I agree! Except I don't really like yaoi. XD Well to each their own, it doesn't really bother me. I just really like the het pairings in that game. I like Anise and Ion too!

The classics are a good way of getting to the backbone of storytelling ability, and some of the main themes and ideas that come out in the history of writing. It's also often a good way to get a slice of history and the social constructs and behaviors at the time, or analysis on the human condition, etc, etc. You don't have to like them, not at all. But they should be studied and read just to understand more about literature and the world itself.

Personally, I think Mark Twain kicks incredible amounts of ass with his writing, as well as other classic authors. Oscar Wilde's plays? Also a favorite of mine. But I think Nathaniel Hawthorne can suck a gigantic cock, and the same for Edith Wharton for writing Ethan Frome. The classics are important, but not always likable. It's important to note their influence, their style, etc, etc. They're classics for a reason, after all.

But you can still have your classics and read your fantasy, too. Odds are high that a fantasy novel will be more immediately gripping and entertaining, but that a classic novel will have more to dig into. Neither invalidates the other.

Just don't ever read only one kind of book. Otherwise, you end up like the guys in the busty anime nurse t-shirts walking into Barnes and Nobles, getting excited about the Video Game novel adaptations, and when questioned by a gal pal in tow with 'You read?', responding with a 'CHFFH, YEAH, THIS stuff.'

There's more than just classics or sci-fi/fantasy out there, after all.

Re: 56

[kirarakim.livejournal.com]

IATWTC including the slam for Hawthorne and Ethan Frome. Although I do think some Classics can be really entertaining. It all just depends. And I think the difference comes when you read Classics because you want to read them not because you are forced to read them for school. Then I think you can start to appreciate their value more.

8: Ohgod if Megaman were in Brawl I'd DIE FROM HAPPY.

DIE I TELL YOU.

not!secret 2

[dots.livejournal.com]

LOL, fake.

18

[sighnomore.livejournal.com]

me too! ♥

66

[sexpress.livejournal.com]

I almost want to say I know you!

#40, 67

[linen-tartaruga.livejournal.com]

40. You're definitely not.

67. I never understood people that did that. Like I can see wanting to play characters in different settings, but . . . most of the people I've seen do that . . . end up playing out almost exactly the same plots anyway. :\

67

[(Anonymous)]

It would bother me 10 times less if we actually RPed in any of the settings.

Some people seem to think the secret is about that I'm being asked to join too many RPs, but really it's about how many RPs I've been asked to join - that we don't even interact in! Why would I want to join another game with you, when you don't even play that same character in another game we're already in together?
It's endless frustration.

but I know exactly what you mean. Different settings, and different options are fun and all that - but if you're going to take up the same character in different games, do something different in each game.

[astrokittie.livejournal.com]

50 FUCK YES HORNBLOWER.
Oh god I miss it too. I always loved Archie myself though.

52 Buh... I don't know what to say. D':

40

[artemekiia.livejournal.com]

Oh no no no, my roommate had me watch it for the first time a week ago and I'm still afraid to turn out the lights at night. Seriously, I'm 20 and in college but I'm the wussiest person when it comes to horror movies D: !!

36

[catiechu.livejournal.com]

YES!

[georg-vanlunden.livejournal.com]

6. Luigi the ideal? Well, I'm sure that'd be a boost for HIS selfesteem! Nah seriously, if you like guys like that and not just the superconfident, always on top of things Marios, then that's your business. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

8. Oh brother (or sister) of another mother, let us join hands and pray for this to happen together. Want Megaman so baaaad....

13. I do believe the point of Rock/Rossui is to be stupid and entirely for the lulz. Of course, if you just think it's plain stupid, that is your right to think so.

22. I have an odd fondness for secrets like this. What show is it from?

26. Man, now I want to watch Scryed even more than before. If only to see if this can really be truth, and not just hyperbole.

31. I too have a soft spot for heroic sacrifices. So you're not alone in liking it when caracters die, anon poster!

37. Well, One Piece tends to have those kinda qualities. The ones where you go 'oh but I'm way too old to like innocent adventures/things aimed at children/comics where fighs between heroes and villains are the main point etc etc. It's the show that keeps on surprising! And if you find you're crushing on one of the cahracters, well... you could do worse than Sanji!

42. ... Aaand what is it about that picture that is so terrible and makes you feel so guilty?

49. Oh my. I really want to play Folklore now. Is... the furry thing female or male? And what are the reasons for this wonderful new OTP of yours? Think of it as convincing me to get on board and share the love.

50. And I do not blame you. Hell, I feel a bit like swooning in a girly way when I look at that picture. That's the kind of perfectly windtussled hair you usually just see in anime...

52. Arnold. In dirtyminded slashfangirls thoughts? Likelier than I thought...

[(Anonymous)]

52. Who ever said it was a girl?

D: 31

[(Anonymous)]

I looked through nine pages of comments and NOTHING.
Does ANYONE know what manga that quotes taken from?

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

11. Well, hello Mr. Gillis :)

52. What's this from?

Re: 52

[fallofkarma.livejournal.com]

Terminator 2.

57

[(Anonymous)]

57: Agreed. Personally, I like Luke/Tear and yaoi Luke pairings almost equally, depending on my mood. But for yaoi with Luke, I'd rather see him with Guy or even Jade instead of Asch. I just can't see their relationship developing like that at all, and I can't suspend my disbelief very well when reading Luke/Asch fic. I think the general idea is a little squicky to me, too.

15

[angelberries.livejournal.com]

Hell yes - shes wonderful, absolutely perfect. Keep searching for her hon! (come talk to me and we'll fap together LOL)

Re: 15

[(Anonymous)]

LOL did you see too!big 4?

[redseeker]

28. *sigh* Contempt? Really? ...Have you tried writing a long piece of fiction? And "only a matter of how much free time you have" ... what's wrong with doing something enjoyable in our free time? And besides, outside of fanfic... it's more worthwhile to be able to plot and write longer pieces, because there's no money in short stories anymore :)

43. Did I miss a plot point? Granted, I tend not to pay much attention when an episode is about Owen, because I kind of wish he'd be killed off already, but...

55. What's coffe?

TooBig. You mean you "object to this shit". Also, if it's so awful, why did you play it?

TooBig

[(Anonymous)]

My friend shoved it into my face everyday until I played it and was going on for days and days saying how great it was, even after telling her "thats great but no i don't want to play" she still kept on it.
And no you don't always need the 'to' when 'this shit' is what I'm calling the game that name so you can say object "thing name here"

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

#12: i love you :)♥

[elendraug.livejournal.com]

6. LUIGI IS MY FAVORITE, TOO <3
10. XD; I laughed at the pun. Then again, I have no shame when it comes to really bad puns.
28. I don't understand how they write 40+ chapter fics in the first place. D8 I just... I can't even comprehend it. I can very much vouch for how hard it is to write really good short stories, though. Then people tell you it's not long enough every single time. ;[ Or that it would've been good if it hadn't been so short.
29. I miss it. :<
48. :<<<< Poor House. I wish there was something they could do for him, but he seems determined to be miserable.
49. I NEED TO FINISH THAT GAME LIKE WHOA Keats is ridiculously hot and I bet I'd agree with you if I'd gotten far enough to know what you're referring to D: D: D:
64. <3 Devi's a good person, and good inspiration. Good luck! :D

#2

[an-an0maly.livejournal.com]

I'd do Olivia any day of the week too!

#61

[aetter.livejournal.com]

Echoing everyone else before me: HELL YES :D

31, 27

[thrives.livejournal.com]

27. LOVE IT TOO am not furry lulz.

31. Text is from my favorite doujinshi everrrrrr :D

Re: 31

[cursedzodiaccat.livejournal.com]

What's it from~?

49

[maiki.livejournal.com]

Er, well, nothing against pairing Keats with someone besides Ellen but

Besides that, I love how Folks Soul secrets show up sometimes in here. I SWEAR, YOU GUYS REALLY DON'T NEED TO MAKE A SECRET OUT OF THIS FANDOM; THERE'S NOBODY AROUND TO EVEN DISCRIMINATE YOU.

Re: 49

[xenoglossy]

Well, in my experience, half the fun of posting secrets for really obscure fandoms is finding other people who've heard of them.

14

[synthetyk.livejournal.com]

14. I know how you feel. Especially since someone came up to me today and asked for my Brokeback Mountain necklace.

[barrin.livejournal.com]

@ 23: Just wait 'til you hit Nagrand. Fuck Nagrand in the butt until it dies.

[calophi.livejournal.com]

I hear you. I HATED Hellfire. I got out of there as soon as I could. Zangarmarsh is much better.
