Fandom Laws, Irasto Corolary:
If a book series is big in Japan, there will be at least one union/webring. If you're lucky enough, after a lot of surfing, you'll get to at least one Japanese site with *good* fanart (not only doodles in oekakis, pretty stuff that makes you drool and stare.) And chances are, the links section will have a 70% of nice links.

Guess what I did today. Not study that much (it's not my fault, my concentration falls down with PMS synthoms!) I almost finish the Howl/Sophie fanlisting, and I had a urge for Japanese fanart hunting. My findings for Howl's Moving Castle:

Ruthia
Memewo
Pingos
Piece

Some of them are book-only, and others are both book and anime-based. I like the book ones better, since there Sophie is red-haired like she should be XD

Hmmm, I need to make Howl icons.

Edit: seen today in a community...
Person 2: "Yeah it is!! My fav couple is Sakura and Syaoran, but who doesn't like them?"
Person 1: "Yes!! Everyone love Sakura x Syaoran. They're just SO cute together that you can't not like them. ^_^ *squeal*"
Me: *raises hand* I do not love them... And besides, I don't think it makes grammatical sense to write "can't not", but that's just a hunch.

Of course, I didn't post that as then I would be the wanker. Again.

LOL. I'm not nuts about Syaoran x Sakura either. Eriol x Syaoran = much more amusing. >D

I used to kinda like it, at the beginning, but the fandom made me sick of it. The stupid preteens squeeing with lack of spelling and grammar, the AU badfics, the pink and the petals and the cuteness and the sugar...

...

It's the fandom's fault. Really.

Eriol/Yamazaki is more plausible

Eriol/Yamazaki is more plausible

Yes. Yes it is, actually. >DD

Eriol/Yamazaki is more plausible

I am SO glad I didn't have to be the first one to say that. XD (I was tempted to say that to a couple of E/T rabid shippers once, but I was afraid they'd take it as a challenge...)

I do love S/S, though. In canon (the real one, not TRC). But I can't stand 1)the badfic 2)the fans who think CCS is only about that. On the other hand, I have nothing against the cuteness and the sugar. ^_^

I was fine with the cuteness at first... I don't know, maybe I became more cynical? That, or the fandom got worse and I started hating the cliches. Quién sabe.
