S+S or F+K?

Like I said, I love the innocence in the love Sakura and Syaoran share- I loved them in CCS and I was rooting every minute of it to see a single kiss- it's just that I moved on to a different pairing.
Maybe it's the age group. Most of the KFers are older teenagers and up (say... 15-16<) they find the pairing more interesting because they're going through more realistinc- so to speak- conflicts.
We all have to admit that teenagers LOVE angst, and what better angst than the KuroFye pairing?
When you're young, all you want is a happy ending. Love and prince's riding white horses, sweeping the princess to his castle, and then have them live happily ever after, yatta yatta.
I guess I got fed up with stories like that. I'm more into angst, blood, tragedy and if possible, a happy ending with conflicts in the middle.
Most SS fans are younger teens who like cute stories- not all the way, might I add- but most of the genre they choose is like that.
Take CCS not a single drop of blood, maybe 3 tears and some hands-against-the-forehead-drama. In my opinion, if I were to watch CCS now, I would die of boredom - too much cuteness and carefreeness.
TRC takes Sakura and Syaoran and makes them a drama. That drew my attention. The characters grew up with the reader, which in my opinion is very cool- new conflicts, teenage problems etc. Besides the fact that CCS fans would definately read it.
I began reading it because Syaoran was in the manga- and I adore Syao. However the manga didn't have enough spice IMO and by the second volume, I stopped purchasing.
But, THEN came Fye and Kurogane- that blew me away. I started reading TRC in hopes something might happen- I mean.. a blonde, gorgeous man fleeing from a (incredibly hot) king for unknown reasons, TEASING a VERY violent man-- a very violent-HOT man- had to just stirr the fangirl in me.
That's why there's KFers, not that they don't like the SS pairing, but they look for something that the SS pairing won't give them. Besides, we just KNOW SS are going to end together, but KF it's yet to be decided, so it keeps us clinging to the "will they/not?"
Overall.. it's just plain fangirlism and curiosity that draws me to the KF pairing. (Besides the fact that I adore the contrast between Fye and Kurogane-- and they're my new obsession. )
I think that explains my situation clearly. Sorry for the raaant!

I wouldn't start making generalizations about the people who 'ship SyaoSaku or KuroFai, myself, since someone's bound to pop in who doesn't fit the description. There are lots of people from different age groups who read and love CCS. You don't have to be a little kid to like happy endings, and you don't have to be against angst and creepiness to like SyaoSaku or CCS.
Other than that, nicely stated and explained. ^.^
Elenath:
Well, I didn't generalize, I just said that maybe it was the age group.
I took it from my own POV. Yes, tehre's 20 year-olds who like cute stuff like SS, I'm not saying there are not, but from what I've seen. They're mostly young teenagers.
Not taht there's something wrong with that.
Again, I was just stating the situation I was and how I came to decide my favorite pairing, I have nothing against SS.
vampifaied:
i thought Enanath explained it perfectly mostly the age of the person is a big factor in decided what sort of genres they like, and yes there are exceptions but it depends on the person.... i thought she explained it good v.v

I did understand that it was about your experience, but I felt like the point had to be made sooner or later. In any case, point taken. I apologize if I misconstrued your statement.
