Heck yeah to both of those. I keep some of my longest attempts at personal writing handy to remind myself "hey, be proud of yourself, look at how productive you were as a kid, writing all this out with dreams of like, one day prepping for publication"... but also to embarrass myself into trying to improve a little bit every time I read it. And maaan, the first like, nine volumes of Negima were some of my favorite times in manga, and probably what inspired little me to take a stab at harem/open romance and eventually ERP. Like, my kingdom for the experience of getting to RP something inspired by a good Negima doujin or the like, :D.
All the girls were cool, even if the series couldn't give most of 'em enough love. Clearly, I'm on a bit of a Konoka kick, though, xD. One of the big itches I was looking to scratch when I joined was a chance to play a few games as kinky Konoka, but I was a bit nervous that I'd kinda come across as a huge dork fussing after some outdated manga. Community's been pretty cool though.
