1. I kind of want to try it out just to see what all the hype's about. XD But it'd kill my computer, so no.

3. I can understand the sentiment, but expressing it seems to be taboo. |D;

4. ... ROFL. More power to you. ♥ The shipping wars in this fandom are absolutely ridiculous. :/

11. So. Much. Win. XD

13. I see Ritsu and Hatori. X) ♥ AUTOMATIC WIN. (Kurama's a pretty good one too. :D)

14. That's just weird, yo. I've found more goodfic for TeniPuri than for any fandom I've ever been in. You're just not looking in the right corners, I guess--BNFs aren't always where it's at. ;O And frankly, BNFs don't ALWAYS write the best fic... but you're still going about it backwards.

The fics in the fandom don't suck, dearest opportunist. Start by writing better fic, then you'll be a BNF. :]

15. Oooh, the Kusheline series. It's SO well-written, but I still haven't finished the first book. ^^; I don't know WHY. I guess because I just didn't get very into it... Maybe it's the same affliction as you.

18. IAWTS. XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

25. :[ That saddens me... I've been staying out of fandom until I find the opportunity to finish the series, but yeah... maybe I'll just stay put. ;;;

27. ROFL.

29. SO MUCH FUCKING WORD, MAN. And the worst part is that some of those characters when they aren't being BLATANTLY RIPPED OFF are pretty damn badass. >/ So it pisses me off to see that done to them. FUCKING GET YOUR HANDS OFF CONRAD, ASSHATS. (and I won't even go into the childhood-destroying factor of BISHIFIED TURTLES FTW)

And does anyone know who the blond on the right end is? And if it's even a guy? ;;;

31. Yeah, Hitsu is a camwhore, but there's no need to bash on him as much as I've seen done, really. XD He can't help it. It's mostly the fans' (and Kubo's) faults. :P Myself, I think he's all right, but not enough to deserve as much paneltime as he's gotten.

As a die-hard Kurama fan for ten years, I was a little disturbed how quickly those two replaced him XD

but what can I say? I like the tragic ones <3

Hee. Ritsu's actually my favorite out of those three--YYH was too old and too long for me to have followed enough of it to be comfortable with it, and just... Ritsu! He's so loveable, poor thing, and doesn't know it. Granted, Hatori is a wonderful character too, but I have a huge soft spot for the monkey. XD

I love Ritsu most, too. I think one of the main reasons is that I can identify with him so completely. (I'm still fairly new to the manga, so I don't know too much about it yet)

I hear you on the writing. First paragraph = interesting old-fashioned style. Everything after = sucked in and staying up to read more chapters.

I pretty much devoured each of the first trilogy as soon as I got them. Phedré didn't bother me in the first trilogy - I tend to cut main characters (especially in big heavy fantasy trilogies) slack because hey, someone's got to save the world. In Kushiel's Scion Phedré isn't the viewpoint character, but she gets talked about. And the fact that she's on the cover again makes me wonder if Jacqueline Carey doesn't love Phedré a leetle too much (almost as much as she <3's the Shahrizai).
It's the uncertainty that does it. Eh, maybe Sue-ish, but considering scope of the novels + viewpoint character = kind of justified. OR IS IT?
The blurb of the book I'm reading now starts off 'the rich hate him, thieves fear him, women love him' (lolol, I can't even see Dan Brown using that). Ah, comfy certainty. This man is never going to fit with other character's praise of him. The fun's in seeing whether he fails by lacking in either awesome stunts or character development and personality.
