'Manga murder' fanfic

Submitted by nele on Thu, 2008-10-09 16:48

Videos and pieces of fanart and forum discussions about the so-called 'manga murder' are all very interesting, in an academic sort of way. But this piece of manga murder fan fiction takes the cake. It even has random Dutch words strewn in. I love it :)

Now saving books in Diigo as well

In the two years we've been working on a bibliography of manga studies, we've always saved books in LibraryThing and articles and other online material using social bookmarking services (first Furl, now Diigo). We never found a single service that could handle both books and articles/random online stuff the way we wanted it to.

We've been shifting the LM online archive of academic articles and interesting non-academic manga tidbits from Furl to Diigo for the past several months, and it just occurred to me that this was never properly acknowledged on the blog. Diigo is a fairly new service which has been evolving along with our reasons for first trying it out, meaning that the whole story has gotten rather too convulted to recount in its entirety by now.

Manga murder discussion goes on, also on Youtube

And here I was thinking I was keeping up reasonably well with what people were saying about the 'manga murder' case online. (For those who haven't been following this blog or aren't much into manga/anime, the 'manga murder' refers to the still-unsolved discovery of body parts in a Belgium park that were accompanied by notes referencing the manga 'Death Note'.
