3. What's a fandom uke? I've never heard that term before!

5. You mean people are writin' Phoenix Wright-related stuff without playing the games? I mean, I can understand reading it, or looking at fanart (a friend of mine did before she got the game), but writing for a series when one has minimal knowledge beforehand just sounds a little odd to me. Like, I think it'd be tricky to nail Phoenix's nice-yet-inwardly-sarcastic nature if you haven't played through at least a couple of cases beforehand.

8) I lol'd.

5. I'm not in THAT particular fandom, but I TOTALLY know how you feel. God.

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

5. It's that way in just about every fandom right now. Case in point: 99.9999% of all of the stuff currently on ffvii_yaoi.

15. Elizabeth is fucking HOT. END OF STORY.

[farferello.livejournal.com]

2. I totally know what you mean about wanting more people in your fandom to join it. :/

[fishie]

10. Even though I'm one of those people you're talking about, I promise, you're not the weird one.

If you want to talk, though, I won't spill. Whether we know each other or not. tensaiface on AIM. ♥

17. HELL. YES. I was never that interested in Ed, honestly - great guy and all, but Roy and his boys (you know Riza's one of the boys, shut up) were so. much. better.

[missmorrichan.livejournal.com]

Ouch, really? I'd at least like to hope that people are trying to research canon before writing, and aren't randomly assigning characters personalities based on their looks.

DOCTORSPAZZ♥.

--um,right,sorry 'bout that,moving on.

9. FFX was awesome. I loved the cinematics. I'm not sure if you're talking about X-2 or 13, but the latter of the two wasn't all that bad. :x Sure, there was a different engine (?) from the tactics team and it was sort of boring in parts a little slow, but there was a story all the same. After saying all that, I still stand by the fact I loved FFX's plot ;; I wish X-2 never came out. Killed the ending of X. *ramble*

12. Awkward much, yeah?

13. THROW YOURSELF OUT THERE AND DON'T CARE, YOU'LL BE FINE? / well, that's my advice. xD

17. Randomly saying; that secret's graphics are so pretty. o-o; Contrast ftw! *Stares*

19. AMENNN.

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. XD That would be the LOGICAL thing to do. Seriously. There are a couple authors who write TONS of stuff that's badly-done and totally ooc...and they could have EASILY beaten the game several times in the hours it must have taken to write that schlock.

1. Blame the witch hunters going out of their way to rape people up the ass for saying anything Japanese. I'm sick of seeing witch hunters all over fandoms. D:

4. I'm familiar with the urge to. XD

11. Depends on the lecture. Overbearing "BE NICE AND PLAY TOGETHER LIKE PUPPIES OR YOU'RE ALL GROUNDED" or snobby condescending "this is how to write such and such and if you do it wrong you're a fanbrat and I'm going to eat you" lectures need to die in a fire. But lectures directed at the asshats and dicks trolling around purposely stirring up shit are fine by me because really, basic manners and common sense.

13. I used to feel that way. You shouldn't let it get to you, real true friends like you for who you are, not your involvement in fandom!!! *sappy smile* you'll drive yourself nuts and be miserable and never be able to enjoy fandom.

19. Ah, parents. They'll STFU eventually. Mine did!

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

17. Oh, and I think I know who you are. XD

[halevy.livejournal.com]

7. Get new friends? D: I'm sort of indifferent but at the same time I'm not. I WANT TO BE but gah.

8. ROFLCLOPTERS. Another person who misses the joy of TRC's happy beginning?

9. OMG, that game could have been my favorite but something kept nagging me. I also wish FFX-2 never existed. AND THE ZILLION FFVII GAMES. Gackt, GTFO pleeeeeeeeeeeeease.

[niwakaame.livejournal.com]

KSJHFKSHFKSF I think I'm melting on the inside.

In lack of another Doctor icon ,have a groovy kuzco.

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

GACKT. ;_; WHY.

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

5. You mean there's more of this? I don't understand why a person wouldn't play the games. It's not like it takes any skill other than having brains. There's no actual... I don't know, gaming-ish stuff as far as controls or anything like that. I guess if you don't have a DS, but... Borrow one? BLEGH. I hate when people do that. D: So secret-maker, I agree and I feel for you.

9. Wait, so you liked X more than XII? (I think that's what you're saying. XD;) I'm like, the exact opposite. :3

10. I agree with you, sort of. I don't have characters saying actual sentences in my head, usually, but sometimes I'll sort of quickly get a feel for their reaction to a certain thing if it pertains to them, or... something like that. No actual talking, though.

12. SORTA FEEL THE SAME WAY. XD

17. Agreeeeed. Also, hi Erin. :D

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

XD Haha, yay.

And dude. I totally embarrassed myself in front of saw a guy who looked EXACTLY like a young Eccleston today! Except for the fact that he didn't have a Northern accent. He sounded like he was from London (to my inexpert American ears XD;). Le sigh.

[feywood.livejournal.com]

9. Wait. Are you saying FFXII had no plot? o_O

[pumkin-eater.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should join more fandoms? I know plenty of people like this <3

[pumkin-eater.livejournal.com]

AMEN.



..sorry xD

[karel]

9. FFXII was visually beautiful, but I must agree that I liked X much, much better in terms of plot. FFXII had so much potential and I feel like they wasted it.

10. I don't think it's weird at all that you don't. I personally do have a little muse hanging around, but I wrote just fine before he happened. He's just for fun, you know? I certainly don't think you need a muse to write well.

17. I would have loved for there to be a little mini-series or spin-off that focused on the military. INCLUDING the more "minor" characters and the villains. Like Archer and Kimblee and various others. I liked Ed just fine as a main character, but I did want more of the military.

19. Mom gave up on me with that a long time ago. X)

Definitely not the weird one.

To be honest, when people tell me they have independent characters living in their head and talking to them, and are serious about it, I want to back away slowly. There's a big difference between feeling that a character or plot "speaks" to you and "wants" to be written or even imagining such a thing, and meaning that in the literal sense.

'Cause people in your head talking to you? Yeah, there's medication for that.

Don't wait for inspiration to strike if you want to write. Just write. Inspiration comes with practice, and with getting out into the world and filling your head with sights and sounds and experiences for your imagination to work on.

YES!
