*laugh* Well. I do have a very good friend who's a liberal Republican. If there is such a beast. But I live in the Midwest, so I tend to fear getting threatened with legally concealed weapons by the average Republican here.
I do have an amusing anecdote I like to tell about an ex-room-mate who thought all Republicans were agents of Satan.
I discriminate against conservatives more than particular party-affiliates.
By and large, people who know me will tell you I'm remarkably open-minded for an elephant. ;)
I wouldn't be talking to you in the first place if you fit that 'evil' stereotype, so. ^^ It's all good.
I've found that Tohru/Yuki seems to be the fan-preference.
REALly. It must be the forums you frequent. FG is the mother(fucker) of all FB forums, and they pat the Yukiru fans on the head and tell them to go play, because it ain't happenin' in canon anymore.
Maybe that's changing.
It will, once they're caught up on the manga. *nod*
VIVE LA REVOLUTION! XD
No one expects the Inquisition! ... wait. Wrong quote. XD
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
There is absolutely NO way they could know that, given that you set it in the past. We know next to zip about the Trio's child/teenhoods. If anything, we know that they probably forked around, from Takaya-sensei's OWN side-comment about "however, when they were younger..." But other than that? This is exactly what I mean. These people haven't a leg to stand on but their own obtuseness. I'm OCD for detail, and I can TELL you what it does and doesn't say in reference a, b, or c. These people just pull stuff out of their asses and expect you to bow to them. Grrrr
ergo making it less desirable.
To THEM, maybe. *snort* Loser. Did they even sign this comment?
(I didn't have either the manga OR the anime in mind when I wrote it, so that bemused me.)
Exactly. It flows just fine with BOTH. The only thing that may have tipped off anime influence...and I don't recall. What did you have Ayame call Hatori?
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.
Exactly. Like it bloody matters. People are getting too wrapped up in the recent chapters. They're forgetting that Shigure can be playful and childlike, AS WELL AS being the son of Satan. He's a complex character. That's why he RULES. But they don't get this. It has to be either/or, or their tiny minds can't conceive of it.
As far as I'm concerned, anime Gure is Gure with his darkness well-hidden. It's still 100% Gure.
And, apart from that, the muse for a character as it exists in the writer's mind is inevitably different from the original writer's concept. That's why it's called FANfiction.
My Gure muse scares the bejeezus out of people, because he could give Hannibal Lecter AND the Marquis de Sade a run for their money. Does that make my fanfic or character portrayal illegitimate? No. I'm me, not Takaya-sensei. And I can back up every character trait he has - something the teenie-bop fanwriters haven't even thought to do in their characterization.
... I think I remember that.
-_-;; Whaaaat a bloody disaster. I'm so in no hurry to post there since then. Though at least the mod came to my rescue. Eventually.
Funny -- one list freaks out about yaoi, and another freaks out if it's NOT yaoi.

THIS fandom ISN'T well-read. XD That's the sad part...

The fandom is SO split and specialized. Stupid.
Lovely. Can we have ONE SANE LIST?!?!!
That would be nice.
