The Reason Tired People Should Not Make LJ Posts.  
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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Oh my gosh! I'm alive! I really am! *feels terrible* Well, sort of. I've been battling schoolwork and last minute tests like crazy this past week, not to mention working insanely on an original story for my workshop class. I'm so relieved to have it done, I can't even tell you. Whew.

*clings in adoration* You're so sweet to me. I really don't deserve it. I'll give you randomness! I swear! Random is goooood. ♥

Honey Trap? As a Ran x Ken? O.o How does that even WORK? Seriously, it's so blatantly Youji x Ken that... I just... I... *brain explodes* What?

That is actually kind of disturbing. O.o

Weiss fans are very odd sometimes.

...

*clings to you* Don't leave me alone with them. ;_; I like my arm on my body.

Yes, you do deserve it. You deserve it because you're YOU. Okay? *hugs like a mad thing* Good thing you came back, because I was about to wonder if you'd been sent on another camping trip like the one you mentioned being enforced on you a while back, and had frozen half to death then been abducted by alien bears or something. Family trips are bad even without alien bears, so I had to be sure. Yup.

But that didn't actually happen, so yay! for that. And I am amazed by all the commenting you have done. You have teh stamina. I am not nearly half that good about commenting. Hm. There's a New Year's Resolution in that, I think.

Yup, that Honey Trap.

Yup, in a Ran x Ken fic archive. No, I don't know how it works either and I'm the damned author. Come on, Youji kisses Ken. And has to pretend to be dating him to get them into the club and away from perverts. Kind of. Well, they think he's a girl so as far as they know they're just being creepy, but you know what I mean.

Still. YoKen. Yes. Blatantly hint-ful toward it. I think my brain went splodey when I realized it.

... Weiss fans scare me. Ran x Ken scares me.

Will not leave you alone here because I am scared to be all by myself in this horrible, no good, very bad place. *clings back twice as hard* Am very scared now. Want to go home.
