Like Bowser/Peach, it's got potential for interesting fic if the author's willing to flesh it out. But it's usually tripe that pisses me off. Why? The fics either neglect clearly important characters or bash them.
I think I'm noticing a theme in ships I can't stand. Stuff that can be cute when done right but more than often makes me want to tear my hair out. Let's compare, shall we?
( In Which Puri Uses Terms From TVTropes! )
So, what brought this up? Puri was reading a few drabbles someone posted, and they were actually pretty good, particularly a Darkrai/Shaymin piece. Then Puri got to the Darkrai/Alice drabble. The writing is still good. The author has ton of potential. So far, so good. Let's see...
( Wow Like, Tonio is Such a Jerk! )
Right. Just needed to vent. I'm fine and dandy with friendship *see icon*, but unless you're a really good writer and I trust you, I'll likely to get hives and flare up if it's romantic. D:
