1. The Challenge

The Love/Hate Suzaku Challenge

Hello! Welcome to the Love/Hate Suzaku Challenge! I'd first like to state that this is not so much a challenge for me to write, but more of a challenge I'd like to issue for the Code Geass community here. If that sounds interesting to you, please read on.

So how did I come up with this ridiculous idea? Well, I've been a Code Geass fan for years now and I still like to revisit and reflect upon, what I consider, one of the greatest animes ever produced. And while I love the show, I've always found Suzaku to be annoying and hugely hypocritical. To my shock, however, I found out that Suzaku was well liked by many people, and I've seen many fanfics written about him. Granted, I've never read any that had Suzaku as the main character, but I've read a few with Suzaku in them and I've only really liked him when he's been depicted as a more mature person (which is absolutely OOC). So, I figured that I'd put out some of my opinions on him, and see what the community has to say.

So here's how it'll go: I will be writing some one-shots and maybe a rant or two that will very much be Suzaku!Bash (in a hopefully tasteful and entertaining way) to illustrate everything that I hate about the character. Then, you may respond with your own opinions through whatever means you wish, be it a review, a PM, your own fanfiction, etc. Ideally, there will be enough of a response for me to maybe put up some chapters so we can have some sort of pseudo-conversation/debate.

Thus, all opinions and viewpoints are welcome, especially from those who really like Suzaku! I'm absolutely fascinated to hear what you might find likeable about him, so if you have something to say, please do!
