Contrary to the banner, this journal is not friends only. Rather, it is semi-friends only for the reason that I like people to comment before they friend me. Why? Because I don't feel comfortable with complete strangers friending me. It's as simple as that. I don't expect anything fancy and I don't bite- just drop me a comment stating who you are and why you'd like to friend me, and, chances are, I'll friend you back. Fandoms in common help a lot, too. However, if you don't comment on this post, I won't friend you back, simple as that.

Two things: I don't friend journals that are linked to twitter/facebook/other social media (so that the majority of the posts are, for example, a conglomeration of tweets) and I don't friend journals that are mostly sales journals. If your journal is either of these things, please feel free to friend my regardless; all of my fic, icons, translations, reports, meta, and other fanworks will always be unlocked.

In the case that you happen to stumble across this journal and are considering friending, here's just a bit about me to help you out, a bit more in-depth than my userinfo.

. t h i n g s . t o . k n o w .
☆ I am a huge fan of BL. Yes, that is two males in a relationship together. That squicks you? This is not a place for you.
☆ I am a huge feminist. I go to a women's college. I am bisexual. If any of these things bother you, again, this is not the place for you.
☆ I am a huge nerd. I love anime. I fangirl over things. I occasionally sparkle-text spam. I don't know why you'd be here if you didn't know that, but if this bothers you, again, this is not the place for you.
☆ I write RPS (that is, fiction of relationships between real living people, usually Japanese actors), as well the other content that may not be appropriate for everyone. Everything I write has warnings visible BEFORE the story is visible. Please read them. If you're scarred easily, this may not be the place for you.

→ Sexy Zone - I've only recently started admitting to myself that I can possibly like a group called Sexy Zone but... here I am. My favourite is Marius (and our racial makeup is surprisingly similar, hurrah for hafu!), but I love all of them. (tags: sexy zone)

☆ Fic - You'll see a lot of this if you're friended to me. Generally, if you don't want to be spammed with it, don't friend me. I like comments a lot if you've read and liked something. (tags: archive, bl, one-shot)
☆ Art - This is rare, because despite the fact that I love making art, I'm also lazy. And not a very good artist when it comes to drawing people. (tags: art)
☆ Graphics - I make icons, friends only banners, desktops, etc. Also something I do fairly often. I now post my graphics to a graphics and caps community,

electric_boys, and would love watchers on that community, as well. (tags: icons)

They totall do! I have my doubts if I'll ever be able to experience something of the sort myself, so getting such life-like reports about it is amazing ^^

It's ok, I can understand that it's frustrating to see them like that if you've always been loving and supporting them as the 5-person team. Alas, I've been coming around when the damage had already been done, and before I even realized or found out about all the drama, I've already found myself liking their new and old stuff alike, and thusly don't feel like boycotting them because of the discovery. Though I'm definitely hoping they're gonna stay together, and that they stop treating Marius and Sou as juniors, esp. since I'm slowly starting to understand how stuff works there, and how bad it is of them to treat fully debuted ppl as juniors again.

Oh yes Hiro and Erika's relationship is definitely the best one in the series xD Kumi and Tsukasa were just WAY too awkward, esp. since it hardly became any better (though it was still cute how they were trying to make it work). Well Eiji and Mika were hilarious too, but they kinda got forgotten as the series went on, or so it seemed to me.
Actually your stories kinda make me consider to write a short sth about Kumi and Tsukasa, as I was feeling there was kind of a hole or missing piece in the presentation of their relationship toward the end, as they went from Tsukasa's 'goodbye' in ep 11 to perfectly together again the next time they showed up together in ep 12. Surely that was because of time restrictions, and after all it's not that hard to guess what came in between, it's still been sorta bothering me so I was wondering if maybe I should put it down... but it's been so long since I last wrote fanfiction. xD Well, maybe...~

I'm really glad, and I hope they continue to be fun to read!

I respect your decision, but as someone who is really upset by Marius and Sou's treatment by the agency, I just want to say that I really can't and won't be participating in any discussion of purchasing 3-member CDs or participating in 3-member events. It's my belief that paying for 3-member products is essentially telling the agency that you want to keep seeing 3-member activities (since all they really care about is getting more money), so I personally strongly disagree with it. I hope you can understand and respect my decision, too. ^^;

It seems like there weren't many fans of Hiro and Erika, so I'm glad we agree! Good luck with your writing. ^^

I'm sure they will be :)

And of course I respect your decision! It's totally understandable. And well, since I'm all new to all their stuff in general, there's also still 5-member stuff for me to get :) ... when I'm financially capable again. :D

There weren't? :O Then who did people generally favor?

I honestly didn't see that much fic for it in general, but I feel like people just weren't that interested in them because they weren't the most major characters, or something. I don't know. I've never read any other Hiro and Erika fic besides my own! XD
