Look before you leap

Ooh. Well, I've been in a bandwagon kinda mood these days, so when news of a yaoi FMA community sprang up in the NORMAL FMA community, I went and hopped on. This was last night, okay? I was crazy last night. And also I didn't stop to think about posting problems.

Specifically, whatever I pictures put up next, I'm pretty sure it's going to have straight AND gay stuff, and I don't want to separate them. I want all my weird fandom couples to be together in a HAPPY ANARCHY---or to be more honest, I like posting things in bulk because if something stinks, I have other stuff around it to make it better. I can please more people at once. And EdTri kind of evades categorization, so which community would I put THAT in? Christ.

So now I'm just not sure what to do. I don't know the etiquette here. Would it be punishing my ADORING PUBLIC to just put a link to the appropriate entry in each community and make them sort through for the goodies themselves? Should I just separate them, even though the only thing I have to put in the het community is EdTri and MAN I'm not sure they'd like that? Should I just put one link in the main FMA community and be some kind of elitist exclusive person who only sells the most wonderful toys at Comiket and not on the web...rrf.

Mmmmf. I'm kind of zombie again today.

SAY "FUCK YOU BITCH" and post it. Who the hell cares? The mod didn't make a post about keeping your yaoi/yuri/het pairings out, so DON'T LISTEN TO IT. EVIL.

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

But do I have to say the "FUCK YOU BITCH" part? :B

[selphish.livejournal.com]

No. XD

What she said. The mod hasn't said to stop pairing-posting, so fuck that. Just post the way you always have. You put everything behind links with descriptions in any case. Happy anarchy is good.

Neither the het or yaoi comms strike me as having been started in good faith or good sense. They're just flame wars waiting to happen.

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

...I was kind of thinking I might just do the same thing as always. So. Yeah.

Part of the other reason for marking images as het, yaoi, shonen-ai, shojo-ai, gen, and whatnot, is because some people do read at work. And saying, "it's not work safe" just isn't quite enough. Actually rather vague, because what some people think isn't work-safe is pretty damn tame. Just keep posting on the fm_alchemist, with links and whatnot, label everything as consistently and concientiously as you can manage (or feel up to), and let the cards fall where they may.

Besides, I don't wanna miss out on your artwork.

Are you the person who's compiling all the fan-goodies into that website? OMG, I sacrifice virgin RoyEd unto you!!!11 Um, I mean, you can put my stuff up there. (゜∇゜＞ If you want. (I dunno if you really want the sketchies and whatnot. And more work. XB)

Gee, I never really used the phrase "work safe," but I think it's what I use to rate things. Which is why PG-13 is still pretty tame.

It's still hard to let the cards fall where they may, though. The thought of getting mixed up in something stupid just makes me want to hurl =_=

sacrifice virgin RoyEd?

*blinks*

Uh. Okay. Thanks, I think.

(heh)

Yup, I'm da idiot doing the coding. And yes, I want sketches. I LIKE sketches. Actually, sometimes sketches are more powerful than the finished, neatened, colored products, but being a sketcher myself who's never gone past charcoal and chalk, I may be biased.

Emily recommended you, and she just sent me a list of links of where to find your pictures. Wee! More coding! ;D

Virgin RoyEd...the ultimate question---WHO IS THE VIRGIN?! >:O

RAR. XB Um, thanks. (Or thanks EMILY. Yay! XBB)

[branchandroot]

...oh my god. I never thought of that. What if Roy *were* a virgin?

o_O

Baaaah! Oh dear. I think Ed's gonna make me write this.

...if I can wrap my brain around it.

But, anyway, Robin rocks! So make sure to tell Sol when you update with piccies.

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

HYAAAAH! OMG! But what if he WAS?! XDD *squishes Roy for being innocent*

Actually, I don't see it happening. I mean, there's just too much pimping girl-liking Hughes "fine young man" to him. He has a reputation for being a player, there were probably a bunch of girls who thought he was dreamy in high school, just lately I have decided that Roy and Hughes probably hit on girls together (songs about "Wing Maaaaan" come to mind), and maybe the corrupt, horrible military had some kind of USO strip-tacular...he has to have fooled around with some girls.

Oh, my god, but did he ever actually put his cock in them?

...ohhh, my god... *covers mouth and looks at Ed sideways*

Ed: Yeah?

Robin: You STOLE Roy's virginity!!! *falls back into giggling helplessly*

Ed: ... *looks annoyed and meanders off*

That made me think, though, what kind of girl would Roy have dated in high school? If he dated at all?

[scimitarsmile.livejournal.com]

That could go two ways - either he was the so-concentrated-on-purpose that he didn't even NOTICE girls (or did, had no idea what to do, and left them the hell alone), or he ended up with girls and wasn't sure how they got there.

In the flashbacks, he's just so...young, and naive. I think a great deal of his character development occurred between the war and now, and if he's a player, it seems like a great deal of it is a facade, to me. I'd expect him to flirt with and pay attention to women that somehow could forward his own goals. Y'know, date the right people, be seen at the right places, but never really cross the boundaries of detachment.

Hm, it's entirely possible he could be a virgin, if he just strung girls along and never quite got that intimate - for a variety of reasons, but I don't see Roy willingly becoming emotionally intimate even if he did so physically...

I am procrastinating.

You're now up, at moumusu-art (http://www.hereticstudios.com/ssmile/fma-art/moumusu-art.asp), but I don't have an email address for folks to contact you. Do you want your LJ listed as a website, something else, or nothing at all? Up to you. ;D

[runan.livejournal.com]

I gave...someone...permission to use my Sailor Roy and Sailor BeanEd pic for their site, and now I have no idea who it was...o.O;;.

Roy the virgin...would be INSANELY cute.

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

OBSCENELY cute.
