I'd rather not see cliche-filled fics at all. And I DID encourage the
author to keep writing. What I'm *not* gonna do is lie and tell her that
I liked the fic when I didn't. That might be depressing, but it's the
truth.

Um... Gary?

The multiple-fiancee thing is canon - in the anime.  If I count correctly,
there are at least four Genma-made engagements shown in the anime - two in
the Kaori episode alone - with more implied.  

Hate to break it to you, but most people don't have the combination of
time, money, resources, and education to get and use all 38 tanks.  To
them, the anime IS canon, and the characterizations formed by such should
at least be respected.  That might be depressing to you, but it's the truth.
