Want fluff. Want it now. Losing pronouns in reversion to wailing baby with toothache.

Have been making use of yasminm's excellent IRC tutorial, but still find entire thing wasteland of confusion and misdirection. Stumble upon Fruits Basket, but no--timeout, queues, delusion or possibly mirage. So sad.

Also, convinced am unknowingly breaking rules and mortally offending channel denizens every other second. V. depressing.

Had root canal this morning. Feel deserving of fluff.

Which is to say, if any of you should just so happen to have scanlations of Fruits Basket after volume 6, Hana-Kimi after volume 3, or W Juliet after volume 1, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could send them my way.

*g* I know. It's just me being an obsessive-compulsive over-achiever again.

The technology isn't that difficult to figure out, given a certain value of "figuring out". Mostly it's just a matter of working out how to stay on IRC without getting the dreaded "timed out" messages, and what all those weird commands actually do.

The impression I get is that most scanlators and digisubbers assume that fans who want to download from them are as IRC- and tech-savvy as they are, especially given that IRC's been around for a very long time (it's also the safest way to distribute copyrighted material, because IRC is relatively underpoliced). So when they do write up tutorials, of course these tutorials are more confusing than helpful. >_>
