11 - Keep your rifles up, it's the elusive Teal Deer!

[eibii.livejournal.com]

Wow. Definitely needs more appreciation, that is for sure. But even then, it's so hard to imagine an active Planetes fandom. The series is so very unlike anything else I've run into. It would take someone with a good understanding of how a story (big or small) works to start doing fic for it, even oneshots. The flavor of it is so distinct that usual fan tropes would just bounce off, unless done in some cleverly ironic fashion.

I can imagine some of the best writers I know looking at it and saying one of two things.

1) "I have no desire to write for this, because it's said everything it needs to, I don't need to add a damn thing."

or 2) "Oh, hey, I could write about -- oh, never mind. I'm nowhere near good enough for this." [bummed, proceeds to toss idea into metaphorical wastebasket, and go work on something else]

It's kind of cool, but... very intimidating. I'd still read it, though.

Don't start me on the badassery that would be a well-done cosplay. How many hours and hundreds of bucks would one blow in materials and work to get a spacesuit like that? The mind, she boggles.

Planetes is awesome.

I had this idea for an expansive sequel that I even went as far as outlining, but it would've been at least a novel's worth of material and augh I am not remotely writer enough to be doing stuff like that. :-( So yeah, number 2.

Wow, cosplay never occurred to me, mostly because they don't seem like costumes, somehow. But yeah, that would be incredibly cool. Whoever does it is my hero.

I don't get your subject line.

teal deer = tl;dr

Y'know, I'd love to see cosplayers dressed as... gah, it's been too long since I watched it - the fat blond guy and the skinny Indian guy, from the anime?

(Man, now I want to draw Hachi dressed up like Shirotsugh Lhadatt.)

Aaah. Ha ha. I get it.

Lavie's the indian guy. All I remember is that they call the fat boss guy "Kacho," but that's his title.

And OMG I would, no joke, commission that from you. *_*
