I get so many inspirations when I'm watching anime late at night. A lot of my fan fiction ideas came to me while I was binge-watching in the early hours of the morning.
From the perspective of fan works: It would be great if people wanted to write reviews or fan fiction after the book club. It could help build a creative community.
As a creator, I find a lot of resonance in the characters of Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun😂 The daily life of creators is really interesting.
When writing fan fiction, I always use the original Japanese audio as a reference. The tone and pacing of the voice actors influence my understanding of the characters.
Many cancelled works have been revived in other magazines later on, such as Mairimashita! Iruma-kun. So, there's no need to give up hope entirely.
What surprises me most is Yoshihiro Togashi's "HxH"—although it's often criticized for being "rough drafts," his artwork is truly top-tier when he draws seriously.
My dad is also a Gundam fan! The Gundam fans of his generation are still so passionate even now, even more dedicated than our generation.
The idea of using screenshots as wallpapers is awesome! I want to try it too, but my aesthetic sense isn't good enough to pick out a nice composition...
