 | : Arashi - Gen Fanfiction Recs - While it was the desire to ship certain pairings in Arashi that finally got me interested in jpop and jpop fandom, I found that I actually liked the guys for themselves and wanted more of them in just about any way and even, in some cases, beyond pairings. Of course, jpop fandom isn't exactly known for the gen, but once in awhile it still actually happens and it's fantastic. ♥ Not that often because Arashi is a pretty tiny fandom compared to most to begin with and gen isn't exactly the attraction, but I am totally looking for it. I fell for this band because of their obvious care for each other and dorky antics. In my opinion, that will never happen enough in fandom, too. ♥ |
 | : Arashi - Aiba/Jun Fanfiction Recs - These two are the real reason I'm completely insane about jpop, because somehow I'm weak to the evil bitchy fashionista who is not-so-secretly smooshie on the inside type and then there was Aiba who is quite possibly the hottest thing in Japan even if I still miss the blond/orange look and they were constantly hanging around each other and... okay. I have a thing for the bitchy one and his retard boyfriend of pairings, which is a bit too simple to truly describe them, but it's a lot of what I love and made me fall so for them in the first place. Really, really hard. To the point that I'm kind of insane about them. ....shut up. |
 | : Arashi - Ohmiya Fanfiction Recs - I don't want to meet the person who isn't at least a little charmed by Ohno and Nino's antics, seriously. I mean, how can you look at that picture of Ohno pinching Nino's cheeks (and, god, the look on Nino's face! XD) and not have some sort of attack of the cuteness? Plus, they're constantly touching and are totally adorable together and I just. I flail a lot at the cute, even if my obsession lies elsewhere for now. (And even if I didn't love them, they get the majority of fandom's attention, so it's hard not to be caught up in the love. <3) |
 | : Arashi - Other Fanfiction Recs - Honestly, I didn't think I would branch away from the gen or my two favored pairings. But at some point I realized that I kind of had a thing for Matsujun and I would really like to shove him at pretty much all of the band. Which may have developed into a slight Ohno/Jun thing. (And by "slight", I mean "huge".) I also think Nino/Jun would destroy the world, laugh hilariously at it, then destroy each other and love each other all the more for it. And I just want one good Aiba/Nino/Jun fic from an author I trust. And after that I realized that Matsujun/Akanishi Jin might be kind of hot in the right circumstances (read: hatesex). And then I started thinking, you know, it might be awesome to read world-destroying Aiba/Nino fic. And this is where I ended up. |
 | : Arashi - Fanvid Recs - It almost seems a bit strange (and yet, in another way, completely sensical) that there are fanvids for a band that already has music videos that they themselves make. Which is probably why I generally don't go for the videos set to Arashi's own music (unless they're one of the more upbeat songs like Nice na Kokoroiki or Hadashi no Mirai), instead going for the more humorous ones. If a fanvid can make me giggle or grin because it's just so delightfully whacky, then I'll probably like it. |
 | : Arashi - Fanart Recs - There... there is Arashi fanart. I figured there'd be at least some doodles here and there to be found. But actual sites? Ones with art where I can recognize the guys? I... didn't quite expect that! I go wherever the fandom will take me, which oddly enough usually means Sho/Ohno fanart mostly. Some Ohmiya as well. Some gen sites, too. Hopefully, this will (eventually) be a mix of Japanese sites and English sites. I'll try to cover a wider range, but it's not like this is another Prince of Tennis fandom. ....yet. *rubs hands together* |
 | : JE - Jin/Yamapi Fanfiction Recs - This is all fandom's fault, because Pin gets so many fantastic writers and I fell for Arashi first and then went, well, there's some really nice Pin fic here, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to just read a little of it, since I have a basic idea of who these guys are... cut to a few too many brilliantly written fics later and now I can't get enough of them. ): I still resent being even somewhat dragged into KAT-TUN/NEWS, but at least the fic is really fun and I do greatly enjoy Retard #1 with Retard #2 and their moronic antics. ♥ |
 | : JE - Jin/Yamapi/Kame Fanfiction Recs - ....I want to shoot myself for this one. I'm not particularly a fan of Kame or the way fandom portrays him a lot, but after watching a little more of Nobuta wo Produce, I kind of developed an interest in Yamapi/Kame interaction and while the Pikame fic itself kind of scares me, a handful of Pin writers have written Akamepi that resonates with my own take on them and... well. Here's where I found myself winding up again. I still refuse to like KAT-TUN, though. No. |
 | : JE - Other Fanfiction Recs - Occasionally, there's a random pairing on the side or in the background. Or maybe I'll find more than three Pikame fics that I like. I'll probably mirror any Jun/Jin fic in this catagory as well. Whatever it is that I'll lob into this catagory, every time I have a big enough section, I need a good miscellaneous page to toss all the extra stuff I don't know how to sort otherwise onto. This is that one here. |
