Your Opinion on Fanfics and their Pairings

<< < (3/4) > >>

Time-Machine:
I think it's cool to write about a pairing you don't necessarily support, as a sort of challenge, or "What if." It helps broaden your horizons, and it shows maturity to be able to find the appeal and the basis for ideas outside of your own.

For example: I am a REALLY diehard Touya/Yuki fangirl. They are completely meant for each other.

BUT I have considered the interesting dynamic that could be taken in writing a fic that pairs Touya with Tomoyo (I know...o.0) and Yuki with Meiling. (Meiling and Yuki especially interest me, because she is so agressive and he is so passive, and she tends to be rather immature, and he tends to be quite the opposite).

Do I agree with those pairings? Heck No.

But I think it would be an interesting story and a diffucult writing challenge (especially because, to keep from going OOC, I would need some valid reason that T/Y wouldn't work...and there really isn't one...)

I think it's good to branch out.

Jeannette:
It is good to branch out... even still, there are and always will be pairings that I just can't stand to read, much less write about. XD Perhaps I'm just one of those obsessive, hard-core fans. On the other hand, there are pairings that, while I might enjoy another pairing more, I can stand to read and even enjoy. Some of it is doubtless due to simple arbitrary preferences; though, some, I think, is due to Time-Machine's point about validity. Pairings can't be random, there has to be some kind of sense to them. And some pairings just won't ever make sense to me; perhaps they make sense to another, but just not to me. And I really can't write something that I don't find valid. There is worth in branching out, but you can also branch out too much, I think. Therefore, I don't often go beyond my OTP's in stories, either reading or writing. But that's just me.

She worships you and praises you for saying that :sweatdrop:

I have yet to write a fanfic without Syaoran/Sakura in it. Maybe once I improve (my fanfics still need some work), I'll experiment with other couplings, even though I don't necessarily like them. It just may broaden my horizons and persepectives on them.

Hikari B.:
Personally, I don't have a problem with reading stories with alternative pairing. It seems interesting and a change in pace once in a while. I have nothing against alternative couples so I don't mind reading stories with Syaoran/Meiling and so on.

moezychan:
I tend to stick to my favorite pairings. I suppose I could write a fanfic that has a pairing that I don't like, but it would probably be hard for me to finish. I really commend those that can write a fanfic with a pairing they don't like. It can't be easy.
