additional questions: What are your five favorite things about your fandom?
Sailor Saturn (and her related plot arcs) Canon yaoi and yuri that doesn't make me want to blow my brains out Seconding, "death as a treatable condition" Interesting and pretty characters Overarching themes of redemption, forgiveness, and love
What are your five least favorite things about your fandom?
Not enough hot men, means het is rather thin on the ground. Seconding Oscar, and adding Great Red Serpent and Robert Tsunai (ugh, the memories) Betrayal fics (the Inners and Mamoru turn on Usagi! She runs off to the States and suddenly turns kick ass and bitchy! Film at 11!) Plot holes the size of gas giants (seriously, Naoko, would it kill you to have some goddamn continuity in your manga? Yeesh, why should I have to bend over backwards to make things all fit with canon when yours is all over the place?) The same types of fics again and again and again (Oh look, ANOTHER AU where Mamoru is the CEO of a company and Usagi is his feisty young secretary. Ho hum.)
Who are your five favorite characters?
Hotaru (DUH. She counts enough for all five) Usagi Setsuna Kunzite Tie between Nephrite and Minako
Who are your five least favorite characters?
Chibi Usa (counts enough for all five) Haruka Rei Mamoru Michiru
What are your five favorite pairings?
Hotaru/Sephiroth (man, this is worth TEN spots right here. I really cannot properly express my sheer adoration for this pairing) Setsuna/Vincent Valentine (the other main FF7/SM pairing in my crossover verse) Usagi/Mamoru (it's so sweet, and so canon) Haruka/Michiru (see above, with more snark) Kunzite/Zoicite (they were awesome in the anime) (HONORABLE MENTION: I like all the Shitennou/Senshi pairings, but my favourites are Kunzite/Minako - for the opposites attract factor - and Rei/Jadeite - because I could so totally see Rei wearing the pants in that pairing :D)
What are your five least favorite pairings?
Chibi Usa/Hotaru (I'm with you 110% on this one) Usagi/Seiya (Um, "miracle romance" anyone?) Usagi/Haruka (See above - heck, I should really just put Usagi/anyone not Mamoru - plus it messes with TWO canon pairings for the price of one!) Ami/Makoto (I know it's popular, but I'm just not seeing it) Mamoru/Rei (look, we had closure, people, I really think the relationship is dead at this point) (Actually, I tend not to like yuri pairings in general so a lot of the pairings in the fandom don't turn my crank much; I'm a het fangirl through and through)
Which character are you most like?
I'd have to say Usagi, in terms of the clumsiness, crybabyness, and general optimism and trust in people. Other people have compared me to Ami as well just because I get good marks in school and am not the most social person.
What is your deep, dark fandom secret?
Given the state of the fandom, I'd say not liking yuri is something I should keep a secret! ;-) Nah, I suppose my deep secret is that, despite what canon and fandom says, I can't help but envision continued tension and difficulty between Hotaru and Haruka (maybe when Hotaru gets older?). I mean, Haruka tried to kill her, and I can't see that ever really going away. It makes me feel a bit of a fandom outcast because while everyone else writes about their wonderful family life, I spend my time writing big fallings out and whatnot that push her much closer to Sephiroth. Though perhaps that's better to be written about in that other meme I have floating around, the one about listing 3 points of personal canon.
