The first two drafts of this post were somewhat middle of the road wanky. I was whining at anxietygrrl with my half-assed post and she said, "You need to just go all out balls-to-the-wall with your wank one of these days."

So. *deep breath*

I am fucking SICK AND TIRED of the goddamned Prince of Tennis fandom because people cannot be fucking considerate or have such huge fucking chips on their shoulders they've turned themselves into fucking martyrs or they're just completely lacking in any sort of basic human decency. I mean, I LOVED this series with all of my HEART AND SOUL and certain factions within the fandom are RUINING IT, completely and utterly TARNISHING my love for this series! And that makes me SO FUCKING MAD that I could just... just... just kick small puppies or something! *rages*

And I've tried my DAMNDEST to be polite and helpful and tolerant, but I can't keep getting sand thrown in my face day after day and so I am going to take my fucking ball and GO HOME. Or at least part of my ball. OTHER sections of the fandom have been really nice and I like promoting them as much as I can, but there are other sections (namely the TezuAto fandom that, despite the influx of SOME new--and wonderfully darling--blood has become a raging cesspool of intolerance and hate and all things that make me RUN from a pairing because, dammit, I want to SPARKLE over the things I love, not rage and snarl at other factions) that make me INSANE and thus I want absolutely no association with them anymore. All TezuAto links have been CULLED FROM THE SITE! I want absolutely no assiciation between myself and them EVER AGAIN!

I hope you're all happy. What could have been something grand and glorious has turned into fucking ASHES because of the way you handled things. No, on second thought, I hope you're NOT happy because you've certainly made ME unhappy. I hope you all burn in hell. And I almost NEVER say that, certainly not in public, but THAT'S HOW FAR YOU'VE PUSHED ME.

Oh, and Fleeting Fancies has been updated! ^_^v






Amanda: Fandom people have what I like to call Internet Aspberger's. They miss the obvious social cues.

Is it any wonder I love and adore her?

*grin* Now you know how very seriously we all take you. Are you scared of us yet? ^___^

So, uh, how about that ShishiToriHiyo, eh?

Hehe, actually we do share something there. I like Ohtori about as much as you adore Tezuka. I love ShishiTori as my main Ohtori pairing, but ToriHiyo makes my knees weak, too. I think that helps me see how you can feel just as strongly about TezuFuji and TezAto. Sometimes, it's easier to understand how someone feels when you're in the same situation. ^_~

*laughs* Just a little? (Honestly, I have trouble with the idea that anyone would take me seriously, because... uh, hello? Dippy fangirl here. ^_~ What's to take seriously? XD)

*nods* Exactly--it's easier to understand when you have similiar feelings for another pairing. And it would be like if some of the ToriHiyo fans started sniping at the ShishiTori fans... you love them both, maybe your heart belongs to one a little more than the other, one is certainly more popular than the other, but you genuinely enjoy them both... and it's really frustrating to be in the middle. And I'm totally with you on the Ohtori love. After Ohimesame, Ohtori is, hands down, my favorite Hyoutei character. Has anyone written good ToriHiyo fic? *hasn't been browsing the Hyoutei sections lately*

Remember my friend Jan, who wrote the 13x6 fic? We had a discussion recently on how it was hard for him to understand hardcore OTP people, like me. He was always nice about it, but he never really knew how I felt until he became an OTP fan over a specific pairing. I was pretty happy when he told me that.

Good ToriHiyo fic. Hm. Do you need it to be happy fic? My best friend writes the best Hiyoshi, IMO. If you go to Brand New Days (http://torishishi.com), look for Ruebert. I'd actually recommend his gen story, Manifest, if you'd like to see how he views Hiyoshi. Rue is very concerned with keeping Hiyoshi as close to canon. I also love his Ohtori. He's not the super sweet guy that many people write him as. For me, his Ohtori is right up there with Emily Ravenwood's, and I love her characterizations of Ohtori and Shishido.

I'd also say to read Mcat and Yume (in my Ohtori/Other section). Monnie's ToriHiyo is pretty good, too. But I still think Rue's is the best. ^___^
