Touching on my Keyboard
No owning nuffin.
On exams. Do not piss me off with 'lack of updates' reviews.
Nana didn't hate newbies, in fact, she enjoyed showing new authors the ropes around . What she did hate, was the ignorant English-speaking brats who ran around abusing the Japanese language (half of them didn't even learn her mother-tongue and the other half used the few essential Anime/Manga terms poorly).
'At least there are some people who have the decency to ask,' the tri-lingual teenager thought as she typed back a hasty reply to a review someone had left her- she had a brawl in ten minutes and she didn't want to be late.
'Yes, I'm glad you think stripper Pit is hot. Personally, I prefer writing the character of Panty-Link. However, I'd like to quickly address one thing; Link and Pit with Samus is an ecchi story. I appreciate your concern but the warning was listed in the summary of the story. I do not need to label this as 'lime' cuz it's essentially the same thing. I apologise for the lack of smut scenes, but ecchi is milder then hentai. When you describe 'ecchi' it means humorous indecency, gratuitous nudity and sexual situations. However, hentai which pretty much pure porn/smut/lemon fics. I hope this cleared this up! Thanks for the review'
The teenage girl smiled as she clicked the 'send' button and switched her laptop off. Seeing intelligent reviews and good questions gave her hope. Language was important to her, and asking questions proved that people wanted to be informed. Not all cyberlurkers were arrogant, obsessive Otakus... but (surprise, surprise) some of them seemed normal. Maybe the next generation of bloggers and fanfic writers wouldn't be complete morons after all. She hoped that all people would understand the colloquial fan-terms someday.
And now her hope was squished.
"Hey guys, have you heard?" The Ice Climbers had just stepped out of the Brawl stadium and were in a cheery, chatty mood. However, when both turned around to see Ness running towards them-obviously puffed out from running around the whole manor spreading the news- they knew to fall silent
"No. What's up Ness?" the blue climber said. The psychic took a deep breath. "You know how we usually order a bunch of comics?" Of course they did. When the TV was being hogged by the adults -what the hell was a 'Superbowl' anyway?- the kids depended on handheld consoles and graphic novels to keep them entertained.
"Yeah..."
"Well, Master Hand checked what we ordered and turns out the receipt said someone bought a yaoi book." His face was etched in dramatic horror, and it was quickly mirrored by both Ice Climbers for different reasons.
"Dude, I'm going to vomit! Don't mention that stuff to me!" He shivered in almost-trauma into the fetal position, "Yaoi is the work of fangirls! The most evil type of fangirl there is! I heard once that a fangirl paired Ike and me up! It's so gross!" Immaturely, the blue-clad twin began to mock-gag. Despite the severity of the situation, Nana's features couldn't help but pull into a smirk, but possessed pale look of dread on her face.
Deadbeat.
She couldn't believe they had found her distributor of yaoi and shounen-ai? But she had been so careful! Saving all her money so she could order it from the next town, using a fake name to get her Doujinshi (fan-made manga) and reading only in her room at night when Popo was snoring. Now, you may think that was a little extreme, but a good 10% of whatever she had was Super Smash Bros related AND involved the people she was closest too.
"Do you know who?" Nana tried to ask casually. What would Ness say if he learnt that she had ordered NessxToonLink hardbacks? What would her brother say if he found PopoxIke books matched the ones, hidden in the linings of her sheets? She was royally screwed if they really did find out she was buying these things. Her voice shook but thankfully, the PSI boy barely noticed the pink-clad girl.
"Nup. It's weird though... I thought shounen-ai was supposed to be a boy's manga. Lots of action, lots of fighting... the stuff we usually get." The brunette girl's eyes widened. Something had just crossed her mind.
"Was... anything else out of the ordinary ordered?" Ness looked at her, confused for a moment. He racked his brains. "I'm just asking and-" the psychic suddenly snapped his fingers and gave a nod. Her hopes climbed up. "Yeah! There was a bunch of yuri texts that came in the mail as well! I don't know how that happened." In a moment of blessed epiphany, she had figured out that she wasn't caught after all. She gave a wide smile.
"What are you so happy about... I knew it! You're a lesbian!" shouted Popo. Nana growled irritatedly before whacking her brother on the upside of her head. Ness snickered and even with her brother's idiocy, Nana still smirked at his pain.
She knew she was safe.
Because Nana Climber didn't buy Yuri manga.
"Bakas! Bakayarou! Urusai Baka! Jiguko e ike kono ama!"
Nana usually was a rational person, but when it came to defending the people and things she adored her attitude would become a moldy lemon. Sour and horrible. She resisted the urge to slam her head on the desk, to avoid any damage to her keyboard, and stared at the screen.
The morons outside mistook shounen for shounen-ai? They mistook a young male's comic for a girl's cute, mild boy love? Disgraceful! She didn't even hang around the yuri archive that much and yet, she was mad enough to defend thousands of lesbian couples right there and then. Shoujo manga may be more similar to shoujo-ai but there was a clear distinction between girl's in love and girl's love!
Nana ended up jumping on the bed and screaming into her pillow. This reminded her of so many incidents where she was bombarded with stupid questions in the fanfiction forums. No! Bishoujo and bishonen didn't mean the characters were bisexual. Why didn't anyone understand prefixes denoting beauty? Why was it so hard for people to learn a few simple words? Did she have to go online and type up a dictionary for these fools?
"Calm down Nana, it's not a big deal," she muttered as she got up and took a deep breath. She was overreacting. There would always be idiots on the internet that couldn't tell a seme tops, an uke bottoms and a semuke swings both ways. There would always someone who doesn't understand the power of moe. There would always be people who wouldn't get yaoi or Yuri.
It wasn't a big deal... in fact, she'd enjoy trying to get people to be more tolerant.
Nana Climber would try convert the internet to accepting yaoi!
... Shut up, I know it's a vent poorly disguised as a chapter. Feel free to yell.
Here's a summary of the chapter: Ness and Master Hand get confused over the term Shounen-ai to shounen manga and same with shoujo-ai to shoujo manga. They got the wrong order and because they are unfamiliar with the terms, they associate the whole box to yaoi and yuri. Oh, we also learn learn Nana is perving on yaoi of her friends and she's very paranoid.
I know I should be updating my stories... but should I (or one of my friends) start up Nana's Fanfiction profile? I have her stories more planned out then my own XD!
