Via damn near everyone:

Ask me fandom-related questions. They can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general. Questions can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, kinks, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you've always wanted to know.

For the following fandoms (Sailor Moon, Avatar, Evangelion) as well as any others you are involved in.

1. What fanon things do you have as your personal headcanon?
2. What fanon things annoy you the most in each fandom?
3. Are their any bits of fanon that arn't your headcanon, but you really enjoy?

You've admitted Suki is 'thinly' characterized. What about Katara or Azula? Not accusatory as a I agree on a level just makesthe best comparison.

Why do you think people like Toph so much and are divided on Aang? Given their similar violations of common sense and all...

Is there a way to portray Crystal Tokyo and the Dark/Nemesis Moon without going the utopia is a sham or dystopic evil? Have you ever been able to enjoy Usagi/Mamori (Darien and Serena for me... always)

Ever tried Inuyasha? What are your favorite elements? Least favorite? What if anything would you change?

Certain stories and fandoms are prone to certain weaknesses. Avatar the shipping war and yeah some of the restrictions of the original audience (we disagree on energybending oddly enough I support that but dislike the Avatar State's reappearance but also can understand... well it would suck if Aang never got to claim power over the crazy thing that's controlled his life?). Sailor Moon tends to veer to despair and Twilight-esque implications and issues with romance until you inject or make explicit more lesbianism. EVA is well...alot ofthings (I just consider most shows before and after handling the same subject matter better EVA fails for me the same way Embers does the events are too contrived and soft to end up at doom and gloom; admittedly its been retold dozens of times by now so I shouldn't resent it) but at a guess making Shinji into a badass, pairings, and philosophical wankery (at least where I tried).

Why do these problems occur? How can each person contribute? How have you contributed? How do you overcome or mitigate them?


Harry Potter how did you feel about the Ginny romance? I lost the book series proper after Goblet of Fire as such...I know stuff and don't mind some spoilers... But... well from my perspective it seems out of no where and I feel a bit cheated knowing Ron and Hermione hooked up. I just took it as a given Cho Ann would be a "first heartbreak" due to Harry's nervous lack of approach and idealization. I only discounted Harry and Hermione due to a supposed statement from the author promising no inter-trio romance. And then well there is one only its...well weird. After Cho ann I was fine with STAG Harry. Between Hagrid and Dumbledore and others I thought it would be saying something you could be single and still happy, with a meaningful life.

Simultaneously, Gay Dumbledore, I knew it, eww, or ehsurewhatevs and Snape. Just snape I risk proposing a question without tilting things too much one way or the other.

Excuse me mum, May I make another

Aang is often told to me as the most intensely challenging to write, I'm curious your testimony/experience there.
