Aiyah,
As Asuza says..."Here we go agaiin!"
Parry: You are missing my point. This is not about
C&C- it's about shoujo! While I'm admittedly annoyed
about the KIND of C&C shoujo gets when it DOES get
C&C'ed, I'm even MORE annoyed about the general...
dislike the list has towards it, or so I feel.
Block: Since when has Shoujo been publicly dissed? If there's an Anti-shoujo faction in the ML it's vewy, vewy quiet...
Parry: Agreed. I'm just saying shoujo seems PRONE to
it, moreso than most genres.
Block: Chi-ga-u! There is an equal chance of Shoujo, shonen or mainstream anime/fanfiction to be misinterpreted... Hell, far as I know, the guy who created the Urutsokidoji series (did I get the name right?) might even have a hidden message he wanted to express. My point is that it's the duty of the author to show his/her audience what he/ she wants to get across.
PARRY: I've never understood how OC authors post on
this list, anyway.... change the names of an original
fic to japanese, and you call it "anime inspired". As
for inudating the list- I send about a fic a week....
I'm one of the more prolific writers... but sadly,
QUANTITY does not equal QUALITY...
Block: It's not just the names dear Aishuu, it's also the unique feel of Anime that these OC authors try to get across. Sometimes they even use local (read:Japanese) color just to get that feel. Notable examples would be Rob Barba's Everblue series, Chan wei Lek's They Walk in the Light and Mat Johnston's It's a Rainy day Sunshine Girl.
Regarding quality and quantity... wouldn't it be better to make a lot of good fics rather than making a whole lot of fics that are not so good? If you establish yourself as a good (read: Lawson/Perry/Zen level) writer then you could raise the flag of Shoujo as much as you want. A wise person once said: It is best to defeat the beast from within (don't ask me who said it, I've got a memory like a sieve). Maybe the same applies to the list ne?
Think about that won't you?
I've been stweing about this for two years.
~ Aishuu

Don�t ask of me to tell you where I�m from.
Don�t bury me in the lost yesterdays.
Don�t stop me any further.
Even now in my heart sleeps, my dream that like a storm is still raging.
