9. I draw better on graph paper... even though I pay no attention to the lines whatsoever. Same thing maybe?

[larvayne]

2. I LOVE that series. I can't find it anymore but I loved reading it so much. ;o;

3. Agreed. ♥

6. Mmm.

10. Kingdom Hearts as a center plot is kind of overused in multifandom rpgs, but if it's done well - it's done well. Though I've never seen one yet, I think.

10. Wank aside, for that exact reason is why I like neisenma. (WHICH TOTALLY NEEDS MORE PEOPLE, BTW) It does a good job of trying not to favor one fandom over the others.

I avoid most KH-based crossover RPs because a lot of them seem to be like one of those fanfics where people think it's cool to remove all the Disney elements and toss in some anime characters.

2. Hee. My brother reads that. :D He's incredibly obsessed.

3. True for so many fandoms. :\

5. It's still fun though!

Really? :o Where I live, you can find it readily. Just where in the store is the iffy part. Some stores stock it in the "young adult" section, others put it with the "popular series" section.

Also, there's going to be a manga spinoff dealing with Graystripe during the New Prophecy...except...well, it looks horrible. D: The art is completely laughable and the person who drew it looks like they had no idea on what the anatomy of a cat should be.

1. I wish making friends offline was as easy as it is online, too.

2. I wish books like these had been out when I was younger. Now I feel too old to actually buy them.

6. I completely understand. During the worst parts of my life, it was the stories, characters, and worlds I had grown to love that kept me from killing myself. The conclusion of a story that I didn't want to miss, the thrill of reading a book that gave me something else to think about and another world to temporarily live in. All of the little things that helped to make all of the large, horrible things more easily dealt with. If I hadn't had fantasyland as a refuge, I wouldn't be here.

I used to be able to borrow it from the library, but I'm not too sure whether they still have it right now because I haven't been into the library for a long while~ And, unfortunately, the only bookstore relatively close doesn't stock it either - I think. But I want to reread it, so yes~! ♥

:O That is sad.

10. HAHAHAHA OH LORD, I WAS IN THAT GAME.

Yeah, no real opinion on the actual secret, but... LOL. That game gave me some good times. DX The thing I don't like about multifandom RPGs period is that they all degenerate into aimless wandering and character hookups. DX Bah. I long for PLOT and character interaction that GETS SOMEWHERE.

7. :[ Sorry, I'm one of those people. But I know you just can't force people to like characters XD; Admittedly, a lot of the female leads get kidnapped no matter how tough they are and the other female party members just sit around and you kind of forget they're there.

actually, I've gotten yelled at for the opposite: not liking the males enough. Specifically, FF7. I didn't list a favorite FF7 male in this one character meme and people were like "Y U NO LEIK CLOUD/VINCENT/CID?" BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T INTERESTING? Well, Cid was funny, but then I forgot he existed. >_>; OK, going off topic. DX

1. I get annoyed at how it's so hard to find people interested in fandom in your own area. There are tons of anime fans but it's like they're all dispersed across the world and you'll never find more than 10 living in your general area. Even if you like something supposedly "mainstream" like Heroes, you won't find anyone who likes it enough to TALK and SPECULATE and EXPLORE the topic. fjuihriuwehiwqhdqw. *headdesk*

Good times. Good times. :[

Dude I thought you were going to write a huge ass rant about 10 HAHAHA.

I like writing on graph paper more than on lined paper in general. I think it makes my handwriting look nicer.

[the-beanmaster.livejournal.com]

...Heroes is considered "mainstream"? :O I know a lot of people who watch it every now and then, but I know... maybe... three? Yeah, three people who watch it enough to know what the hell is going on. XD;;

...That just keeps the LAMERS out. No, seriously, I love Heroes. Like. For serious.

10.

[roaring.livejournal.com]

Nice try. :)

[levikitty.livejournal.com]

Heroes actually has a growing fandom, if the number of Heroes rants on fanficrants is any indication.

At what?

I was trying to convey my opinion and I think I succeeded at it. That's all it was.

Re: 10.

[(Anonymous)]

Just as long as I can convey my opinion too. ;)

Re: 10.

[roaring.livejournal.com]

Oops, that was me.

Re: 10.

[(Anonymous)]

? Go ahead? I still don't understand what you meant.

Re: 10.

[roaring.livejournal.com]

I already have.

5. All of my cosplays are from at least semi-obscure fandoms. Or are semi-obscure characters within the fandoms. I don't like cosplaying what 15346432 other people have already done, and there are so mant series out there that have such beautiful costumes that noone has made yet. Go ahead, you might make someone else a fan when they ask you 'Hey, so what character are you?'

Umm ok!

Me neither.

[the-beanmaster.livejournal.com]

Well, that's good, then. It's an awesome show :D I sound like a spokesperson, aaaaugh.

[larvayne]

I'm curious. Is PAIXAO that bad, though? Admittedly, I've never really gone through it.

I think so. To me, it was your generic bad KH-centric RP, or at least it was (it may have changed), and filled with elitists. Others may not agree, and that's fine.

1. You know..It's something I've thought about from time to time, and all I can come up with is that you have to see your offline friends every. day. Or close to it. I dunno, life's just weird like that sometimes.

That, and "offline" is very limited in how many people are around. D: Online, you can go and search as long as you want for people in a similar fandom, or sit in communities meeting others.

10. Mm.. I don't mean to sound elitist in any way, but I'm very..particular about what multi-fandom games I join. I don't join single-fandom games because most of the players there are "OMG THEY SAID THIS, OOC GTFO". Most of the time from my experience, multi-fandom games (AU or world collided) have pretty nice players. Whether they're any good or not is another story that I won't get into.

But, it seems like after _catchphrase_, the multi-fandom games sprung up out of nowhere. What I've noticed are the ones that you suddenly see EVERYWHERE that SO MANY PEOPLE are in are the ones that were hap-hazardly thrown together in a few weeks. Honestly, though? The heavily plot-driven multi-fandom games are few and far between. Good luck finding them. D:
