1) ...Kick serve? Kick serve??? WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT CALLING IT TWIST SERVE?!

GEEZ.

It's the little things, dammit, that will annoy me every single time they come up. >_<

2) Why does Inui's - sorry - Sadaharu's voice suck so bad? Why??

3) Fuji's voice will always amuse me. I don't dislike it, really! But could it be any deeper?? Well, I mean yes, obviously it could, but still. You know.

4) I will be never be happy with how they say Tezuka, nor will I ever get used to it. I'm going to have to refrain from whipping my laptop at the wall every time it comes out Tezooka. GAH.

5) I still love Nanjiroh, because he is a huge dork. ^.^

6) God, and I say it every time, but can we please get past the first ranking tournament sometime this century? I want street tennis, I want real tournaments, I WANT OTHER TEAMS!!!

Overall, not bad. Really. I just complain a lot. ^.~

So yes. Recs. Some of you may have read a lot of these already, but when it comes to finding fic outside of livejournal, I get lazy. ^^;; [profile] tikaima recced these to me recently, and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Who can say no to LONG Tenipuri fics??

Anyhoo, these are by Miko no da [personal profile] miko_no_da (because apparently she is on LJ! =P), and I have to admit that at first I wasn't sure I'd enjoy them. She writes the characters somewhat differently from what I'm used to reading, and it took me a couple of chapters to get used to it. But she is a very talented writer and an excellent story teller, and her take on the characters, while not quite what I'm used to, definitely isn't what I would call OOC, so I was hooked in no time. ^.^

Um. So basically anything on this page is good. =P But in particular:

- Jealousy - (Shishido/Ohtori) The first one I read and it's REALLY good. A different take on Silver Pair, and it made me completely fall in love with how she writes Ohtori.

- Facing Your Demons - (Kirihara/Kamio!!) I secretly ship this pairing and have found virtually nothing written for them, so this fic was all sorts of awesome. Really, really enjoyed it, and it definitely had an interesting premise!

- Under the Mask (Atobe/Ohtori) Yeah, you read that right. It's still a WIP, but OMG. I've never read Atobe/Ohtori before, but she makes it work and I so cannot wait for the next chapter! I'm craving more of this pairing now!

The one-shots on the page are good, too, like, Kissing Lessons (Atobe/Jiroh) and Sleep Sweet (fluff fluff fluff!), but I haven't gotten a chance to read through everything yet.

Anyway, so if you're looking for something to read and you're up for new pairings, definitely check those out. The way I figure, in Prince of Tennis, any two characters who are on the same team, who have played each other, whose teams have played each other, who were ever even in the same scene, or if they both went to the Senbatsu camp, then they're fair game to be paired up with each other. ^.~

And if you happen to be a fan of rare pairings and the like, then go read anything and everything by [personal profile] whisper132. She's the drabble queen and writes pretty much every pairing under the sun. =P Her Meddlers series is pure love. Actually, everything she writes is pure love. Just...GO. Go read. Seriously. You'll be entertained for hours.

Aaaaand if it's more long fics you're looking for, you can never go wrong with any of [personal profile] reposoir's works. She has talent like no one else, and a lot of you will probably recognize her from the Harry Potter fandom, too. Anyhoo, she has:

- Quicken to Silver - (Shishido/Ohtori) Still a WIP and easily the best Silver Pair fic I've ever read. She writes the slow and steady progression of a relationship absolutely perfectly.

- Might Be Found - (Renji/Kirihara) My other absolute favorite of hers, one of the many, many reasons being because Mizuki shows up, and I'm pathetically in love with anything Mizuki. ^^;; lol, but no, this is another fic showcasing her ability to bring a couple together beautifully and realistically, which is key.

Check out her other PoT fics too, as they are all awesome (especially if you're like me and have a secret love for gender!switch fics, because Hyotei Crack-uen and Fukubuchou Fucks Up. Heee. And while I'm at it, [profile] ver2frog's Toastette. XDDD).

^.^

H'okay, so that's a lot of what I've been reading lately in the Tenipuri fandom. Not everything, obviously, but there are a ton more fics in my memories if you want to look. Erm. Though they need to be updated like whoa. I think I've got about thirty more fics to add... ^.~
