3. ...Wow. Has it? I remember dressing up like Hermione and going to the midnight release (at a bookstore that ended up going out of business) with my then best friend, and winning a free copy of the book because I could answer the most factoids. I can't believe it's been seven years. Wow. Just...wow.

Oh, and 4? I totally went onto the Fandom_Wank wiki so that I could read up on this chick. XD

[pumkin-eater.livejournal.com]

19. I'll second the WTF. What's up with that?

[karel]

1. I've had... urges like that. XDD

5. I THINK I KNOW YOU. And I agree. Save for the writing bit, because I can't write him for the life of me. X)

14. I... forget everyone's birthdays. ^^' I always feel like such an awful friend.

18. I want to know who this is directed towards. >>' Because I can think of a couple. Also, what series is that from? It's pretty.

19. D: So then "straight" porn is completely and totally kosher? I've got to agree with you. What The Fuck.

Not!fandom - Sucks, doesn't it? (Super Mario icons? ... *shifty eyes* Do I possibly know you?)

[crackjaw.livejournal.com]

18. It's from Code Geass, a really popular mecha series.

[nanakibh.livejournal.com]

15. There's nothing funnier than OOC Death Note.
19. lololol

[fishie]

19. WTF INDEED. As if HET couldn't become something that 'should be censored?' (Not that I agree with the censoring at all in the first place, but that's a whole new WTF.) Someone needs to get their head out of their ass.

[fishie]

Lmao, and just because I couldn't resist checking it out - from the RP's profile:

Regarding shippings with characters: This is not necessarily something to avoid, though to be fair (and to appeal to all the players), please try not to make it a huge deal, just play the characters as they normally would react towards anyone. However, there will be NO YAOI/YURI/HENTAI IN THIS COMMUNITY. Any hints toward this will IMMEDIATELY result in you getting kicked out of the RP.

EDIT: Apparently people don't know the difference between "Yaoi/Yuri" and "Shounen-ai/Shoujo-ai". Well, allow me to enlighten you all.

Yaoi/Yuri is an explicit relationship between characters and a lot of people would probably not like this. Do you guys know what porn is? Well, this is exactly what it is and we will NOT accept that kind of stuff here.

Shounen/Shoujo-ai, however, is not so revealing and is just like any other non-porn-related relationship. This is completely acceptable in the community and we have NOTHING AGAINST HOMOSEXUALITY.

So before more of you immature spammers keep bombarding us with utter crap, please keep in mind that we are way more open-minded than you think. But if you still think that these are the same thing, THEN GO CHECK WIKIPEDIA, BECAUSE IT SAYS THAT THERE -IS- IN FACT A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Way to sound like a thirteen-year-old copping an attitude. ♥

I think I left off at chapter 162 but as much as I enjoy KonoSetsu, there really is more to the series than just that. Personally, I adore chapters involving Evangeline and her past. All of the characters are fabulous and just- the school festival was one of the best arcs ever! ♥

3: Woah, yeah.

8: Oho, I remember Nano. 8D

19: Lol.

[allsunday.livejournal.com]

3. Seriously. I can't believe it's been so long...

15. IAWTC

16. LOL I do too, actually... :x

19. ...Someone needs a whack with the ClueBat.

[failaga.livejournal.com]

2. Reminds me of someone. I kind of understand
14. I fail at remembering anyone's birthday, related or not :/
18. Whoa...
19. ... :/

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

1. ...that's creepy.
5. Y HELO THAR I know exactly who this is~
19. WHAT. Okay, if you're going by technical definitions, yes (yaoi being hardcore sex as opposed to soft shounen ai), but still. WHAT.

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

They're watching you? XD

[luisa-f.livejournal.com]

3. It's been so long, I can't believe the wankpocalypse is finally coming.

[downburst.livejournal.com]

19. excuse me wtf ಠ_ಠ

[biscayne.livejournal.com]

Y halo thar~

[pichi.livejournal.com]

19. Not knowing the context of this I can't say for sure, but it sounds like everyone is misreading this. I didn't at all see "wouldn't want that kind of explicit detailing" to mean that explicit het was okay. It's just a part of speech that turned out to have unfortunate wording. Explicit detailing, of which yaoi/yuri (Read: PORN) is, was not something the author felt the community wanted. Particularly in saying right after-- as long as it doesn't become something that should be censored.

Of course this all rides on the assumption that the RP community isn't supporting pornographic het either, but as there's no way for me to check this *shrug* That's my take on it.

[failaga.livejournal.com]

At the risk of being leapt on, I'm thinking along the same track. But uuh maybe we're missing something?

[morinzilion.livejournal.com]

1. I'm very happy that you used that picture. It amuses me. XD

[dusk.livejournal.com]

3. Ew, has it really been that long ...? I remember going to a local party for the first movie, too.

4. lololol

11. Oh, I know the feeling. :(

18. Oh, man, I've met some people like that before. They make me angry. >(

19. iawtc

15. I played that game, but I liked the MattMello part better than the main pairing. :\

[friendshipbeam.livejournal.com]

2) Another "I liked it before it was popular and now I hate the fans"? These seem popular lately.
8) That sucks. X_x
9) Rabid pairing fans are everywhere. I wave a Konosetsu flag because it's canon and it's cute, but I don't want the show to be about them. It's fine as it is.
19) You're taking this as a prejudiced statement. Not knowing the RP or context, I might be wrong, but I believe it's actually a jargon debate. You see, the original definition of "yaoi" is "male/male PWP". It's been mutated enough that fangirls see it as a blanket statement for all things boy/boy. This is not true; the word you are looking for is "BL" or "Boys Love", which does mean any male/male story or RP, including yaoi. "Yuri" has had the opposite happen to it; the true definition is "anything girl/girl" and has been mutated to be seen as "female/female PWP". Your Hinata appears to need a jargon definition, but it seems, so do you.

And for the record, the comm had previously said No Yaoi/ Yuri what so ever and thus were running in circles in the thread that comment was posted on. Funny how it was deleted quite quickly after being caught on that fact.

The roleplay, for anyone curious, is summerfun_rp.

(:

[(Anonymous)]

15. I loved that game. ;^;

19. LOL. I trolled at that comm for as long as I could. :P
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
Motha fuckas.

[demyx.livejournal.com]

Word up. I actually checked and they said no Hentai either. Basically, no porn. XD They even said they were fine with shoujo-ai/shounen-ai/whatever the fancy ass Japanese words are.

Nice to see you around again, btw. 8D ♥

[samuraiter.livejournal.com]

To #3: Yup. The last three books were spaced out pretty widely.

To #5: He has that 'cool guest character' vibe, and I wish more had been done with him. That's why he's 'fic-friendly.

To #9: Me? I read for the 30+ other characters. Negima is a harem fan's dream come true, even if you're into robot girls, ghost girls, etc.

To #11: I feel like this one is directed at me. (If it isn't, that's okay, too.) If you're reading, poster, I totally understand. I live in the ass-end of nowhere, I'm too broke-ass to move, I don't drive (and would be too broke-ass to drive if I did), and almost all of my online friends (or potential love interests, as the case may be) are hundreds -- even thousands -- of miles away. It's ... depressing, especially considering that this particular city is (officially!) one of the worst for singles in the country.

To #13: Congrats on coming out. ^_^

To #15: Ooo, dating sim secret! Bonus points.

Thank you. 8D It has been a difficult burden to bear for these past three years.

I'm glad the world finally knows my secret.

Okay, I'll put myself on the chopping block here for the sake of defending whichever community RP that is: his/her community, his/her rules. Sucks if people don't agree with it, but there's a really simple solution: Don't play in it. I'm sure it's not the first RP community that has banned yaoi/yuri, nor will it be the last. There are plenty of other communities that are completely gung-ho about homosexual relationships, and in turn, there are allowed to be communities that don't wish to have that dynamic as a part of their group. Much in the same way there are strictly het-players and strictly slash-players, it only makes sense that there are groups that reflect these preferences so no one should take it as a personal slight that they would exclude someone based on preference from a recreational group, especially when and if the canon gives no support to a same sex pairing. Of course I could be completely off base because I don't know which RP this is, but that's just my two cents.

[ex-parle.livejournal.com]

I love Enka. I don't see why you should be ashamed of it, it's just like every other type of ... music and stuff. :/ *shrug*

Re: #13

[(Anonymous)]

It's not that I'm really ashamed... It's more that nobody knows what enka is, and when they hear it they think the vocals are annoying. I just... I think that way of singing is beautiful, and I can't get enough.

3. That makes me feel old, but not as old as seeing music videos from 1997 on MuchMusicRetro.

Was 'Steal My Sunshine' really a hit an entire decade ago? O__O

Also, Darkwing Duck is 15 years old. WRRRRY!?!?!?

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

;_;

*feels old*

[longlongwaytogo.livejournal.com]

8. That sucks. Did you try calling *them*? Our NaNo was really good... not trying to make you feel jealous or something, but not all NaNoers are like that. They probably also individually thought that they were the only ones interested in keeping on meeting, etc. But whatever, your choice if you go back or not.

Random hi

[cephiedvariable.livejournal.com]

I never see NaNoers from my city in person, but I run into them on the internet all the time. O__O
