7 Uuuuh I don't dislike it because it's bl? I wouldn't have even given it a chance if it weren't bl - I'm just not a fan of fluffy romance. And it's shallow that I gave it a chance because it was bl, and as a result, when it failed to deliver anything I liked, I gave up on it.

I wouldn't have liked Loveless any more if it were a straight couple, and I'm a little unamused that you used that as a defense. In my experience, there's a LOT more of the bl fans who will like a shallow pretty slash couple more than they would a shallow pretty het couple than there are the people who hate bl inherently. So maybe we've had a different experience, but in my experience, fandom is a ridiculously tolerant place, and I get a little annoyed when people start throwing around "you don't understand my love of pretty girly gay men who fall into every straight couple romance novel stereotype!" I'll give you points, however, for only implying that people who don't like Loveless are homophobes, rather than stating it. =)


21 Oh man, I just love them both. Though, I do love Artemis more. I mean, mmm genius. But I would totally jump either of them given half of a chance. Hell, not even that. If either were real, I would hunt them down and slavishly throw myself at them. I think I like the HP books a little more than the AF books, though. Needs more Artemis Fowl books. =( I want moar to drool over, please. Also, needs some movies for me to fangirl over. I don't care if it gets overly commercialized if it gives me more to love. xD

Wow I fail at writing sometimes. I mean it was shallow of me to be initially interested in it because it had omg two men~, not because it was my cup of tea in any way. Not that it was shallow of me to lose interest in it when it failed to have anything in it that was to my tastes other than two guys together, which is seriously not enough to make me read something that is full of story elements I don't like.
