Ah. I wasn't part of any fandom back then, and I've always kept myself removed from those sorts of shipping debates anyway. Unless the canon ship is actually bad, why bother? And in that case it's likely that the author is a bad one and would screw up a romance even with a more compatible couple, so it's still moot point, I think ^^;
I guess there's a use to ignoring a lot of that type of stuff- I've never had the experience of despising something because of the hype. Well, all right, there's one fantasy series which annoys me because it's famous and yet the author knows nothing of the genre and it shows, badly, but besides that... All right, I'm a hypocrite. Apologies DX
Ack, Bronzeshipping is easily the worst of the popular pairings.
She is lots of fun ^^ One thing I find odd is that even though she was always talking about wanting a dueling partner (or love slave XD), instead the few people who do talk about her seem to think she's a gold-digger. Whereas I got the impression that she'd go after any duelist with talent and a good reputation, really. Oh, and good looks. Those are important too.
I can't speak fluently (lack of opportunity for practice, mainly), but I can read comfortably and, given a dictionary, translate from Japanese to English decently. So when I get around to Volume 6 I'll do that! I've already found a store online which sells them, so I should see about ordering a few books right away... I need to figure out which bunko Otogi is introduced in, though, because I want to go over the manga version in order to write him.
