Right. Read the first Vampire Hunter D novel translation. Very stylistic, but not bad. Need to rewatch the first movie now, I think.

Writing for the night has shut down at 2,679 words for the day. One more day's work and I'll clear chapter twelve, I think. Chapter twelve is the Chapter of Weird Sh*t. Officially. So far it has had banana slugs, tofu, lizard and rattlesnake meat, eating raw, live fish, and wolves. Wolves the size of large horses. At least seventeen hands at the shoulder. A whole pack of them. Oh, and a ring-tail cat. And humming spiders, but that's another matter. I'm having great fun, can't you tell? And it's after midnight, so I am getting me a drink of water and tucking myself into bed and falling unconscious. 'night, y'all.

It's an interesting translation, isn't it? A very different style to English fantasy type books, even vampire ones. I like it too, and the 2nd, although I could do with less of the paragraphs describing in multiple, complex terms just how wonderful D is ;)

I read the initial paragraph describing D to Douglas and his immediate reaction was "He's a Mary Sue!" which, I think, is pretty dead on. ^_^

Yes. I don't think I've ever come across an author who likes his main character more. Despite that, I still enjoyed it, so it can't be all bad :)
