leave me a comment saying "BITE ME",
- i'll respond by asking you five questions so i can get to know you better.
- update your journal with the answers to the questions.
- include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions
1)What is your favorite mythological monster?
Vampires. I loved vampires before they were cool. Okay, scratch that, vampires were always cool. I loved vampires before they sparkled, back when Buffy was the It Girl to the hottest things to go bump in the night, when the book everyone asked you about when they found out you liked vampires was written by Anne Rice (tangentially, when I first checked the book out of the library, my mom asked me what I was reading and then told me to return it because I was too young for that book, and then I did. Parental guidance: that is how it's done).
2)If I was going to drop you into any fictional world, which would it be?
I'll take one ticket to Ile-Rien, please. AKA the best of Paris and London and their respective countries during a time period whose aesthetics I love (the 1940s, fyi) with level of woman's equality roughly equal to our current time period.
3)Which fandom you've been in has the most perfect gender dynamics?
Fandom or canon? To be quite honest, speaking just of the fandom, Naruto has one of the best I've seen. I've heard rumors of the epic Sakura bashing, but I was around for things like, you know, 80% of the comments to an anti-Karin post being about how Sakura is awesome too, why are you bashing one to glorify the other?
4)Do you think your astrological sign fits your personality?
It does to a ridiculous degree. I'm a Cancer and have four planets (the moon, the sun, Mercury and Venus) in that same house.
And it really reflected in my personality.
5)If you were going to pick a style of music that best describes you, what would it be?
Rock and roll, baby. ^_^

To fully enjoy it though, you'd to find a time when Ile-Rien is not under attack by:
1. unstable sorcerers
2. the Fay
3. unstable sorcerers in league with the Fay
4. crazy-ass centuries dead necromancers
5. frightening armed beings from another dimension.

You're not seeing the bashing because much of the bashing seems to go on over at the NarutoFan forums, where the Sakura (and Hinata) bashing is rampant, ugly and apparently a full-time occupation for some of the posters. On any given day, there's an excellent chance that one of the front page threads will be a thread asking some variation on "How fucking useless is Sakura" and the anti-Sakura fanclub has something like 30,000 posts. I wish I was kidding. And the Hinata bashing is almost as bad.
I try to stay out of there, but sadly, it's practically the only place I can find discussion on Kabuto at the moment (even though a good chunk of the posters are barely intelligible, some are excellent theorists and thoughtful) and sometimes it's fun to see Gabzillaz issuing smackdowns to the Hinata bashers. Other than that, it's worthless.

Honestly, I think all of the above would just make it better. How can I have a properly epic adventure if there is nothing properly epic going all? And the things you mentioned are all great for drama.

I think I noticed something like that. I'm not a big fan of forums, actually, just because I think it's hard to follow discussions and find what you're looking for on them.
*sigh*
Sorry all the crazies hang out in the same place as the only people who talk about your favorite character.
