The past couple of days I started feeling very nostalgic for my old-school fandoms.
Like, yesterday I was wondering if in the two? three? years since I've been out of Saiyuki, has anyone written any new Yaone het?
And also, I was reminiscing about the days prior to Avatar's finale and the casting!fail of the movie, when Suki was climbing up walls and my love for Zutara burned like a fiery heart.

Now-a-days the issue usually is not having the inspiration. Everything's either two short or I don't have the time to invest in a huge piece. I was hoping to do some short stories, really.
I do like male slash (I know it's not your thing but I am going somewhere with this), but I could never get into anything involving Kougaiji because of how the authors always dismissed Yaone (and Lirin) from Kougaiji's mind. And while I am a huge Kou/Yaone shipper I'm also flexible, unless you start writing out their significance. This is my main issue with a lot of pairings, really, because it seems like people don't understand that you can have an important and meaningful relationship with more than the person you're bumping headboards with.
Yaone definitely needs more love. I also crave genfic Kougaiji-tachi adventures.
I wish there were more female characters in Saiyuki who 1) didn't get fridged or 2) are only around for a single story arc. I love me some pretty boys too, but I like a bit of variety in my pairings.
I do buy the volumes in English, but I was talking about the scanlations that are already out. I used to read them every month and then buy the volume when it came out anyways. it's weird that I haven't been on top of it - it doesn't take very long to read a chapter.

That's how I'm doing the prompts I can now. "What is the story I want to tell?" "What is the fastest way to tell that story?"

I hate it when writers do that! They'll do that with het couples too, where they ignore a character instead of writing in a canon relationship. It's lazy and disrespectful and ooc, imho.

Same here! I was so very sad when Pippi died.
