Oh, I don't really care about Shima. It's not up on Youtube or the site I use, so I can't watch it right now anyway.

That's good that it's 3rd on the list. It's pretty popular then, isn't it?

it's basically the only monthly title in the top 5, and in the top 10 the only other monthly title is 9th place (Kimi ni Todoke). and then you have the fact that places 4-10 are all in the 4 million range with AoEx in the 5 million range and it's pretty spectacular. if it's selling enough that the total sale of volumes of the manga per year puts it in that range, on par with weekly series that have more volumes released per year, it's VERY impressive and obviously pretty damn popular.

Too bad Naruto's beating them both. I can't say much about One Piece since I never did get into it, but I don't like Naruto at all. I'm glad that Ao no Exorcist is not far behind it, and I hope that Ao no Exorcist can surpass it in sales.
I'm hoping by the end of next year it at least stays at 3rd place, or better yet, make it to 2nd place. it's good enough it deserves that spot.

I agree, it does deserve 2nd place.
This is really awesome that it's actually third. heart I mean, wow. It's really come so far in the past year. It got popular pretty fast! I'm glad to know my favorite series is doing so well. biggrin

Wow, it's doing awesome if it's in the top three, being a monthly release. Hope it keeps up with these kinds of sales. <3

Mou, the AmaiRin fan fiction I was reading hasn't been updated since October 2nd.
I think the author gave up. *tear*

I'm starting to see another rise in fans mistaking Night for Yukio again...

granted, I'm also seeing more people who know who Night is, but still...geh. I may just have to rave about how awesome Night is so that more people know about him (which I was thinking about doing anyway because I am somewhat obsessed with him).

Yes, well... I won't comment on the way that fans will fan over stuff. xD I already gave my opinion on the matter of fans and their fanning with the issue of Amaimon being given a last name... *eye twitch*

Some fans are just delusional. In a different way than other fans, at least.

speaking of the last name thing... I saw this really crappy Shiro/OC pornfic the other day... the OC was Mephisto's younger sister, Elizabeth Pheles.

I facepalmed for SO MANY reasons. the whole last name thing AND the OC having my given name combined was almost enough to make me want to throw something (preferably at the writer) on its own, not even mentioning the piss poor writing and craptastic attempt at porn.

Actually, there's a user on Squiby who has OCs for KHR and AoEx. And her OCs are somewhat look-a-likes of canon characters, either gender bent or just younger/older versions. Her KHR OCs didn't bother me much (though they were "children of the arcobaleno" or something like that) but her AoEx OCs are quite literally based off of Amaimon and Mephisto, and they do have the last name of "Pheles" and God knows whatever relation to Mephisto.

Even though I myself have a KHR OC, I've never, ever felt the need to make any OC that's a relative of some sort to a canon character. That's just a huge turn off for me. neutral

And eugh, Shiro/Anything porn just makes me shudder. gonk

yeah, some OCs are okay... but seriously, certain types are just ugh... there are cases in fanfics and roleplays where introducing an OC works, but when people forget certain key parts to creating a quality OC... gonk scream seriously, it's not that hard to create a good OC, or at least keep your fantasies to yourself, but subjecting the masses to badly created characters and sub-par to godawful writing... *sigh*

and when people write poorly written fanfics just to have their OCs wind up with one of their favorite characters or make sure their favorite pairing happens it just makes me twitch. and people who shove their uberpowerful OCs into fanfics or roleplays as wish fulfillment and think they've created the best thing since sliced bread and that takes any critiquing of their OC or writing as a personal attack are even worse (especially when they also pair their OC with one of their favorite characters).

My KHR OC was meant for roleplaying purposes, actually. That's why I created her. But I have done one piece of writing involving her spending a day running errands with Tsuna. It wasn't anything romantic, and I don't really remember it much now.

And I've had no desire to write anything AoEx related involving an OC with any of my favorite characters. I do have my fantasies but those will remain known only to me for good reasons. Reminds me, I was looking through DA the other day and browsing the favourites of a friend of mine, and there were a few OC / Amaimon arts in her faves. Made me twitch, they were so badly drawn and Amaimon was so moe-moe-sparkly-desu OOC.

Makes me sick just to think about it, really...
I dunno though, I tend to be really, really sensitive and touchy when it comes to what I see involving my favorite characters. The past few nights I've seen a few images of Amaimon being tortured and raped by Mephisto and it's irked me enough to lose sleep. Kind of pathetic I guess, that I'm so attached to fictional characters to the point where something like that would bug me so much... But whatever, I'm not ashamed of it.

I've made some OCs to be secondary characters in a couple fanfics I did, mostly as a way to keep the plot moving and coherent. it was for Slayers fanfiction, after all, and with a cast of canon characters THAT eccentric even the canon material often tosses in side characters to keep them on track on occasion. and I have done some OCs for RPs back when I was roleplaying a lot, but I always took in mind the series they were for, what kind of storyline the people running it were setting up, and then created them with the care I'd create a character for one of my original works. and I've never created one for the sole purpose of setting them up with any other character, canon or not (altho there was one from a Slayers RP that wound up in a slightly dysfunctional relationship with another OC that started out on the opposite side, neither that character's player or I really knew how it turned out that way, either, it was kind of amusing, especially when we had goof off chat RP sessions when we couldn't get everyone together and had our characters do stuff like play Truth or Dare).

but really, the only OOC stuff I've ever done was for non-series RPs and the occasional gagfic. there's a time and a place for OOC, especially if it's something you're going to let anyone who wants to see it see it.

and I swear, I do get over obsesses and protective over some characters on occasion myself. there was one series of novels I read where the last in that trilogy (which took place after several other works by the same author) where I wound up sobbing because of what happened to some of the characters (some died and some were otherwise harmed by the events, including one character introduced in the previous trilogy getting his face horribly burned and the likable main character in that one getting blinded). I was depressed for a good two or three days and I still get all teary when I read that part.

I have a ton of OCs at my disposal. But Taellra is the only one that's supposed to be series-involved (and her appearance is borrowed from the first OC I ever made, sadly). It's fun to RP with OCs though, even more so when things like that happen and you don't know how or why. I'd like to RP again but I don't have anyone to RP with anymore.

The only time I've ever done anything OOC was my one-shots that are AU to my Dissension story's timeline. And the sole purpose of those is to test compatibility between my characters, in terms of pairings (there's two canon pairings, but I do love to experiment). If I ever wrote anything OOC involving canon characters from anything, I'd never show it to anyone. Ever. e_e

i'm horribly possessive and protective over my two top favorite characters. And if I see something I don't like, it really pisses me off. Even more so when my imagination takes me down roads I don't want to travel... I've cried a few times because of thoughts I've had, or scenarios that have played out in my mind, especially recently regarding Amaimon of all people. I hate it... But since I'm not the only one to cry over 2D characters it's not so bad, I guess, in the end...

I love this show. It's not as suspenseful as Tiger & Bunny, or Stein's Gate, but the characters are likeable, and I find the situations relate-able. I can't get enough of it, although I was quite bored of the first episode. Though, a few episodes later and I loved it!
I'm seeing discussion about OCs here. I love OCs, personally. Good OCs though. Mind if you tell me about 'em? I'd like to hear about them~~~
