I think I just challenged someone to a smut war in the Skip Beat! fandom, LOL! She wrote half a fic and it stops just as it starts getting fun, so I'm like "BITCH! You didn't finish! Now I gotta do it!" And got a reply this morning, "I'll finish mine... maybe after you write yours!" So I respond basically "IT IS ON NOW" so I gotta write some dirty fanfic. But I actually thought of a fucking awesome premise this morning so if I get over the severe case of the giggles- my most challenging obstacle in dirty fic writing- that I always succumb to, maybe I'm up to it.
I've been re-reading the hell out of Skip Beat! This week since all the manga is on sale at Borders, and its funny because I love it, love the characters, the comedy, the challenges, the budding romances, but for probably the first time ever, I'm having a hard time shipping Kyouko with anyone. I mean, I think I'm supposed to ship her with Ren, but that guy is actually kind of a
douche. Hes emotionally manipulative and always making Kyouko feel bad, even about shit that isn't her fault like Shou.... (Valentines Day SPOILER) and that
guy who asked her out even though(/possibly because) it had nothing to do with him. She always feels like he's angry with her and she needs to apologize to him. What sort of relationship is THAT? As for Shou, I admit I love him and I love to read fic about him because he's probably the most entertaining character in the manga, and the romantic tension IZ DELEESHUS, but I can't ship him with Kyouko seriously because I think he only wants her because he can't have her. If her had her again, he'd probably dump her again. Also I still don't forgive him for hitting her. BAD FORM, FUWA.
So I guess the solution is for Kyouko to run away together with Kanae. AND NOTHING WOULD MAKE HER HAPPIER.
