Hey, I mentioned this in another topic but I'm current really into Touhou Walfas videos, especially this series called Diamond in the Rough.
A great Walfas series though that is both funny, awesome, tear jerking, and horrifying at times (major enphasis on the last two) is this series called Diamond in the Rough. It is a series that deconstructs these sets of fanfics called Gappy Sue fics, where an outsider is gapped into Gensokyo by the border demon Yukari, and basically what follows is bullshit wish fulfillment. One of the goals of this series is to show, that this would not happen AT ALL. Here is a synopsis of the story from TV Tropes and a video which features the playlist of the released episodes so far.
"The story so far: Brolli Diamondback is going to be killed by the rather passionate celestial Tenshi Hinanawi. Flash back to three months ago to learn he is a normal, if shallow and selfish, high school student, interested in the strange noises everyone's been hearing and the numerous disappearances around the school. Brolli gets an up-close look at where the noise is coming from: the border demon Yukari Yakumo, who offers him a trip to the land of Gensokyo so he can unlock limitless power. With nothing to lose (even though he had a decent life back home), he embarks on a quest to become the most powerful being in Gensokyo. Needless to say, it does not end well."
Here is also the first episode.
Anyway, this topic also for discussing other Walfas and Touhou fanworks, whether it be music, games, anything Touhou.
