Re: Yayness! A new friend

I like villainous OCs. I don't like 'new team members' though. Forewarned is forearmed: I hate Mary Sues. Hate. I wrote a Weiss Mary Sue Litmus test, I hate them so much. Damn Sues, get out of my fandom! Stop hooking up with Aya!

Weiss Kreuz and the plot holes... oh yes, the plot holes. Ever-present bizarrenesses. But let's be honest, how many people are going to be watching Weiss Kreuz for the plot? You could count them on the fingers of one hand, if you ask me. People watch it for the characters. Or more exactly they watch it to stare at the characters and not mind that much about what they're doing. Largely because what they're doing doesn't always make a lot of sense anyway. Speaking of plot holes, I'm still bothered about one incident in ep. 13 where Ken is the first person injured and the last one to stop moving. Especially seeing as he was shot in the leg. I know he's stubborn, but...

I like Ken too, she said obviously. Can't quite explain why, though, but I've got used to it now. Aya... well, yeah, I will admit that smacking him in the face with a frying pan might help matters sometimes. Aya's at cross purposes with everything if you ask me. He's a rather unusual soul and broody beyond the call of duty, though I will admit that he's certainly lovely to look at when he's being pissy. Ah, pissy Aya.

The oddest thing about Ken and his coolness is that he's a long way from cool and yet somehow that makes him very cool. For example, I think the cutest thing about him is that he doesn't have the first idea that he's cute. And I absolutely adore his tendency to state the obvious.

And there is something weird about the whole concept of stalking a fanfic author. I mean... it's fanfiction. Even a good fanfic is just a fanfic. It's a story about a story. People really shouldn't freak over fanficcers (she said, having recently posted an 'OMG I love your work squee' comment to a new member of a WK fic community - even worse, it's the first time I've posted anything at all to that community so I suppose I look like an insane idiot). We haven't really done anything that special, though we have had a fair bit of fun in the process.

Good luck with your writing, by the way... Funny thing about Weiss. It's a rather strange little show in a lot of ways but it's spawned some fantastic fanfiction. Very odd the way an anime series will do that - but I suppose it's all about the characters again, so...
