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.

Thank you for the response, sharing and insight.

I am not current with SM fic but some of the best seemed to rail in response to criticisms where it could understandably compare to Twilight. It doesn't help later seasons never seem to capitalize as well as say Godannar, on our main couple being together. Think of it as a variation on the Moonlighting syndrome followed by the fact the director wasn't that kind to the relationship in the anime and squick and even other anime series criticisms the destined romance gives. For instance, your cries of "screw destiny" with regards to Sailor Moon which as a concept I never felt...sure about.

This likely was difficult to parse, please respond.
"(What's been your response to) Gay Dumbledore was it, "I knew it, eww, or ehsurewhatevs"?

Also curious; Snape? Just "Snape?" I risk tilting things too much one way or the other proposing a full question on the guy and I have to admit I'm just not sure I can get back on the horse.

I would still recommend the Inuyasha Manga. It at the least deals with Takahashi's quirks differently and I think a rewarding experience because more people are friends and colleagues as to competitors in a single romance. In fact I'd say its better because... well not much of a spoiler but there really isn't as much of a romantic triangle and things are more straight forward and even serious without losing her creative verve. The manga moves rapidly enough but can be digested at your pace.

I kinda got a homoerotic vibe about Dumbledore from Deathly Hollows when they talk about his early friendship with Grindelwald, but at the time I figured that was just me approaching the novel with too much of a fandom mindset. I don't really have feelings either way about him being gay.

I like the character of Snape. He's morally muddled in a way you don't see much in children's literature. He's got streaks of good and bad in him, and his love for Lily can be seen in both a redeeming light and a stalker-ish one. He's also an asshole, if for understandable (but not excusable) reasons.
