I am a female Asian-American. I like both slash and non-slash, and lots of different ships.

MY FANDOMS & PAIRINGS

Harry Potter: I despise Harry/Ginny. DESPISE it. Like, with the fire of a thousand suns. I can't stand it because Canon!Ginny is a complete tool. The only H/G I even consider reading is if it is part of a Harry/Harem or Harry/Multi fic, and even then it has to be EXTREMELY well-written. Otherwise, you will never find Harry/Ginny on my favorites list. I have the same disdain for Remus/Tonks, because Rowling had to commit complete character assassination on these two characters in order for them to be together. I honestly cannot understand how so many of my fellow Harry/Ginny haters actually like Remus/Tonks because this pairing is equally horrible and written just as badly if not worse. However, I find I can usually ignore this pairing in a story if the main pairing is one I like. I also dislike Harry/Girl!Blaise, Harry/Bellatrix, Harry/OC, Harry/Ron, Harry/Tonks (unless also part of a Harem fic), and I also dislike Ron/Hermione for the same reasons I hate Harry/Ginny and Remus/Tonks. They were Rowling's premiere pairing and yet they are so wrong for each other that Hermione would probably be happier dating Filch. (Bickering and hurtful insults don't equal love in my opinion.) I love Harry/Cedric, Harry/Luna, Harry/Tom, and Sirius/Remus. I also enjoy reading Harry/Cho, Harry/Hermione, Harry/Draco, and Harry/Oliver. I will usually read almost any other Harry pairing so long as it is not one I dislike.

The Prince of Tennis: My favorite pairings are Tezuka/Ryoma, Atobe/Ryoma, Fuji/Ryoma, Tezuka/Fuji/Ryoma, Sanada/Ryoma, Yukimura/Ryoma, Oishi/Kikumaru, Saeki/Fuji, Sanada/Atobe, OT5, OT6, and a lot of others that would take forever to name. I dislike Momo/Ryoma for some reason. I despise FemRyo and Ryoma/Sakuno. MINI-RANT: I can't stand Sakuno for the same reasons I can't stand Ginny. They are both blushing, pathetic fangirls with annoying personalities, and are completely useless characters who are only there for the purpose of having a crush on the protagonist. I hate useless characters more than anything. While I dislike many of the girls from Naruto (and I sort of see Hinata as a ninja version of Sakuno, albeit more useful and more sympathetic) at least they all have their own storylines and mostly serve some higher purpose in the plot. Ginny and Sakuno do neither and are therefore useless.

Naruto: This is one fandom where I prefer slash pairings over anything else. I dislike...well, pretty much every Naruto/Girl or Sasuke/Girl pairing. The reason being is that I can't stand about 90 percent of the female cast. I only like Temari and Anko, and I kind of like TenTen and Kurenai on a smaller scale. I will admit, though, a lot more of the girls have grown on me a little since Hurricane Chronicles. That being said, I would much rather see Naruto end up with Sakura in canon than Hinata, as the latter has certain character traits that still bother me--though I do like her a little better now. For that matter, I don't mind the occasional harem fic, as I have found a couple that are incredibly well-written, even though they include pairings that aren't my favorite. Otherwise, I barely touch het pairings in the Naruto fandom besides Naruto/Temari. I still like the male characters a lot better than the females. My favorite pairings are Sasuke/Naruto and Gaara/Naruto, though I will read just about any slash pairing if it's written well.

UPDATE: Now that the Naruto manga has ended, I have to say...I HATE THE CANON PAIRINGS. Almost as much as the canon pairings in Harry Potter. In my mind, Hinata ended up like Ginny; a character that had potential, but had that potential wasted by the author. Hinata is a character that was overhyped by many of her fans that didn't care if she became boring and obsolete as long as she was able to get her man. And SasuSaku is like Remus/Tonks; with Sakura yelling and crying and insisting she loves Sasuke when he has no real desire to be with her. And like Remus with Tonks, Sasuke acts as though he has better things to do than be a husband to Sakura, even though she had his kid. That last chapter was like the DH Epilogue that so many of us know and hate, complete with next generation clones with stupid names. Who names their kid Salad?

And then, if that isn't enough, Kishimoto proceeds to crap on his female characters AGAIN! Hinata, Sakura and Temari are all washed up housewives and anything that might have made them cool or interesting is gone; Tenten sits around in a shop all day and has nothing to show for her life; and Anko is a fat slob who does nothing but stuff her mouth with dango. And even after the most recent movie and Naruto Gaiden, I'm STILL not convinced that Naruto and Sasuke are actually in love with their wives. To me it feels more like Naruto settled for Hinata out of guilt and Sasuke is just as indifferent to Sakura as he's always been. Sasuke is even more apathetic towards girls who want to date him than Yagami Light from Death Note, and that' s saying something. I can't see him wanting to have sex with any woman, it's more likely his marriage to Sakura is one of convenience and Salad was conceived via artificial insemination.

FANFICTION AUTHORS WRITE YOUR CHARACTERS BETTER THAN YOU, KISHIMOTO. SORRY, BUT YOU SUCK.

A NOTE ABOUT FUTURE FICS: I have a lot of stories planned but I don't know when I'll get them posted. I want to have them mostly completed before I put them up, because I don't want to end up like so many authors who start amazing stories and never finish them. My first story will most likely be a Prince of Tennis, Tezuka/Ryoma. I'm obsessed with them right now, lol.
