5. Why do people collect things at all? The principle behind it is not any different from building a collection of stamps, or priceless antiques, or original Beatles records, or what have you. Most people have ridiculous, not-at-all useful hobbies they spend way too much money on. Money they may or may not wish they'd spent more wisely later.

Those dolls just have the misfortune of being more than slightly creepy.

13. .... I was introduced to the fandom at large through a Kyoya/Tamaki slash drabblething. Even though slash is nonexistant canonically.. I still owe it to that fic that I got into the manga in the first place. I feel no shame.

18. OH MY GOD. I love these games to death. Before I got them I used to scoff at all the shippers, thinking it was fan delusion...

... and now I see that ... it's like the writers are doing it on purpose. ): all the subtext is THERE. and it's so BLATANT. lasdkjhas I can't help but laugh.

21. Out of curiosity, what did he say it was, then?

re5: my opinion won't change just because the hobby does. If you have an expensive hobby that you spend money on that you shouldn't, it will still make me gape in astonishment that you paid HOW MUCH for WHAT?! I just used dolls as an example cause it's fandom related. Oh and also, yes they do have the added trait of being super creepy. ;P

Ohhh. I thought you were being solely specific to those things. I totally agree, actually. You're talking to the girl who passed on having a Sweet Sixteen because she wanted to save the money for something useful, like getting a car. 8D

In terms of genre, he said it had more in common with the British boarding school novels of Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton than with any of the pillar works of the fantasy genre (Tolkien, Lewis, Haggard).

In terms of Literature, he argued the writing style didn't meet the standards typically associated with works of literary greatness. So while it's a great story, it's not really a great work of Literature.

His opinions. Not necessarily mine.
