Y HALO THAR...
... i guess it's time to actually post something, and not just lurk in the comment box...
so.
yeah. i'm down in south australia, and would like any rain you guys don't need. i'll pay for postage, seriously. i'm currently studying applied language and intercultural communication at uni (though saying linguistics is so much easier), and i'm planning to study in japan in a year or so. was also studying french for a while, but... eeh, didn't have enough interest in it. besides, i'm much better at jap, and japan is the land of wonder, where everything fun and shiny comes from!
... that's enough about real life. in the world of fandom... i both write and draw, but not very well. and i get really lazy when it comes to finishing stories (i've had a ruroken fic sitting for years), and my drawings never progress from sketches. i support both het, yaoi, and a bit of yuri, but i'm not in the habit of pairing characters together just because they're rivals, or look pretty together *looks hard at the naruto community >_>*
my current poison is gyakuten saiban. i played the first two games within two weeks of each other, bought a US import of the third game before the exams and actually managed to hold off until i had also finished my essays... and i just finished the US import of no. 4 a couple of weeks ago. and, well... WOW. this series is epic. rather than going into a huge rant about why it is so, i'll just say my pairing of choice is narumitsu. which, considering what i said eariler, is quite odd for me. i don't usually ship leading males together just cos they're rivals (like sasunaru, ichiishi, zorosanji, etc). but these two... unlike the others, they actually have a history together, and you see them together when they're not biting eachother's heads off. in that way, i guess it's simliar to my very first yaoi OTP, tezufuji from tenipuri... *reminisces*. i also like gumshoe/franziska, franziska/adrian, larry/maya, diego/mia, ron, desiree... i think larry/franziska would be awesome crack. as for characters in GS4... having just got my head around it, and seeing limited interaction, still haven't made up my mind. i can see klavier having a crush on ema, apollo having a crush on phoenix, can sort of see klavier/apollo... daddy!phoenix and trucy is TOO AWESOME FOR WORDS, and if pearls is added... aaasckjghralsk...
ahem. other fandoms, then.
- tenipuri (you may have guessed that one... tezuka/fuji, atobe/jiroh, inui/kaidoh; but with there being so GODDAMN many characters, you can do almost anything you want... and is there anyone who doesn't like the golden pair?)
- rurouni kenshin (kenshin/tomoe, sano/megumi, enishi/kaoru lolwut...)
- peacemaker kurogane (tatsu/susumu, sano/ayu-nee... i have odd ones for this series...)
- bleach (urahara/yoruichi, ishida/orihime, byakuya/renji, gin/rangiku, shunsui/nanao ... actually, it's been a while since i've read any fics. also don't mind renji/ichigo, ichigo/rukia, hitsugaya/momo, byakuya/rukia...)
- one piece (sanji/nami, zoro/luffy, zoro/robin, usopp/kaya, ace/luffy on ocassion, but just brotherly interaction is win... and while it's so hard to find, hawkeye/zoro is AWESOME.)
- fullmetal alchemist (roy/riza... um. that's about it. well, ed/winny and ed/al are ok, too. and i'm on the lookout for someone to go with colonel(?) armstrong. she's sex on legs. agressive sex, but still.)
- ouran host club (kyoya/tamaki, mori/haruhi, hikaru/kaoru... unfortunately, canon has made all three pairings impossible ='(. please make it better, fanfiction!)
- fruits basket (yuki/machi,
- chrno crusade (chrno/rosette interaction at any level is cool, and i'd like to find some remington/kate, if it exsists. i know, relationships in a convent, how improper =P)
- hellsing (pip/seras, alucard/integra despite how it's never going to happen...)
- hikaru no go (hikaru/touya, isumi/waya
- zelda (well, i can't deny how pretty link/sheik is, but it requires ignoring the laws of the zelda universe... otherwise, link/malon, link/midna (if it's anything above PG, make her human, please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! *has suffered aneurysms due to pictures on the internet)
- naruto (ahem... *deep breath*... naruto/gaara, naruto/hinata, neji/hinata, lee/tenten, shikamaru/ino, chouji/ino, sai/ino, kakashi/anko, kakashi/iruka, kakashi/yamato, suigetsu/karin, and... coughsasusakucough. seriously, this stuff is like poison. and it's sooo hard to find good, and i mean REALLY good fanfic out there, with it being the major het pairing. that being said, i can put sakura to almost any guy. seriously. excepting the senseis (Jiraiya and Orochi incl. obviously), lee (sorry, lee, but you're awesome with tenten), and maybe gaara and naruto (though i read an awesome pwp with naruto once... whew.) and, hell, ino/sakura can work as well. i'll rant about why i like sakura so much some other time, maybe...)
i'm also getting into death note, vampire knight, tenjou tenge, trauma centre, and may consider blood+ (i loved the original OVA, but...)
... well, i think that's enough for now. i'll learn how to create cuts and whatnot, and might tidy this up later. but as for now... i think dad wants to do some work, and needs the comp back.
