Hello and welcome to Keba's Anime and Manga Place (KAAMP for short)! Here at KAAMP, I write about anime and manga that I have seen/read as well as my views on them. I'll also post about my original stories from time to time.

Just beware that some of my posts contain spoilers. I'll put them in spoiler tags just in case.

KAAMP's history: KAAMP was created in July 2002 by yours truly. It was a sloppy-looking website on Yahoo's now defunct Geocities. I posted my anime fan art on that site. Also, for a time, I posted my thoughts on the few anime series that I had seen. Now that I look back on it, my thoughts were rather ill-informed (is that even a word?) because I had only seen bits and pieces of anime dubs. Now that I've seen more series, I think that my commentary on various anime will be a little better than before.

So, come on in and stay awhile! KAAMP is now in session.

Character Studies? Writer's Block?

I'm kind of having an artist/writer's block. I know I need to tune up that chapter of Survival Instincts, but I feel like I might be rusty. I guess that goes for all of my stories. Heck, it goes for DRAWING my OCs, too.

I want to do one of those character studies where you draw a character with different poses and expressions. It's kind of like those character model sheets that are revealed as teasers for anime premiers. I just don't know how to go about doing those. And yes, I'm probably making this more complicated than it has to be. Any thoughts/tips?

I'd also like some tips on getting back into writing my stories. It's been a looooooong time since I touched any of them. My fear is that I've lost the "feel" of each one. I know where The Rebels of Planet Aadau is going because I wrote out most of it roughly 15 years ago (I can't believe it's been that long! O_O). I also know exactly what to do with Destination, but it's getting very hard to capture the essence of it. Survival Instincts kind of turns into a mess around the 9th chapter and the 10th is kind of a cliffhanger. I have no idea what to do with it after that.

I created Fiction Feedback Central to generate excitement about my stories, and for others to do the same. I guess it hasn't been going as well as I had hoped.

So yeah. Lots of blocks.

And now for something slightly off the subject.

My CD Collection World is nearly at 300 views even though I have NO REVIEWS WHATSOEVER. I really have no idea which one to do first. I don't even feel like I have enough information to write a well-rounded review for most of my albums. Anyone know of any sites that give information on music? I'd do research on my own, but usually I find a lot of biased junk that makes my blood pressure skyrocket.

Again, review requests are open. Mostly because I'm so indecisive.

I have also added 22 more albums to my collection. I should go add them... sometime.

Speaking of stuff to add, I should totally rework my intro for this very World. Anyone want to read one of those "about me"/likes/dislikes things?
