Is the situation as bad, less bad, or worse than the Inuyasha fandom scene? Are there more tweener fangirls, less, or about the same?
Seriously, I'd like an answer to those questions.
I'm kind of afraid to go into the Furuba fandom, having only read up the USA domestic release and only seen random episodes of the anime. I'm afraid of spoilers, see. I was planning on taking a peek into the fandom after I've read a few more volumes of the manga... except now I'm even more frightened of it. Out of curiosity, has anyone ever jumped a person who used the name "Fruits Basket" instead of "Furuba?"
See, I'm working on a fic with [info]everstar3 -- it's a joint thing. And while we both prefer the manga for the character depth, there are a few things that don't happen in the manga and do happen in the anime that we need for the 'fic to work. So, we decided to tweak things a little so that the fic had the depth of the manga, up until Volume 5, but was mostly set in the world of the anime. So... kind of a hybrid universe, I guess.
Whether or not you guys decide to post this fic, I am very interested in reading it. Post it on Green Tea at least? (Not the forums of course.)
What I'm thinking is, screw the fangirls and screw their loudness and screw their ability to attack in numbers and screw their naive, mainstream-driven opinions and all the fallacies they use to support their arguments! I'm sure there are intellgient, mature people in the fandom who would appreciate a good fic. And worse come to worse, you could do what evilpuppy suggested and add in a little Akito/tohru action. Take that fangirl flatworms!
In other words, don't bother with the immature and stubbornly ignorant. Post what you will, and learn which comments to take and which to flush down the toilet, and I know you already have this ability.
