The perils of animated fandoms *sadface*

[terajk]

 I'm surprised and horrified at how popular the fic/art I'm least confident about is.

moragmacpherson is hosting a self-cest commentfic meme! And I was all ready to prompt Soul Eater folks/anybody FUNimation dub crossovers (Maka Albarn/Tohru Honda! Death the Kid/dammit which Hitachiin was he?)  but then I read this

If the face doesn’t match, the character must be the same.

and now I'm sad,

ETA: I WAS WRONG! I asked the host of the meme, and characters with the same voice actor ARE welcome: just put a "(same voice)" in the prompt! My bad! *off to think of a prompt for Mousse/Light Yagami*

because INTERNET (and by "internet," I mean glass_icarus andinkstone )! While I was looking through Todd Haberkorn's filmography to see which Hitachiin he was (it was Hikaru, which I'd thought) I found this:

Shikabane hime aka (TV series) 
Ena

Oh. My. Two supernatural creatures with different alignments (possibly only for now) and overlapping obsessions? HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS BEFORE?

To cheer myself up, I prompted Black Star/Black Star; I would prompt Excalibur/Excalibur, but I don't think the universe could take it. (The thought of writing Excalibur's POV fills me with dread, personally.)

But not also pleased? :( I dunno, sometimes when that happens to me I feel like, oh, well, that wasn't as shitty as maybe I thought it was. ^^;;;

Heee! I don't watch the dubs so I got a bit perplexed, but OMG CAN YOU IMAGINE AN OURAN/SHIKABANE HIME CROSSOVER?!?! MY BRAIN. IS BREAKING.

Yes, that, too :D (I got a lovely comment on a One Piece drabble). But sometimes if something has a lot more pageviews than I expected--like that Haruhi & Nyanko-sensei drawing--I'm like: "All these people saw my terrible thing!" I have to work on not thinking that way.

DON'T SAY THESE THINGS SO CLOSE TO YOUR BIRTHDAY. I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS.

Oh my gosh, every character that Koyasu Takehito voiced should be in a giant orgy together!

[terajk]

OMG. LOOK AT THIS FILMOGRAPHY. JUST LOOK AT IT. (And this is just his notable roles.) Whoever put them all together would be a genius.

And now I want Excel Saga's Lord Il Palazzo and Excalibur together, because WOAH. (I would also like Tatewaki Kuno from Ranma 1/2 to find Excalibur, although that may create a rift in the time-space continuum or something.)

:( :( :(

Also, just parsed the thing in your post about the face not matching thus requiring the character to be the same. Soooooo basically no anime people can play? WTF is that about?

Also, just parsed the thing in your post about the face not matching thus requiring the character to be the same.

Now I think I misunderstood that part, but I'm not sure? (This meme seems to have a lot of caveats that are confusing.) Because that was specifically in reference to different actors playing the same character at different ages:

For fictional characters, you may prompt different ages of the same character, even if that character was played by a different actor onscreen. For example, Dean Winchester as played by Brock Kelly can be shipped with Dean Winchester as played by Jensen Ackles. However, you may NOT prompt Brock!Dean/Tom Hanniger (played by Jensen). If the face doesn’t match, the character must be the same.

So maybe I was wrong. (Yay!) But then I'm confused, because it also says: "We all love imagining pretty faces making out with each other. Now it’s time to imagine pretty faces making out with themselves!"

There was a question about allowing voice actors, and they are allowed, but I'm...not sure I understand the answer? (The host suggests asking if you're unsure; perhaps I should just get over my shyness and do it.)

I think now that the answer might be "yes," but I'll ask and report back. If the answer is no, I'll just host one myself :D

ETA: I did ask. *Fingers crossed*

Same voice actors equals yes!

[terajk]

I did hear back! Voice actor crossovers are allowed! The host doesn't know much about anime, so would appreciate a "(same voice)" in the prompt.

*zips away with joy*

Re: Same voice actors equals yes!

[littlebutfierce]

The host doesn't know much about anime

Yesssss, as they made evident. >_< I'm actually not even that interested in the promptfest, ha! I just get prickly when there are actual (as I've seen w/some exchanges) or invisible NO ANIME FANDOMS ALLOWED signs up.

But I'm glad you get to play! :D
