(srsly just read through ALL YOUR TENIPURI FIC EVAR without stopping to leave reviews or even really to eat) zomg, you're writing more.
Kabaji in this one was wonderful! (I definitely think he has hidden depths.)
I also liked that Choutarou got his head around the whole situation before Shishido did. Whoo, Choutarou! And the way you write Atobe actually makes me like him! (I never liked him in the anime...)
...I'd be really impressed if you actually stopped to read through all my TeniPuri fic... I look back at that year of my life and go "HOW did I pass my classes again?" *laugh*
I'm so happy you all seem to like Kabaji--I neglect the poor fellow so badly (the which you no doubt know, if you've doing a marathon reading. ^^;) And hey, Choutarou's a smart cookie. And, as he said in Ki wo Mite... he suffers from fewer masculine-insecurity issues than Shishido, I suspect. Must be the height. ^_~
*sheepish* Atobe really isn't very likable in the anime, to be honest. (He has his amusingly squishly moments in the manga, now and again.) So he's rather OOC, as far as canon goes... but I find a redeemable bastard much more enjoyable to write than just a plain darned bastard, if you know what I mean. ^^
I'm actually planning to read all your stuff!!! And I already done the first step which is collecting your Hyoutei Roommates Arc. hehehe... galing nyo po!
hai hai! when i first read your work, i didn't think i was reading something wrote by fellow Filipino. and the whole thingy referring to Philippine customs makes me think that you are just used on coming to our country... but i read that you're most common word is "naman"... so ^___^ very proud of you gurl!
But I DID read through it all. Or at least everything I could find through your tags/memories and random poking around. I especially liked the HiyoMari... Mari is love, and you need to write her a happi endo story. Absolutely must! [/end demand]
I think your Atobe makes sense, mostly because you're narrating him from inside his head, or from inside the heads of people who are around, rather than seeing him in a "go win it all!" merciless game or tournament setting. It's interesting to have a sympathetic portrayal of him. And Kabaji rarely appears in any of your fic, except as a side note (as in, Kabaji was doing x, and then he disappears), it's nice to have you mention him here, in a kickass awesome role. (After all, you did such a good job with Atobe...)
I think Choutarou's height has a lot to do with it. That and his violin... and killer serve. Pardon my scrambled post -- it's totally finals right now, and I'm so totally not done.
Eck! Good luck on your finals! Finals = Evil; fighto! Win, win!
Kind of funny about Kabaji--I think part of the reason I don't write him is that I just don't know what to do with a character who doesn't have any form of dialogue whatsoever, and whose tennis is, well, being a perfect copycat. ^^; I mean, Hiyoshi doesn't talk, but at least he has a facial expression, a motto, a history, and crazy tennis.
(And, well, okay, I admit it, I'm shallow, and Kabaji's not as sweet on my aesthetic sense as the other boys. *blush*)
I guess Kabaji's tennis is pretty tame for an anime where people dress like each other and switch off, glow yellow, or have serves that defy the laws of physics.
I'll agree with you that Kabaji isn't much to look at. He's really good at being a henchman, though, and that takes specialized talent.

In any case, thank you so much! ^^
