Couple of memes and fic talk
Ugh, what a cold day. It seems one of those days... and there wasn't XXXHOLiC #3 in the book stand (ò____ó).
Anyway, there seem to be so much fanfiction goodness these days <3 First,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
laurus_nobilis fry my brain with the couple I've always wanted to write but never did because I was afraid I'd be called a freak (that, and I identify so much with her I was feeling it was Sueish to pair her up with my favorite male character), and written in a beautiful way. Second, butterflydrming takes her turn on the evil Clow/Yuuko world, with a twist. I *loved* it! I was thinking, a few weeks ago, of writing them meeting each other at a magic council, but it was a different thing and a different time. But I digress. And third, the peacewish's version of teenager!Clow is so refreshing.
Anyway... two memes.
1. Select a fandom.
Card Captor Sakura (it's the easiest to critizice)
2. List and describe five ‘odd’ pet peeves you have in fanfiction regarding it. (Odd pet peeves meaning, minor things that wouldn’t bug most people… but do so you.).
- Assuming Eriol/Tomoyo is canon, or at least the only possibility. And now we're at it, making Tomoyo loving Eriol since forever and/or viceversa.
- How fangirls think no CCS fanfiction is complete without SS and ET and fluff. There are other genres and other characters/pairings, you know.
- When they make the characters move in the author's country for no reason at all. Without them learning a new language, they just KNEW it.
- punk!Syaoran, sk8erboy!Syaoran, goth!Syaoran, rockstar!Syaoran; almost always in contrast with popular!Sakura, topmodel!Sakura, singeridol!Sakura, richgrrl!Sakura.
- Homophobic authors who forget, or want to forget, some characters love/loved certain characters of their own sex, for the sake of their OTP.
- Use of dub names. "Sakura loves Li so Madison helps them to be together." Ugh.
- Crossovers with series that have no sense. With the CLAMPverse, that's OK. But a CCS/Inuyasha fic is ridiculous. And there are too many HP/CCS crossovers (I've sinned about that one, but as soon as the trend intensified, I *stopped*)
- Lack of fiction about secondary and/or dead characters.
Eek, those were more than 5 O_o
And the personal one
1. When did you first "friend" me?
2. Why did you first "friend" me?
3. What posts of mine do you like to read the best?
4. What would you like me to write about that I don't?
5. Do you think we would be friends in real life?
6. How often do you read my journal?
7. What do we have in common?
8. Will you post this in your journal so I can answer?
9. Do I actually resemble any fandom character in your eyes?
