"I think there was a recent oneshot with them as jewel thieves? I'll have to look for that one again."

LOL, that was me! Sometimes, if you want something, you have to write it yourself, apparently...

I literally only know of two or three people, including myself, who are still actively writing Howard/Raj.

And yeah, I hate the later seasons and I don't watch the new episodes. But I enjoy the fanfic and hopefully I'll be writing more. Definitely one of those situations where I enjoy fandom/fanon more than the show itself.

But thanks for the shout-out; that totally made my day :D

I will love you forever if you link me to this fic.

It's very short and simple, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. It's sort of intentionally minimalist, not some big long epic thing:

I used to write Howard/Raj, and I used to enjoy it, but Stuart/Raj has grabbed my heart and won't let it go. It's truly weird because it's like the one pairing ever that has made it really, really hard to ship either of them with anyone else.

Um...good for you, I guess? I'm not sure what the point of this comment is. I like Pairing X, you like pairing Y, life goes on.

I'm well aware that H/R is no longer popular and that other pairings have supplanted it. You don't have to rub it in.

Nonono, that wasn't my point at all! I was just saying maybe that's one of the reasons there's less Howard/Raj out there? I wasn't at all trying to rub it in. I'm so sorry!

[personal profile] lyriel 2014-04-18 01:49 am (UTC)(link)

I apologise if I came across in a bitchy way; I was not having a good day. I'm very disappointed with this fandom and I guess I'm pretty sensitive about it. I don't pairing-bash or anything like that. Thanks for your response.

This makes me think that maybe I should do Howard/Raj for my 'forbidden fruit' Trope Bingo square. Because I wonder if some people have issues writing infidelity?

"This makes me think that maybe I should do Howard/Raj for my 'forbidden fruit' Trope Bingo square. Because I wonder if some people have issues writing infidelity?"

Yes, I'm sure that's a factor. In any fandom, I'm sure there are some people who just accept canon at face value and go along with whatever the current canon pairings are.

I only read/write AUs or things that take place in the early seasons. I'm not interested in love triangles, infidelity, or H/B. I don't watch the new episodes, and I mostly choose to just disregard current canon.

I regard Season 3 or 4 onward as some type of reboot.

But don't let my negativity stop you from writing ;)

And again, I seem to have given you a rather negative-sounding reply. I'm sorry. This is my OTP and I guess I get worked-up about it :P
