Tears of Amber: Unmasking the Phantom
  Shin: *screeches* 'From The Heart'?!! HOW COULD YOU?!!
Lynn: Don't exaggerate! It's a nice title!
Shin: It's a cheesy title, and you know it >.<
Lynn: ...yeah...but I like it ^.^ So there! *pftttttttthbs the talking clam*
Shin: But it's my noticeboard! ;_;
Lynn: So?
Shin: *whines* Tomo-samaaaaaaaaaaaaa! She's being mean again!
Lynn: *baps Shin* :P
Shin: ;_______________;

Noticeboards are where you pin things up, right? So we're gonna pin things up here! ^_^ Preferably Tomo-related, but anything FY will do.

I've always had a love for any essays that had to do about my favourite characters, because they offer insight into another person's opinion of that character and it's always interesting to read another person's opinion; and so I decided to make a special section for them just for your reading pleasure! *sparkles*

Anyone is welcomed to send in their essay/freetalk/etc. It doesn't have to be long, just something on your opinions or ideas or whatever. Like I said, preferably keep it FY or Tomo-related, but hey, I'd accept FY-fandom related essays here too ^_^ Just follow the one simple rule I've set up, and then send it to me here!

Submission Rule: (note the lack of 's' in the word 'rule' ^^;;) No blatant character/fanfic/etc. bashing, please. State your opinions in a polite, mature manner, because no matter what age you are, you should always be polite, be it in your daily lives; or on the Web.

ESSAYS
Tomo Essay by Aeanagwen
Like him? Read it. Don't like him? Definitely read it! A-chan writes on what Tomo's past may have been like, and why he is the way he is now...she has facts to back up her belief too! An awesome essay (nope, no biased fans here *grins*) and I found that her beliefs and my own run on a similarly same line.

Some Reasonings From A Suboshi Fan by Jixie
Wondering why we Suboshi fans like who we do? And no, it's NOT because we're psychotic! *is an avid Subo-chan fan herself* ...hmm, okay. Maybe I'm an exception :P Jixie has factual, canon evidence on The Incident too, so don't judge Suboshi too harshly yet!

NEW! Tomo by Tipan Kalima
A mini Tomo essay by a Tomo fan, but this time it tells why Tomo is Tipan-san's favourite character ^_^ Short, but straight to the point. Also, please note that Tipan-san is Spanish, and thus isn't too fluent in English ^^;;

Kitsune-Lynn desu! *wiggles kitsune ears happily*

The above picture of Kitsune-Lynn was painstakingly editted, coloured and certain parts redrawn (such as the hair, ears, etc.) by me, Lynn Utsukushii. Thus, it belongs to me! ^o^ Please don't nab it, though for what reason you'd want to I could never imagine, but please don't nab it anyway! I stayed up until 3.30am just to finish this!

The original manga scan however, was of Sakoshita Yanagi from the anime/manga series, Rekka no Honoo, and I had graciously nabbed it from Bottou-chan's Flame of Recca Museum ^_^;; ...with permission, mind you. So arigatou, Bottou-chan! Click here for the original picture *grins*
Fushigi Yuugi (and Tomo) belong to Watase Yuu, Studio Pierrot and a bunch of other people I've no idea about. But it's definitely not mine. Tears of Amber (c) Lynn Utsukushii (aka Ryo Chuin no Miko) 2000.

CREDITS: Biggest thanks to Gerald-sama of The Four Gods Sky and Earth for the invaluable JavaScript tips! *sparkles* Also, all Tomo manga scans were originally scanned in by Tomo no Miko of Tomo no Miko's Fushigi Yuugi Site (unless noted otherwise), and coloured & editted by me, Lynn. Arigatou, Felicia-dono! *glomps*
