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.

Challenge Dilemma

Update at the bottom

I want to make a new Challenge so bad, but I have a dilemma. The dilemma is about the prizes for this Challenge. Allow me to elaborate.

What I wanted to do was give out some of my original songs as prizes. The problem is that the songs aren't recorded due to a stupid computer issue. I won't go into the issue unless anyone is good with sound settings, headphone/mic jack ports, and the like. I want to get someone to take a look at my computer and see what's up, but until then, I have no music to give out.

I assure you that this will get done eventually. I didn't spend a bunch of money to buy recording software for nothing. It's just that I really want to start this Challenge for the sake of generating activity. Heck, I was even thinking about making both a Fan Art Challenge AND a Wallpaper Challenge with the same premises to give out my songs.

By the time the Challenges end, I hope I'll have something to give. I just don't want to give any empty promises. Should I say that prizes are TBD? Should I wait?

Update: First off, I can only make five consecutive posts, so I'm sorry I couldn't reply to everyone. ^^;

Secondly, most people advised that I should hold off, so I will. Last night, I put in a call to my brother's friend who does computer work professionally. I trust that he can do something to help me.

In the meantime, I'm trying to think of ways to promote this upcoming Challenge. Obviously, I can make a World post about it, but I'm trying to think of other things I can do. Suggestions are welcomed.

OC Theme Song Meme

Stolen from Kita's DA.

RULES
1. Pick a theme song for each of your OCs.
2. Tag as many people as you please.
3. Have fun doing it.

Note: Descriptions are optional. I'm just doing them 'cause I like to talk about my OCs.

Yeah, it had to be a Bon Jovi song. *Shot.* Still, this song really fits the character. She's lost, she's lonely, she needs reassurance. This song is the kind of thing she really needs.

Jon

I'm aware that this is a cover, but I still like this version. The reason I think it fits Jon is because of something in Destination that I haven't even written yet. Without spoiling that part, I'll just say that Keba starts to have a hard time trusting Jon.

Naomi

Woohoo! Official lyrics! Even though I haven't heard this song many times, I think the lyrics fit Naomi perfectly. The part about "nights when you're awake" really remind me of how the powers that she hates so much come out when she's sleeping. Then there's the message of, "Sure it's bad now, but there's hope." In fact, the only way it doesn't fit Naomi is the style of music.

Marshall

I keep repeating myself over and over with this one. I say this is the theme song for Survival Instincts itself, but I think it fits Marshall the most of the three of them. He's kind of a misfit in a cold world, and that's what I think the song conveys.

Dice

I can explain. Dice's REAL theme song is a spoiler (highlight for song:"Welcome to the Bottom" by Vertical Horizon, which you probably haven't heard of anyway), so I'm including the song where I got his name from. Sure, there's the whole thing with him seeing the word on a t-shirt that says "Roll the Dice", but that saying is actually another song that inspired his name...

I actually don't have individual theme songs for any of them. It's more like a soundtrack. Back when I wrote the original draft, my brother would often be playing the original "Starcraft", so I often associate the music with "Rebels". Yeah, that's how old this story is.

Taggin' time!
I tag neilly, toyotami kun, Judai Winchester, and anyone else who wants to do this.

Thanks for reading, everybody!
