kd7sov"1/0" was a rather bizarre webcomic. As TVTropes puts it, "no fourth wall" doesn't even begin to describe it. It explored issues of existence and story, mostly through the characters arguing with the cartoonist. A rather rare interest; twenty-one users.
"age of empires" refers to the Microsoft Games real-time strategy series. I do not, I admit, own AoE 3, but I have the main games and expansion packs of the other two. This is, apparently, a resonably common interest; 13 pages.
"age of mythology" is a spinoff of the Age of Empires series, dealing with the Trojan War era and the Atlantean people. Its major innovation is the "God powers", which represent divine intervention in the conflicts presented. It has an interesting take on the Odyssey, involving Odysseus getting routed up into Scandinavia and then to Atlantis at some point after the encounter with Circe. Not an uncommon interest; 6 pages.
"alchemy" is on my list because I like the idea of it. In an anthology edited by Denise Little, a character discusses how alchemy is not just the search for gold or immortality, but an understanding of the elements and the world; I always liked this explanation. I suspect a major reason I included it on the list is the Golden Sun games. Quite a common interest; 20 pages, which appears to be the most it'll show. (I suspect that every non-wiped character journal for Golden Sun or Full-Metal Alchemist, among others, has this one.)
"avalon code" is a quite charming game for the Nintendo DS, released this May, if I recall correctly. It has a few inconveniences - the major control interface has to be paged through, one entry at a time, for instance - but overall it's quite fun. It feels very much like a cross between a Harvest Moon game and a Final Fantasy game. An uncommon interest; fifteen users, three communities.
"ben bova" is the author of several science fiction novels, which he has recently been trying to retcon into a single universe. I'm considering removing him from the list, actually; his books no longer fascinate me the way they used to. Farely uncommon; 2 pages.
"book of mormon" is the book that sets the LDS church apart from all the rest. It's a volume of scripture separate from the Bible, recounting the Lord's dealing's with one of the "other sheep" mentioned in the New Testament - the descendants of a family that left Jerusalem shortly before the Babylonian Captivity began. Not a terribly common interest; 5 pages, with some of the most agreeable default icons I've seen.
"breaking the wall" is, at least in my perspective, a book series by Jane Lindskold, dealing with Chinese mysticism, history, and philosophy. I suspect, however, that others take it to mean something rather different, since - if nothing else - not one of the other interested journals lists "jane lindskold". Quite an uncommon interest; five users.
"broadway" is, technically, a street in New York. Colloquially, though, it refers to musical theater, and it is in this sense that it is on my list. I adore musicals. This will come up again. A right common interest; 20 pages.
"canon" is there because I like getting stuff right. My domain, as I thought the other day, is knowledge, and the canonical account - of whatever - is a good starting point for knowledge. Also a common interest; 20 pages.
"carol berg" is an author I picked up entirely on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
limyaael's recommendation. I do not recall what about her review of Transformation interested me, but as a result I have gone on to read everything Ms. Berg has published. An interest less common than I'd like; 2 pages.
"castle in the sky" is an anime from Studio Ghibli. It is my favorite, of those I've seen, by a narrow margin and only because of the Dola Gang - a batch of highly comedic sky pirates. A decently common interest; 11 pages.
"cats" was probably among the first interests I put on the list. Ever since I was about six years old there's been at least one cat living with us. (Always, for some reason, "fixed" black males.) A fiendishly common interest; 20 pages.
By "cecil" I refer to Cecil Harvey, protagonist of Final Fantasy IV. I suspect that there may be other Cecils in people's minds when they add this interest, particularly considering the number of Final Fantasy X communities that show up. Between this and the synonymous "cecil harvey" there are 3 or 4 pages.
"charles de lint" is an author of what is termed "Urban fantasy", which I describe as fantasy that has developed along with the world. So, for instance, you get fairies made out of leaves being replaced by fairies made out of circuit boards. An interest more common than I expected; 20 pages.
"classical elements" is one way of referring to what some people think of as the magic/fantasy elements - earth, air, water, fire. A startlingly rare interest; two users.
"classical music", on the other hand, is rather more widely understood, if more subjective. As expected, a common interest; 20 pages.
"crossgen comics" is a rather little-known comics company I rather like. Unfortunately, they went out of business around the time I found out about them. The majority of their lines centered around "the Sigil", a powerful symbol that looks a little like a yin-yang. Not a very common interest; probably three pages, including the "crossgen" interest.
"denise little" is an editor of short story anthologies, usually of fantasy. I first encountered her through the Sorcerer's Academy anthology, mentioned above, and have since come to notice and recognize the name elsewhere. Most of the anthologies I read are edited by either her or Martin H. Greenburg, and I find I tend to prefer Ms. Little's taste in stories. Quite a rare interest; two users.
"diana wynne jones", as some of you may be aware, is a fantasy author. She's probably most famous for the Chrestomancy series, which I haven't read. A right common interest; 20 pages.
"discworld" I suspect you've heard of. It's a round, flat planet on a set of elephants on a turtle? Or possibly a tortoise? No? Well. Ask around, I'm sure you'll find someone to initiate you. This is one of several canons for which I can trace my introduction to Milliways. An unsurprisingly common interest; 20 pages.
"elizabeth moon" is an author. Mostly of science fiction, but I encountered her through her fantasy trilogy, The Deed of Paksenarrion. I quite like the way she builds worlds and characters. A fairly uncommon interest; 4 pages.
"eponine" is a character from Les Misérables; there are plenty of sources to find out more about her. Not as common an interest as I'd expect; 4 or 5 pages, including the results from "eponine thenardier".
"fantine" is another character from the same source. She, curiously, appears to be listed by more communities but fewer users. Or perhaps most of the same communities, but fewer users. In any case, a rather rare interest; 2 pages.
"faris" is from Final Fantasy V. She's a pirate captain who's also a princess, and has lived most of her life thinking of herself as a man so as not to compromise her disguise. A fairly rare interest, understandable since there was no legitimate English translation for several years; forty users, thirty-six communities. (An unusual balance, that.)
"felix" is... Well. Odds are, if you're reading my LJ, you know me through Felix, at least to some extent. It appears there's also some Felix in the Twilight books, but he must not be important. A decent list of interesteds; 7 pages.
"final fantasy" is a video game series. Or some such; there's not really much sequence or connection between most of them. To the best of my knowledge, of the main-line games, only IV, VII, and X have sequels. VII seems to be the most popular, by a significant margin, but I have no idea why. An insanely common interest; 20 pages.
"final fantasy iv" and "final fantasy v" are, as you might expect, entries in said series. I have, at this point, played some sample of each of I through VI, and those two are my favorites. Rather common interests; 10-15 pages and 6-10 pages, respectively.
"firekeeper" - or, more properly, the Firekeeper Saga - is another Jane Lindskold series. This one examines the Raised by Wolves trope, and how such a person might integrate herself into a reasonably normal human society. A rather rare interest; eighteen users, one community.
"gavroche" is another Les Mis character. Indeed, he's Eponine's brother. Curiously, he seems to be an even rarer interest than his canonmates; fifty-four users, twenty-two communities.
"girl genius" is a webcomic of, as the creators phrase it, "Adventure, Romance, and Mad Science!" It's another canon I encountered as a direct result of Milliways. Decently common; 11 pages.
"golden sun" is... Well. If you've gotten this far without some idea of Golden Sun, I suggest you head here. Or here. Or maybe here. Or, better yet, all three. Then we can talk. A startlingly common interest, considering various things; 16 pages.
"golden sun ds" is the third Golden Sun installment. Announced June 2, 2009 at E3, with little or no word since. I am astonished at how rare this interest is; one user. The equivalent interest "golden sun 3" has none.
"gordon b hinckley" was the previous president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He was a wonderful speaker and a great man. Including reasonable properly-spelled variations, this is a fairly uncommon interest; probably 2 pages.
"harvest moon" is a series of farm simulation video games. They're really much more fun than that makes them sound. Most Harvest Moon games have two basic aspects - improving your farm and making friends, eventually leading to marriage. Many allow you to have a child after this, and some have other goals - for instance, the upcoming Sunshine Islands apparently involves reclaiming sunken islands. A common enough interest; 20 pages.
"imperial japanese mounted police" is a right silly interest. I believe it comes from one ofcamwyn's entries, although I no longer recall the context. It is, naturally, a samurai version of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. A rare interest; three users.
"iroh" isthe star the most interesting and awesome character in Avatar: The Last Airbender. At least overall; Aang is, very occasionally, more awesome in an individual event, but on average Iroh wins. A surprisingly uncommon interest, considering that most Avatar character journals probably have it; 5 pages.
"irregular webcomic" is... Well. I don't really think I can do it justice. A mostly-LEGO photowebcomic made bydmmaus, that looks at concepts in science, history, role-playing tropes, language, popular music... The list goes on. A startlingly uncommon interest; eighty-four users, one community.
"jane lindskold" is an author I've mentioned once or twice before in this post. She writes fantasy, with an interesting take. I advise that you visit your local library to find out more. A fairly rare interest; 2 pages.
"jean valjean" is the protagonist of Les Mis. Another unusually uncommon interest; 2 pages.
"kain" is Kain Highwind,baron_dragoon. He's Cecil's friend and rival from Final Fantasy IV. A decently common interest; 6 or 7 pages.
"les miserables" is a classic novel, often considered one of the best written in the nineteenth century. It's also a fairly well-known musical, and several movies. I've even heard someone might be making a video game of it. A common sort of interest; 20rupeespages.
"luna lovegood" is an incredibly lovable character from the Harry Potter books and movies. A right common interest; 20 pages.
"mars" is the fourth planet in this solar system. It's named for the Roman god of war. It is, probably, one of the most terraformable bodies we can get to easily enough; see the next couple of interests. Rather common, in whatever sense people put it on their lists; 20 pages.
"mars colonization" is the idea of settling humans on Mars. Not an implausible idea, and one that has been explored in a number of times, places, and ways. A fairly rare interest; seventeen users, two communities.
"mars direct" is a particular program for colonizing or exploring Mars, developed by Robert Zubrin. It involves, basically, aiming a spaceship from Earth surface so that it will reach Mars, and not dealing with orbital assemblies and such. A pitifully rare interest; three users.
"mars exploration" is, quite simply, the exploration of the planet Mars, often with the search for indigenous life in mind. A rare interest; twenty users, one community.
"minish cap" is one of the recent titles in the Legend of Zelda video game series. Developed for the Game Boy Advance, its major duality gimmick involves becoming the size of a mouse. This is the first Zelda game I completed. A rare enough interest; thirty-seven users, seven communities.
"musicals" are a thematic descendant of operas; they're plays containing a goodly quantity of songs. Most of the music with which I'm familiar is from one musical or another. A common interest; 20 pages.
"narbonic" is a webcomic that concerns itself with a mad scientist and her henchmen, mostly. It has, really, startlingly few major characters for something that ran for over six years. A rare sort of interest; 2 pages.
"order of the stick" is another webcomic, this one set in a Dungeons & Dragons world. The characters, oddly enough, are aware that their setting is both a comic strip and a game world. A fairly common interest; 11 pages.
"pakesnarrion" is the title character of Elizabeth Moon's Deed of Paksenarrion series. She's a fascinating look at how a D&D paladin would actually be. A rather rare interest; twenty-four users, one community.
"phantom hourglass" is one of the most recent Zelda titles. It's for the DS, and is one of the few Zeldas that is a direct sequel to another, with the same characters and all. A rare enough interest; fifty-six users, thirteen communities.
"ppc" is, arguably, the second-most-direct reason I'm here now. I won't delve into my whole internet history again here, but it was through the PPC that I discovered Milliways, and through Milliways that I discovered Livejournal. The PPC is s fictional organization dedicated to hunting down bad-fanfiction influences, such as mary-sues or implausible crossovers, and eliminating them. A somewhat more common interest than I expected; 6 pages.
"robert zubrin" is an author and scientist - or maybe engineer? I forget - who is heavily involved in the colonization and exploration of Mars. A sadly rare interest; eleven users.
"rune factory" is a spinoff of the Harvest Moon games, combining farming and interaction with Zelda-like combat and adventure. An unusual interest; 2 pages.
"rune factory 2" is the second Rune Factory game. It's not precisely a sequel, although one character does return, noticeably older. I find the interface in RF2 easier to use than the original's. A rare interest; eight users, one community.
"rydia" is an incredibly cute and awesome character in Final Fantasy IV. Her story's a bit too complicated to go into here. A reasonably uncommon interest; 4 pages.
"splitting linguistic hairs" is an interest I added from the unusual interests DE over at Milliways. It amuses me that all of my fellow interesteds are fictional characters. A rare interest; four users.
"stargirl" is the title character of a pair of books by Jerry Spinelli, who has a very interesting view of life, one I quite like. Oh, I wouldn't want to be her, but that is only right and proper; one person to an identity, thank you. A rather common interest; 11 pages.
"studio ghibli" is the only anime studio I have any interest in. I was introduced to them by the old My Neighbor Totoro dub many years ago. A common interest; 20 pages.
"sutton foster" is probably most famous as a Broadway actress. I have become rather enamored of her voice. A decently common interest; 9 pages.
"thaumic theory" is something I added on a whim. One thing I quite like to do is sit down and figure out how a particular magic system should work. I'm actually surprised that this one is a unique interest. Less so its counterpart, a few interests down the line.
"the legend of zelda" is, as some of you may be aware, a series of video games. I don't really know that more needs to be said. A common interest; 20 pages.
"thomas s monson" is the current president of the Church. He's often got amusing stories to tell, and he relates them quite well to gospel principles. An unnervingly rare interest; two users, with none on any of the variations I could come up with.
"transuniversal thaumic theory" is, quite simply, comparative magic. I suspect, at some point, I'll add this tovenusadept_2's interests, but for now it's only mine.
"waltzes" are, as some of you surely know, a type of dance involving a three-beat pattern. Not much to say here, except that someone else on the list is using the same default icon as I am. An unusual interest; 3 pages.
"young wizards" is what you might call a modern science fantasy series. It involves wizardry, but said wizardry is as firmly based in science as most good sci-fi. A rather unusual interest; 4 pages.
It's quite interesting to notice which journals I recognize on which interest lists, and where from. It's particularly interesting to see which people share several of my interests without my having encountered them anywhere on LJ.
One of these days I want to find out what sorting algorithm LJ uses for the entries on the interest lists.
"age of empires" refers to the Microsoft Games real-time strategy series. I do not, I admit, own AoE 3, but I have the main games and expansion packs of the other two. This is, apparently, a resonably common interest; 13 pages.

"thomas s monson" is the current president of the Church. He's often got amusing stories to tell, and he relates them quite well to gospel principles. An unnervingly rare interest; two users, with none on any of the variations I could come up with.
"transuniversal thaumic theory" is, quite simply, comparative magic. I suspect, at some point, I'll add this to
venusadept_2's interests, but for now it's only mine."waltzes" are, as some of you surely know, a type of dance involving a three-beat pattern. Not much to say here, except that someone else on the list is using the same default icon as I am. An unusual interest; 3 pages.
"young wizards" is what you might call a modern science fantasy series. It involves wizardry, but said wizardry is as firmly based in science as most good sci-fi. A rather unusual interest; 4 pages.
It's quite interesting to notice which journals I recognize on which interest lists, and where from. It's particularly interesting to see which people share several of my interests without my having encountered them anywhere on LJ.
One of these days I want to find out what sorting algorithm LJ uses for the entries on the interest lists.
