I keep meaning to do a bit more with this blog but life is pretty hectic right now. But for something fun to do, you can head on over to the DC Nation Animated Shorts page and vote for Amethyst as often as you would like to.

4th Amethyst Short and Sword of Sorcery Cancellation

Anna — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 04:03:35 +0000

I find Prince Topaz’s characterization in this short amusing:

Sword of Sorcery‘s cancellation was recently announced. I can’t say I’m particularly surprised, as I’ve heard that the sales on the title were not good. I wonder if it would have done better at a lower price point without being split into a shorter main [...]

Anna — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 05:14:44 +0000

Well, it took me a bit to get all the metadata in my Goodreads account in order to get some decent numbers but I fixed the issues. The irony of a librarian having insufficient Goodreads metadata is not lost on me. So, for 2012, I read 167 total volumes counting both books and manga/graphic novels. [...]

First Amethyst Short

Anna — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 04:05:52 +0000

This is just as cute, adorable, and Gemworldish as I was hoping. I’m going to just pretend that the Sword of Sorcery comic isn’t really happening, because if Amethyst had to be rebooted, Magical Girl Amethyst seems so much closer to the spirit of the original series.

Also, so enjoyed seeing mini video [...]
