106. Now are you talking manga too, or anime only? Because I was pretty sure the mangaka is a lot more laid back than that.

107. Because it is awesome? =X Just because you love one doesn't mean you can't love the other too. They're not mutually exclusive.

110. Have you read World War Z yet? IT'S SO GODDAMN EPIC.

113. They could be cute! I admit I don't really ship Mukuro hardcore with anyone, though, just given his personality (though I enjoy ships with him in them, none call out to me), and I prefer Chrome with several of the other guys. Mostly because while I can see Mukuro/Chrome as a ship, I also see them as having a very strong familial bond- that holds for the whole Kokuyo group, really, and I just love it. :>

115. Uh, you know, you can love something for escapism without being an idiot. It just depends on what you're into the series for. And by the by? It's perfectly possible to both appreciate the deeper parts of a series and be just having fun with it. And it's certainly not up to you to tell other people "BUT YOU'RE NOT SRS ENOUGH, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!"

117. I don't. =D But then, I'm not in that fandom, so lolz. I PROBABLY DON'T COUNT.

121. NONO, IT'S NORMAL FOR IT TO HIT YOU THAT HARD. It will pass... or at least fade to a managable level. I still love the musical and the movie, and spent a loooooong time listening to the musical's original cast recording repeatedly. Les Mis is amazing. (Have you read the book yet? I'M IN IT FOR THE LES AMIS. ... Like a large, large chunk of the old fandom.)

123. ... No comment on the rest of the secret because I have no idea what's going on, but I just have to point out that I have known several sets of twins IRL and none of them have ever hated being referred to as "the twins." That's... just what they are. It didn't say anything about their individuality, and nobody tried to imply that they were the same. It doesn't bother them a bit, so you don't have to speak up for every twin ever.

127. SO MUCH THIS. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. :|bbbb

131. ... I've seen plenty of animal cosplay I haven't been able to recognize and have never once assumed the person was a furry? I also met a person in Artist's Alley once who was in a fursuit and was seriously freaking adorable in personality and everything, very friendly and magnetic. I really think you're overreacting and just taking the opportunity to bash, here. No one's going to care.

138. That happens with me sometimes. Embarrassing trufax? It wasn't even the best fanfic ever, and it was a songfic for pete's sake, but I read one Gundam Wing fic that used "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith- I don't even remember what happened in it, but it hit me so randomly hard that the song still makes me tear up. Wtf self. XD; Songs are powerful things!

142. You can love the show without loving the characters, but it looks to me like you don't really think about the characters at all. Kamina was more than just GAR, Nia did have personality, plot and function beyond her character design, and a show can have a lot of characters and not be "too crowded"- small casts aren't the only good thing out there. However, as it's your opinion, I'm just stating why my opinion's different- it's not a big deal, and I don't think you're a "bad fan" or anything. :/

156. Haha, I can understand loving Cardcaptors if it was your childhood, but man did they butcher CCS. I mean seriously ow ow ow I can't even watch Cardcaptors because it hurts me inside.

164. People need to realize you can love something without it being a wonderful brilliant breathtaking work of cinema. DX I love a LOT of movies other people hate.

167. Uh... you finding out "she" (whoever she is) plays there and deciding not to app kind of implies that you have no way of knowing that "everyone in the RP and all the mods" worship the ground she walks on and would tear you apart for daring to not love her. You do realize that, right? You're really overgeneralizing on a ton of people and it's kind of rude.

I hear you. I feel scared to say anything in that comment for the fear that I might get banned for some arbitary, made up reason. (Not like the person who got banned before didn't behave like an ass, they did) But the mods are... inconsistent and seem to have comm mod as god complexes.

*<3*

162. Late comment is late but... ME TOO. I fucking love that show, and I'm not even 19 yet. Hope that restores your faith in humanity a little. :)

I concur. At first I thought it was really cute, but now I'm kind of tired of it.

Not that I want the fiction to stop. ;3;

130. I'm in the same predicament. I started a writing journal (over a year ago now) for fanfic about fandoms my flist had no interest in and I didn't tell them about it. Now I don't feel like I can't say anything and I feel really bad about not letting them know.

137. I started shipping it after watching the Wimbledon final. But I feel as though I can never actively do so because Federer looks A LOT like my 12th grade English teacher. (And they're both called Roger.) I can also never admit it to anyone I know because they'd all start making the same comparisons.

...I would not have learned a thing in that English class. XD

YES FOR RHAPSODY. I finally got the chance to play it sometime last year and really liked it. A little too short for my tastes, but an adorable game nonetheless. I'm hoping that the DS version will be localized!

122. My God. How much I agree with you. There's always a feeling of competitiveness too, like every member is fighting to have the best opinion on something

Pardon me, but who is that in your icon? Is that Ioan Gryfudd?

113. ahdgsahdsd ♥♥♥ OMG I TOTALLY AGREE~

132. Excuse me, which main plot? I'd like to know something about it, but until last chapter, there isn't a single word about it. So, please, don't complain yourself ( and you're only at volume 5) when I am the one is reading tons of costumers' stories instead the main one and desire to know more about Watanuki's past after YEARS of waiting.

Shit. Now it's time for explaining something, CLAMP!

143. No. It's impossible to ship them, no way! XD

Lol, Opinions vary, madame.

I can't listen to Passing Afternoon without tearing up over Amber.

Agreed. It was a sad song before, but now I will always think of that scene on the bus (and that shot from your icon).

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

I loved your picture. I can't believe there isn't already a humongous wankfest going on. I mean, really, we all joke about the mylar thing already, so why aren't more people recognizing it? I half expected someone to reply with something along the lines of "THE FLUFF MAKES THE WRITERS HAPPY HOW DARE YOU WANT IC FIC" but apparently not.

105: This kind of terrifies me. D: What if it's me? (Insanely unlikely as it is -- I haven't written for GW in a while. BUT IT'S POSSIBLE. :0)

I suppose the real question is why you hate them? are they poorly written, just not to your taste..? Because there's a lot of perfectly valid reasons. Being someone's friend doesn't mean liking their work—but you should be honest with her. If you don't like the work, it's hard to beta it well. Possible, but hard. I can see why this would be a secret though. (hug)

110: I've got my survival plan laid out for a lot of things, including zombies. D: WE'LL SURVIVE TOGETHER, ANON.

115: Escapism: es·cap·ism -noun.

the avoidance of reality by absorption of the mind in entertainment or in an imaginative situation, activity, etc.
The tendency to escape from daily reality or routine by indulging in daydreaming, fantasy, or entertainment.
an inclination to retreat from unpleasant realities through diversion or fantasy; "romantic novels were her escape from the stress of daily life"; "his alcohol problem was a form of escapism"

From Dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/escapism).

Welcome to Fandom, love. Some people like it for the deep thought and philosophy. Others like it for the above. Some of us even like it for both. Don't knock people just because they come to it for a different reason than you do.

129: I think him "having his way with you" does not mean what you think it means.

146: What's with all the "I know this is bad, but" secrets lately? It's still being an asshole, even if you admit it!

156: Um, okay? You know, just because everyone had crushes (LIKE KIDS DO) doesn't mean it has to be ruined. Was your love for for it so very fragile?

YES.

102. Hey, thanks for posting that secret, it inspired me google some info about Hotel Dusk and the game piqued my interest! :D I just might buy it.

104. Ahaha, I own two Tamagotchis (I'm 18, btw) 8----D Well, okay, I don't ship them and think of them as a fandom etc., but they're kinda fun and nostalgic to play with at times.

125. i agree 100%. all the people who love Harrison Ford as Indie are all pissed off because they think Shia would be a shit Indie, but me? i think he would do amazingly. plus, and no offense to Harrison, but he is getting a bit old. its no problem with me, but how many more do people expect him to make?

155. did you find the prince sexy? i did. i felt bad for them in the end though... twins....

It made you sad to find that out? Because after a while I was like, "Sweet, canon GAY!!!"

Maybe that's just me lolz.

113. AGREED (even though I rather see them as brother-sister)

159 MING-CHAO I KNOW ET CETERA. I LOVE THIS MANGA AND ADORE IT, LET'S BE FRIENDS!

take it to comments : LOL, I'm french and I think that would be funny too

101. I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan, but I've always ben fond of ABBA. Never seen the musical, don't really care about it.

107. You can like both, you know.

118. Cornelia is fucking awesome. And I would certainly hit that.

148. I really like Shirley, and I'll never understand the amount of hate for her. It's ok to dislike a character. But pure, seething hatred? 'Omg I'm so glad she's dead?' What a bunch of twats some people in fandom are. Thanks for being sane.

151. Damnit, I would too... -_-;

165. I found the whole thing hella weird too.

*points to

fedal_fans &

fedal_slash* You are so not alone. I think everyone in the tennis rps fandom ships it. How could they not, it's adorable AND hot!

-Anon who would've posted the same secret if her fangirling that ship actually _was_ a secret. *whistles*

!!!!!!!

Did you ever know that you're my heeeeeeerrrooooooo?

That book rocks! I keep it handy just in case the day comes and it's needed. My family thinks I'm crazy but when it comes they know who to come too!

140. I like both, but you're right. cartoon cast>>>movie cast.

148. I like Shirley too.

135. i love that movie, LOL. I drink milk straight from the carton too, but not because of that. It's jut my own habit.
143. When I was wathhcing the movie, I actually wondered if anyone did ship them. It's not the weirdest pairing...I could see it happening if Scarlett and Ashley weren't in the picture. What I really hope is that no one ships Rhett/Ashley!

120. LOL Matt/Hal?
127. Quite true.
156. So you had a “WTF JAPAN” moment?

112. omg i know.
