Pairings. We know them, we love them, we draw them, write them, pr0n them, fixate on them. And usually, we label them. Here arises the problem.

Hey, fandom. PICK A FREAKING STYLE ALREADY.

When I can scroll down a single section's list and see Sora x Riku, Axel/OC, AkuDemi, Kaiora, and RxS? It's FREAKING ANNOYING. Especially the latter two ( Read more... )

pairings, formatting

:/ FFN makes it impossible to label the pairings the way I like, such as Axel/Riku. It'd have to be Axel x Riku.

I don't think it matters how it's labeled... either way you're going to click the link if you're at all curious.

"YOU GOTTA BAT YOUR EYES LIKE THIS. YOU GOTTA PUCKER UP YOUR LIPS LIKE THIS."

The teeniest mention about Sebastian x Riku has just rendered me dead. It's not every day that happens. In other words, I think you win. XDD

I have so much hate for the name-smush and it's really EVERYWHERE nowadays. Internet. TV. Whatever. So much hate. Except when we are speaking of Filliam H. Muffman.

Because The Splendiferous Zeppelin Escapades of Filliam H. Muffman would be the best fanfic in the history of all fanfiction ever.

Is it sad that the first thing I thought of when you mentioned Riku/Sebastian was 'Huh. I wonder what kind of merfish Riku would be.' and not 'Oh God the HORROR'? I think I've OD'd on brain bleach.

My biggest pet peeve with pairing names above the 'Kaiora' type name squisking is the pseudo japanese katakana type name squishing. I usually refuse to type them out of sheer principle, which seems to annoy people who insist on calling Axel/Roxas 'Akuroku'.

...At least in this fandom people don't insist on the kana spellings of the characters (like in DeathNote with the Light/Raito debate. Ugh). Otherwise we'd have Zemunasu, Shigubaaru, Zarudin, Vikusen, Rekuseusu, Zekushion, Saikusu, Akuseru, Demikkusu, Rukusoodo, Maaruusha, Rakushiinu, and Rokusasu running about, which would completly defeat the purpose of their names.

ARGH, the Light/Raito debate! His name is Light! In the Japanese, IT IS LIGHT! *foams at the mouth*

...sorry. The katakana crowd drives me nuts, and has since the Alucard/Arucardo debate.

Yes, why not lay a standard first? Who goes on the name first? Seme or uke? Boy or girl? Lass or lad? Lad or donkey or cat or? And please, CUT IT OUT WITH THE PSUEDO JAPANESE NAMES!

In the organization itself, you got a lot of k's there substituting the x's. Plus, you get Sepirotu, Anusemu, Zehanorutu, OKAA-SAN. Just stop. Gah.

Sefuerossu, Ansemu, Zeanooto. ... *nitpicky* DX

But agreed. o.o It's silly to romaji-ify their names. SPOILERS: the Japanese names were as close as they could get to the translated names - which were what they originally wanted. Silly fanbrats. ):

You mean there are fanbrats who didn't know that? LOL, stupid fanbrats! *points and laughs*
