It followed this incident where some stupid fangirl had traced one of my TsengxRufus pieces and posted it without any indication that she had copied my work ... and some fangirls supported her because they liked the pairing. They were all, 'Well, I still like it' nevermind the fact that it was ripped.

I was all, 'WTF, mate? When did Tseng become Reno?' I think what made it most offensive was the fact that my art didn't suit her tastes so she thought to copy it and insert Reno instead and pass it off as her own. And so it kind of put me in a sour mood as far as the pairing goes. I'm usually to each their own ... but when I used to get on a near daily basis following the Japanese release of AC comments on my dA account such as, 'Nice, but I wish it was Reno there instead of Tseng.' I started getting the tiniest bit annoyed because it was if I owed those stupid fangirls something and should cater to their wants.

It's funny, because the real wank was started by the girl whose fic I had commented on when she decided that a nice constructive discussion about newer fans ruining the fandom completely against what I had advised since I knew it would turn into all out war. People got pissed, the post got deleted by the girl ... and then things gradually got nasty. I think because I was one of the only active prominent members at the time speaking my mind it was easy to pick me out from the rest of the crowd or something. I honestly dunno. I mean, there's my side of the story which is pretty civil and low key and there's what happened. I can't believe fanpersons still give a flying fuck after over a years time.

Actually ... I'll bet the fics that caused this shit are still up there. I'd suggest backtracking to late December 2005 and check out any RenoxRufus postings on there. I swear they're still up there ... I just don't really care to dredge them back up.

I have a faint recollection of that incident! It actually annoyed me too, because that was blatant art theft! But yeah, I've gotten those sort of comments too and I just say, "Well, if you want it so much, draw it yourself. :3 That's what I'm doing."

The more I hear of that incident, the more I'm glad I missed it. *dies* And augh, I'd rather not. I seriously dislike Reno/Rufus fanfiction enough to like.. quickly scroll over the page if I see the pairing listed there. *dies* Art I can look at, but.. writing.. no. *dies* Depending, really.
