pullip_parade is dying. The LJ version, anyway. That sort of sucks. It wasn't everyone's idea of a good time, but with a few special exceptions, none of the um... little crop up versions [I'd say copies, but they aren't.] ever really screamed successor to the throne. Hell, much as I liked the idea behind one of the two pimped out in the "ugh, ugh, we're dying" post, it's been dead for awhile. *shrug* I'm hoping it'll sort of turn out like when CB went down one of it's more spectacular deaths and other boards kind of popped to the surface to say, "Hey, you don't like how CB's been treating you? Well, we may be evil, but we'll offer you -this- that they can't."
And thus the fandom split, pretty much. What seemed to be a fairly obsessive love affair then fizzled out for some. It got worse in others, but there was much fizzling. I want the fizzle to happen a smidge so I don't have to wait 48 hours to find out if I made it under the wire on a preorder, man.
*shrug* Of course the best thing about this,other than the hope for enough fizzle of people who were just contemplating [no sense in having people who supply your crack fizzle, you see] is the hope that you'll gravitate towards a completely different group than the people you began to want to hit upside the head with the business end of a hammer.
Onward [but not upward]! I finished Alosha and... weird. Story goes as follows, Alison [call her Ali until the last quarter of the book] goes off to the forest to protest the loggers doing their job. She gets busted, told to go home, and decides to take the scenic route to do exactly what she planned on doing. Only along the way, she's attacked and nearly killed. But not by anything human. Dun dun dun! So she gathers the required best friend girl type, the best friend boy type [who has the hots for her, naturally], and the love interest, and they embark on a journey to save the world, because a tree spoke to her. Only there's a traitor and a big secret on who Ali actually is.
Did I mention these kids are 13? Yeah. If you readums the Pike, your brain kind of ages them because with the possible exception of Cindy [girl type best friend] none of these kids act 13. *shrug* Good stuff, but I'm now pissed that the next book isn't out yet. :p
*curls up*
