Aniblogger Creations; will the real Jason Miao please stand up |
It's categorized as Commentary, meta anibloggery.
It's tagged over nine thousand things, including: dotq • ds • epic • faggerism • hatred • hinano • japes • jason • jeff lawson • jtfish • marmot • meganeshounen • miao diary • mike • night switch • pablo-kun • rule 14 • scottfry3 • sixten. What a slut.
At least it only has 25 comments and 4,396 views.
This may be a month late. This may be 54 chapters late. But better late than never. Who’s responsible for this not being “never?” That would be Author, who just posted a link to Miao Diary Chapter 2 Part 1. My first reaction… well, you all know me. An inexplicable urge to blow chunks, the inability to convey thoughts via words, and a never-before felt throbbing in my heart.
It’s at times like these that I wish my relationship with Jason were slightly less … violent. I’d like to talk to him about this, go over it with him, smooth things out… But ah well.
Once I got over the immediate reaction, I enjoyed Miao Diary quite a bit.
But I got to thinking—the Miao in Miao Diary is hardly the Miao I know. The Miao I know may be as flat, but he’s a dude, and doesn’t have ears or a tail. No 10% here. I also got to thinking—I’ve been writing about Miao since February. Sixten can’t touch this.
Night Switch
In February, I started writing a story—in small pieces—called “Night Switch.” It focuses on three “protagonists,” Jason, Joe, and Marin, and is about their interactions with each other and the country that they live in (2012 America).
Why Night Switch is better than Miao Diary
- it is not self-insert
- it is not wish fulfillment
- there is no gender-swapping
- it features more than two anibloggers/aniblog readers
- JTFish as Pedantic Dachshund
- Pablo-kun as Pablo
- scottfry3 as Scott F
- meganeshounen as Meg-Sho
- Jeff Lawson as Jeff
- mike as Physics Mike
- jpmeyer as JP
- DS as Dan S
- Hinano as Maria
- Marmot as the former director
- Jason Miao as Jason Meow
- and more to look forward to!
- Night Switch has more plot
- Night Switch has political satire
- Night Switch has a magical girl
- Night Switch has demons
- Night Switch has much hatred for Apple
- Night Switch has no moe
Why you should read Night Switch
Animebloggers, anime blog readers, you are some of the few people on this planet who will understand even 40% of Night Switch’s shitty inside joke-ridden content. If you don’t enjoy it, no one will!
Why Miao Diary should die
There are too many reasons to count, let alone list.
For now, accept that it’s simply a disgrace to everything innocent and pure in the aniblogosphere. Also, I hate Rule 14. CJ can attest to this. Can’t you, whore?
Want to be in Night Switch
If you’d like a character based on you in Night Switch, comment letting me know. I’ll make it happen. You might be a colleague of one of the main characters, or a cute mascot, or a turd. But you’ll feature if you ask kindly.
Whether it’s for the lulz, for great justice, or the result of a spinal reflex is up to you. DO IT.

See, you keep nagging me to read it, but there’s not even a character based on me.

Well, this is a pleasant(?) surprise.
Going to read it in a bit and wondering what my reaction would be.
Maybe “WTF”.

@Michael – yep
@mellow – yep
@jicystorm – yep
@meganeshounen – You’re just a side character for now. A moderator on Jason’s forums. Nothing too risqu√©.
@alar – fuck you

I’d love to be in it, but I’m afraid as to what you could possibly render me as.

I suppose I understand why she-who-must-not-be-named preferred watching anime to reading light novels. All that could be packed into 2 episodes and things still make sense. Although the reason why there’s no character named LK eludes me, I think this story has potential if you know how to properly build up to the climax. The story could escalate into a worldwide crisis, or ultimately just a bunch of anecdotes full of teen angst.
Ur right when saying not many will understand its in-jokes, but few of them are about anime anyway.
Was gonna say something hilarious about Miao Diary but a good hour of my life spent reading Night Switch has led to dissociative amnesia. Anyway,

@Zeroblade – I don’t know if I know you well enough to do anything too clever… I’d probably just ask you what your real name is, and name one of Jason’s colleagues after you.
@frankeinstein – who’s the “she-who-must-not-be-named” ? I’m kind of lost. There’s no LK character because the story isn’t self-insert… unless you’re referring to Lovely Kitsune, in which case you’re absolutely right and there needs to be one. And worldwide crisis is sort of what I’m building up to. Just. Slowly.

Hint: she’s the main character of a specific series voiced by a particular voice actress, both of which you’re just tsundere for.

I have to say, I can not agree with you in 100%, but it’s just my IMHO, which indeed could be very wrong.
p.s. You have an awesome template for your blog. Where did you find it?Replyautomotive jacks — 3/14/09 @ 4:26 am | #Link
