Of course, since I have a ton of stuff I need to do before I sleep (including, but not limited to, a take home quiz AND a sakubun for class tomorrow night) I am going to write up something for here. I don’t know if I’ll actually publish it tonight, but it’ll look like I did thanks to the magic of blogger. Ha.<\/p>\n

I am not a big fan of PWP unless the characters involved have enough backstory to justify to me that they might be having an encounter like that. And in that case I feel it’s not really PWP, it’s just a scene out of a larger story. I don’t like pairing up characters just because; I want canon evidence that this pairing is likely to happen. This is one reason I’m very picky with the fanfic I read; I either stick to authors I know aren’t going to pull something out of their butt, or pairs that I happen to think have good reason to be together, or both.<\/p>\n

Why am I going on about this? I’m not sure. Maybe because I skimmed a really really badly written HP fic the other day that purported to be Sirius\/Remus but turned out to be Sirius\/Harry and was just awful. Maybe because I’ve been blithering too much about the slashiness of MGS (which I happen to think is very well supported by the way the characters act). Maybe it’s just because I LIKE THE GIRL CHARACTERS.<\/p>\n

That’s right. Oh, I don’t like all of them, don’t get me wrong. But given the choice, I nearly always fill out my party with girls — and if I could dump the main male character, I would put in another one. Why? Part of it is the same reason I gravitate towards shoujo manga and anime. I’m so sick of books\/television\/movies where the main character is a special little boy<\/i>. Rar. Things are better now than when I was little, but not by a whole lot. None of the big movies this year have featured a woman in anything but a supporting role. Harry Potter, as fun and great as it is that it got kids reading, is still pretty sexist when you get down to it. The movie even moreso than the books. So, anyway, I’m so glad to see a female character — even if she is underpowered — that I use her. It also helps that I find the female character designs far more interesting than the male. In FF7 for instance, the only male character I found the least bit tolerable to look at was Vincent (the cape!) and since his Limit Break was completely and utterly useless, I couldn’t use him at all. So Tifa and Yuffie it was. (It would have been Yuffie anyway. So kill me, I really like her and Selphie.) My current Okage team is Ari, Rosalyn and Linda — even though Linda’s attack is really annoying and slow, and she doesn’t have nearly as many hit points as Big Bull. I’d rather look at her in her little pink dress than Bull. Plus she has the good healing spells (but I didn’t find that out until after.).<\/p>\n

I’m not really sure where I was going with this. Maybe I’ll manage to be more coherent when I edit this tomorrow.<\/p>\n
