*raises hands* I like AxI and PxS. So I will most likely write it together if I want Pip alive/spirit/whatever inside a story. What do you consider leftover 'ship?

I could give you links to the Rip issues. But is long. Involves Pink shirt debates and Seras bashing due to her boob size.

Yeah, I realized after I wrote that that PxS is a really bad example. Don't get me wrong- if you like AxI and PxS, go for it. But if you (a hypothetical you, of course) put PxS in just because you don't like the thought of Seras floating around to distract Alucard, that would be leftover shipping.

I had a really good example.. but I forgot what it was. Oh well.

WTF? Seras is boobtastic, and we should love her for that, not bash her. I thought the pink shirt was a little odd looking, but meh. It's just a shirt.

LOL. Yes, otherwise Hirano may be a leftover shipper ;P I normally write AxI and PxS when I prefer to develop a plot rather than romantic relationships (since both of those couples are either canon or very likely to become canon. That and the fact, I have never met some AxI fan who feels threatened by Seras, hence the lack of bashing in stories, unlike poor Integral).

I think Enrico x Integral is sadly is a leftover pairing (unless is used as alternative to het smut for Integral, pre volume 6, then Anderson became a more likely choice), this got me when I was a fan of it. Either for Alucard fans who like AndersonxAlucard or AlucardxSeras. There are very few real/unique fans of it (and the ones who really like it, are very 'loyal').

Check devianart journals. You'll see what I mean. Rip fans are all over her being a strong female character (wtf) because of her design basically and criticize Seras being weak because she displays boobs thus she's 'shallow.' Uh. Right. They missed Rip identified with Kaspar for a reason.

Grrr, Integra bashing. That's why I stopped reading AxS very, very early on, which is a shame, because (especially in animeverse) I think it could be written quite compellingly. Has to be all about the mind-fucks though.

It's odd, I never really got into IxM, though the only fic I've read with it was crazy good. But then, I never liked Maxwell very much, so that could be part of it.

WTF!! Are these people completely daft! Some people need to get beaten with the canon stick of justice.

I admit to sneaking AxW references into fics that have nothing to do with AxW. >.<

I probably won't stop doing it, either. >>.<<

Hehe.

And I wouldn't say that I hate Rip, but I loathe fanon Rip. I tend to get around the matter by just not addressing her very often. But, for instance, I enjoyed that little Rip ficlet I wrote for you recently.

Fanon Rip makes me nuts, though.

And number 10? Of course Walter must be mentioned. <3

Oh, that Rip ficlet? Was love. It filled my heart with canon!Rip love.

From what I am hearing about this fanon!Rip, I don't like her either. ::hides canon!Rip::
