Fandom Meme

Stole this from my flist

The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it:
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles. Yet I'm still around for some reason! It seduced me, we became tight and then it fucks me over. Yet I alway go back and the same thing happens!

The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets:
Yu-Gi-Oh. The memories, the fun. I still read the old fics every so often and I get an itch now and then to go back writing it.

The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was fucking crazy:
Kingdom Hearts. Oh how I loved you in the beginning KH but your fandom is fucking crazy. I still love the games though.

The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town:
Ouran High School Host Club. I love the series but I'm not crazy about the fandom. It just wasn't for me, there's way too many het fans. I only ever liked the Kyoya/Tamaki LJ comm.

The steady:
Weiss Kreuz. No wank, no crazy fans (if they were there, they left a long time ago). And since it's an old fandom there's plenty of fic recs lists around so I don't ever have to touch the garbage on ff.net by the idiot fans who write fics based off pictures withiout having watched the series.

The alluring strangers whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with:
Kaori Yuki. Oddly enough she's my second fav manga-ka after CLAMP, I love her stories but never really gotten into the fandom side of things.

The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't:
Gundam Wing. I love the bad fics in this fandom, I find them hilarious because they're so stupid (Duo getting raped and impregnated by a panther? AWESOME!). But there's no desire than that to participate in the fandom and I just like watching the show on a casual basis (ie, it's not one where I *had* to watch the entire series in two days).

The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere:
Bleach. And yet I like Bleach! I read it last year up til just after the Soul Society arc. I thought it was a great and cool series and yet I every time I swear to start re-reading it, to get caught up on things, it never happens. I don't know what my problem is!

The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking, "him? how the hell did he land all these cool babes?":
Naruto. *runs* I'm sorry! I honestly tired it, I read 30+ volumes a while ago, I spent a brief period in the fandom because of some friends, but I never really felt anything! Plus the fandom is fucking crazy.

The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly:
CLAMP. Seriously any fandom for a series by CLAMP goes insane at some point. Look at Holic it was a sane fandom for years but lately the crazies have started coming out. Kobato will eventually be effected too. It's just something you have to live with and deal with if you want to be involved in the CLAMP fandom.

LOL... uh, yeah, about WK... actually, some of the good/better writers for the series never actually watched it. Strange, huh? Considering how bad the animes are, I guess it doesn't make a difference.

Wow, Duo getting impregnated by a panther... I almost want to read that! Almost... okay, not really. -_-

[identity profile] rekallthegreat.livejournal.com 2007-09-13 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I never knew that about WK. I guess as long as they know how to write it doesn't matter. I was thinking more of the idiot fans who make themselves and/or their friends be new members of the group and fall in love with the boys.

Oh, Duo's always getting raped and impregnated. His Gundam has raped and impregnated him before too. Most bad fic make me run away screaming but I find it hilarious in GW.

WK: I think it's because some of the writers out there aren't anime fans, so they hear about or read fics about it from other sources, then become interested in a roundabout way... Then again, one of my fav FF7 fics was written by someone who admitted their source material was other fanfics.

GW: LOL... his GUNDAM impregnated him. I didn't know they came equipped with penii (penises? : D ) That's so awesome...

YEAH UNLESS YOU LIKE THE SERIES STAY AWAY FROM THE FANDOM. WAIT IF YOU LIKE THE SERIES STAY AWAY FROM FANDOM. They ruin it!

Well I haven't seen any insanity from CCD or Legal Drug.

*ponders* You know it really could be the Naruto's fandom fault why I stopped caring for it. Because I did like it in the beginning. And Sasuke was my favourite character who was getting bashed a lot at the time.

Haven't heard insanity from CCD or Legal Drug, yet. CCD I doubt will get any since it's older and not well known but when LD continues and if it gets a bigger fandom... oh boy.

[identity profile] a-white-rain.livejournal.com 2007-09-13 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Sasuke is more evil and Itachi and Orochimaru combined. What I learn from you, fandom. :(

Well if Legal Drug did continue... I wonder how it would go crazy? The pairings are straight forward, the girls are clearly related in a platonic manner (or if it was romantic, it isn't anymore.)

[identity profile] rekallthegreat.livejournal.com 2007-09-13 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
I've already seen some people who've read LD say that Rikuou is in love with Tsukiko and that's why he wants to find her. They're convinced that Rikuou and Kazahaya really don't like each other.

None of those people were in the fandom though (as far as I know).

[identity profile] a-white-rain.livejournal.com 2007-09-13 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
um yeah. I'm fairly sure Kazahaya's girl is his twin and Tsukiko came across sibling like to me. BUT I'M NOT SURE.

They're convinced that Rikuou and Kazahaya really don't like each other.
Well they don't really get along, but the point is they care about each other and will touch each other in naughty ways. Not that I honestly care much, I just was Kakei/Saiga and the girls to be explained.

Interesting fandom meme... *steals* 8D

Honestly? I don't like Naruto 8| It was nice in the beginning... and then it went on and on and on and on... and you get the idea ♥
