Warning: Labels

May I say that I truly do not like the entire business of warning labels and trigger labels on fanfiction?

Long. Irked. Or irksome, depending on your viewpoint. )

TL;DR-- why is fandom being held to a higher standard of warning label than any real-world medium I can think of?

Three simple rules )

That's it for now.  Dinnertime.

Update on Nothing Much

 Yeah, I've written ONE line of dialogue this week.  Yay.

Work + extra-curricular activities have lead to borderline burnout.  I've become a passive consumer of entertainment-- too tired to write, too tired to play my new copy of HeartGold, reduced to sitting in front of the computer screen watching cartoons and machinima.

Recommendation:

Raishi Tsuwabuki has some pretty spiffy SSBB animated videos up on YouTube.  They range from super-fluffy to super-duper disturbing.  Primary focus is Ness and Lucas from the Mother series, Link, and Red the Pokemon Trainer.  Almost everything has overtones of shonen ai, including allusions to my least favorite pairing in the videogame universe, Marth/Roy.  [Words do not suffice to explain how much I hate that pairing.  Even Ike/Pit, which I also loathe, doesn't come close.]  But the style is very pleasing to the eye... and the idea of li'l Ness as a serial killer with a collection of severed hands in pots is just not something you're likely to come across anywhere else.

Anyway, I have the germ of an SSB: Melee 'fic sprouting in my brain now.  Must... resist... evil.

Why Marth and Roy do NOT belong together )
