(Anonymous) 2007-10-01 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)7 - .........Wow. Um. Okay, so Eragon was cliched as hell and borrowed heavily from Eddings, I've heard as bad if not worse about Twilight, and I know nothing about The Amulet of Samarkand, but His Dark Materials was damned good.
Seriously, though... Nothing will beat Harry Potter?
...my god. I just... I don't honestly know what to say to that. I can't find the words to tell you how... how WRONG you are. You'll miss out on so many things just because people keep making those stupid comparisons to HP just because they happen to both be young adult fantasy novels -- utter bullshit, if you ask me.
I'm so, so sorry for you.
11 - ...I adore that font.
12 - Fuckin' Akatsuki. That shit is why I left the damn fandom to begin with, and reading this secret, if the atmosphere's that bad I'm glad I haven't gone back.
15 - Ahaha, YES. I've had epic conversations with my friends about what alignments and classes our favorite video game characters would be. Trust me, you're not alone.
21 - ...bzuh? I try to find the words to respond to this secret, but every time I do I just end up thinking of this one fic I read where two characters who weren't related roleplayed incest and it was one of the hottest fucking things I've ever read and my brain just kinda stops. *cough*
24 - If I ever got off my lazy ass and published shit, I would so love to see what the fans would do as far as ships and stuff go. Heck, if I knew I wouldn't get my ass sued for making money off of ideas possibly lifted from someone's fic of my stuff, I'd participate in the fandom myself.
37 - Different fandom, same shit. :/

(Anonymous) 2007-10-01 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)It's not that I have something against inherently incestuous pairings, but it's the particular bond between those two. It's DEFINITELY familial, but it's... still fairly unique to them. They have a very interesting and compelling dynamic that makes their relationship by far one of my favorites in the entire series. But too often, I think people who ship them try to sugar-coat their established relationship and ignore that hugely important dynamic, which is what I was trying to say here in the secret.

(Anonymous) 2007-10-01 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)Hm. Perhaps, therein, lies the problem. It gets the point across "to me" when I already know what I'm talking about >_>

"If you want to ship it as an incestuous pairing, that's fine," is pretty glaringly obvious.
