Your Opinion on Fanfics and their Pairings

(1/4) > >>

Cherry-chan:
Okay, I have a question: If you really love a pairing, does that mean you have to write at least one fanfic based on that pairing (it ends with the pairing)?

Okay, if you didn't understand that, I'll make an example. For example, if you liked the couple Syaoran/Sakura, do you HAVE to make a story that makes them a happy couple? If you liked Syaoran/Sakura, would it be alright for Syaoran to be with, Meiling, for example? Does making a Syaoran/Meiling fic when you are a HUGE fan of Syaoran/Sakura make you a traitor of Syaoran/Sakura?

Does the fanfiction you write define what couple you're a fan of?

Eek. I think I made that really confusing. Perhaps I shall edit this post later?

bie liao:
No.  I've seen people who are firm Ranma and Akane followers do a Ranma/Cologne fic on a dare and pull it off beautifully as if they loved that pairing.  You don't HAVE to approve of the couple you do, but if your fans are lovers of the pairing you normally write about or that you openly support, they might not read a story that shows a different pair.

Personally (sorry) I wouldn't read a Meiling/Syaoran fic.

Ralea:
No, it doesn't mean your a traitor of the pairing. Just think of it as a challenge when you write  a story about a pairing alternate to your favorite pairing.

Yeah, I wouldn't really read a Meiling/Syaoran fic, either, it was just an example. I was just wondering about this since my cousin wrote a Kagome/Kouga fic even though she loves the Inuyasha/Kagome pairing. And uhhh, reviewers weren't exactly that supportive and called my cousin a traitor asked her how she could call herself an Inuyasha/Kagome lover. So yeah.

Ralea:
Aw, come on. That's just lame. Let her right any story as she please it, I mean it's not a crime if you decide to do something out of the ordinary now is it? Besides, there's what I call an overloading of fanfics where a pairing gets so much fics in them goodness knows if they are all read! Life needs a little spice you know.
