help, unless they alter it in anyway and then, I would need to hunt down the Japanese version instead.
Yes, Trigun does have an underlying darkness which I think gives the story substance. So many miss the forrest for the trees, with all the surface silly stuff.
I am currently at your website reading, and having a great time I might add. Thank you for also recommending Renet's work. I will definitely check out her/his writing when I finish reading your great stories. I am only on the second one - Pieces. ^___^
Well stop by and say "hi" at my LJ when you get a chance and thank you for friending me back!

Yeah, but only 3 volumes are out so far, so it's still kind of following the anime time period - it's a fairly loose relationship, though, because the anime writers changed a lot of stuff, mostly for the worse.
If only the manga was yaoi . You'll have to settle for shounen-ai, which does get pretty thick as the series goes on and Naito figured out where a large portion of his readership were coming from :-) Oh, and no het. That was invented by the anime people too.
Yesss, wouldn't been nice! Dream on - heh! Well do you have the Japanese manga and the English release to compare the work? Sometimes the translation houses like to edit things.
I am glad they never developed any heavy het relationships in the series . . . just hinted at it a bit. Well I am about to head out but enjoy talking with you and will definitely be back in touch after each of your stories I read. I love reviewing! ^___~
How did you know? I don't give out the freakishly obsessed vibes quite that strongly, do I? *looks shifty*
The Dark Horse translations have been excellent so far - they're accurate, and very much true to the spirit where the Japanese doesn't translate too well.
One word of warning before you spend money - the manga is something you read for the plot more than the artwork, at least initially. Naito's art style is very sketchy, particularly in the two Trigun volumes. It gets considerably better in Maximum, and continues to improve as the volumes go on. I really like the way he's drawing it now.
