I do enjoy these threads.
Early 2007. on Desuchan, see Marisa Stole the Precious Thing re-characterization of Suigintou and Shinku for Alice and Marisa, look into this IOSYS band, see all their credits to this ZUN person. For whatever reason it took me until 2008 to play the trial of MoF, and was at once fascinated and confused. Fell into a Touhou wikihole, which led me to Poosh, and then here shortly thereafter. By then, my love of the Gensokyo narrative has grown, and the games continue to surprise me. It is vital, varied, and continuously enjoyable to be a part of this fandom.
