W00t! Links!! Ooh!! And PR0N!!! Aaah, it makes my tiring day at work seem all the more better when I return home.... :D

Hehe. Thanks so much! You have no idea how much you helped me out here, finding just this much for me. I'd seriously found like *two* pics and that's it! I wanted more! So, yayz! I'm happy now. :3
Ooh! And I didn't think about Marco with characters from other teams. Found anything else interesting besides Marco/Harao? (While it does sound like it would be a very charming pairing, that's just a tad too much expensive-looking suaveness in one setting for me.......though now, against my better judgment, I'm curious to see how that would work out.) I honestly wouldn't mind seeing him paired with Hiruma, even though I normally ain't a big fan of Hiruma pairings. But I can see them working. They seem to respect one another's cleverness. Marco even considered himself similar to Hiruma. *ponders the possibilities* Hmmmm....

And it makes me happy too, knowing there are others who've become fond of Hakushuu. :3 Hopefully, there'll be enough of us soon that there *will* be some English fics for Marco, Gaou, et al......Be sure to let me know if you spot any before I do. I'd love to read 'em. ;)
....In the meantime, I'm gonna try my damnedest to translate some of the fics currently available with one of my Japanese programs. Don't know how successful that'll turn out though. -_-;;

Not a problem. ^_^ I'm all about sharing the Dinos love. As to other pairings... Well, I'd love to see Marco/Hiruma (or vice versa), but so far the closest thing I have is this mafia-esque picture of Gaou blocking Hiruma as he's walking away from Marco, who's leaning on an open car door. It seems like I've seen one or two pictures of Marco and Kid, but as of yet, the only people I've found actual PAIRING art (rather than just gen art of two characters) of Marco with are Gaou and Harao.

I'd love to find fanfiction, but unfortunately, you can draw random pairing pictures without having to do much work to justify, but writing takes much more work, and we really just don't know enough about Marco yet. I may write something on him someday (I have a few little ES21 ficlet things), but probably not unless/until we get some backstory on him. I'm kind of sad that Maruko turned out to have a somewhat tense relationship with Marco and Gaou, and want to know more about her and why she's there if she doesn't like Marco's methods. I was a total Gaou/Maruko/Marco OT3er until those chapters came out. Here's to more Hakushuu backstory! I want to see younger-Gaou.

I'd also love to know if you turn up any decent fanfiction via your translating, so feel free to let me know, too. ^^

Oooh! Please share the mafia-esque pic of the three of them!! It sounds very interesting. :D And if you've got any of the Marco and Kid pics on hand, I'd like to see those, too.

It would be difficult to make a story about the Dinos with as little as we know about them. The fic would have to be very much about the current storyline with no mentions of the past, which in and of itself is incredibly hard to do. It *can* be done, but it's not an easy feat. Plus it's much more difficult to make the story entertaining without mentioning the past. Because we all know, half the time, hearing about what happened to a character in their younger days is part of what makes that character so intriguing. You lose that, you lose something that helps grab a reader's attention.
*shrugs* But even so, there's still stuff to write about for them. One example = Seibu just got defeated rather soundly by Hakushuu. As we've found out, while Marco does use brutal tactics, he can be sympathetic (in a coy way, but still) and sends flowers to his victims. A story could be written about him visiting one of the injured players, with flowers in hand. Kid, maybe? Or for Gaou's own person entertainment (if he tagged along), Riku? And in that, there's endless results of what could happen then. :3
.......Damn, now that I've thought about it, I really wanna read a story about something like that. But I know I'll ruin my interest in it if I wrote it myself. >.>;

But to make things easier for Dino ficcers out there, and because I'm just helluva curious to know, I hope we do get some Hakushuu flashbacks soon. How did Marco and Gaou meet? Why are they doing what they're doing? Or does Christmas Bowl hold any importance at all to them? How does Maruko factor in on all of this? I want to know! And no, I don't wanna wait until next week for the answers, Inagaki-sensei!! *throws a tantrum* But yes, a younger Gaou would be fun to see. :3

I'll let you know how the translating goes. I just started and already I'm running into some bumps, so I don't think it's going to be as easy as I hoped. ^.^;
Ooh! Btw, friending you. It makes me happy when I get to fangirl with someone over favorite characters. :3

I'll continue this conversation with a post over on my journal so we don't clutter up this meme with fangirling. ^^; I'll post some pictures up over there shortly.
