Dear Zexion/Kairi writers,

Many people know that this is one of my absolute favorite crack pairings. To that end, it is nice to see fans of it. However, simply because the pairing is crack doesn't mean it should be butchered and contorted to something that it is not

As someone who likes to write Zexion and Kairi, though not really as a couple, I wholeheartedly agree. Even with their canon characterizations, a good story can be written. Talkative and manipulative nerdscientist and Good-hearted but can kickass girl? I can see a great amount of dynamics that cam be played with right there.

Yeah, I never really figured out how romance became, well, a priority. Not that Sora is immune to hormones, but he's probably got a lot more things on his mind than highlighted in fics.

[anthraxpretzels]

*can, not 'cam'

[dorked]

Exactly! That's what I like about that particular ship, even when written as not really a pairing. It's the potential dynamics that are fun to think about, not the 'omgkawaiidesu' that some people seem to associate with shipping. That, and I like to toy with the fact that they technically both originated from Radiant Garden, but that's neither here nor there. XD

Totally! Besides, friendship is what KH is about, more than anything else. I don't mind romance at all, but when it's prioritized to such a high degree? That's a bit extreme.

[anthraxpretzels]

Always good to find another Zexion fan that thinks he deserves better than 'emo'. And Kairi deserves better than 'bitch', 'emo', 'rabid yaoi fangirl', etc. The fact that Kairi remembers nothing about Radiant Garden is probably going to come into play with that idea, right? XP

Friendship and adventure=OTP forever and ever and ever. I am a registered fluff addict, but would absolutely love epic!adventure fic~

[dorked]

Oh, dude, I made videos about how Zex isn't emo and Kairi isn't a b***h. XD Those archetypes always bugged me, and the yaoi fangirl thing? That's just as bad. I mean, I can see Kairi being alright with Sora and Riku being gay, but rabidly 'shipping' them? Er, no. And yeah, I realize that Kairi doesn't remember RG.

Yeah, same here. I've actually seen one fic that managed to have both adventure and a bit of fluff that was very nice, and the OC in it wasn't just some insert. Stories like those are so rare, though.

[anthraxpretzels]

OCs tend to be a different animal entirely to deal with. On one hand they have to be interesting or if you're just needing a role to fill, do what they're supposed to. But there's always the risk of Sue-ifying them.

Though much love to people who can sneak in Disney/FF characters as 'OCs'. That tends to win so much more in AUs. <3

[dorked]

Agreed, agreed. I'd much rather see new Disney or FF characters introduced than OCs because it's fun to toy with. Frankly, I've always wanted to see Treasure Planet in KH, for example.

[anthraxpretzels]

I've never seen that movie. I should sometime.

I'd sell my soul to see Robin Hood. -nostalgias~-

[dorked]

...Robin Hood would be fantastic, as would some other oldbies. Maybe the Rescuers.

[arizona_jones]

HOLY CRAP YES. *squees*

Treasure Planet in KH would make me revert to a squealing, gibbering fangirl for the entire-- level. Trufax, yo. (Just thinking about it has me going "eeeee~" and grinning, wtf.)

THERE WOULD BE SO MUCH AWESOME STUFF TO PLAY WITH!

(Also, I've been wanting to say-- I love your icons. 8DDD)

[dorked]

YES... I absolutely loved that movie and its concept, and the idea of it in KH is just sweeet. :D Atlantis might be neat, too.

(Aw, thanks. ^^)

[arizona_jones]

...ohgoodlord. You just hit like, both of my Disney loves that are SERIOUSLY under-represented. (And both of which were appearing in the self-insert challenge I got here a while back. >.>;;)

(8DDD)

[dorked]

They so don't get enough love. >: Neither do some older ones, like the Aristocats or the Great Mouse Detective.
