One True Impossible Pairing

[mark_asphodel]

Seriously, why is my fanficcing OTP apparently Catria/Marth?  It doesn't happen.  It can't happen.  The amount of canon-warping to make this even possible is tremendous, confining it to the land of utter AUness or sometime well after the games.  And I don't have a problem with that, as I'd rather write about adults than teenagers anyway, but it still calls into question as to why I've latched onto what is, canonically, a teenager's unspoken crush on her superior.  Unspoken-- and unrequited.

Unrequited love is cool. There's plenty of opportunity to milk it for drama, so...yeah. I used to like Seth/Eirika a lot, but over the years I've found that my interests have veered away from the knight/princess pairing...far, far away. One-sided love is neat though. Dats dat good shit.

Whenever I write Kent (and I write from his POV a surprising amount, maybe because, well, I know what it feels like to like a girl who may or may not like you) I always throw in some mention of that. I mean, introspection city, and if there's one thing I LURVE to write, it's THOUGHTS. Kent (and Seth) is one of those characters I find myself writing about a lot (or at least, from the POV of), and I don't know why, because I don't really like him (I prefer the "Abels", I guess.)

Speaking a' Kent...XP

(You mean it's physically impossible to get Marth/Catty's A support? Wow, even Renault has enough time to get to A...)

Boy I feel out of it tonight. Gotta get some ZZZ...

One-sided love is best without a side of wangst, though. Some of the worst stuff I ever read 'fic-wise was one-sided Gundam Wing garbage, usually Duo pining for Heero.

Hey... you *did* up and post "The Crimson Knight." I'll have to take a look and see what changed.

Well, with all due respect to Gundam Wing...that IS Gundam Wing fandom. XD That's supposed to be a pretty crazy fandumb, right?

Yeah, I posted TCK up. I made changes to all the things you commented on, so I think the prologue and stuff is much better now :D Thanks again for the feedback!

Gundam Wing has got to be one of the benchmark insane-o-crazy fandoms of all time. I mean, you had people altering official pix and fabricating interviews to validate their pairing preferences. I swore off fandom entirely for at least a year thanks to that sort of madness.

The "war" I saw a few years back between Eli/Ninian shippers and Eli/Lyn shippers is *nothing* compared to the most minor of GW relationship flamewars.

I'll delve into reading TCK once I get my shiny new laptop configured....
