Fine, let's try this again, providing possibilities and couples I CAN rant about. In the end, I have four days to look for images and text, which is no good. My volumes are at home, also. And in some cases, I'd just rather make a long, legal essay after free month is over. So I summed it to this:

ETA2: Nevermind. I can't write manifestos. Sigh. (Vote if you want anyway, though.)

[Poll #934704]

ETA: No, the checkbox part of the poll is NOT an either/or question. You DON'T have to vote no if you voted yes in the other manifesto. You can vote two noes or two yes. Go on, voting against Kohza/Vivi because it's not your fandom or Clow/Yuuko, and I won't count your opinion.

If you take a look at my answers, you'll never guess I'm a CLAMP fan LOL XD Not that I wouldn't like to read your Clow/Yuuko or Eriol/Kaho essays, but right now I'm more interested in knowing more of your opinion about other pairings you don't talk about that much, like Kohza/Vivi (<3) or Ayame/Mine, I suppose ^^u

(Agh, why did I mention HIM? I can't look it up right now because TAFL doesn't load for me, but I'm sure there's still no fanlisting for Kohza x__x)

Icon!!!

ARGH! You did NOT say the F word and Kohza in the same sentence!

Estefanía keeps pushing me to apply for Kohza. But then I keep noticing the other ones from Alabasta lacking (which are, like, ALL of them), and I know in my heart I'll apply for half of the population. Not even CARUE has one, man. He should have one... and Cobra, and Pell, and Chaka, and Igaram, and...

I'd love to see you write a Clow/Yuuko manifesto, but I think waiting (indefinitely...) for the Mokona = Modoki translations would be better. More juicy details to interpret, and everything.

And I can't believe I'm the first one to vote for Eriol/Kaho.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I voted for that one as well, but I'm checking on the flist first. I've seen several incomplete manifestos, after all. However, yeah... I'd better wait. But if Aishuu doesn't feel like it when we have all the metacanon (HA! I wonder when), we'll have to make a decision about which one of us should write the manifesto :P

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

I don't think writing an incomplete manifesto is a bad idea on its own, but I know you're a perfectionist like me ^_^ Besides, the metacanon is already out... just not translated. Gaah.

I wonder why didn't anyone translate it, after Jamie stopped. There can't be just one person interested in doing it.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I think I remember she and Chibi Yuuto were going to make it a project at CLAMP no Lumiere. However, months passed, she's still doing Kobato with them, and I had no news. I already begged at the ship comm, and I don't dare doing that at the HOLiC comm as well.

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

I don't want to ask at xxx_holic because I don't have scans *and* I don't know Japanese, so... yeah. Just whining, nothing useful to say.

But it really surprises me that no one's done it yet, when we have translations for the drama CDs and lots of minor stuff. Where's the love for this book? D:

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

No buttsex on this one? Dead people? POV of useless pets and not bishies?

I have the scans I made. But I should scan the rest of the book, or at least the text part, before venturing. I could also go to clamp2share, because maybe someone would jump in.

When I'm back home, I'll work on it.

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

Hmm, clamp2share might be a good idea. I hadn't thought of that one.

*waves "dead people can be bishies too" banner*

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

XP I said from the POV of characters who aren't bishies.

But yeah. C2S isn't bullet-proof woe no Duklyon scans... but a lot of people are members.

[kirarakim.livejournal.com]

Ooh Kohza/Vivi I love them. You should do that. XD

And I am excited to see a Ling/Ran Fan manifesto from you

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Oh, I definitely want to, either now or later on in a formal way.

About Ling/Lan Fan... I'm not sure I can make them justice. There are a lot of less wanky fans who could do better and are more involved in the ship. I backed off a bit after the fandom_wank incident.

[kirarakim.livejournal.com]

Aww I am sure you could do them justice.

And as for F_W the only people who would care about that are people you shouldn't care about to begin with.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

But I'm not active in the fandom anymore. I haven't read/written a fic of them in, like, a year. And just the idea of making a note saying "Disclaimer: yeah, I write Lan Fan and not Ran Fan or Ranfun because I feel like it, so don't start with me" tires me already.

It's not because of the people reading the comm who are in fandom_wank. It's just that I'm now an aloof fan who lurks because this fandom wore me out. And as a consequence, now I don't know who writes/draws them well anymore.

[kirarakim.livejournal.com]

Disclaimer: yeah, I write Lan Fan and not Ran Fan or Ranfun because I feel like it, so don't start with me" tires me already

I prefer Ran Fan but I think that all these spellings are correct. I only complain when official translations are inconsistent. XD

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I have a good although stupid reason behind my spelling, besides being the first one I had contact with. It just sounds more Chinese, and the origins of the Beijing Opera (from where the Xinguese ninja masks come from) are in a play about a masked prince called Lanling. I'm just stubborn. And Xinguese spellings make my head hurt, considering how Ling is apparently unofficial on the guides and not the manga. My head @___@

Me alegra que hicieras el poll, porque quería mostrar apoyo hacia el ensayo que eligieras, pero no quise sugerir porque es algo muy personal.

Apoyo la opción de esperar. No te conozco de mucho, pero creo que en cuanto salga el resto del metacanon no te sentirás a gusto con la idea de un ensayo Clow/Yuuko incompleto. ^^U

Por boba di click a "Kohza/Vivi No!". Ý ni siquiera les conozco bien, más allá de lo que leo en tu LJ. Asi que invalida un voto de ahí :S

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Más que incompletitud, es miedo a contradicciones o que haga teorías que me las jodan. Pero hey, que es semana libre y uno puede escribir lo que quiera, no necesariamente un ensayo entero.

Bufff, si yo ya veo gente votando no que ni los conoce, así que...
