LJ fails me again
Apr. 8th, 2008 10:42 amUsing LJSeek to look for fanworks about semipopular pairings in relatively large fandoms by just searching for their names is proved to be unsuccessful these days.
Why, you ask? All I get are roleplay results. No, see, I want fic and fanart of them, not random threads in RP games I don't want to get into, and sometimes aren't even that shippy or it's just another random character sending one of them a PM or it's a goddamn "dressing room" thing (nothing wrong with DRs, but I like to read something more substantial).
...I guess I should make my query something like "A/B fanfic fanart". I really didn't want to after the trauma of googling (where half the results were people bashing it or squeeing over it at their blogs or boards) because I'm just sure it can't be that different on LJ. I mean, those were the kind of hits I got at LJSeek besides the RPs. Lame.
***********
Either way, remember when I explained my fandom definitions? I thought of a new one while roleplaying Klavier.
Also, I suddenly have a crossover crack pairing based on this! :D

Pull a Rondart:
It's what happens when I should know the pretty, elegant guy with glasses I'm drooling over is the Local Mastermind of Evil. And yet, I don't realize it until the main character confronts him. I never know if I'm slow on the uptake or it's my Pavlovian reaction to the eyecandy what makes me blind to the BLATANT OBVIOUS. It hurts even deeper when he's the local evil in TWO OR MORE arcs because they're just rubbing salt in my wounds. (Incidentally, I'm not into Teh Ebol or wannabe-evil villains.)
Named after evil boy scout Kyle Rondart from Tsubasa RESERVoiR CHRoNiCLE.
Reverse Rondart:
When the pretty guy with glasses looks like he's evil or at least downright cruel, but in the end he happens to be quite a nice person if you ignore a couple of quirks.
Handbook definition of Reverse Rondart? Eriol Hiiragizawa ♥ Kyouya from Ouran is a minor-scaled example as well. And what about Van Hohenheim?
