What's your take on crack pairings? Is fanon a horrible thing or do you find the varied world a breath of fresh air from the more common pairings. I'm saying this especially in relation to yami no matsuei by the way. What's your favourite crack pairing in YnM? What's the weirdest one you've ever seen? Are you a shipper of a crack pairing and if you are what attracts you to that particularly bizzare couple and do you see it actually working? Has anybody seen a fanon pairing fanfic that has pulled it off? Have you thought of crack pairings but are too shy to come out of the closet, or too lazy to write one in fic? Well look no further then this humble little thread... I'm very intrigued and undecided in my take on YnM crack pairings which is why I want to know what others think. So jump aboard and lets hear your opinions. I don't have favourites at all because I haven't explored the fanon/crack pairing fandom of Yami no Matsuei yet, but I have spotted some rare pairings so far..... Oriya x Hisoka Muraki x Watari Tatsumi x Hisoka The shikigami ~Coco

Is it different from an alternate pairing? A rare pairing? I think that some people who like uncommon pairings probably wouldn't like to see their favorites labled "crack." It's also important to remember that one of the most popular pairings in the fandom, Tatsumi/Watari, isn't any more canon that Tatsumi/Hisoka. _________________ But I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free. I'm resolved to being born and so resigned to bravery.

I've never thought about the implications of crack before, but it is actually a very alienating term I could imagine canon lovers labelling those who think outside of what they're shipping. I myself have been round ff.net and no ones even brought that up before, even the crack/fanon pairing lovers and shippers. ~Coco

Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2006 10:11 pm    Post subject: Okay, you can find them all here: www.fanfiction.net/~macx She's been working on a YnM series, so the stories will be a bit confusing if you don't read them all of the way through, but the Sohryu/Terazuma starter one is "Catharsis", the Rikugo/Hakushaku one is "Phoenix", and the Enma Daioh/Muraki pairing comes in during the latest stories of the series. And currently Suzaku's paired up with someone mysterious, so you know it HAS to be crack. She also pairs up Tatsumi/Watari, Tsuzuki/Hisoka, and Touda/Byakko, and she uses also an unconventional pairing of Rikugo/Sohryu and Touda/Sohryu, which is wierd, but not so much crack as Sohryu/Terazuma. Yes, I've been following it for awhile now, but only because I want to see what wierd-ass ideas the authors are going to come up with NEXT. _________________

Thanks a bunch for those whispers of a ghost, and I hope people post more links soon as well. I'd love to know what really out there pairings are, well, out there. ~Coco

Some pairings though, one is not meant to contemplate. Or at least, I'm not--or else my brain just explodes And does TatsumixWatari count as crack? I have a weakness for that pairing, despite there being very little in the way of evidence in the manga XDD (I cooed when I realized Watari was towling off Tatsumi's hair in volume 11. Probably made him the tea, too x3) _________________

I myself was supposed to be working on a TerazumaxHisoka fic myself, not so much in the way of romance, but with a little something there. So meh. I think Yami no Matsuei fans have pretty much made TatsumixWatari canon, when I think of crack I think, *looks over horizon* pairings that are waaay out there. _________________ Admin and Editor for Yami Forums ~Coco Melancholy or ~Coco
