Focus on a Fan: MelMat from MangaBullet!

4/11/2014

As part of this blog, I promised to highlight those Death Note fans who scattered when MangaBullet went down.
Welcome to our monthly Focus on a Fan feature!

The rest of this entry is given over to, and penned by, Melmat! 


I've tried so hard to forget about you, to leave you and move onto something newer. But I can't- I'm in love with you! Yes Death Note, I'm talking to you. You come in here flaunting your charms in a cat and mouse game; then hit me where it hurts, your irresistible characters. Yeah, you got me good this time. I hate you! (screams) I hate you!

I love you!

(Inhales, then exhales slowly) Okay, all better now.

But in reality, it's true. Oh, I have tried numerous times in the past few years to write for different fandoms. Ones that I adore- Attack on Titan, Free!, Kuroko no Basketball and so many more. Damn you, Death Note for holding my heart so tightly.

The Battle Within

I am a writer, not a cosplayer. They were done as a homage of sorts for me, because Mello has been such intricate part of my life; in ways I can't begin to explain. The pictures were taken by MihaelJKeehl and the rosary was sent to me from Poland by non other than my chaos twin, TrishKeehl. I tweaked the color to add more focus to the scar. I liked the result. It wasn't bad for a first timer. (laughs)

“You got to lose,
to know how to win...”
This lyric reminds me of Mello. He knew who Kira was!

He freaking knew! And he died proving he was right!!

Oh, Mello (sighs)
When I'm not in a Death Note coma as I like to call my alternate reality, I enjoy hanging out with my family, reading, watching movies and music. My favorite thing though, is concerts! I'm addicted to them. And oh my God; September 2013, I got to see HIM live. Yes, after eleven years of waiting; it finally happened! Little did I know I would get another opportunity six months later. (laughs) It was heavenly!

Nowadays, I spend my time talking to my Shini (aka my MattyMatt), writing and balancing being a parent. I'm a rockstar, babyyy!

I have plans on going back to school or at least taking some classes to help me further my writing. I've been working on a few fan fictions but I really want to start on my original ideas. Maybe in the next year or so?

Not much else has been going on as of late. Though I can say, I am disappointed that my Shini has not moved here yet, but I guess that's life. Stuff happens! Right? Oh yeah, my kid will be going off to college in two years. I know it's still a ways off but not to me. I mean, one day she is heading off to kindergarten and the next, a sophomore in high school.

Umm...wow. (shakes head)

I just realized my life is not remotely interesting. I'm rather boring. (Laughs) Totally not cool.

(Annoyed growl) Okay guys, I can feel my A.D.D creeping up on me as my focus on this has drifted in other directions.

So with that; I will now end this, leaving you with one of my most favorite songs. Ciao!

  • Archives of Our Own: MelMat

* I would like to publicly apologize to MRS-Jeevas. She had approached me back in mid-May about doing this and at that point things were not going good for me in the writing department. There were more failed attempts at this than I care to count. And, for that - Madam, I am deeply sorry.

* No prob! And no apologies necessary. Less than three, MelMat.

If you'd like to feature in Focus on a Fan, then please let me know via the contact form on this site. It would be great to know where we can find the old gang!
