soc_puppet | Okazu Marimite write-up links

So, today I was woken up at roughly ten fifteen so I could get dressed and go to church. Having only given up the goat yesterday at around three a.m. (and then consequently been unable to sleep until five =_=) I rolled over and tried to catch a few more winks before I really had to go to church at a quarter 'til. Actually managed it for the most part.

Went out to Village Inn for lunch after. Would've prefered Hamburg Inn, but it was closed. Not that I blame them. Saw an eagle catching a fish while crossing the river on the way; all agreed it was a good omen for the new year.

Ate lunch, came back home. Spent the afternoon and evening not working on New Year's obligations, as I'd said I would, but instead looking up all of Okazu's entries on Maria-sama ga Miteru ~~because no one else on my f'list cares about it and I am lonely ;_; (which is, of course, why I'm glad I have CFUD)~~. Take pity on me as I am braindead and not yet a week late. (Though one of you should be really thoughtful and bug me to update Communications about now, thanks ^_^)

You can now bear witness to the fruits of my labors. Behold, the Okazu Marimite posts, linked and labeled for clarity! Plus, a few quotes as a bonus.

Some quotes:

[I]f you can find it, there's a wonderful screencap from the Ace wo Nerae movie, as Hiromi and Ochoufujin head off to America together (a code in itself, really, as America is always seen in lesbian fiction as the place to escape to to
be together.)

This week's brainstorm:

After much thought on the subject, I have now developed a working definition for "porn" versus "erotica" that I'd like to share with you all. There's quite a few people who think that there is no difference, but I believe there is:

Porn is any representation of sexual conduct with the implicit acknowledgement of a third party who is watching - and for whose pleasure the sexual act is being conducted.

Erotica is an honest representation of sexual conduct between people for their own pleasure.

I came to this conclusion while reading several yuri doujinshi I own. If you agree with it, please feel free to use it. If you disagree, feel free to come up with one of your own. :-)
