Ugh, one of the reasons I don't frequent ff.net anymore. D= But it's fanfic - people ship whatever they want, even if it rapes canon.

lol'ed @ the "a higher chance of World peace than Tsukasa getting over Tsukushi". So true.

Poor canon... D: If it lived back where I came from, it'd be disowned for "shaming family"...

xD And we all know World Peace isn't happening anytime soon... I can just imagine people getting into fights over who is more peaceful.

... Actually, no wait... "Muslim"s have already done that. "Behead anyone who says Islam is Violent" makes me wonder How butter-fingered their parents were. (And I'm Muslim e_e)

bleh.

The thing about a lot of fanfic writers is that if they don't like a character or ship, or can't look past a character's surface(such as Tsukasa's temper), they'll just completely rewrite canon to suit their needs.

Which is why I avoid fanfic like the plague except for rare occassions, even when recced by people whose judgement I trust.

also, there must be something in the internet water...ranted about fanfic a couple days ago then got directed to two OTHER rants in the week or so before, one of which had almost the exact samething. Maybe the universe is getting feup with badfic.

PS-I adore your Ed/Winry layout.

First or all: OMG! Kyoyuya on your icon xD-- That brings back memories.

Secondly, yeah. I've lost count of how many fics there are with an abusive Tsukasa, a wimpy Tsukushi, and Rui who magically comes in sweeps her off her feet... *shakes a poor fish* SACRILAGE!

Most fanfiction tend to make me depressed D:...

o.o Ah... might you have links to those rants?

And, thank you xD. Haha, I've had that thing up for like a year (too lazy to make a new one).

*glares at LJ for eating comment*

*goes with short version cuz it's bedtime*

I have many Kyo/Yuya icons *diehard shipper*(there are PAGES of SDK entries at my LJ from my going nuts and reading future volumes a couple months back)

Here's my rant: http://meganbmoore.livejournal.com/241064.html#cutid1 ...It(and really everything under my fanfic tag) is basically proof of why I should never be allowed to even think about fanfic...even summaries set me off. BTW, it was a "brain goes pop" moment for me, as most of my rants tend to be(people have their own ideas and opinions, I get that, but STOP MESSING WITH CANON in favor of them. Sheesh. Ship whatever you want, just stop butchering other characters to do so.)

One of the rants is mentioned in the comments, but another I was linked to in IMs and I can't remember where it was.

You said it right. I hate when people attack characters they don't like. I don't mind if you do some bad things to certain characters, but I don't like when you change how they act because they don't like them. I hate it when people make characters act differently than how they normally act period. Even if the person isn't deliberately trying to hurt a character's image.

I don't really read fanfics because 90% of them are bad. It's hard to find good ones and it's never the same as reading the manga.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is honest about what they think about things. I hate when someone asks for comments on a fanfic, picture, cosplay, ect. and then get upset when you're honest about it or when everyone who responds isn't honest about it.

I wrote a rant about that in one of my reviews. the whole "Makino is a prize pig", Domyouji is an abusive bastard who hurts her (funny, I see it other way around mostly in the manga...), and Rui is the perfect dashing prince charming who'll come to her rescue or try to move in on her while tsukasa is away on his four-year-trip. >_>...

I have found vewy few HYD fanfics that're good, and they're mostly one-shots, by Maho-chan, or never frickin' update D:. Waah.

Oh, I love conctrustive criticism. It helps you improve. I always ask for it, and give it in return. My friend told me that someone once told her not to go to friends for art advice, but that it was different with me xD. I strive to keep it that way.

Like those Abusive!Tsukasa and Wimp!Tsukushi fics with DashingPrinceCharmingSuddenlyOOC!Rui.

I wonder if these people actually like the characters (he ones they do not turn into their own OC anyhow)...

ah... i understand the torture..

this line just crack me up: There's a higher chance of World peace than Tsukasa getting over Tsukushi. ---> so so so true!

you mentioned that you have 6476735 fanarts for hyd but can't post them due to dead pc? *bawl* i love your icons! *bawl even more* i feel the pain.. i feel the pain. I also lost a lot of stuffs due to a HD crash. I almost could not get back my HYD2 in HQ but luckily an angel was willing to upload the episodes..eventhough each one is easily 1gb in size...

ceruleansan April 27 2007, 06:02:51 UTC
Thank you xD.

Well, think is I have them all scanned and uploaded on my storage site... but I don't wanna colour them on any computer but mine, so... :/. I'm supposed to get a new computer in May... but knowing my "no-tomorrow" father...

D: And it sucks because I wanna burn the HYD episodes onto DVD.

o.o 1GB each... yikes!
