Re: 45

I was under the impression that it's a lot more popular in FMA just due to the obscene amount of 'options' the fans are given. That could just be my uneducated guess, though, based on the fact that there are more popular pairings, and other series I'm into seem to just focus on possibly three OTPs that most of which are generally canon and pairings are -handed- to you, via the legit plot.

With FMA you have anime or manga to consider, canon pairings, the lack of canon pairings, how much interaction each character has with another character - and of course the people that will ship two characters together solely because it's unlikely to ever happen. (Which just seems much more widely varied than other series... from what I've seen.)

I just go by things such as - example: Sesshomaru and Miroku is a rare pairing in Inu-Yasha and my friend has a nightmare of a time getting any fic or product for it, but the first rare pairing I can think of in FMA is JeanxEd, and I've seen plenty of doujinshi and fic even -without- looking. That translates to me as FMA seems more 'anything goes' than most other fandoms I've had experience in, but again only speaking from personal experience... maybe it's more about how I perceive things/what I notice, than what's really going on.

Unfortuntely, even without being in those fandoms I've heard all about those pairing wars as well (mostly on here.) I've actually decided to stay away from things like Doctor Who and Supernatural just because I'm afraid previous bias from these louder fans have already set a specific 'idea' in my head of what I should 'expect' to find in both series... but yeah, no matter where you go -every- fandom's got the die hard fan that's more than willing to cause chaos in the name of their sacred OTP - and it's the perfect example of 'the squeaky wheel gets the grease.' We all hear them, so it seems like a majority of people, and they spoil the fun for everyone else.

I'm sure you weren't paying attention, since I'm under the impression we joined the fandom around the same time. I think I remember seeing introductory posts from you in fm_alchemist when I was still fairly new there- but yes, with FMA in particular (more-so than other fandoms I've been in, anyway.) I've noticed a large anime vs. manga battle and sub vs. dub war. Personally, I'm of the 'Can't we all just get along?' variety... but that could just be because I've found flaws in both and accepted that, and love them anyway.

but, I've rambled for awhile. I do apologize, as I have a tendency to do that in order to explain myself clearly - for fear of coming off rude - and wind up over explaining and somehow sounding arrogant, anyway.
