Why I'll take Japanese fandoms over just about anything

[flemmings]

Because I find nothing inherently risible in the term 'venom cock' and wonder why people here are laughing themselves sick at it.

Because IMHO the whole concept could have worked if written well and where was the editor at the firm that published the book to ensure that it was?

Because all the other dragon books published here are set in fantasy worlds modelled closely on European history and I finally agree with nojojojo, that one is old. To say nothing of culturally confining.

Because while westerners are going 'sex with dragons ewww bestiality!' Saiyuuki fandom writes Hakuryuu x Hakkai.

Because if we judge by the same pictorial and textual evidence that supports Gojou x Hakkai, Hakkai x Sanzou, Sanzou x Gokuu, Gokuu x Sanzou, Sanzou x Hakkai, Gojou x Sanzou et alia ad infinitem, then Hakuryuu x Hakkai is *canon.*

And that, m'lud, is the case for the defence.

I had mythology as an elective in middle school--but one can't be surprised that they left all the good parts out, considering that the sex ed curriculum was so restrictive that, all through high school, literature teachers were not allowed to mention that certain poets were gay.

Ah, North Carolina.

I have just won the book in question in a drawing inspired by the whole dust-up, and I can't say I'm not awfully curious.

Lucky you. It appears we're dealing with Kilgore Trout Syndrome here. Well, that and the whining suffering!heroine. But people still love Lackey's Vanyel who's one of the same sort.
