personalapocalypseI'm almost done with exams, so I can catch up with fun things.
Questions 9, 10 and 11 for the 30 Day Fandom Meme are below the cut.
---
9.What is one thing you love about your fandom?
Star Ocean 2: It's a canon, and to some extent a fandom, that really explores multishipping. (I was amused by the entire idea that everyone was canonically bisexual, also.)
Dragon Quest 8: It's the kind of fandom where anything goes, really. I mean, the world is bright and colorful but leaves a lot to explore, and there's a lot of fic for it out there that explores it. (First thing that comes to mind. Dunno if it makes sense.)
---
10. Recommend a favorite fan-created piece (fic, fanvid, art, etc) of yours within the fandom, with an adequate explanation as to why people should read it.
Star Ocean 2: Silly Things (Fic, SFW, Rena + Leon, with reference to Leon's precocious crush. I'm still fond of this one, since I remember writing it just to explore the Outer Wall Paradise (as it was called back then) a bit more, and I like how the game of tag with Rena and Leon turned out.)
Dragon Quest 8: Reunion (Fic, Angelo/Jessica, SFW. One of the first fics I wrote for the canon, and a way of dealing with their separation after the game's events. It still makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.)
---
11. What character could you most do without and why?
Star Ocean 2: Eh. I like all of the characters, but if I had to choose one it would be Welch. She appeared in the PSP remake and I just didn't really care as much about her character as I did any of the others; I'd rather have other characters in my limited party slots. I'll probably play a couple of games and pick her up eventually, if only to see a couple of particular PAs.
Dragon Quest 8: Charmles. He's a horrible jerk - which is fine, we're supposed to hate him. But I hated that entire subplot and kind of wish that the writers hadn't tossed the whole arranged marriage thing in there to begin with. I don't know what they could've replaced it with, but I don't care, I hated that guy SO MUCH.
