No comments on the Republican bit, but Kyou/Tohru is pretty much not-mocked, seeing as it looks to be Takaya-sensei's preference.
Most people don't comment. I do have an amusing anecdote I like to tell about an ex-room-mate who thought all Republicans were agents of Satan. By and large, people who know me will tell you I'm remarkably open-minded for an elephant. ;) (We're not all narrow-minded, Bible-brandishing loudmouths.)
I've found that Tohru/Yuki seems to be the fan-preference. Maybe that's changing.
And that's the thing. The FG Nazis are responsible for a LOT of this. And. There needs to be a revolution. BADly.
VIVE LA REVOLUTION! XD
Now THAT I haven't seen. Because so few fans are up on translations, the majority write more anime than not, in fanfic.
Hmm. I only notice because with "Shaken Not Stirred," someone on the Yuletide LJ someone made some remark about it being an anime-based fic, rather than manga, ergo making it less desirable. (I didn't have either the manga OR the anime in mind when I wrote it, so that bemused me.) I've also had people ask me if the Shigure in "Justification for a Lie" is anime or manga based. Again, I don't really know -- it's just Shigure.
Considering how FBFF went totally fucking BONKers the one time I was sharing drabbles JUST because some of the pairings were m/m and a few idiots found that objectionable and complained...I don't blame you.
... I think I remember that. Funny -- one list freaks out about yaoi, and another freaks out if it's NOT yaoi. Lovely. Can we have ONE SANE LIST?!?!!
That's something /I/ would do. Because I can (but I don't, because I don't care to waste the time, and I understand that fanfiction is fanfiction. I have a brain).
Yeah, but you've read SnS -- and if you liked the characterizations there, that's... pretty much how I write the Mabudachi boys. Keeping characters In Character is important to me -- it's just that in the fandom, there seems to be a wider interpretation on what does and does not constitute OOC'ness.
Which would've been welcomed with open arms before this chapter 101 nonsense. *sigh* (so long as the OC was female, that is)
See, I don't know what the chapter 101 nonsense is that you're referring to (and, yes, I meant Mayuko -- I couldn't recall the spelling for a second there, and my volumes were in the next room... blame my laziness as a result of this blasted cold), and yeah, the OC is female.
It really depends on where you post it. If it's anywhere Mona can see, yes. She and her fanpoodles will lynch you.
...Pretty much the typical places: FFN, MMO. I don't go in for the specialty archives so much. I don't think Evvie really does, either.
*sigh*
We need to discuss this more. Are you on AIM at all, ever?
