    • Over the past 48 hours 4chan's formspring page has gotten over 12,000 questions, and I've received over 3,000 e-mails. Many thanks to everyone who submitted a question, and sent me a message! I was able to respond to a few hundred e-mails and had hoped to start answering questions on formspring, but it seems that the number of questions broke the page. Once that's sorted out, I'll sift through them and answer as time allows.
    Thanks again for all of the support!

    In other news, /rs/ now processes MediaFire/MegaUpload/and a bunch of other links correctly (this had been broken for months). The old links should be updated in about a week (the checker is taking a while).
    Thanks to Popcorn Mariachi for spontaneously appearing and fixing this.

    Final reminder: Ask questions here, e-mail me here (I read *every* one), and follow 4chan on the Twitter here.

    ITT -- Classical literature that needs an anime adaptation, and how you would like to see it done.

    I want to kiss the dude who came up with The Count of Monte Cristo + monsters in space = Gankutsuou

    If it were done well, it'd have to be Lloyd Alexander's Book of Three series.

    Crime & Punishment needs to be adapted somehow. It's perfect for the medium, although I guess the setting would have to be different. Maybe make it Meiji era Japan instead of Russia?

    Not really literature, but I would love a series based on Greek Mythology. Maybe an OVA per story or something? Shit is so weird -- the Japanese would love it.

    but instead of a whale Moby dick is a :

    A) Ghost space Ship with an AI set to fire at everyone's shit!

    B) a Genetically engineered creature that goes bad ass and stuff, and Ahab had his body reconstructed as a part cyborg to fight it after his original body got torn apart....

    I thought the main part they stole from it was man returns home to take revenge on those who wronged him, using the main character in the process.
