found the manga magazine cover that gerard was holding in this picture. It went by both MangasZene and MangaZone It looks like a majority senin/josei fan magazine, with some focus on shojou and and shonen. According to the translated wiki page (below), It also was one of the earlier european manga/anime magazines to focus more generally on japanese youth culture outside of manga or animation, including fashion music and video games. It also had a strong fan driven bend, as a few of the covers and centerfolds seem to be fanart, and the mag had fan letters, fanfiction, and dojinshi involved as sections in the comics (more info under the cut)
Common inclusions mentioned are clamp (xxxholic and chobits both appeared on covers either by name or in the cover art) ghost in the shell, a manga I dont know called the geisha (or "die geisha" in german), and Nana amongst others. Gerard almost definitely bought this because it had a cool goth girl with a fuckass bob and huge boots on the front curled up next to an androgynous probably-vapire-maybe-dude character with VAMPIRE in all caps printed directly next to them. I know his ass can't read german.
I haven't been able to find any scans of the inside or any articles outside of the front cover centerfolds and occasionally the fist page of ads. This post is also just a quick and cursory few google searches, so maybe I'll find more info if I keep digging.
Here you can find the original german language wikipedia article which discusses mangasZene (rough google translate english translation below the cut, but I can't confirm its complete accuracy as i know zero german)
Here are high quality cover scans for seemingly every issue on an auction site called lastdodo
If you want to send me money so I can bid on and buy a copy of the german language japanese culture magazine that gerard way read once in 2005 so I can do a youtube video reading and discussing it donate to my buy me a coffee
MangasZene was a German-language specialist magazine for anime (Japanese animation) and manga (Japanese comics), which appeared regularly from 2001 to 2006 and was discontinued after another special issue in autumn 2007.
MangasZene was founded by former editorial staff of the anime and manga magazine AnimaniA. The first two issues from January 2001 and March 2001 were still published as MangaZone before the title had to be changed for naming reasons.[1] When it was founded, MangasZene was the first German-language magazine that went beyond concentrating on Japanese comics and cartoons and also shed light on Japanese youth culture as a whole. In addition to anime and manga reviews, it offered reports on games and Japanese music and lifestyle. In addition, the reader should be given the opportunity to contribute and help shape the magazine through discussion corners, letters to the editor, fan gallery, dōjinshi and fanfiction corner and the opportunity to write guest contributions.
At the end of 2006, the publication of the magazine, which had been published every two months, was abandoned in favor of the plan to publish special issues limited to a specific topic at irregular intervals, each with an adjusted size, price and circulation. However, this was only realized with a special issue about Yuri and Yaoi in September 2007. In October 2007, insolvency proceedings were opened at the district court in Cologne against the publisher Erbschläger & Holzer. According to a statement from the editor-in-chief, further publications by the MangasZene in printed form are no longer planned.[2]
Other editorial activities The MangasZene editorial team has also organized the “Bonenkai” anime convention several times (2001 in Karlsruhe, 2002 in Leverkusen, 2004 and 2006 in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse). At the end of 2002, the DVD label Anime House was launched. Since this label no longer belonged to the Erbstosser & Holzer publishing house, it was not affected by the insolvency proceedings. Sources Burkhard Ihme (ed.): Comic! Yearbook 2008. Comic Interest Group ICOM, 2008, ISBN 978-3-88834-938-6, foreword (comic-i.com – quote: “A circulation of at least 15,000 copies is reached by the MANGASZENE, but only appears regularly with themed issues."). Statement of the editor-in-chief on the bankruptcy proceedings on December 9, 2007 in the MangasZene forum
#barry.txt#that last part is mostly a joke#like i'd do it but dont worry about it#I just saw this pic and realized I could use the power of google if I felt like it#this is a great crossover of my 2 interests. gerard way and niche early 00s anime fandom paraphernalia/fan projects#it doesnt say in the wiki but I wonder if it printed translated chapters of manga as well as articles interviews n fan works#posting this without proofreading a damn thing. thumbs up

Nick Mag Highlights - Nick Mag Presents: The Fairly OddParents (Spring 2004)
Welcome, one and all, back to Nick Mag Highlights! Today we’ll be checking out an installment of the Nick Mag Presents magazine that’s all about The Fairly OddParents, from Spring 2004!
(Lots of two-page screenshots in this one, loading may be a little slow!)
For those unaware, Nick Mag Presents was a separate publication that ran alongside the usual Nickelodeon Magazine we all know and love. These books acted as a way for Nickelodeon to compile content from Nickelodeon Magazine that was based around a specific show or theme, and release it to stores. They would sometimes coincide with special episodes or Nickelodeon movies that were releasing around the same time. For example this issue we’re looking at today is based on a then-upcoming half hour The Fairly OddParents special, “The Big Superhero Wish!”.
Nick Mag Presents ran from 1999 to 2008, and presumably was a pretty successful venture for Nickelodeon. People I’ve talked to that didn’t have a Nickelodeon Magazine subscription still remember grabbing an issue or two of these compilations while they were out shopping with their parents. It was another way to deliver Nickelodeon Magazine goodness to people, and that’s quite alright by me!
But wait a minute, why am I covering a supposed compilation of old content, when I could just be covering the magazines the content came from? Well for one, someone requested it, and I’m a nice guy. Second, Nick Mag Presents was the way a lot of people experienced Nickelodeon Magazine and I think it’s fair to show it respect. And third, it’s not just a compilation of old content! Yes, there is new stuff to be found here, from comics that are way longer than the usual Nickelodeon Magazine fare, to exclusive articles and activities. There’s some particularly good stuff in this magazine, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Special Addendum
In my previous NMH post on Issue #150, I brought attention to a challenge Nickelodeon was hosting online and in-print to celebrate the 10th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants. Nickelodeon promised that if kids could triumph over each SpongeBob-themed puzzle they posted each month, they would earn the password to a “digital prize online”. Since I couldn’t find anything more regarding this contest and scans of 2009 Nickelodeon Magazine issues are scarce, I asked viewers for anything they knew about it, particularly that digital prize.
And… apparently there was no prize! Yes, allegedly from a fan, Nickelodeon eventually stopped bringing up the prize in their issues, and presumably then the only reward for kids’ expertise over the SpongeBob puzzles would be a fleeting sense of accomplishment. Thanks a lot, Nickelodeon! I’m not sure what was a more disappointing celebration for SpongeBob’s 10th anniversary: this, or "Truth or Square".
Alrighty, are we good? Good. It’s super-hero time!
You can read the magazine here, if you’d like. I always recommend it!
So, The Fairly OddParents, huh? Not much to say about it, really. Anyone reading this certainly already knows what it is! It’s an iconic show, being one of Nickelodeon’s longest running series ever, among the likes of SpongeBob SquarePants and Rugrats. That’s a tremendous accomplishment, and it’s definitely earned its place in the hearts of many fans. Even if its name has been sullied a bit by its infamously lackluster later seasons, Drake Bell-starring movies, and ridiculously bad live action reboot.
But forget about all that! This is 2004, baby! The show was on its fourth season and still pumping out veritable hits. Alongside the aforementioned “The Big Superhero Wish!” half hour special, we received “The Jimmy-Timmy Power Hour” in 2004, too! That might give you a better frame of reference for the kind of “average kid that no one understands” content we can expect from this issue.
…Oh, right, the issue! Let’s get back on track. As you can see the offerings are a bit slimmer than your usual Nickelodeon Magazine. That’s understandable, and besides, what these books lack in celebrity interviews they make up for in extra-large comics! Since these books made their money largely through in-store purchases, they’re able to forgo most of the ad space and give us more of the good stuff.
One thing I really like about these Presents issues is that they always start with an admittedly wordy but well-meaning intro to the issue and its content. For example, the Summer 2003 issue of Nick Mag Presents (also based on The Fairly OddParents) contains a spiel from Mr. Crocker featuring his usual comedic ramblings on the existence of fairies.
Taking a look here, this issue’s intro features … uh, sorry, who is this? Some sort of comic book nerd I don’t remember ever being in the show? Well, whoever he is, he’s got a point! Here I am, nearly 20 years later, pointing to these magazines as the pinnacle of magazine entertainment. Cheers to you, comic book nerd!
Hey, this is really cool! All this behind-the-scenes info and concept art is a welcome surprise. Not sure what it has to do with superheroes per se, but you won’t hear me complaining. I know Butch Hartman is a bit of a polarizing figure these days, but it doesn’t make me any less satisfied to finally hear why the main characters wore those stretchy shoe-pants combo clothes.
This is a fun activity, and I could definitely see it getting the creative juices flowing for any kid looking to play superheroes and supervillains during recess. It also doubles as a (debatably) subtle way to introduce readers to the main villains of “The Big Superhero Wish!” and hype them up for the special’s premiere. Hey, I guess that kind of self-promotion is what we’re here for, right? You saw the cover!
I really think a lot of the people at the Nick Magazine office had a soft spot for the golden age of comics, what with articles like these and how The Comic Book section in their regular editions often contained references to the same era. If I’m right, then it’s cool to see people revitalizing parts of their childhood for a new generation. That’s some proper upcycling!
Now, recurring readers may remember that in the last NMH post, I briefly mentioned another issue of Nick Mag Presents themed around Avatar: The Last Airbender. I brought up that apparently the team behind it was full of avid Avatar fans who were passionate about the series. I bring this up because what’s especially cool is that in a similar vein, the writer behind this article on superhero sidekicks, Frank Pittarese, is a former editor for both DC and Marvel Comics! It's always nice to see when Nickelodeon was able to put the right people in the right place when it came to their magazine content.
Ah, alright, alright, this is what you’re really here for, isn’t it? Comics were understandably the main selling point of these books, to the point that Nickelodeon even ran a couple of “All-Comic Special” versions of Nick Mag Presents that were completely made up of that sort of wonderful paneled content. I’m not really one for covering comics beat-by-beat on this blog. I think if they’re really worth reading, you’re better off reading them yourself! It’s not like they’re long, and I’m certain it’d be more entertaining than any summary I could throw at you. But hey, I’ll try my best! It’s not like I could just skip over more than half the book, could I?
Fun fact: There’s a coloring error on page 10. See if you can spot it!
This first one, understandably based on The Fairly OddParents, is a pretty straightforward affair. It’s still longer than anything you’d get in your usual Nickelodeon Magazine, though! Not to mention it’s also pretty authentic to the show’s heyday, which isn’t too surprising given that the team behind the comic has its fair share of The Fairly OddParents crewmembers in it. The writer, Jack Thomas, has 55 writing credits on the show to his name! That’s nearly as many episodes of the show as there are in the first four seasons combined.
I’ve gotta be honest here when it comes to my critique of a nearly 20-year old comic based on an episode of a children’s television show, though: the story doesn’t make much sense! At least, in the context of “The Big Superhero Wish!” anyway.
The episode has Timmy making a few ill-conceived wishes that end up creating a league of supervillains out of his greatest enemies, led by Nega-Chin, the arch enemy of his favorite comic book hero, the Crimson Chin. It’s a good episode with some pretty funny bits, but more importantly, it has an ending that wraps up everything and returns all of Timmy’s enemies back to their regular selves. In other words, it sounds like it’d be hard to make a promotional comic based on it! The story doesn't really have any downtime to insert a plot line that could’ve happened but the audience just didn’t see. And it’s not like they could have simply retold the episode, this whole book is for the sake of getting you to tune in! So, with all that in mind, I guess I can’t be too harsh on the odd premise, which now apparently has all the supervillains as sentient beings in a comic book? Did Timmy’s wishes mess with the fabric of reality so badly that it resulted in turning his teacher, babysitter, and school bully into canonical characters of The Crimson Chin storyline?
Anyway, hopefully you’ve been reading along! Basically the league of villains are trying to hunt down the Crimson Chin by going into different issues of his comic from throughout history. Each Chin represents a different era and are differently designed to pander to whatever was popular in the market at the time similar to the constant re-envisionings superheroes have had throughout the years, particularly Batman (I think, at least. I’m not really a comics guy).
These Crimson Chin from different eras actually first appeared in an episode of The Fairly OddParents, “The Crimson Chin Meets Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad”. I guess the comic crew really had to use everything they could to get an 8-page comic out of this.
One or two inconsequential gripes aside, I still think this comic is a solid start to the book! It’s got the humor down (I found the line about a lawsuit on page 14 here particularly funny), and the satisfying colorful art that made the show so recognizable. Nice work!
Not really a fan of this section. There’s giving kids drawing tips and then there’s just telling them arbitrary rules on what they can and can’t draw. I get that Hartman’s trying to hearken back to the comic heroes he read as a kid that all had the same chiseled body type (clearly he has fun drawing them) but the way this is all framed is a bit too opinionated for me.
I just noticed this now as I’m uploading the image: Check out the cool designs they gave to all the panel borders! That’s a neat detail.
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is one of my all-time Nickelodeon favorites, so you could imagine I was pretty happy to see a comic based on the show make an appearance here! It has a fun concept and does stuff the show most likely couldn’t have, like shifting the artstyle to make it look like an old comic book when Sheen transports himself into one.
My only criticism is that the art just looks the slightest bit… off. Alright, more specifically: Sheen looks off. Jimmy looks fine enough, but Sheen just looks weird! For some reason this show didn't seem to have any standardized 2D designs for its characters, which led to every Jimmy Neutron comic in Nick Magazine looking vastly different. And it looks like Sheen drew the short end of the stick here. Don't see what I mean? Here's a collage of my favorite Sheen faces from this comic:
Ultra Lord. Not even once.
Hey, look at the bottom corners! You can see the comic pages actually overlapping the magazine’s page numbers and casting a shadow, as if the comic book is open and lying on your magazine! Lots of cool details in this one.
I'd recommend fans just read this one themselves. It's ten pages long, pretty funny, and does a lot of cool stuff with the idea that Sheen knows he's in a comic, like grabbing onto his own speech bubbles and jumping between the different panels.
Also, this could just be a "me" thing, but am I the only one who thought Ultra Lord was supposed to be a parody of Japanese kids' shows like Ultraman and Power Rangers? If they were trying to go for a "Space Age"-look for his design then they went a little too far with the intricate outfit and bright color, cause it really just gives me Super Sentai vibes more than anything. I bring this up because here Ultra Lord is portrayed as a '60s American comic book superhero, which I find odd. Again, maybe it’s just me.
Next up, it’s a comic based on the Rugrats sequel series, All Grown Up. I never really watched the show as a kid, I always wish they’d just put on Rugrats instead. Regardless, this comic’s alright, it’s about Tommy’s brother Dil becoming popular for doing dares, which leads to him realizing that fame isn’t worth risking your wellbeing over. A fine enough premise for a fine enough comic. One question does come to mind, though: What does this have to do with superheroes? Or comics, for that matter. I guess Dil does wear a cape and starts going by the nickname “Dil-Devil”, but that's like calling Evel Knievel a superhero.
But yeah, if All Grown Up is your thing, you can check out the comic if it sounds like it’s worth your while.
This ad here shows how Nick Mag Presents fit into the Nickelodeon Magazine subscription system. Essentially, they acted as bonuses to entice potential subscribers (without mentioning that these issues reused a lot of content originally from Nickelodeon Magazine, of course). I don’t think you could specifically get a Nick Mag Presents subscription, so getting them as bonuses for your subscription or buying them at the store were your only ways of procuring them.
I really wish more of these had scans, particularly the “official movie magazines” for The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Not to get preachy, but if you think you’ve got any issues of Nick Mag Presents or Nickelodeon Magazine not already available (there’s a spreadsheet to check, courtesy of @NickMagProject on Twitter), I implore you to scan and upload them. Come to think of it, I guess that goes for any old magazine you have really, if it’s convenient for you. You might just be saving a copy of somebody’s cherished childhood memory.
Back to The FairlyOddParents, with another tale all about comic books and superheroes. Go figure. Similar to the Jimmy Neutron comic from earlier, this one has Timmy going into the world of one of his new comic books to find out how the story ends. I like the art here, with the lineart done by C.H. Greenblatt (creator of Chowder and Harvey Beaks). It’s very similar to the show, but still stylized, looking a little more sharp and exaggerated than usual.
Oh hey! There’s that comic book nerd from earlier! Guess that explains that.
And when Timmy enters the comic world, the style switches over to art done by Sergio Aragones, a longtime artist for MAD Magazine. I only went through about two or three issues of MAD from my local library as a kid, and I still recognized this guy’s art when I saw it here. I think that definitely speaks to how distinct his style is and how often his work appeared in those issues.
Alright, back to business! The comic itself is fine, there’s a few good jokes. Greenblatt and Aragones’s art really picks up the slack while the entertainment value wanes a bit. Eh, maybe I’m just experiencing comic fatigue. Oh well, you read it and be the judge.
Now this is properly historic! I didn’t imagine there’d be an ad for a whole new channel in here, and it’s pretty funny, too.
Nicktoons had only been around for nine months or so when this ad was printed, which is pretty interesting to see as someone who can hardly remember a time without the channel’s existence. Anyone fortunate enough to have both channels was treated to two times the Nickelodeon, meaning there was usually always something good to watch.
It’s funny though how in hindsight this is more like Nickelodeon advertising their new funeral parlor, considering how often they used Nicktoons as a dumping ground for their lesser-performing shows to make room for more SpongeBob SquarePants. It’s happened to My Life as a Teenage Robot, El Tigre, Catscratch, and even more recent shows like Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to name a few.
It’d be cool if Nickelodeon used Nicktoons more like how Cartoon Network used their spinoff channel Boomerang: As a way to rerun their older shows for new generations to see. I always wished as a kid I could’ve watched some of Nick’s older stuff like Rocko’s Modern Life or Hey Arnold!. I always heard they were great, but unless I was willing to go out on a limb and buy a VHS of a show I had never seen, I was out of luck. Oh well.
Yeesh, this got bitter fast, didn't it? It's friggin' Invader Zim wearing a clown wig. I must still not be over what happened to Making Fiends…
The last few comics coming up are of the smaller, 2-page spread variety. So if any of them are originally from Nickelodeon Magazine, I’d bet on these last three. It’s a cute story, and I kinda love these little day-in-the life moments these comics tend to depict. The art of SpongeBob and Patrick here was done by longtime cartoon artist Shern Cohen (who actually did the cover art of the last Nickelodeon Magazine issue I checked out, #150!). The art for Mermaid Man’s comic was done by Ramona Fradon, a comic artist most well known for her art on Aquaman! Go figure, right? That is so cool.
So, what is ChalkZone considered nowadays? Cult classic or just a regular classic? Yeah, we probably won’t be seeing a reboot anytime soon but I’m pretty sure it was decently popular. I definitely remember watching it, but I’m hard-pressed to remember much about it outside of its surprisingly epic theme song. It’s definitely one of, if not the most relevant chalk-centric production in recent history.
Last comic of the evening, everyone! Good thing too, I think my eyes are starting to turn square from all the panels. Fittingly enough we’re rounding things off with another Fairly OddParents adventure, albeit one that’s very clearly not a superhero-related affair. But hey, who’s counting?
I still really like the dynamic Cosmo and Wanda used to have back in these earlier parts of the series’s history. Cosmo has always been the more carefree of the two, but Wanda wasn’t above a bit of goofing off and playing with her magic powers either. Seeing them have fun together as a pair made their relationship really cute and believable.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this comic was originally an episode concept they couldn’t flesh out to a full 11 minutes. Not the worst idea for getting the most you can out of your work!
And that just about wraps up this issue of Nick Mag Presents! I may have kind of sort of skipped over a crossword puzzle after that last comic but… if you’re really so inclined, be my guest.
Anyway, I’d like to thank one of my readers for suggesting that I check out Nick Mag Presents. It means a lot to me, and I hope I delivered! If anyone reading wants to recommend an issue of Nickelodeon Magazine, Nick Mag Presents, or even a completely unrelated magazine for me to cover on NMH Side Issues, be my guest! I am currently limited to what magazines are available online via The Internet Archive or otherwise, but if I can do it, I’ll check it out if I’ve got something to say on it.
But for now, I’d say it’s back to the ‘ole grind. With great magazines comes great responsibility after all, and these magazines don’t highlight themselves!
Have a good day, and as always, keep on reading!

ugh im ngl the fruits mag i from aug 2004 was kinda underwhelming... still keeping it ofc, but i didn't see a lot of the brands i rly love or the substyles i take inspiration from. there were still a lot of cool outfits, but nothing that rly resonated with me like a lot of the scans from the 90s. like umm why am i not seeing any 2047, sex pot, hg, milk, beauty:beast, or super lovers 😒
this was the consequences of the cover design change after 2003...
this one acc followed me who had a bunch of fruits mags from the late 90's and i was actually had my jaw drop because everything they showed i've either seen on pinterest/were so cool... maybe i just got a mid issue
it's ok tho cuz now that i actually have 1, it'll remind me to be on the hunt for them.

The American Girl Magazine Scan Project
I'm finally biting the bullet & working to scan every single American Girl Magazine issue that I currently have in my collection! I don't have every single issue, but I still have a solid chunk of the 2000s issues and that's not nothing.
I'm approaching this scanning project by scanning and cleaning in batches of months rather then by year. So instead of scanning all of my 2003 issues in one go, I'll be scanning every September/October issue I have. I plan to clean and upload all the scans in the batch before I move on to the next batch.
You can find a list of all the American Girl Magazines I have in my possession on this page.
Current Progress
Recently Purchased Issues/Provided Scans that I still need to upload:

Where to find these Scans
The Internet Archive
Read the magazine in-browser!
Leave a comment!
Download JPGs or the PDF!
I would like to one day share the original files, including my original rough scans so people can make their own edits/adjustments to the original scans. However, the sheer scale of the project & the file sizes are much more data then google drive offers by default. If I'm able to find a suitable solution or workaround, I'll note it here.
American Girl Magazine Scans
JPGs of every issue I have scans of!
Tags so you can look up artists, writers, and themes across multiple issues!
Reblog and share around on Tumblr!
I set up a side blog that will be devoted entirely to sharing scans from American Girl Magazine! Think of it as a backup to the Internet Archive upload: I can't upload PDFs onto Tumblr, but I can share JPGs of the scans. I can even tag them, so people looking for a specific subject or artist can do so more easily! I only started this side blog recently, so I am still getting caught up to what I have uploaded on the Internet Archive.
Help Needed
A lot of these issues were the same ones I used in my childhood, and as a result a lot of bonus materials are missing, such as the mini mags, posters or any stickers or posters. In some extreme cases, I'm even missing the magazine cover.
I've tried to make note of the pieces I'm missing both in the file names, the file description on the archive page, and on the list of AG Magazines currently in my possession. It's highly possible I might not notice pieces are missing until I'm scanning.
If you happen to have the missing materials/pages and you are gracious enough to scan it on my behalf, I will be in your debt. The missing material will be added to the uploads, and credit will be given to you as desired. You can find details on how to submit missing scans to me through this SUBMISSION POST!
If you do not have these issues, you can also help me buy issues by donating money to my Ko-Fi.
I hope you enjoy these scans!

Hello, love your scans! I have just been wondering where/how did you end up getting all of the magazines and such that you own? I saw in the FAQ that most of what you have you obtained years ago, but did you have subscriptions or? I live in North America and I never see any anime magazines anywhere in real life : (
Thank you so much! So there’s a couple of ways I ended up obtaining my magazines back in the olden days. In high school I was an exchange student to Japan and I picked up a lot of late 90s magazines during this time.
Skip forward a couple of years and the local comic book shop where I was attending University used to get Animage/Newtype through Diamond distributors. So it wasn’t a subscription so much as it was like having a monthly comic haul I guess? I actually hadn’t thought back about this at all until you mentioned it but I’m not sure how common it was at the time. That’s how I ended up with most of my 2000-2004 magazines (which I admittedly don’t have nearly as many of as 90s mags but I was paying premium ^^;).
Nowadays I think the only place I see Japanese magazines, retail-wise, is Kinokuniya (here in Australia). They’re definitely not that common but on the plus side if you’ve ever considered collecting them, decent-quality second-hand options are available to purchase online from a lot of Japanese shops (like Surugaya or Mandarake).

fanfic asks: 1, 4, 6, 9, 15, 20, 50, & 51!!
1. What was the first fandom you got involved in? Honestly, FDTD is the first fandom I’ve done anything approaching real involvement in! I was a long time lurker of many different fandoms, but this one is where I actually made accounts on the different platforms for myself, created stuff past a one off here or there (that mostly never saw the light of day lol) and actually interacted and even made friends in! However, if we are going for the first fandom I discovered, that would be Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
4. Do you regret getting involved in any fandoms? Since I’m only counting this one, nope! Though I will admit, several months ago I did start to see some of the rude or even nasty stuff that is scattered throughout probably all fandoms, directed at real people, normally over characters or ships. And I did make me think real hard about how much time I was putting into this, and whether it was something I wanted to continue to be a part of, even if it is pretty rare overall here. I decided to stick around, and I’m glad I did, but I definitely am trying to be much more conscious with disagreeing publicly when it comes across my dash.
6. List your OTP from each fandom you’ve been involved in. FDTD SethKate. Shoot, the only other kind of involvement in fandoms that I have OTPs in are Falling Skies Hal/Maggie. The Punisher’s Frank/Karen probably get in on just a technicality, since as much as I love them together, I could see them being happy with other people, but ONLY AFTER the events of the show and the impact they had on each other. I did make some vid requests waaaay back in the day for Life With Derek vids, since I couldn’t make any myself at the time! Here is one I found, but it’s not great quality anymore for some reason, and isn’t shippy, lol It’s Casey and her supportive therapist Paul, which is something I loved (VERY MUCH IN A NON ROMANTIC WAY) And I shipped Derek/Casey pretty hard, but I’m not sure they really reach OTP levels. And a fandom I am very much not in does hold the only other OTP slot I currently have (General Hospital’s Jason/Sam) which I talk about for question 20. The truth is I’m not really normally an OTPer, most shows I watch I couldn’t care less about the ships by themselves as long as I think everyone is acting in character and in interesting ways. Which is a prerequisite for me liking a show in the first place, so 🤷♀️
9. What are the best things about your current fandom? The people and the talent. AND THE SHOW, which I adore, for all its faults! But the people have really made this into something special.
15. Is there an obscure ship which you love? Hal/Maggie from Falling Skies probably qualifies for obscure, as there is shockingly little stuff for my favorite badass alien invasion resistance fighters duo.
20. Any ships which you surprised yourself by liking? OK, so this one may also count as obscure, they have a big presence on youtube but basically nothing on tumblr. Jasam aka Jason Morgan/Sam McCall from General Hospital. I don’t watch soaps as a general rule (not knocking them, by any means, they just rarely have stuff I am interested in, and the nature of the format makes it hard for me to stay invested) and when I first got cable I started catching glimpses of the late night reruns on the SOAP Network of some of the weirder ones, like Passions (haha thanks Spike for referencing it enough to catch my interest) and Port Charles, General Hospital’s confusingly related (but not really?) spinoff show. And then one day I noticed one of the Port Charles actresses (Sam!) was now on one of the big deal soaps, but was playing a different character! IN THE SAME TOWN?! but during the day, with less/no vampires and more/all mob antics. ANYWAY, end result is I got increasingly sucked into her storyline, and THEN THE JASAM STUFF HAPPENED, which it was so my kind of thing it’s not even funny. PARTNERS! IN CRIME! AND IN LOVE! BADASS SOFTNESS AND TRUST AND PEOPLE WHO LOVE AND PROTECT EACH OTHER AND THEN REALIZE WHOOPS WE’RE IN LOVE OH NO WHAT WILL WE DO. And the downside of loving a soap opera character or pairing is you just have to accept the fact that at some point they will become completely UNRECOGNIZABLE, either through characterization or actual recasting. 🤣 So while I did stop watching after the god awful “Sam sleeps with her stepdad and Jason has a secret love child” arc, I did tune back in for both their Mexico Road Trip Reunion and their (First) Wedding! And I still rewatch their 2004-early 2006 storylines on youtube, and I will always scan the supermarket soap mags for little glimpses into how things are going for them, which seems to be pretty well actually! They are definitely a real Legacy Couple now, and Jason the Original is apparently back too, which is nice.
50. How did you get into reading and/or writing fanfiction? Spuffy 😂. I don’t know how I found the first fanfic I read (other than clearly way to much free access to the internet) There’s a chance I was watching fanvids first, which led into finding out about fics. AND IN MY DAY THERE WAS NO YOUTUBE, so fanvids were much harder to find! RIP Buffyverse Database (i think that’s what it was called lol) But Spike was my favorite character on Buffy, and I fell so hard in love with the IDEA of Buffy and Spike having a romantic connection and acting on it, right up until it started actually happening in Season 6. It was a wild ride for twelve year old me, but I learned a ton about what kind of things I like in relationships, and want kind of things I VERY MUCH DO NOT LIKE. And for anyone who likes Spuffy, this is completely a personal preference, not a dig at the couple. I do understand the appeal, it’s just didn’t end up being what I wanted it to be.
51. Rant or Gush about one thing you love or hate in the world of fanfiction! Go! Ok, so this is a bit of advice with some rant mixed in! If you send anon stuff to a writer, please remember you are talking to a real person, and someone who has put themselves out there in some way enough for you to comment on. If you choose to go anon, the very fact of your anonymity means that the only information they will have are the contents of that one message you’ve sent, and that you’ve chosen to not take the risk of putting yourself out there in the same way the person receiving the message has. And if all you are sending in that message is a correction, or disagreement, or (in more extreme cases) even an attempt to police your fandom by telling someone else that they are participating wrong (meaning not in a way you agree with) then your message? May not be given the good faith extended to people who DO put themselves out there, however imperfectly they do it. Good and effective communication is so hard, I really understand, and it’s a skill that all of us are still learning and sometimes failing at. I’ve been really impressed by how I’ve seen people handle messages I know I would not have been able to do with such grace! Personally, at this point the cons of anon stuff outweighs the pros for me, but everyone gets to make their own choice on how they handle their inbox thankfully! (anon asks can be toggled off and on, and you can even block anons instead of answering them!) But anon or not, we should all treat each other kindly, even people we disagree strongly with. And if you do, you may even change someone's mind or learn something new yourself. I know from personal experience it’s way more effective than the alternative, which doesn’t make it easier, but does make it worth trying.
Thanks for sending these in @alwaysupatnight! 💖💖💖

Even terug in de tijd naar 17 maart 2016
In 2003 na dat me vader is overleden begon voor mij eigenlijk ook het ziekenhuis een rol te spelen in me leven. Omdat ik veel last had van hoesten en het vermoeden was toch een vochtig huis werd er besloten om long foto's te maken. Ik was nog niet thuis of de telefoon ging al. Ze hadden bij de linker long een een vlek gezien niet erin maar aan de buitenkant dit moest zo snel mogelijk onderzocht worden. Er is toen snel een ct-scan gemaakt en ze vonden een aneurysma net na de aorta boog van 5 cm lang en 5 cm dik alleen op bult zat nog een bult van een 1 cm. Ik ben via het ziekenhuis in Apeldoorn doorverwezen naar het vu in Amsterdam want daar waren ze op dat moment het verste met aneurysma in de borstholte en in Nijmegen konden ze het net 3 maanden dus de keus was makkelijk.Ik zou wel gevolgd worden door artsen in America omdat ze nog weinig wisten over stents aanbrengen via de lies en ik was een mooi persoon om dit te volgen. Ik was toen 36 jaar.Ik ben op 8 april 2004 geopereerd eraan en het herstel verliep goed. De jaren die er daarna volgden bleek het aneurysma heel mooi om de prothese te zijn geslonken en het resultaat was beter als ze verwachten. Had wel wat vaker last van de rug maar niet noemenswaardig kwam ook door meer oorzaken. Ik ben in 2007 verhuisd van Apeldoorn weer terug naar Nijmegen toch de stad waar mijn wortels liggen.Ik heb in 2009 een hond in huis genomen ze kwam van vrienden het was een hollandse herder ze heette Goldie. Ik kwam in de zomer van 2013 er achter dat ik de ene keer 10 km kon lopen en de andere dag amper 100 meter. Mijn huisarts was ondertussen verhuisd naar een huisartsen praktijk. Dus ik kreeg wel eens een andere dokter.het begon eigenlijk met pijn bij me rechter rib de onderste. Ik kreeg vaak een andere arts aangewezen bij de huisartsen post omdat die eerder tijd had als me eigen huisarts, zo had ik eens galstenen spieren verrekt en fysio werkte averechts en toen ineens copd. Ik ging weer bij haar op consult van wegen de pijn en kreeg te horen neem je maar een paracetamol ik kwam omdat die dingen niks hielpen. De maat was vol voor me en ben avonds naar het ziekenhuis gegaan. De arts dacht misschien een spier verrekt bij de rib door het hoesten maar kon zijn eigen niet vinden met de uitspraken en heeft een boze mail gestuurd naar mijn eigen huisarts met het verzoek om de copd nader te onderzoeken met foto's en een test want hij geloofde er weinig van. Ik kon een dag later al terecht en een paar dagen later op naar het ziekenhuis voor long foto's. Het was inmiddels al februari 2014. IK was nog niet thuis van de foto's of de telefoon ging alweer, de huisarts ze hadden een fors aneurysma gezien de prothese van de vorige bungelde in de nieuwe en deze nieuwe aneurysma was geschat op 10 cm lang en 10 cm breed.IK moest met spoed na de eerste hulp komen omdat ze dit toch wel nader wilde bekijken. Na de ct scan had ik nog griep ook werd er besloten er worden weer 2 protheses bijgezet 1 aan de onderkant van het nieuwe aneurysma en 1 die word in de nieuwe en oude prothese ingebracht om zo het aneurysma uit te schakelen. ik zou snel opgeroepen worden. Het was 18 maart 2014 en werd morgens wakker en had het gevoel als ik het einde van de dag haal mag ik in me handen klappen. Ik heb de huisarts gebeld en na overleg moest ik direct naar de eerste hulp. Daar aangekomen werd ik onderzocht en de vaatchirurg kwam voor me zitten met een bezorgd gezicht. Hij zei je prothese is al in Nederland die zijn ze met super spoed aan het ophalen ik moet jou nog 2 uur in leven zien te houden. Op dat moment ging de deur open kwamen er 4 dames binnen pakte me vierkant op werd op bed gelegd en naar ic vervoerd.Ze wilde zo goed mogelijk de protocol uitvoeren en dat houd in om de benen kunstmatig te verlammen en dit na de operatie weer langzaam op gang te laten komen dan heb je minder kans op blijvende verlamming na de operatie. Ik werd een paar dagen later wakker en kreeg te horen de operatie is geslaagd alleen ik had een flink delirium gehad. Ik weet hier niks meer van ik mocht na de mediumcare. Ik had wel steeds ruzie met een klok vond dat ie niet snel genoeg liep. Na 2 dagen na de afdeling en toen alles goed werd bevonden na een dag of 4 naar huis. Bij de apotheek begon het alweer lang wachten want de zorgverzekering had gevraagd of de medicijnen niet in een andere goedkopere vorm konden na veel overleg tussen apotheek zorgverzekering en arts werden paar dingen vervangen de arts zei wel moet wel dezelfde werking hebben. Het revalideren was begonnen en ging toch anders als verwacht maar er was vooruitgang. De pijn bij me rechter rib blijft terug komen en dat komt door het aneurysma dat duwt organen aan de kant luchtpijp en slokdarm darm zitten ook scheef long word in geduwd en organen eronder vinden ook hinder ervan. Maar als het aneurysma zou gaan slinken zouden de problemen ook weg gaan. Het aneurysma was tijdens de operatie al 12 cm geworden. het revalideren gaat redelijk helaas komt me zwager in november te overlijden. Dus wilde ik er graag zijn voor me zusje want ik weet hoe het voelt jong een ouder verliezen. Helaas moet ik op 3 december me hond in laten slapen ze was vergiftigd en haar nieren konden het niet meer bol werken. Het is 16 december 2014 ik ga werken en op werk voel ik me niet lekker. De chef die er is stuurt me naar huis. Maar onder het lopen beginnen me benen raar te doen rare tintelpijn. Een collega zet me op een bureaustoel en rijd me naar de kleedruimte. Daar onder het omkleden het snel erger werd en ik op de grond belanden omdat ik me benen niet meer voelde. De chef heeft toen een ambulance laten komen en het bhv team. Ik was blij dat de ambulance er was werd vlug onderzocht en het vermoeden was dat me aorta lek was geslagen. Ik had ook geen gevoel meer in me rechterarm. De ambulance is met zwaailicht en sirene naar het radboudumc gespoed. Daar aangekomen op de trauma hadden ze al snel in de gaten dat ik een grote bloedprop had en die was boven in me rechter lies blijven steken. Ik had gelukkig een medicijnlijstje in de bhv kast op werk neer laten leggen en de trauma arts had het vermoeden al dat die medicijnen wel eens gebotst zouden kunnen hebben, komt maar zelden voor maar ja ik was de 1 op de miljoen dus.Helaas ook een infarct gehad in me milt en rechter nier. ok me huid begint allergie te vertonen en na wat bezoekjes word besloten de huidklachten te onderdrukken omdat ik de medicijnen echt nodig heb met name de morfine voor de pijn,dus pilletje erbij en wat zalfjes. De bloedprop hebben ze opgelost en naar een week ongeveer mag ik naar huis terug.Toch met kou en lange inspanning willen me benen niet meer en beginnen behoorlijk pijn te doen. Ik heb dit met de arts besproken maar hij was eerlijk hij zei als het erger word aan de bel trekken. Het revalideren gaat slecht ik word regelmatig eerder naar huis gestuurd en de pijn bij de rib kliert ook aardig. Het is 18 maart 2015 ik sta op met veel pijn bij de rechter rib, ik bel de huisarts kan gelijk komen. ik weet nog dat een dame me vroeg wilt u voor meneer het gaat niet goed met u. Daarna lag ik in een ambulance op weg naar het ziekenhuis. na controle bleek toch het aneurysma te liggen klieren en ik moest de pijn voorblijven dan maar huiduitslag. Dus nu standaard alle pijnstilling in nemen en niet een basis pijn stilling en aanvullen als de pijn komt. Het is 3 juni 2015 ik ben weer op me werk en het revalideren is bagger. Simpele dingen of dingen waar ik bij kan zitten gaan redelijk goed. Allen nu ging ik zitten en er kwam een rare nare pijn bij dat me gewoon naar de grond sloeg en me linkerzijde als ik daarop lag was de pijn het minst. De chef die er is belt gelijk een ambulance. In de ambulance waren me waarde weer redelijk normaal maar ik ben een valkuil patiënt dus ze moeten me naar het ziekenhuis brengen voor onderzoek. Me gewicht bloeddruk en hartslag hadden de normale waarde. Aangekomen bij de trauma onderzoek gehad en ze hebben besloten een ct-scan met vloeistof en dan ter observatie op de eerste hulp. De collega gaat weer terug naar het bedrijf die was mee gereden want het kon nog wel uren duren. Ik lig op d eerste hulp en er komt iemand vragen of ik gereanimeerd wil worden ik kijk ze aan is het nodig dan? ow u weet het nog niet. Gelijk kwam de Vaatchirurg en die vertelde me u hebt weer een nier infarct gehad in u rechter nier maar we hebben iets anders ontdekt en dat is dat de prothese aan het uitbreken is en het verse bloed komt in het aneurysma en maakt zo bloed klontjes.Zoals het nu zit zal het nog wel een paar dagen bij volledige rust blijven zitten maar er moet iets aangedaan worden. De keuze een open operatie dat is de zwaarste operatie die er is en kom je met mankementen uit omdat ik niet echt top fit ben en heeft ook een lange revalidatie nodig meer als 2 jaar. Of de stents recht zetten en daar 1 lange stent overheen dat kon nog net voor ze andere belangrijke aders gaan afsluiten.Ik heb voor het laatste gekozen dat was volgens de vaatchirurg ook de beste optie een open operatie kan nog altijd.5 juni 2015 ben ik met succes geopereerd en weer de dood ontlopen gelukkig. Het is 21 juli 2015 ik moet op controle heb een vragenlijstje want de pijn achter me recht rib is erger geworden en trekt naar de rug toe dit zouden ze na de operatie uitzoeken omdat ze vermoeden dat dit nog steeds van het aneurysma komt dat helaas nog ruim 12 cm. Alleen er was weer een tegenvaller de nieuwe stent is aan de onderkant niet mooi in de aorta geschoten en lekt. Nu moet ik aansterken en gaan ze in september met een ballon naar binnen om de boel aan te drukken en het lek op te heffen.Ik hoop dat dit echt het laatste is me benen hebben het ook weer een behoorlijke klap gehad. maar ja ik ben er nog!!

have you read the infamous elle 2004 interview? nylover(.)blogspot(.)com/2005/06/elle-april-04-mischa-barton(.)html it has some howlers in there, which at the time got mischa a lot of backlash from fans. i think the reaction was overstated because she sounds like any 17 year old, it's just that she was unfiltered to the point of rudeness. but the full write-up is an illuminating read on the weirdness of her personality and her experience with early fame
I read that yesterday! Here's scans of the mag itself from that fansite. The Fred Segal stuff made me laugh but I read a later interview where she had to apologize and ~clarify~ lol. She sounds like any other 18 y/o actress at the time. She was definitely privileged and rude but you're right that it's fascinating to see the ~real~ her before her interviews became more controlled. I give her slack for being a dumb teen overwhelmed by that world.
