6. I've wondered about the high occurance of asexuality in fandom before, considering that outside you almost never even hear of it existing, let alone anyone who identifies that way; is it simply because of the greater permissibility of thinking about and discussing one's sexuality that comes with fandom? But then you lost me. I'm honestly confused. What part of looking at a naked person of any gender, kissing, etc. and going "?" or "meh" instead of "!!!" is pathetic?

7. Say it loud. Say it proud. The original FF7 was a great game.

11. One reason I despise our school systems is for convincing people that test scores have anything whatsoever to do wtih actual intelligence.

14. Hell yes. She started out as fairly annoying, but hell, she was 12. I mean, I have a hard time having much sympathy for anybody who would consider having a boyfriend to be a higher priority than being a badass ninja, but once the, "Hey, maybe there's more to life than mooning after Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Poster Boy" revelation kicked it, she starts to get awesome. And I'm probably as yaoi-fangirl as you get. People can realize they're not in love with someone without any degree of OngShe'sSoAnnoying! Here's how to do it right.

16 and 18. AshBrock (yeah, yeah, I was into that show, shut up), IchigoIshida, AizenIshida....I want to read some now. (Recs?)

20. Eh, Haruhi's cool because she's not a traditional romantic lead. Not being paired with anybody wouldn't bother her much.

28. Sister/brother, you are not alone.

Asexuality in fandom

There's been quite a bit of discussion on that. My feelings on it are that as asexuals, we don't have that drive to "hook up" and seek out relationships (by relationships, I mean romantic ones), so that leaves us with a lot of extra time to devote to our hobbies.

In addition to that, pretty much everything in the world is sexualized -- toward you. Walk around outside and it's just like, everywhere. Are you sexy enough? How do you look? Do something fun -- like flirt! Go have sex.

In fandom, there's less of that, it's the characters having sex, not yourself. I can see where the attraction lies for the asexual crowd.

I felt the need to say SQUEE at the link to Diplomatic Relations. I loved that fic to bits and I also think it treated the Sakura issue very, very well.

Isn't it lovely? Went looking for Lee/Gaara and was lucky enough to stumble on maldoror_gw.

I had it work the other way around. It was recommended to me and I decided to read it on a whim. I'm so happy I did, and now I'm addicted to the pairing. But with that as the starting fic, it makes it hard to find others that measure up. Shoot, now I want to reread it.
