24. You and me both.

[turk-elena.livejournal.com]

21., rather, not 24. :P

[case]

16. MAGICAL BOY IN A MAGICAL SCHOOL WITH MAGICAL FRIENDS AND MAGICAL ADVENTURES VS EEEEEVIL ENEMIES SAVING THE WORLD (PS he's also the One) these are the classics of our generation. ...that is kind of sad, huh.

26. Yes. (:

AHhahahhahahah oh shit, I was with you until you had your example be Dragonlance, are you SERIOUS

Not to say I haven't read and loved those, but seriously. Seriously, come on.

16 & 24: Must be from the same person. ARTIFACTING AHOY

[militarypenguin.livejournal.com]

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE.

[i-heart-cameron.livejournal.com]

9. OH JESUS THANK YOU, CHARMED FUCKING SUCKS WITHOUT PRUE. I CRIED FOR WEEKS WHEN SHE DIED, AND WHEN I GOT BACK INTO IT BY BUYING THE SEASONS 1 AND 2 DVDS I WAS SO SAD AGAIN : ( I MISS YOU PRUE!

19. OH MAN DRAMA IS AWESOME

[kurachu.livejournal.com]

FUCK I LOVE YOUR ICON

MADEA FTW

[jill-calico.livejournal.com]

11. Me too. :)

16. Agreed. I liked HP when I started reading it eight years ago, but then I started reading Philip Pullman and Garth Nix and Diana Wynne Jones and I just totally do not see what I ever saw in HP.

[yellowallamanda.livejournal.com]

Do you know what would make my day? No. What would make my LIFE? A Charmed Life Movie! Animated or live action, I'm not picky.

Hell, another movie of any of Diana Wynne Jones books.

[militarypenguin.livejournal.com]

Harry Potter's one of the few fantasy series I really enjoyed, so...fuck me, then?

Re: #16

[forchancookie.livejournal.com]

With a magical vibrating quidditch broom no less. D=

[blueutopiah.livejournal.com]

16: THANK YOU...although I probably would not be able to stomach a Hollywood movie, or series of movies, for DragonLance. I doubt they could get it right, even Lord of The Rings had its flaws.

24: Or at least make him Kurama's boyfriend.

[xreddestinyx.livejournal.com]

I actually thought 16 was you at first. :P

(Late comment, I know. I'm catching up on things I missed.)

[fyretoppaaa.livejournal.com]

1. C-Creepy. oO

6. THIS COMM NEEDS TO STOP GOADING ME INTO BUYING EVERY VIDEOGAME IN EXISTENCE. B-BUT. *loves on her new Shadow of the Colossus disc*

14. ... Okai omg who is that in the coat. XD

22. I love OHC and Furuba a lot, but they aren't series I read consistently. XD;;; I'm allergic to fluff or something. I much prefer action and retardation ala Bleach, Eyeshield 21, Naruto, Shaman King, One Piece. So no, you're not weird. Shounen is just better. ♥ *ducks flying tomatoes*

25. ... :[

14. Axel from Kingdom Hearts.

16 - You had me until "Dragonlance". Harry Potter may not be great art, but "Dragonlance" is even cheesier. It's a Dungeons and Dragons merchandising tie-in!

Re: 16

[chaobell]

dammit, give me back my brain cell, I need that ^^;

[forchancookie.livejournal.com]

4. Don't let the voices win!

10. ...sorry, but you are the reason that people hate fangirls/boys so much. =/

11. Tell us when you write your book so we can join in the fun!

13. I'm glad my rp friends are flexible and we flip roles often so no one gets pigeonholed like that.

22. You can watch other things you know. Girls are allowed to be interested in other things. I'm not a big freak, but I love me some action, some ass kicking, some blood, some guts, something that has me on the edge of my seat and last time I checked, I'm still a girl and still considered average. Besides, you're allowed to develop your own interests outside of the herd you know.

[(Anonymous)]

11. You can start trembling now, Fandom ! XD

[chaobell]

Oh, 16. Oh, I did lol.

I'm not saying Potter is great literature, but I'd sure like to hear your theory about what makes a series of glorified Dungeons & Dragons fanfics so much more worthy of attention.

[beeblebabe.livejournal.com]

The Mormon propaganda, of course! :D

(I'm mostly being silly, but, you know, Tracy Hickman is Mormon, and you've got these caucasian native american types going to find the HOLY PLATES with the message of the GODS etc.)

[kurachu.livejournal.com]

14. HA HA HA FUCK YEAH SEAKING. That was a loljoke in EWAY.

22. I grew up with guys all around me, so I love guy stuff. I learned to love violence and plot. Romance is okay, but I love it when characters take a beating and dish it back out.

24. Wait. What. When did the boyfriend thing happen. Did I like... miss this or something? Maybe I need to go through and watch that part again. >_>

RE: 24

[thornyplums.livejournal.com]

There's plenty of subtext-- as with any pairing if one looks hard enough-- however, they truly are not canon.

[errorism.livejournal.com]

AUGH TWO RUNAWAYS SECRETS I LOVE IT and agree hugely with number 7. Number 7 i love you

[(Anonymous)]

AHAHA they're both from the same person. LAME ON MY PART. XD

[sopoliini.livejournal.com]

16. Oh come onnnnnnnnnn. I'm not a HP fan. At all. So it pains me to say, but Dragonlance is such poorly written crap that it makes HP look like a bloody classic. I could think of 20 fantasy books that deserve a good movie more than Dragonlance or HP.

4, 11, 19

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

4. Tell the voice to shut up, and write. :) I do know the feeling, though - I have that voice too. You've got to
ignore it, and if you're really worried, get a (good) beta reader who can help you with stuff. Not because
I think you're probably a bad writer - bad writers don't think they're bad writers. I just firmly believe that every
single person needs a beta reader, and it actually helps your confidence, rather than hurt it. It should, at least.


11. LOL! That's actually really awesome. And you're not alone - I have two friends who write their brother and sister
characters with full knowledge that if anyone wrote fics for the book, the brother and sister would be shipped. They
can't wait to read it.

19. You can be a BNF and still be a sane person. :) Plus, I don't know that fandom but a lot of the time, BNFs are okay as
long as they don't expect everyone to know who they are and all that crap.

Re: 4, 11, 19

[(Anonymous)]

11. I can't wait to see about people who insist that they have "proof" for their ship,"right here in the book"! (and they'll be probably right) XD

[revanchists.livejournal.com]

Totally random, but I noticed how we're gonna reach the 200 secret posts tomorrow.

Neat.

I LIKE SIXES TODAY

[drmoonpants.livejournal.com]

6. >___> YES ♥ I mean... I mean, I always feel sort of obligated to denigrate and mock my love of the Xeno-games, so as to pre-empt all of my friends who are too cool for them and don't like, you know, reading in-game databases for six hours, and they can be pretty pretentious and awkward, but GOD DAMN IT THEY KNOW WHAT I LIKE AND THEY GIVE IT TO ME SO GOOD WHEN IT COUNTS. The vast majority of moments I've found most passionately affecting in video games, when I look back on it, have been in Xenogears and Xenosaga. LAME? MAYBE. DON'T CARE.

lol, tl;dr, me

16. I agree with others who have commented re: lololololololol

26. ...agreed, to my vague surprise and embarrassment! Although I would add a caveat of "and if the ones there are did not generally end up being badly mishandled," although maybe you've covered that with "non-stereotypical" and "genuinely likeable." (Here I am thinking of season 7 Willow on BtVS. >_-)

Re: I LIKE SIXES TODAY

[dreadpiratekurt.livejournal.com]

26. Word pie.

That's all I have to say, really.

[faceup.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with you. I too prefer action and violence (although not series with excessive amounts) over drama and romance. I find the latter a bit boring at times... so you're not alone!

[thejennabides.livejournal.com]

#22 - No, of course there's nothing wrong with enjoying shounen anime and disliking shoujo. But I'm unclear on what you mean by "deeper meanings", since there is action anime that involves little more than speed and/or violence; and on the flip side of the coin, I think that there is a lot more going on than slapstick humor and cute faces in at least two of the shows you mentioned (I don't recognize the first one and can't speak to that). I'm not trying to get you to give them another chance; I'm just saying there's meaning in humanity and human relationships, too.

Would your friends really turn on you if you tried introducing them to a new anime? You don't have to start with something bloody; surely there's a thought-provoking anime that is still "pretty" enough for them? It's hard to make suggestions since you didn't mention anything that you do like, but I'm sure you could find something. Good luck.

#2.

I'm really sorry. Being online has been a bit of a chore for me, and I've been avoiding it as much as I can except for certain things here and there. I'm also pretty bad at commenting due to the fact that my internet times out a lot, so I get frustrated (especially with DA).

But I'm really touched and flattered, and hope when I return to drawing, I can gather enough confidence to reply to comments. This secret made my day!

Also... um. Crushing's fine and stuff... just know that I'm in something of a long-term relationship? ^^; I'msorryIdon'twantanydramaonthatsubjectifwedotalk!

[kurachu.livejournal.com]

Can I crush on you like a little sister? +_+

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

4. I've had that. I tell the voice to STFU before I make it read Artemis's Lover.

11. A dream shared by many writers. ♥

22. Um...do you go out killing and maiming people? Then no, you're not a homicidal psycho for liking action and violence in your anime. Why would your friends think otherwise?
