Two random thoughts before I go back to bed and try and get a bit more sleep... which is exactly and entirely what I get for falling asleep at eight in the evening and ending up owl-wide awake at half past four and absolutely unable to get back to bed no matter how hard I tried as a consequence...

1. Has anyone seen kay_cricketed? She hasn't posted since the third! I miss her particular brand of random and want to virtually hug her for being cute because she is. I'll poke those unanswered comments I owe her which work, that bastard, kept me from with the victorious spork of replyingness sometime later today and see if I can get a reaction out of her. Come back, Kay, your people need you!

2. Why has Honey Trap, which doesn't actually have much of a pairing but is a Youji x Ken fanfic if it's actually anything at all considering the pointless and utterly gratuitous completely and entirely vital Youji x Ken kissing scene which is of course entirely justified from the point of view of the plot, archived in this c2 when that's a Ran x Ken archive? I mean, this is not to say I'm not flattered but what in Hell's my fic doing there? I do not knowingly write RanKen! I'm a YoKen ficcer. BLATANTLY. Aya's barely in the bloody thing. I think he shows up three or four times and most of the time it's because Ken's complaining about what a pain in the ass he is or is fantasizing about throwing things at him or smacking him in the face. I think someone's been reading between the lines and in so doing read far more into the fic than is actually there.

This is why ff.net statistics are Evil. They tell you far more about your readership than you ever wanted to know. Like some people out there have taken me for a RanKen ficcer when 99.95% of my Weiss fics are either blatant YoKen or drop serious hints in that direction. Can anyone out there tell me what about 'Honey Trap' could possibly be interpreted as supporting the RanKen cause when it's a pairing that baffles me at best, Ken gets KISSED by Youji in it and I'm the one who bloody well wrote it and know for a fact I didn't put any RanKen in it? I'm completely baffled. What's next? Is someone going to try and tell me that 'Seuche' (which, by the way, I recently updated and am now whoring out here because I can) is secretly Ran x Ken too?

This is also why Weiss fans worry me. A lot.
