Right. So, first of all: I don't actually know this person. One of you does, because I found this post by surfing my friendsfriends list. But I think this is something everyone should read, so I'm reposting. This person is apparently in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

I know I do a lot of linkblogging, but this is serious business so please do take the time to read.

If you can donate, donate. Everyone needs everything. Food, can openers, shoes, clothes, bedding, toiletries. No one has anything. I keep saying this, but it doesn't get it across. There is nothing outside my front door anymore.

Okay. Remember when Queensland and Brazil were flooding and I was like, "What the hell? Why do we have a help_queensland? Australia is a first world country and they have the luxury of being able to help themselves. Help Brazil instead." Well, now it is our turn. We are a first world country; we can help ourselves. So let's get on that, yeah? Every little bit seriously does help, so even if it's only five bucks it's worth it to throw it at this problem. I'd suggest donating to the American Red Cross--they help with disasters all over the country (as well as providing a number of other services), but if you want to you can earmark your donation for disaster relief. Also, blood donations are really necessary at a time like this--hospitals go through a lot of blood when coping with something on this scale, and will need to replenish their supplies. So even if you don't have the cash to spare, you can always donate some blood.

This has been a terrible spring so far, and there's only so much we can do to prevent disasters like this, but that doesn't mean there's nothing we can do to help with the clean up afterwards.

This post is public, so please share it around.

Which shall consist of a series of links, including one to The Big Wild Adapter Pimping Post written by myth720 because I am too lazy to write my own summary and character profiles. XD

So first of all, what is this "Wild Adapter" thing you speak of?
The Big Wild Adapter Pimping Post

That's nice. Now what?
Go to Emeraldeyes.net. Emeraldeyes is a scanlation group that does a fantastic job! And they have the first two volumes of Wild Adapter completed, and I'm sure are working on the third even as we speak. (You can also find the first couple chapters of Araiso Private High School Student Council Executive Committee, the ultimate high school AU! Based on Wild Adapter, and done by Minekura herself!)

Wow! This is really good! But is this all there is?
Well, that's all that's available scanlated. But if you buzz on over to Aestheticism.com you can find text translations of the first three volumes of Wild Adapter (and the second volume of Executive Committee). And once you're done with that, monkeybarrel was kind enough to provide summaries of all the chapters that appear in volume four. And that's all. But as soon as I find a reliable place to get translations or summaries of the current chapters being released in Chara magazine I'll edit this post to include it.

[Edit] herchuckness has kindly allowed me to link you directly to her Wild Adapter scans! So leech away!

Right. So, now what have you got for me?
Well, now that you've been steeped in the canon it's time for--you guessed it--fanfiction. Wild Adapter is a pretty small fandom, but there are some amazing fics available for it. So here we go! ( This could take a while.Collapse )

So I hope we've all enjoyed this little trip through All Things Wild Adapter. The only thing I haven't linked for you is the drama CDs, and I'm not going to link those because my connection is so slow and crappy, we would all die of old age before the first one finished uploading, let alone the second and third ones. Which is a shame, really, because WA drama CDs are the world's most perfect bit of casting. Morikawa Toshiyuki IS Kubota and Hideo Ishikawa IS Tokitoh, and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

For the record, I started this at 8:15 am. It is now 11:33 am. Yes, it really took me that long to compile all these links. So you better appreciate it! XD
