Since the carpet!book was leaked, yup.

20. I THIRD THIS MOST AMAZING IDEA. Please anon, share. ;.;

I empathize with you. I had a similar situation, where the person desperately wanted me to go with them on everything even if I was low on sleep. I thought I was being a good friend, and I was even offended when people told me this friend was greedy and self-centered. But one day the person found a "better" friend, and told me off for not being good enough, even though I sacraficed whatever I was capable to even. I even broke up with my boyfriend for insulting them. If I were you, I'd gradually weed this person out of my life altogether, or keep it sparse. It sounds like the sort of relationship that would eventually wear you down and take it's toll.

YES.

4. Me too, strangely. But it had absolutely nothing to do with the book and EVERYTHING to do with me ranting about the book on my LJ, to which a friend replied "Ohay I know the fandom's scary but try reading shoebox_project you might like it," and now I am completely incurable.

I still don't even like the books so much, but dabbling in the areas of fandom that aren't completely terrifying is really not so bad.

4. Well, while it certainly was fun [like when the seven book was about to be launched, I'd never had so much fun with another fandom ever], there were times when the wank just made you want to run out of fandom. After OoTP I had to take a time out because I felt the wank was ruining the books for me.

11. It is creepy.

20. Now you got me interested.

12. I believe that Dr. Girlfriend's hotness transcends all sexual orientation.

[the-beanmaster.livejournal.com]

1. I AGREE.

18. I BELIEVE IN YOU.

Seriously, though, I wish I could have the GAR Kamina has, just with more patience. Which is contradictory, but yeah.

[klytaemnestra.livejournal.com]

11. That stuff always creeped me out. What's worse is how some people treat it like real art ... it's not. It's photomanipulation and often poorly done photomanipulation at that.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

12. DR. GIRLFRIEND FTW. Oh yes.

[fairyfey.livejournal.com]

8. ♥♥♥ I fangirl him so hard.

10. It's not all crack. There are a lot of serious and interesting plots.

[allira-dream.livejournal.com]

20. You know you wanna share~ ♥

1. Have more confidence! I think pretty much anyone who takes pride in their OCs will feel a twinge of pain at the idea of them being like someone else's character, but keep in mind whoever witnesses your character only knows as much as what you show them. Ask yourself: are they REALLY like that character? Did you, infact, make a mimicry of someone else's work? Which is also nothing to be ashamed of, but it might mean you're not letting the character be who they are. WHICH might sound a little crazy, I don't know. But to me it's not possible to go and 'change' characters, once you've really found the character. They are who they are. Certainly, you can write them different, but it's... a lie then, right? Instead of trying to change them, why not find out more about them? Any character, from any movie, novel, anime, manga or even real life, looks like someone else from a far enough distance. There's no shame in that, it's just impossible to avoid. But as you zoom in on them; their mannerisms, their look, their opinions, their mentality, preferences, outlook on life, past, present, future should make them different, make them who they are. Have confidence in that, love that and you'll never have a reason to 'change' anyone again.

Characters are like people in a way, it's easy to relate one person to another, but that doesn't mean they're really anything alike, and there's no reason for them to change their clothing on their walk to make that more apparent, because in the end they're just making themselves look more like a completely different person.

9. o/

11. ....that does look creepy. However, 'just draw' isn't an option for some people, and photoshop is! And the actors are visual representations of the characters. Additionally some people probably find real people more appealing than drawn ones. So...

13. RP somewhere else instead =\

15. I enjoyed ranma 1/2 and for some reason never mentally classified it as a harem anime even tho it clearly is. Also, that whole paragraph about the horrible misrepresentation of women makes me wonder if get get all self righteously pissy over things like Fushigi Yuugi or. Hell. Any anime ever where men are emasculated or made nothing but mindless sex fiends.

18. o/

20. ....who were the characters?

22. I'm not sure a genuinely kind person would enjoy treating others badly under an anonymous guise. Maybe you're just a regular semi-sadistic person who can't be a pretentious asshole to people's faces? There is a quote I saw the other day that went something like "You character is what you are when no one else is looking".

[fairyfey.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. I actually like SBP a lot more than the actual books.

[ambiance.livejournal.com]

11. ... not very opposed to RPS at all, but i do find those manips rather creepy somehow.
18. INSERT OBLIGATORY AGREEMENT TO A SECRET HAVING TO DO WITH MY ANIME CRACK OF THE MOMENT HERE <3

seriously, though. he might just be one of my favorite characters in anime, no matter how obscure this fandom may turn out. i kinda wish i was like him too.

Thanks. I think designing the secrets is the funnest part, haha.

Also, burningmoth seems to have filled you in on where the vagina part originated from. Those centipedes are one of the bajillion humorous wonders of the internets. :D

13. Unfortunately that's easier said than done :\

That is horrifying! And explains part of it, but I don't see how the main girl in Howl's Moving Castle is a Mary Sue, if that's what she's suggesting...
