Uh, hey everybody responding just to repeat the emoticon that annoys 18 at 18? I'm going to start deleting those posts from here on. Just a heads up.

[subversive.livejournal.com]

I managed to avoid doing so! And I didn't even see this comment until after I had posted mine. Yay me? :x

18. SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH, I have the exact opposite view of those emoticons. Well, okay, I like ^_^ well enough, but :3 annoys the fuck out of me and so does *_* They're just... nurr. WHAT ABOUT |D?

[chaoticchicken.livejournal.com]

2. I want a Corgi more than anything, and yet I never thought of the relation between them and Cowboy Bebop.

18.

...sorry, I have trouble keeping my saliva in my mouth sometimes.

2. They're very cute but also need a LOT of attention and they need work to do or else they get bored.

[karel]

2. I've got one and I've had him since before I knew what anime WAS, much less had seen CB. If someone tried the stunts with him that Ein does on CB, I'd probably have to hurt them.

4. As a lurker about the GW fandom, I must say that I agree. Anymore, all I'll read are recs. Everything else kind of fails.

15. I must say here that I'm glad you don't run the world. I can see where you're probably coming from, but that means that only about 10% of the characters out there can be shipped at all. Truly canon ships are a bit difficult to come by, especially in my fandoms.

2. Yay! Someone who can relate to me. :D

I was actually thinking the same thing the other day as I was beating my head against my desk over something some fangirls were bitching about.

Yamato x Sora was my OTP from the first episode and I couldn't understand why no one liked them together. Once they became canon I felt like celebrating. But I didn't know anyone in the fandom to piss off by doing so.

Re: 15

It was the first thing that came to mind for "oft-denied and bashed canon pairing".

[nest.livejournal.com]

1. With all the pointless wank that goes on in fandom, you're probably not missing much by just being a lurker. Still, I understand how you feel sometimes. I'm pretty much a lurker a lot of the time too.

4. Lulz, GW fandom. I was involved in it when I was, like, what, 12? I'm sure it's changed a lot since then. The thing I remember most were the blazing pairing wars that went on between the various factions. Good times, good times.

12. I know exactly how you feel. :( I guess if it's important enough to you, you'll be able to make time, though I guess it also depends on where you wind up working.

14. I think long posts can be good, as long as I'm getting a clear perspective on what's going on in the character's mind and not, like, paragraphs of pointless physical description. I know it's annoying to read posts that are tldr-length, but on the other hand, it's pretty lame to get short posts that don't have much substance to them, characterization-wise.

15. But then fandom would be boring. :( People wouldn't think so much about how characters relate to each other, and we'd probably get some pretty cookie-cutter characterization in fanfics and stuff. Besides, what about fandoms that didn't have any pairings at all? Would people be better off just not exploring the different potential dynamics characters could have with each other?

To be fair, though, I think fandom does have a tendency to get too caught up in who characters do, rather than what they do. :P

18. I'M SO GUILTY Of USING THAT EMOTICON TOO MUCH. But, I'd like to think I don't overly abuse it. Like, I know some people who use it after every sentence, and I don't have the faintest clue why. But if you say/do something silly/embarrassing, I think it works.

Some fandoms, especially the ones afflicted with canon denial, are already boring. "X cheats on Y in a completely out-of-character manner and gets hit by a bus so Y can be happy with Z, who is somehow no longer her mortal enemy and now somehow suited to be with her." It's a challenge to find real good fanfiction anywhere.

[infringe.livejournal.com]

HAYS. MY SECRET IS UP THERE. 8D

[valkyriur.livejournal.com]

#4, I hear ya on that one. I love Gundam Wing, but the fandom is horrid.

#15, I semi-agree. I prefer if people stick with canon most of the time, unless they can actually create a good story as to why non-canons are together. I mean, something that actually makes sense.

[cakemix.livejournal.com]

7.) This secret wins so very hard ♥ but for me, personally, I always dreamed of having my very own Koopa airship, just because the music was SO BADASS. To this day, I still dream of it. XD

[grayout.livejournal.com]

You know what would be AWESOME? A CAR COMMERCIAL. Where the car is like driving across a bridge... and then the bridge is like crumbling behind it. And it gets to the end of the bridge, and there's a huge castle... and a dude in jeans steps out, and the camera zooms out as he looks up... and the door opens. And it zooms back in, and it's like, Mario.

SHGKSJGHSKJghsKJhgts I WOULD TOTALLY BUY THAT CAR.

[(Anonymous)]

8: Man, I wish I'd been in the fandom when it was big. I also wish I knew where you got such a clear picture of Tot *fails at image-searching*

[prototypical]

If you like Yohji/Aya/Schu smut, I can throw an author's name at you.

[tardious.livejournal.com]

For the most part I dislike :') with a horrible passion of a thousand burning suns because I get the feeling of "Hay, I'm elitist and I really don't give a shit what you're saying because I'm better than you."

At least that is what I interpreted it as. :O Correct me if I'm wrong.

[saave.livejournal.com]

Hyee. ♥

[ex-duelist.livejournal.com]

15. Boooooring.

18. What makes that one annoying and the other ones not? I think you need to try not to take emoticons so seriously.

[(Anonymous)]

Whatever you say...

[dr-ghost.livejournal.com]

I kinda DO want to know why and how, not in a bitchy way just purely curious.

13

[(Anonymous)]

I know. I feel bitchy for not sharing why.

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

Eccks dee semicolon? :D

I overuse it. And I also think it's rather stupid. But "^_^;" bugs the hell out of me...so...

[fairyfey.livejournal.com]

6. More amused by this than I should be. ♥

15. Where's the fun in that?

17. It's such a fun word. :O ♥

6

[infringe.livejournal.com]

Teehee. Ain't it amazing. ♥

[dusk.livejournal.com]

6 ahsdgashjgasfs that's ... awesome.

14 Agreed. Too much detail can be bad.

18 ... ... sorry, couldn't resist.

[dusk.livejournal.com]

oh, I forgot.

15 Uuuh ... where's the fun in that? =/ Sorry, but you can only have so many canon pairings before you get bored of it.

[longlongwaytogo.livejournal.com]

15. The problem with that is how many shows/books are totally not sure what is canon and what's not. There's people who like more than one person. There's subtexts. There's a lot who don't have established couples, it just hints at who *might* be a couple sometime in the future. So... yeah. Even if you took out the random slash and that, it wouldn't work. Sorry!

[x-of-greene-x.livejournal.com]

6. I LOVE YOU.
18. XD;;!!! Sorry. =P

[infringe.livejournal.com]

Have a kiss. -chu~-

[maeda.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I especially hate the lowercase X version. AUGHAUGHAUGHUAAUGGHDGFJ

and 6

[maeda.livejournal.com]

Dude, that is hot.

[jblankbluth.livejournal.com]

6. Love for the person who wrote this secret.

2. PUPPIES. OMG. OMG OMG PUPPIES CUTE. <3 CORGIS

[(Anonymous)]

2. Thank you :D

[(Anonymous)]

The emoticons that drive me nuts are X_X and n.n, entirely because I associate them with people who really annoyed me in the past, and they were the only people I knew who used them. Extra semicolons just make me laugh, though. >:(;;;;;

[affection.livejournal.com]

6. Omg. ~ That sounds hot, seriously. xD

I VERY MUCH LIKE THAT IDEA.

[penumbra.livejournal.com]

1. Same.
2. lol; don't you know that everyone - including the Queen - loves corgis just 'cause of Cowboy Bebop?
15. I like some canon ships, just not all of them - and I don't think that everyone should always ship canon all of the time. I sometimes wish there was more love for canon, though.

[(Anonymous)]

2. Nah, I'm just out of the loop like that :D Read "I'm" as "Just about all my friends are"

[ritalion.livejournal.com]

I am the only one who finds that just about everyone who had to do the XD;; emoticon after there was a secret about it to be assholes?

Because doing that after someone specifically says that annoys them is pretty rude.

Of course, that's just me.

[descorde.livejournal.com]

No, you're not.
