>>13204553I do read actual books, but yes, rather than watching the anime, which is geared toward little kids, I enjoy reading things that do take a bit of something that I'm interested in, and try to take a more realistic/mature look at the subject matter.
As for getting educated, I am currently pursuing my masters degree in Japanese Language at FSU in Tallahassee.
Not all fanfiction are terribly autistic lemons, in fact, some of them that are based in the Pokemon universe are quite good. I for one like the Poke wars series by Cornova, as well as the extended 'canon' of that series which is written by other authors such as NobodiesHiiro, Janus366, Kuroi-Uyoku, and JanTanner.
