[Wordwok]

Great! I'll add you to the list!

@Wordwok: I like to ship Raven/Van from Zoids Chaotic Century/Guardian Force, Lavi/Allen from D. Gray-Man, and Etzal/Kurthnaga from Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon and Radiant Dawn.

See rare pairings. That last one is a crossover from 2 different games in the series that have nothing to do with each other. I just like pairing them up cuz I love both characters, even though I know there's no way of that ever happening. XD But yeah, these three are extremely rare to come across. Zoids is a very old fandom from my middle school days. I'm lucky to have found some good fanfiction including Raven/Van, but no fan art. D: Fire Emblem is a very underappreceiated game series, so there's not much fan art or fanfiction for anything from this fandom, but I get lucky to find some good ones once in awhile. Never any Etzal/Kurthnaga, but that's to be expected since I'm probably the only one who likes it. XD D. Gray-Man is still pretty popular actually, but it's slowly fading away every year I notice. I still find a good amount of fanart and fanfiction floating around the net, even some with Lavi/Allen so I'm happy about that.

As for how I pair them up. First of all I'm a furry artist, so everyone has to be in anthro form, cuz I suck at drawing humans. XD But this is what I'm constantly fantazising about with each pairing.

Raven/Van: It's a BDSM type of relationship, full of whips, chains, leather straps, all that sexy S&M stuff. 8D I just always thought that Raven would be into that kind of stuff cuz he's a total sadist, mercilessly killing his opponents and stalking van all over Zi just to kill him, even though he ends up teaming up with him to defeat the Deathsaurer. Whatever, BDSM FTW. XD

Lavi/Allen: This is more of a serious romance. Fluffy stuff here and there and a lot of passion. More like your typical yaoi romance commonly seen in most doujins and fanfictions. But I love throwing in some BDSM stuff in here too, cuz I just love that stuff. 8D

Etzal/Kurthnaga: This could be considered a beastiality relationship cuz Etzal is human and Kurthnaga is a Dragon Laguz (human and dragon forms), but since I'm a furry artist it's ok. XD Anyway, this is also a serious romance with some BDSM stuff. (just like what I explained above with Lavi/Allen) I have to include BDSM, I love it so much. 8D

Yeah, I know I'm pretty crazy and a bit scary, but this is what I like. XD

[Wordwok]

@shadowdragon13 WOW. xP
I've never watched/played some of the anime and games that you've formed your pairings from, but yeah it's a bit rare. Not totally "out-there" though! ^^ But, you seem really into it. Especially how you're describing them and explaining everything. xD But the more I read your pairings and explanation... I can't wait to meet you! xD

Honestly though...I'm not into furries at all. But, everyone has their own fetish/likes. BDSM is okay. I usually prefer it with my Hetalia otps. xP
The things I usually like are school centered. Sempaixkouhai, teacherxstudent, (outgoing)classmatex(recluse)classmate. Even the occasional "outlandish" pairing of the step-brotherxstep-brother. (>///<)
I usually like pairings when you know they like each other, but there are tons of stupid obstacles in the way. ... I guess that's more of liking the plot/story. ^^'

But, either way... I hope we can meet at the meeting and become friends, if possible. (>///<)

P.S. I love D.Gray-Man! I'm a bit behind... but, I really like it. I tend to be a AllenxKanda shipper though. xD

[shadowdragon13]

@ Wordwok: The furry thing isn't really a fetish, more like who I am, and who I envision myself as. As you can see by my avi here, I am a furry. That's me in my Allen fursuit armed with a lightsaber. XD I am wearing him to AX, but on day 2 only. Kinda would've been fun to attend this gathering as him (big gay white german shepherd at a yaoi gathering, sounds fitting. XD), but I have other plans for day 4. Hope the Hetalia gathering isn't at the same time as this one, cuz I want to meet you too. :3

Oh yeah, BDSM FTW. 8D Yeah, this is definately a big fetish for me. XD

Those are nice. And it's always good to have a good plot line. That's what killed Yaoi for me, cuz I could never find anything good. Everything was always lame, and boring. Plus no good plot development. But lately I've been finding some good stuff that's been restoring my faith in the fandom. Yay for good yaoi writers. Which reminds me, I still need to read the new chapter of that Raven/Van fic I was reading. Must know what happens next, it's getting good. D:

Yay, another D. Gray-Man fan. I'm also behind too. The manga site I was reading it from stopped working, so I had to find another site. Now the problem is finding the time since school and work are getting in the way. D: And I'm sorry for this but, EWW Yullen. XP I can't stand that pairing, nor LaviYu. I can never see it happening cuz they hate each other. The only pairing I really support with Kanda is Kanda/Lenalee. Now this I can see happening since she's the only person who he actually gets along with and doesn't threaten to chop up with Mugen. XD But again, I am sorry for saying that. Just thought you should know that I don't support that pairing.

[Wordwok]

@shadowdragon13 Oh, cool. It would've been totally cool to see a big gay German Shepard at the gathering! xD Maybe I'll see you prowling the halls on Day 2. I'll definitely take a picture! x3

Yeah, there are some really good yaois coming out! I have a few favorite mangaka, but they usually do school-related ones (which are AMAZING! >:-D ) I don't read much BDSM as I would like to. Only the occasion doujin of Hetalia. Or the once in awhile time where I write it in some fanfic/original. xP

Lol. Is that what the ship is called? Yullen? I like it~ ;P Oh, I think Kanda being angry/mean/threatening is because deep inside he holds a love/lust for Allen~ xD What's it called... He's being... Tsundere~ xD

I freaking can't wait for the gathering now~ xD

[shadowdragon13]

@Wordwok: Awesome, I'll be at the Shounen Jump and D. Gray-Man gatherings that day.

Heh, I love writing fanfiction. I just no longer have the time or ideas anymore. Which sucks cuz my last fic is still incomplete and it's been 2.5 years since I started it. D: I haven't done and yaoi fics myself. Don't really have any ideas. ^_^'

Yes, it's called Yullen. Where Lavi/Allen is called Laven. :3 I understand your point. That's how I've seen some Raven/Van fics develop into someting serious, cuz they hate each other too in the anime/manga. I think the reason I like that pairing is cuz I love both characters. I don't like Kanda. XD

[Wordwok]

@shadowdragon13 Cool! Hopefully I could pop by one of them.

Actually, I've only made one fanfic (non-yaoi.) xD I've done a lot of roleplaying though. Spamano~ I hope you can eventually do some writing.

Awesome. Yullen and Laven. x3 I see, I guess it would be easier to like "difficult (?)" pairings when you actually like the people you're pairing up.

[shadowdragon13]

@Wordwok: I should be easy to spot. I'll be the only fursuiter at both gatherings. XD

I've never done any yaoi roleplaying. Sounds fun. I've done a lot of general RPs, like right now I'm in a Fire Emblem RP again. I'm glad it got restarted even though there's only 3 other people RPing with me. I also played a lot of Mafia before everyone lost interest and left. I hope we start that again, it was so much fun.

Yeah, liking both characters always help someone like a certin pairing. XD

[Wordwok]

@shadowdragon13 lol. Yeah, I should spot you easy then. ^^

Yeah, they're quite fun. There was quite a bit of smut. It eventually ended though. It got in the way with my schoolwork. ^^' I used to do a lot of shoujo/clean/pure rps, too. That's cool. Rps are always fun, especially if everyone's having fun.

[shadowdragon13]

@Wordwok: Yes yes, it's always fun. Especially when there's a battle going on. Time to fight and chop up everyone to pieces with my sword. XD

[Wordwok]

Okay. I want your guys' input. Would you like to have the gathering inside or outside?

Inside it'll be near Petree Hall, sort of behind the escalators or close to the wall where you see a lot of people sitting when you near Petree Hall.

Inside option two: West Hall Entrance

Outside it'd be in Lindsey Plaza at the end closest to Concourse Hall.

The spots aren't official yet because AX hasn't set up gathering sites. But, for now these are the places that seem to be a good spot. Since, it seems it's a fair amount of people that might come. ^^

[shadowdragon13]

Maybe inside. It shouldn't bee too crowded this year like it was last year. That was crazy. O_o
Plus I like to in a place with airconditioning. XD

[Wordwok]

Okay. For now I have put up our temporary meeting place. Yay~ When AX finally posts their maps I shall finalize our spot. But, for now it is INSIDE West Hall near Petree Hall.

Hopefully I'll be able to have this finalized before I leave for AM^2.

Anyway hope to see you all there. When there's any more updates I shall post here! (^3^)/

[shadowdragon13]

I may go to AM2 is O happen to have one of the days off from work, or get out early.

But I'm going to Califur tomorrow. WOOT!!! 8D
