I am the last person on the internet to do this meme
...okay, probably not by a long shot, but it's definitely hit a good chunk of my flist by now. I wanted to do it days ago, but today I actually have spare time to interact with the internet. (Vacation woo!)

Anyway. Most recently from

redbird, I think, if we're tracing the stack?

Pick a fandom of mine and I'll tell you my....

One True Pairing Ship:
Canon Ship:
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
"I dabble a little" Ship:
"It's like a car crash" Ship:
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
"When all is said and done" Ship:

This will be interesting. I am not sure how often I have anything like an OTP. ^^

	Apparently the fandom is large enough for ship wars! Or so I was told by the barely-literate person that chewed me out on FF.net for writing Orha/Serina angst. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... that's wonderful. What ships are warring? Or do I want to know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm pretty sure it was Orha/Amila vs. Orha/Serina. It was hard to tell. The gist was that...

...SPOILERS FOR MAGNA CARTA GO HERE...

...nobody cares about Amila's stupid sister Reith (when in fact I was writing about Serina...) because she's just a dumb bitch who should've died anyway and it's not cruel of Amila to let her live. To which I say "yes, you can kill her or you can lock her up for the next eighty years and neither of these options is more or less cruel than the other, really."

END MAGNA CARTA SPOILERS

(Ahem, spoiler-marking for folk like

laylah who might not have got there yet...)

But yeah, our fandom is big enough for character bashing and ship hate! Who knew?

	...it seems like that person is confused more than anything. I mean, it's been a while since I played the endgame of Magna Carta, but at least I can keep the characters straight. >_> (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It read, to me, like straight-up character bashing...but it was an anon review on the Pit, so. Grain of salt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cadence 2008-07-28 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	Well, yes. That too. But it sounds like they were convinced they were bashing Reith, which. Um. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I mean, I have no idea. The so-called thought processes of such fanthings often evade me. ....I was kind of pitifully glad that someone actually read my MC fic, though XD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...which reminds me that I never left you a comment for that fic, I think! -_-;;;; FAILS AT LIFE (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	awwwww, no you don't! hugs, pets I assumed you were busy or that it was not your pairing, actually ^_^; (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

...Well, I have been busy, but I read it, and it is not my pairing, I suppose, but I suspect that's just because lack of interaction with anything like a fandom has left me fuzzy on the relevant backstory. And it was Magna Carta fic, and well written and bittersweet, and I totally meant to leave you a comment because the fandom is tiny.

So yes. EPIC FAILURE on my part. >_>

	revels in commentary, however late! :) Yeah, Magna Carta kills me because I'm used to the ridiculous plethora of information available for any given FF fandom, and to not have that makes me ever so confused when I try to deal with other fandoms. (Reply to this) (Parent)
