Bones

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I knew you'd say Bones as soon as I saw you'd commented.

1. The first character I first fell in love with

Boothe.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now

Cam. I feared I'd hate her and then I loved her from her first scene.

Uhm...I love them all.

4. The character I love that everyone else hates

Uhm...does anyone still hate Bones or Cam?

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer

Inapplicable.

6. The character I would shag anytime

Angela. She I borderline perfect.

8. The character I'd slap

Well, I guess Bones WOULD benefit from it from time to time...

9. A pairing that I love

Boothe/Bones, of course

10. A pairing that I despise

Well...I don't like Hodgins/Angela as much as I'm obviously supposed to, but I don't hate them, either.

Uhm...uh...Jack?(the guy who liked Laura in the last season...an unneccessary addition, but i liked him)

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer

Inapplicable.

Inapplicable

[spaceyplum.livejournal.com]

I'm totally with you on Mildred... I came to accept her but damn if she isn't annoying as hell sometimes.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

You come to accept that she's sweet and means well, but she's just so blasted annoying that I spent s2-5 wondering why we couldn't keep the ever wonderful Bernice. She was supposed to be annoying, bu funny and lovable...she was just annoying and occassionally amusing. But the rest made up for it.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Wuxia. Any one you like or a combination of several.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

1. The first character I first fell in love with

Tang Yu(Chinese Paladin)

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now

Si Lang(Young Warriors-started out whiny, but really grows on you)

3. The character everyone else loves that I don't

Yang Guo(Return of the Conder Heroes-he's ok and pretty cool at the end, but a brat for most ofthe series and there are far cooler and less perfect characters out there)

4. The character I love that everyone else hates

Yuan Chengzhi(Sword Stained With Royal Blood-could occassionally use a smack upsidethe head, but apparently he should be hated for trying to be a good guy and not dumping his girlfriend and running off with the proncess...just because the princess is the prettier girl.)

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer

Little Fish(Handsome Siblings-I loved him for the first half of the series, got annoyed with him at some point, and now I can't really stand him)

6. The character I would shag anytime

Flawless Flower(Handsome Siblings)

7. The character I'd want to be like

Huang Rong(Legend of the Codor Heroes/Return of the Condor Heroes-the most awesome thing ever)

8. The character I'd slap

Ling'er(Chinese Paladin-just a whiny little fairy princess, though she started out sweet and likable)

9. A pairing that I love

Yuan Chengzhi/Qing Qing(Sword Stained With Royal Blood-They are just amazingly cute, and not perfect, which makes them interesting)

10. A pairing that I despise

Xiao Yao/Ling'er(Chinese Paladin-a snotty brat and a whiny princess...*shudders*)

4. The character I love that everyone else hates

Dokugakuji. At least, I've never seen anyone talk about him...but I love him.

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer

Urm...I haven't stopped loving anyone, just started loving more of them.

6. The character I would shag anytime

Kougaiji. After he trimmed the nails.

7. The character I'd want to be like

Clearly you need to preach your Blade of the Immortal loves/hates

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

1. The first character I first fell in love with

Manji(and then Magatsu came back)

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now

Hyakurin.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don't

Makie. I don't dislike her, but her emo that's largely a result of her stubbornness makes it hard to really like her a lot.

4. The character I love that everyone else hates

Uhm...no, I think I'm good there.

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer

Don't think I've stopped loving anyone, just added to the love.

NONE OF THEM. EVER. (There're either too strange,the same gender as me, or doing that gets you killed.)

7. The character I'd want to be like

Abayama. Only, you know, female.

8. The character I'd slap

Shira. But it'd more be a punch to the crotch so I could run for my life...

Hmmm...I don't really have one...maybe Hyakurin/Giichi

10. A pairing that I despise

I have none.

[southerndave.livejournal.com]

New Warriors (and I know you know that fandom because that's where we first met...)

Firestar

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now

Night Thrasher

3. The character everyone else loves that I don't

Alex Power(I like him, but he never should have gone anywhere near the book)

4. The character I love that everyone else hates

Hmmm...I ee little Midnight' Fire love...

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer

Hindsight. Possibly the greatest crime committed by Civil War.

6. The character I would shag anytime

Eeeeh...none, really. I'd date Justice, though(any sane girl would)

7. The character I'd want to be like

Turbo. But when she was cool in NW. Not so big on how she's been in Loners.

8. The character I'd slap

Nova for that whole Larsen-era thing. Like, EVERYTHING in it.

9. A pairing that I love

Justice/Firestar

10. A pairing that I despise

None, really. Though had Nita ever taken Nova back after Larsen made him be such a creep...

[aoimidori.livejournal.com]

has someone said fables yet? XD

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

nope, not yet.

Bigby

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now

Rose. Started out annoyed with her, now love her unconditionally.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don't

Hmmm...dunno...I've never seen love to anyone I don't like, I don't think. Unles people like Goldie.

4. The character I love that everyone else hates

I love Jack and Prince Charming. They both need to be punched in the face and kneed a few times, but I love them.

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer

Hasn't really happened, though I don't think I'm as excited about the Snow Queen as I used to be.

6. The character I would shag anytime

Mowgli.

7. The character I'd want to be like

Briar Rose

9. A pairing that I love

Rose/Blue and Snow/Bigby. I refuse to leave either out.

10. A pairing that I despise

Blackbeard/Goldie...and Jack/Goldie...really, anyone/Goldie...

[chomiji]

SDK, of course!

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to say it.

1. The first character I first fell in love with

Yuya.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now

Shinrei. Didn't like him at all at first.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don't

Everyone seems to love Tokito.

4. The character I love that everyone else hates

More at large than my actual friends, but: Yuya.

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer

None...I rarely stop loving...

6. The character I would shag anytime

*brain breaks* There are so many...

7. The character I'd want to be like

Yuya.

8. The character I'd slap

Kyo for those grabby hands.

9. A pairing that I love

Kyo/Yuya of course.

10. A pairing that I despise

Yukimura/Sasuke if we're going fan pairings. The one canon one I don't care for hasn't come to pass yet in US publications.

[chomiji]

Well, I think all your SDK types were all waiting for each other to do it first!

Heh ... I'm pretty in synch with you about a lot of things. Of course my (1) is Yukimura - he made the series for me when he showed up. I never really loved Chinmei, but he was sort of cute and funny at first ... boy, was I wrong about that! Most of the pairings that I'd enjoy are doomed to failure in the long run ... poor Yukimura. But I could go for Yuan/Akari ...   ;-)   ... I've got a little fic incubating about that - nothing too explicit.

(Goes without saying that I hate Tokito! And Yukimura/Sasuke isn't to think about ... ew ew ewwww!)

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Well...Yuya showed up before Yukimura...I never liked Chinmei though...I mean, I thought he was funny, but didn't like him.

As far as Yukimura/Sasuke goes, fandoms tend to go: "oooo...hot adult guy and cute widdle kid he takes care of...YAOI!"

[chomiji]

I think there are far too many fangirls who look at Sasuke and think "I wish I were him, and had Yukimura to take care of me, oooh! And I'd go on adventures with him and sleep by his side ... and late at night we'd forget that I'm a little boy and ... ."

Fangirls also want to pair everyone up, and as we've discussed before, there simply isn't anyone for Yukimura (and the only person he seriously crushes on - except in the "Dragon" flashback - is Kyo, regardless of whether you consider that just manly admiration or something more amorous ...).

(Why is it that people can see Gojyo's treatment of Goku as big brother/little brother, but go all stupid with Yukimura
and Sasuke? I really think it's because there are other match-ups for Gojyo - either you go almost-canon with Hakkai,
or you take the simplest canon and say "He only likes girls girls girls!")

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Well...Kyo and Kyoshiro...isn't his friendship with Kyoshiro his main motivator through a lot of the series? I don't think, though, that it's amorous in either case...I haven't seen all of his friendship with Kyoshiro, but with Kyo, it's more mutual respectand obsessive need to know who's better.

As far as Gojyo goes...Minekura said in the first volume that the person who's right for Gojyo might not be a woman...Gojyo I easily seeing going any which way that struck his fancy. But yeah, I think the presence of Hakkai and Sanzo helps distract people from Goku/Gojyo thoughts(thankfully) Plus, how could anyone possibly mistake them as anything but brother's squabbling(though I think a chunk of it is Goku picking up on Sanzo's problems with Gojyo and reacting to them, and Gojyo feeding off of that)
