heh... ^^;;

Wow, so you know you're completely enamored with a New Fandom when the H/D event of the year, [community profile] big_bang_hd, is set to go live tomorrow...and you totally forget about it because you've been too busy watching the anime and reading fics for the aforementioned New Fandom.

^^;;

Er.

Yeah.

I can't really remember the last time I read an H/D fic. A new one, anyway. I'm still keeping up with the updates of fics I've been reading for awhile.

Prince of Tennis pretty much owns my soul now. Hehe.

There's actually some pretty decent fics over on FF.net in the PoT section. Some. I mean, it's basically like every other category: go searching for the fics with a looooot of reviews and usually they turn out to be a good choice. ^.^

I have to say, PoT is probably the first fandom I've had where I don't really have an OTP. Maybe it's because I still haven't finished watching all of the anime, but at this point I'll read almost anything. lol, usually I'm so gung-ho about one particular pairing that I'll absolutely refuse to read anything where the characters are with someone else, but for PoT...

Eiji and Oishi are really the only two who I haven't read with anyone else yet. I don't mind Momo and Ryoma together, but I also like Tezuka and Ryoma (I blame this on [personal profile] bookshop's endless love for that pairing, because otherwise I probably would have stuck with MomoRyo, hehe. ^.^) Then again, I also like Momo and Kaidoh together because, hi, can never get enough of that rivals-turned-lovers thing. ^.~ Of course, then there's also Kaidoh and Inui. Taka and Fuji are the only ones I'm not too sure about. I've read TezuFuiji, but... *shrugs* Meh. Though I am leaning more towards MomoRyo and TezuFuji right now...

Then there's all the other schools, and the billions of other pairings that you can get from them...

So yeah, that's for everyone who was asking if I was shipping anyone yet. ^.^ Anyhoo...fic recs, anyone? I'm actually not picky about pairings here!

Alrighty, that's my anime rambling for the day. Yay, Tenipuri! lol, I actually got my sister hooked on the show! And she keeps saying how, other than Naruto, she's going to swear off anime, but I always manage to drag her back!

Chapter 4 of All the Answers will be going up tomorrow. Er...well, maybe tonight, seeing as how tomorrow is Big Bang Day. Gah, I'm gonna have to take a break from PoT to read all those fics...


P.S. OMG, yay for nekkid!Wolfram in the last episode of KKM!! Er, that would be episode 76, I mean. And that link goes to the episode summary, but just scroll past it for the pics. ^.~ *wolf-whistles* Heee!

OMG! YAY!!! ANOTHER PRINCE OF TENNIS FAN!!!!

Man...this was my fandom before I got hooked onto HP. Still one of my fav. fandoms ever!

Glad to see you hooked onto this. Next, I must get you hooked onto Naruto and Bleach. ^________^

[identity profile] maxine-chan.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
lol, I'm working on Naruto, actually. I'm downloading it for my sister and watching it with her. ^.^ The same for Bleach, I'm downloading it for my brother. But for some reason, I haven't really been able to get into that one! I haven't watched most of it yet, though, even though I have all the available episodes. But everyone keeps telling me to watch it so I'll have to eventually! ^.~

In the meantime, OMG YAY TENIPURI!!!!! I'm so in love with this anime!!!

[identity profile] swtjemz.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
hahah....Bleach's storyline gets really good after ep. 20.

Another fun crack fandom to watch is Yakitake! Japan. [livejournal.com profile] kungfooqueen and I adore that one! I watched a good chunk of it while in London waiting for my cousin to wake up for sightseeing! ^_^;

Tenipuri is seriously crack. I've gotten many others addicted to it and my fav. pairing is Tezuka/Fuji....since Fuji is one of my fav. characters. Him and Kajimoto *iconed in above comment* and Atobe are the ones I love the most....along with Ryoma, of course.

[identity profile] maxine-chan.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh God, I love Fuji. Every time he opens his eyes I have to pause the screen. Seriously. And then I stare at him for awhile. ^^;; I need to find some good TezuFuji fics, because I've mainly only read TezuRyo but I like MomoRyo better, and Fuji needs to be with someone!

Mmmm, I love Atobe. lol, and Shinji. He's great. ^.^ Kajimoto...he's the captain who was going to play Fuji, but then their team lost, right? I just watched those episodes, heh.

Haven't heard of Yakitake! Japan. What's it about?

[identity profile] hyper-dragon.livejournal.com 2006-02-17 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
Fuji's got his brother..., but then Yuuta/Mizuki is more socially accepted.

ATOBE. Don't get me started. (Atobe can pretty much take his pick - the only people I don't see him working out with are Kaidoh and Oishi. )

[identity profile] hyper-dragon.livejournal.com 2006-02-14 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Bleach is good, but you can't slash it. It just... doesn't click in for me.

However, Kakashi and Iruka from Naruto... ^_^ Hee hee!

You are actually making me want to give anime a chance. I can't do it though because I am home like 6 hours a week and those 6 hours are reserved for American Idol, House, 24, Lost, and my husband (in that order).

So glad you are posting your new chapter soon! I am really enjoying it so far :)

I am embarrassed to say this....I have run out of H/D so I am reading more Snarry. I can't believe it but some of them are good! Reading any good H/D right now to try to bring me back to the light? Maybe BB will help me tomorrow...

Talk to you later!

lol, ok, let's try that again since I messed up half the coding...

lol, aww, you're sure you can't squeeze anime in there somewhere? ^.~ Actually, I don't have a lot of time to watch it myself, and my sleeping schedule has suffered for it. ^^;; I really need to go to bed earlier and stop watching episodes, or I'll seriously collapse on the job one of these days...

Heh, I know what you mean about running out of H/D. Though I think a big reason is because so many people were busy working on their BB fics. As for what I'm reading...um... Have you tried [personal profile] silentauror's current WIP? It's really good, and it's updated frequently. Then I'm also reading Secrets, and an AU fic called Draco's Boy. And that's about it, really, for any new fics I've found. Those are all pretty long, too, and very good! Other than that I've been reading anime fics up the wazoo. ^.^

And I'm so glad you're enjoying my fic, sweetie!! Thank you!

What episode are you on? I'm around episode 120. XPPP My academic life has so gone down the drain. :P

[identity profile] maxine-chan.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
lol, I know what you mean. My sleeping schedule has suffered so much since I started watching PoT. I just finished episode 90, and now 91-95 are being slooooow. Download faster, damn it!! ^.~

I gave up using torrents since they always take forever for me and I just can't wait that long. I ended up subscribing to Animeground and thoroughly taking advantage of my school's internet. :D

I don't go to bed 'til like....3AM these days. :p

[identity profile] happyaddict.livejournal.com 2006-02-14 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
X3 Keep reading!! There will be TezukaxOishi stuffs later :O!! I <3 the Golden Pair to death tho X3. MomoRyo is also luff. Nyaah, the whole team could switch around with each other and probably should XDD. There's a lot of doujinshi for POT, aIM me @ happyaddictions if you want to see some X3.

[identity profile] maxine-chan.livejournal.com 2006-02-17 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Heee! OMG, I will definitely take you up on that doujinshi offer!! Er...eventually. I'm not online that often, but I'll add you to my buddy list! I'm bballchica5521. ^.^

I HEART GOLDEN PAIR! (actually... I can't really enjoy anything about them with others... unless it jumps right back to them...

Have you seen the musicals? If you haven't, they're GOLD. The first two, and Dream Live anyways. The third... not so much.

My preferred set of pairings is as follows -
Golden Pair, Inui/Kaidoh, Momo/Ryoma, Tezu/Fuji... and Taka's either the straight boy (hmph. yeah right.) or likes Akutsu. There's also the combination of Taka/Fuji and Tezuka/Atobe....

And your icon is positively adorable.

[identity profile] maxine-chan.livejournal.com 2006-02-17 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't seen the musicals yet, but I have the torrents ready to download! I'm on episode 100 of the anime, and when I'm done with that I've also got the OAV and the movie. lol, I'm getting everything! ^.^ Ooohh, and then the Nationals OAV comes out in March. That's another seven episodes, I think is what I heard. w00t!

[identity profile] hyper-dragon.livejournal.com 2006-02-17 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
NATIONALS OAV?! AWESOME!!! *excited*

[identity profile] hyper-dragon.livejournal.com 2006-02-17 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Start downloading 'em now, because they are too awesome to miss. Plus, they take forever as maybe there are one or two seeds. (forever times infinity if you have NAT problems, like me)

Make sure you get the backstage bits... MoriEiji and Tuti are AWESOME. Interviews = could be better... But the first is better with Nagayan (correct me if I'm wrong) as Ryoma and Kimeru (You Got Game?) as Fuji - I don't like him as much as Ryoma (musical 2).

[identity profile] hyper-dragon.livejournal.com 2006-02-18 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
THIS is awesome.
