A little rant about the fangirls. This will apply to anime in general, but I will speak from experience with Ronin Warriors fandom.

So... I'm going to be very bitchy and harsh.

First of all, do not ever claim a Ronin or any bishounen. Flame wars will happen if you do this shit.
Secondly, do not ever FUCKING CLAIM THAT YOU ARE PREGNANT BY THAT PARTICULAR CHARACTER. (I once got into a flame war over with some twit who claimed to be pregnant with twins by Seiji.) 
If I see this, the fangirl who pulls this shit has no respect from me for trying to claim something that's only ink and paint. You got me. Ink and paint. They do not exist. Get a fucking life.
(I know that I've pulled something like this back then, but claiming, yes. NEVER the pregnancy shit. I've gotten over it.)
Besides, having a boyfriend who is flesh and blood is much better than a bishounen. A bishounen is only eye candy, nothing more. A bishounen cannot hug you for he is only ink and paint. A boyfriend who is flesh and blood can hug you and do so much with you.

So... that's my rant. I ranted about this subject early at www.roninlounge.com because of a member's signature was very offensive and ronin-claming. It went something like that. "Ryo is mine! *throws rocks at whoever tries to grab him away*".  I lack respect for that member.  However, the messageboard is run by very good admins and mods. :) The situation was taken care of anyway. @_@;

I don't mind if the claims are joke-type, but if they're SERIOUS... *shakes her head* get your butt in a mental hospital. -_-;

Bah, someone really need to write a rule book or something about writing Anime Fanfic... but IF there is, just ignore this one. I may sound slightly harsh, but... the rules are necessary to keep in mind. They may -SEVERELY- limit some types of fanfics, but hey, you don't want to get bashed by other people. _-_;

RULES:
1) If you're going to put in a new character, DO NOT GIVE ALL THAT SPOTLIGHT TO THAT CHARACTER. Remember: You're writing about Ronin Warriors (or anyone else)... it should be on them ONLY.  The character MUST be a background character... unless... you feel like going ahead and giving the character some spotlight time, but hey, remember to not over-do it.  (I over-did and my fanfics turned out rather shitty.)
a) If female, DO NOT pair her up with any bishounen. That'll be too much of a sterotypical "Mary Sue"... rather, have the character with someone else (like, another character of YOUR OWN CREATION!)... or preferably, single and not interested.
b) Same rules apply for Males... except don't pair them with Mia, Kayura, Luna, Naria, and Suzunagi. (Though, who the hell would want to date Suzunagi?)
c) If a pet... I don't know.

2) Bad guys... well, crikey... you can use them... even old ones or new ones, but for old ones that have been previously defeated, come up with some plot hole-reason for them being back.
Example: Gogasha was a baddie that Shu defeated in a YST Drama CD... but I brought him back because the demon looked familiar to me... (odd) even though, in the series I'm working on... Gogasha is some demon using the alias of someone who was defeated. Natch.

3) DO NOT switch from Ronin Warriors to YST terms/names in a fanfic. This will be severely confusing and it's helpful if you stick with one version... but some people may be compelled to mix both... sticking with the Ronin Warriors names while using the YST information. That's just little confusing as seeing how they have different ages in both versions.

4) Remember... the readers should consider the fics as "What if?"... like an alternative universe, perhaps? Like Seiji being with Natsui... and Ryo and Mia? I know that the pairing of either is ridiculous, but I don't bash them.

5) If you're unsure of school locations or anywhere else... just ask people for help! Honestly, I do NOT know if Hana High is an actual high school used in YST... it seems to be the most widely used name since Mrs. Strata put up her excellent fanfics. (And since then... she and her fics have vanished! >.<)

6) If you see anything ANCIENT written by an idiot named Kia Purity, remember, she was learning! Also, if you see her recent Mega Man X fanfic, you'd know that she's improving... (somewhat... DANG COMEDY ELEMENT FOLLOWS ME TOO MUCH!)

7) By the way, Seiji is not a flirt. Die.

That's all for I have now. @_@ I suck.

Hrm, here's some recent thoughts.

One of these bothers me is the Mary Sue cases. *sigh* It's a VERY touchy issue. I learned from my mistakes and I'm still in the process of changing my stories. Another... the plargisming of other Ronin Warriors sites.

Look, I know the information is OVER USED lately but... where's the credit? Come on. *sigh* These things are what makes me almost want to give up on this section. That's all I really have to say for now... if I want to add anymore to this... I'll let y'all know.

Hmmm. I just don't understand why people put up a bashing page. Seriously, the characters contribute to the series. I'm not a biased person because I realized how the characters were extremely vital to the storyline. If some of the characters were taken out, the plot would be dull, wouldn't it?  Same goes for every series.

Plus, I can't help my habit of flipping from RWs to YST... mainly because I want some of the people to understand the stories I'm trying to write to combine those elements that they kept in RWs but left some out in YST.  I will not write about Hariel because he does not exist in YST... he was only a plot device for the RWs writers to explain the Inferno Armor.  I do not know if the armor was actually worn by someone before Ryo in YST series but I do know that Badamon was the one who created the armor.  I was given this information at a time when I didn't know who created it and assumed a princess did.  I'm thankful that I got the information sooner and saved myself some trouble.  But.  Who created the Black Inferno armor?  I'm not going to write any explainations on this unless I get some reliable information.  I will write about things that I already know and I will not add in any pointless characters which would mess up the plot.

However, Fate is just a speculation, nothing more.  She's more of a spiritual being, maybe something like Suzunagi, perhaps? She'll only be in the two stories and the series will end from there.  The ending of the series will be just... that. Maybe rather crude? I don't know for sure, but I do know that it'll basically follow the lives of my characters SEPARATE from the RWs to save everyone the trouble.

** I totally understand why Kayura is hated. I mean, she's very Mary-Sueish when she shows up and beats the shit out of everyone. That just pissed me off. I mean, I had to deal with people bitching about Mary Sue? KAYURA IS THE MARY SUE, GODDAMNIT. I hated it when she wouldn't get hurt and she'd just mock them. A scratch on the gold plate? A SCRATCH? *smacks Sunrise* She got better when she turned good. She was just awful when she was evil because it looked like nothing could hurt her. Hell, EVEN Arago got hurt!
