113. If you're seriously retarded enough to think that FS actually mirrors fandom itself, then that kind of fails. FS is 90% wank, fandoms are usually only... I'd say 10% or so? Or less? It really depends on the specific fandom, of course, but. I've never had a problem in any of my fandoms EXCEPT in communities like this one and anon memes, which seem to collect bullshit.
However, if you're fail enough to believe that a character has a canon sexuality unless their sexuality is made a plot point -- which it rarely if ever is -- then you're probably one of the ones who'd help turn a fandom into a place resembling FS anyway. So, yanno, have fun in your Better Than Thou corner.
117. I'm glad to know there was a reason I liked Squidward. =3
118. This made me laugh a lot more than it should have. XD
119. IAWTS ♥
122. Depends on the sideburns, for me. I've seen them drawn ridiculously, and I've seen them drawn so they actually work with the character design. It may also be the fact that I've seen a couple ridiculously hot Reborn cosplayers with the curly sideburns. Unf.
123. I'd try talking to them about it before just dropping them, but... yeah. I don't think I could respect that person at all, or like them very much after that. It may have just been total logic fail on their part, but that's why the suggestion to talk to them: you may find it a lot easier to decide whether they're worth the bullshit if you hear their opinion on their actions and your feelings.
131. ... This sort of secret actually makes me vaguely sad. Am I the only one?
134. I was going to e-slap you, but then I saw your replies to comments and I think this was a badly-phrased, but not actually bad-spirited secret. So that's all right then. Just... please do try to make an effort not to, yanno, mock the effort that your friends are putting into this and make fun of their writing. Isn't the fact that they are trying and writing a good thing?
141. Then you're lame, an idiot, and/or a massive tool? (: Also, that word still does not mean what you think it means. Just by the by.
151. You know, there are people who try to use the "official" spelling of things when it comes out. Not to mention those who were introduced to Reborn through the English release of the manga, therefore came to know Dino as "Dino Chiavorone." It annoys me when I see "Enzo" or "Pantella," too, but that only really tells me what version of spelling the writer is familiar with. Cavallone makes more sense, but Chiavorone is actually the way it's spelled in the manga -- strictly speaking, the people spelling it that way are doing it right.
not!secret #3: I think what they were mostly trying to do was exactly reverse how most other cartoons usually do it? So all they did was change the characters (the main family, the best friends, the cute boy, etc) to be black people, and took the "token black" friend and made her the "token white" friend. Doesn't mean it was a brilliant move, but I don't see what's terribly insulting about it; they may have just been making a nod to shows that are the other way around, or trying to prove a point.
But then, of course, I may be giving them entirely too much credit. XD

(Anonymous) 2008-11-09 01:14 am (UTC)(link)Wouldn't mock my friends ever and I do totally support them in their writing effort. A little frustrated with one or two of them who tend to judge their writing on how many people comment but aren't interested in putting work into actually improving their stories and meeting their potential. And while I <3 them, NaNo tends to bring out the worst of it.
The biggest thing that bugs me is that everyone tends to get angsty all together near the end of November every year and I'd love it if my friends were happy and this didn't feel inevitable. :-)
Re: 134 Creator
See, that I can totally get. People not actually putting effort into doing anything with what they write but demanding that other people review because it's only good if they get sqeeing reviews... sucks.
I tend to get angsty near the beginning of November, myself. I have the worst form of writer's block ever, which takes the form of being OMG SO EXCITED to start writing, up until it's actually November, and then all of my inspiration to actually produce words fluttering away like a lonely sparrow. >:
