EBAY PEOPLE!
Stop outbidding me on full runs of Cardcaptor Sakura!
It makes Sakura all upset and disappointed! Do you know what happens when Sakura is upset and disappointed? It makes her have a Kurogane moment, and then everything descends into gothic shoujo crack! Too much of that is bad for the brain!
(Seriously, it's the third or so set I've been outbid on. I WILL ONLY GO SO HIGH!)
ALSO!!!
(non-fist-shakey)
While I was at work,prozacparkasked me my opinion about #148 of today's Fandom Secrets. Since she is now logged off and at least one other person here might be interested in it (redbrunja, there aren't any Avatar spoilers in the post) I shall just post it. The secret was along the lines of "I slash m/m because I think the female characters deserve a lot better than what canon gave them." I've seen that a few times before, and just ignoring any other opinions I have on fanon shipping, while I often agree that yes, the girls in fiction could do better and it seems they're just told "Here is the main guy! You must accept him even though he doesn't appreciate you or treat you well!" my reaction to that response to it is always "But, if you object on her behalf, why are you having her twiddle her thumbs while you send him off to have fun?"
(No, really, if you think canon gave her the short end of the stick and you want her to get better and you're going to do a fanon ship, why doesn't she get to go have fun while the guy who doesn't treat her good enough sits there and sulks? Why does he get to have all the fun?)
ETA: I probably don't have to say this, but just in case: no bashing the secret maker. Whoever s/he may be.

Well, I do both canon and fanon shipping so I do get that aspect of it. Of course I also go in thinking most of my chosen ships are never going to sail or burn ugly and fiery deaths so I also don't get worked up when the canon comes and makes my pet ship impossible. It's kind of like a side hobby of mine when I read a manga or whatever. "Hmm... these two would be cute. Wouldn't it be fun if they ever became a couple?" You know, that sort of thing. But it doesn't ever overwhelm the other things I like about a manga because honestly, I seriously doubt a fanon ship could keep me interested in a fandom all by itself. Something else has to capture my attention.
I admit I do do the thing where "Girl A is way too good for Boy B." Except I end up shipping Girl A with Boy C and wish Boy B would die in an explosion or something. I don't go and ship Boy B and Boy C while Girl A is in the kitchen making cookies even though that totally goes against her characterization. That's just moronic.
(And I KNOW the SDK fandom just expects her to twiddle her thumbs, waiting for Kyo.)
Alas. It really does make you wonder if they read the same manga we do.

I regularly wonder if my SDK copies are a different version from everybody else's. Because I've never seen a Yuya content to sit and wait without a reason short of "if you move, you'll lose you head"(and even THAT doesn't always work) and a Kyo who's either a rapist, or secretly picturing their personal favorite naked. And I'm sorry, but I think there are dents in my head from Kamijyo making sure I understand that Kyo's as straight as they come.
