All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

That was awesome, thanks for posting that Ook.  Very funny.
"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"

Ha ha ha ha!

On a related note, have you noticed that some writers aren't so hot at reading out loud? I got the audiobook of Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce (which is done by Full Cast Audio, so each character is done by a different actor) and the whole time I was thinking, "Man, this narrator is kind of painful to listen to," and then at the end when they did the credits I realized the narrator was Tamora Pierce. Whoops.

I had that experience with Isaac Asimov.

I believe the mystery guy is Brandon's agent, Joshua Bilmes?

Very campy, but definitely was fun at the end =).
