The Ultimate Misha/Gen Ship Manifesto

Feb 16, 2013 02:23

"Misha/Gen," you say. "Well that's ... random."

And maybe it's true. But since when has fandom blinked twice at shipping fictional versions of any two good-looking people? Misha/Gen writers may be small in number, but one look at the fanworks list demonstrates that we're a talented lot. Come join us. You know you want to...

I love this manifesto. The pictures are ridiculously cute (that one with Gen drinking out of the jug is hilarious.) Thanks for collating all the stories as well.

I'm really happy you enjoyed it! I love that picture of Gen. :P

Hopefully the list will be useful whenever someone's going, "I wonder about every Misha/Gen fic on the Internet and if I can look at them all at once," as they surely must. Thanks for writing two of the Misha/Gen fics listed! :DDDDD

This is so comprehensive, I love it. I'm excited to read the Misha/Gen story I'm not familiar with, yay!

Also, the eyeball argument is unexpectedly convincing. Of course people with beautiful eyeballs belong together!

Of course people with beautiful eyeballs belong together!
Thus ensuring that beautiful eyeballs never leave the human race!

I'm really happy you like it, and that I included a fic you hadn't found yet! <3

Obviously all manifestos should contain adorable pictures! yes, Gen and Misha can bond over being glommed onto by Jared. Maybe there is a story where they are a duplex and he is rampant ivy. And ooh, the recs - I have not read all these things, and it's a reminder that a couple of them have been on my "to read" list since they were posted.

Hee, I don't think this manifesto contains adorable pictures so much as consists entirely of adorable pictures.

Also, yes, yes, I want this thing where Misha and Gen bond over Jared glomming onto them both. Maybe they are duplex/ivy. Maybe they start a support group, and Misha makes buttons. "I Survived Jared." "Yes, I'm a Jared Glom-ee. Ask Me How."

I am happy that I listed some things you hadn't found yet! Yay!

The world needs more Mishavievalecki. Just sayin'

You'd be surprised by how little convincing I need on this point. Hopefully, this manifesto will do something to highlight the urgent need. :)

Oooh, thanks for this! There's some awesome stuff here. It's just a pity that the big, meaty fics are all J2 with M/G in the background while all the M/G stories are all mostly small and cutesie (which isn't a bad thing, mind, I just like variety.)

You're welcome!

I think it's hard to devote 20k of time and effort to a rarepair, especially one that's fairly new (all of the Misha/Gen main pairing fics have been written in 2012 and 2013). If I ever get around to finishing them, I do have a couple of angstier Misha/Gen or Misha/Gen/Jared that should wind up in the 5-10k range, and I keep hearing about a Misha/Gen/Jared longfic in the works, which will be astoundingly amazing whenever it appears. Just give it time! :)
