Oh, why the fuck not.
Aug. 7th, 2006 04:41 pmI do way too many of these lately, but this is at least fandom-related.
1. Ask me fandom-related questions in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc.
2. Ask as many questions as you like.
3. That's it. It can be as normal or odd as you like. :D

3. What makes good smut?
4. Lastly: Favorite con memory?
WHICH ONE OF MY OT4 DO YOU THINK IS SEXIEST?!? HUH!??! HUH!?! HOW ABOUT ZEFF VS SMOKER?! HUH?!Struck on account of the sheer amount of hatred driving it. ^_^Edited for my html failure, sorry 'bout doubles. -_-

Date: 2006-08-07 10:15 pm (UTC)Then I wouldn't feel so lonely.2. If we're including FF.net in the fandom, Mary Sues. O_o As far as LJ-only fandom goes, hmmmm...uhhh...snaps, I can't think of anything that really pisses me off off the top of my head. Such a cop-out answer, but it's true. I don't even mind the amount of ZoSan, because most of it is so good.
3. Emotional investment. Or crack. Or creative use of Logia powers.
4. Probably the Pirate Buggery Cocktail Party, followed closely by my panel and the pirate raid on the Naruto meetup. XD
SMOKER. No question. If I'm perving on his action figure, what defense have I against the real thing?(no subject)

3. Will you ever stop writing Smoker/Zeff?
The only correct answer is "no".(no subject)

Date: 2006-08-08 01:25 am (UTC)When
Afterwards...it just kind of stuck. The pairing started off as a joke, but I started writing more of it, and Metta-chan did some art for it, and I fell in love with Smoker-kins and Young!Zeff, and now they won't get out of my goddamn head and part of my brain crackily insists that it's canon.
Hey, at least Smoker/Zeff gives me something to throw at people who tell me that Sanji/Usopp is weird. XD

Date: 2006-08-08 01:34 am (UTC)2. People are going to shoot me for this, but probably the current one with Water 7 and Enies Lobby. Everyone's really grown a lot in this arc, and it's made me cry more than any other arc, including the Drum Island arc. Hell, just finding out how Gear Second works nearly made me cry, because Luffy's hurting himself badly for his crewmates and he doesn't care. Luuuuuuuuuffyyyyyyyyyyyy... T_T
Plus, it has SOGEKING. I'm enough of a Sogeking dork that an Usopp cosplayer's Kabuto at Otakon got a hug before they did. XD
3. NEVER. SMOKER/ZEFF WILL LIVE FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN.
Re: ........
Date: 2006-08-08 01:40 am (UTC)If you give a swordsman a bottle of sake, he will ask for a blowjob.
If you give a swordsman a blowjob, he will ask for hot sex.
If you give a swordsman hot sex, he will ask for a nap.
If you give a swordsman a nap, he will eventually wake up and ask for a cookie.
This chain can be swiftly broken by giving a swordsman a swift kick in the head.

Plus there've been hypotheses thrown around that Blackbeard is either uncle or father to the D. brothers, so that's doubly squicky. O_o Though if he is, I don't know how Ace is going to deal with kinkilling.Blackbeard: Ace...I am your father.
Ace: NOOOOOOOOOO! *fireball of doom*

1. Sanji's left eye.
2. How Zoro keeps his swords up.
3. How Robin doesn't fall out of her shirts, especially in Movie Seven.
4. How you run a refrigerator and a modern stove on a sailing vessel.
5. The location of Hina's secret harem.
6. The location of Sanji's hideous Skypeia shirt.
7. Where all of Zoro's extra blood comes from.

Date: 2006-08-08 03:41 am (UTC)I won't, because it's probably my favorite too (though I'll have to see how it ends to see if it edges out Alabasta) :D. I mean, Sogeking (Eeee! 419!) and his retarded song are just WIN on top of everything else. And hugging Kabuto is dorky but awesome XD.
More beautiful words have never been spoken ::sniff::.

Date: 2006-08-08 04:26 am (UTC)2. Which is your otp? I know you like ZoLu and SanUso, but I've never been sure of which.
3. Quote an example of a badly written OP fanfiction you're actually read before without dealing damage to the author. (25 marks)
4. How did you chance on San/Uso and why do you like it?
5. WILL YOU WRITE MORE LUFFY/USOPP?
6. Do you still want to take up on that fic/art exchange we had once I'm done with this monstrous meme? XD
(no subject)
Date: 2006-08-08 05:29 am (UTC)Why are YOU asking ME for writing tips?That Powerpoint is pretty much a stream of my pet peeves. XD Ummm, writing tips...get as far inside the character's head as you can. Duh. I'm a dork; I've actually sat up nights looking for insights into Zoro's character.Make a "Notes" file for each fic where you throw all your questionable writing--stuff you don't want to delete but that isn't really that good. That way you can take it out and go, "Well, maybe I'll salvage it later," and appease the part of yourself that goes "I spent too much time on that to delete it!"
I personally like always having some kind of plot or emotional development in every fic, but I've read some smokin' PWPs, so your mileage may vary.
Write down good ideas as soon as you get them, because they go stale damn fast. O_o
I can't think of anything else, other than that taking a creative writing course is good. *writingtard*
2. It's Sanji/Usopp. I loves me some ZoLu, but I love SanUso more.
3. “Your pain is so wonderful. If the others weren’t here I would do much more… That gives me an idea. I’ll, well no use telling you. You’ll soon find it out, but for now, just remember, YOU ARE MINE!” Zoro said, picking up a dagger like kitchen knife and flipped Sanji over. Taking the knife, he slowly carved into Sanji’s back. When he was done, he licked up the blood that was one the knife, and told him to clean everything up.
Zoro left the kitchen, whistling to himself as he went below deck. Cleaning up all the knifes, rope, and broken shards. Once they were all cleaned up, and the knifes were put away, he left the kitchen.
Going down below, Sanji made his way to the bathroom. He had a difficult time though, due to blood loss. Cleaning up, he turned so he could read what Zoro carved into his back. When he saw what it said, he started to cough. Backing away from the mirror, he ran out of the room and into his bunk, curled into a ball, shivering, holding back tears.
His back read, “ Property of Roronoa Zoro “
4. ALABASTA AND SKYPEIA. 'Nuff said.
And not long after I read those parts of the manga, Metta-chan asked me for a fairy tale, and I came up with the story-in-a-story in this fic (http://chibi-trillian.livejournal.com/59293.html), and everything snowballed from there.
I dearly love Sanji/Usopp because they're both such romantics at heart, and because Usopp is the only crewmember Sanji is really best-friends-type chummy with. Zoro's his rival, and Luffy's his captain (and a dumbass), and Chopper is cute and looks up to him, and the girls are his untouchable goddesses, but Usopp...he's just himself. He's full of shit, he runs away from things, he needs rescuing more often than the girls, but he's also got skills that Sanji doesn't, and Sanji respects that. Sanji doesn't have to try to impress or compete with Usopp, and I think that's why the two of them get along well in canon.
5. YES. IF ASKED.
6. Hell fucking yes. I love exchanges; they give me a reason to live.

Date: 2006-08-08 06:23 am (UTC)Because I can't write?!Ergh, I'd kill for a good writing course around here. T__T4. And... I think that just really made a lot of sense right now. TT I never really thought about the pairing and why it would work before.
5 + 6 = 11. OKAY. WHEN I'M DONE WITH THE MEME THEN WE CAN EXCHANGE SMOKER/ZEFF AND LUFFY/USOPP. OKAY?

Date: 2006-08-08 07:16 am (UTC)I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK. 11 IT IS.

Date: 2006-08-08 08:13 am (UTC)2. Who is the ultimate top on the Going Merry, taking into account all personalities and powers?
3. Which did you prefer: Champloo-style jagged teeth from Movie 6 or the shiny happy bosoms of Movie 7?
4. What was behind your gender choices for Zoro's swords in that story you wrote shortly after he kicked Kaku's ass in the manga?
(no subject)
Date: 2006-08-08 08:29 am (UTC)2. Nami. Hands down. Nami only plays one game with her crewmates, and it's called "I Win."
3. Movie Six. The hair alone brough me massive love, and I'm actually a big fan of Samurai Champloo's animation style.
Though Nami's apparently polished antigravity boobies animed the living hell out of me.4. Wadou Ichimonji is female because she reminds me so very strongly of Kuina. Sandai Kitetsu is male because he's a horrible bastard
and a pervert. Yubashiri is female because she's light and graceful, though she's very close to being neuter in my mind. Really, it was just how I've always felt about the blades, and I can't explain it well. X_x(no subject)
Date: 2006-08-08 11:49 am (UTC)2. Which pirate crew would you want to join and why?
3. *killer question for most people* Who's your favorite character?
4. Do you think One Piece will some day reach the 800 episode mark for anime?
5. What's your favorite thing to have a pair do in a story?

Date: 2006-08-09 01:02 am (UTC)2. None of them. I have no really useful piratical skills. I'd be cabin girl forever. I'll settle for being a pirate of the internet instead.
3. Usopp! Though it's only by a nose. *rimshot*
4. No. Eight hundred episodes at twenty-six episodes a season means thirty years of One Piece. It would set some sort of a record for longest-running anime, and eventually, it would start sucking. HARD. Frankly, if Oda-sensei is still doing OP thirty years from now and it's still full of awesome and people aren't going "FIND THE FUCKING ONE PIECE ALREADY," I'm nominating the man as the eighth wonder of the world. At nine years of awesome, OP is already an exception--most mangas get run into the ground after four or five years.
5. I don't have a particular favorite. I just like well-written, creative stuff.
(no subject)
Date: 2006-08-09 01:11 am (UTC)2. What're YOUR squicks (just 'cause you asked me ^^)
3. How long have you been a yaoi fan?
4. Do you like any het pairs, any fandom, and what are they?
5. What the hell is Ace supposed to do with his man off shagging ZEFF, of all people?!
...better yet, what does he do when he finds them?
...and what does Smoker do?

Date: 2006-08-09 01:19 am (UTC)1. Hmmm, I don't know if this fruit has been created yet, but I'd like the devil fruit power to change into a penguin ^.^
2. ^.^''' I don't have any pirate skills either, but I can clean good.
3. >.< Hard, but I would have to say Robin and Luffy.
4. ^.^''' I didn't know how many episodes were out, so I thought it went past the 300 mark (close, but I found a place saying that there's 275). How many episodes do you think One Piece will have?
5. That's the way to think and go!
(no subject)
Date: 2006-08-09 01:39 am (UTC)2. Shota and lolicon, incest (especially heterosexual incest, because that's got the potential for kids), scat, and watersports.
3.
FOREVER.I started out reading Star Trek slashfics when I was about fifteen.4. I love Usopp/Kaya to very tiny pieces. I'm accepting to all het pairings, though
especially ones where Sanji gets hardcore pwned by the girl(s) in his life.5. Nothing. The magnificent thing about the Smoker/Zeff pairing is that it happened sixteen years in the past (way back in the day when Smoker was still a cadet and before Zeff had his own ship) and foreshadows Smoker/Ace pretty heavily. If Ace found out...he'd probably send Zeff a fruit basket and a thank you note. And Smoker would be mortified. XD
