The inadequacies of pairing as a label - 0 views

  • As helpful as labels and categories can be, I kind of wish we had better ones. The pairing label is often overly simplistic, it gets slapped on things that don't really deserve it, or need it, and it creates expectations that may not always be in the writer's best interest (or the reader's). And the gen label carries such a huffy, prudish connotation that it might as well be a warning.

Painting Words and Worlds - 0 views

    is study explores wordplay in the works of CLAMP, a popular Japanese mangaka (comic artist) group. Specically, it examines CLAMP's use of ateji, the pairing of kanji (Chinese characters) and furigana (a reading gloss) with dierent meanings. is allows two dierent words to become one, cre- ating meanings that transcend words' literal denitions. Original research on ateji in six dierent manga zasshi (comic magazines) and three of CLAMP's works-Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE, and Clover-identies ve distinct ateji techniques. is study focuses on the way these techniques are employed by CLAMP to express complex ideas, develop plot, and portray characters. As a technique embedded within the Japanese language, the implications of ateji use in manga extend beyond the medium of comics, pointing to shifting trends in the language as a whole.

Fanfic Symposium: Why Isn't there More Attack of the Clones Fiction? - 0 views

  • One of these reasons is that Anakin is smack in the middle of a major romance (more specifically, a major heterosexual romance.  Not sure how much that matters, but accuracy and all).  No matter how badly that romance is handled (and it’s handled pretty darned badly), we can’t deny that it’s there, and as long as Anakin is professing (badly) that Padme is the center of his universe, it’s a bit harder to throw him into bed with someone else.  Now, you could point out that this hasn’t stopped LOTR writers from slashing Aragorn with 2/3 of the Fellowship, but I would point out that the courtship there is in the past (or in the books, in a glorified footnote), and is a fairly minor part of the story. 
  • The second apparent answer, and perhaps the reason for the lack of such stories, is the lack of any “vibe” between Obi-Wan and Anakin.
  • Which brings us to the most often-cited reason: Anakin’s lack of appeal.
