It's nice to know some people from the OP fandom know of me. XD 'Tis an honor writing smarm for anyone who wants to read it.
I used to be an active member of the GW fandom -- that was a few years ago. I know what you mean about not being able to find fanfics that suit your taste. That's sort of how it was with me for pretty much any fandom I went into. There were a lot of good ones (amidst the bad and the ugly, as in almost any fandom), but very few actually struck that smarm chord. Especially in GW. In fact, I really can't recall ever reading a GW fanfic that wasn't het or yaoi somehow. Either that, they just focused on one character. <.<...plus, people just got so snarky about their favorite pairings. It was scary.
I know what you mean about having a hard time adjust to the OP fandom for fear of spoilers. I had to just go ahead and order the HK subs myself, like you. It's very difficult to mingle there if you don't have some knowledge of OP up to the Arlong story arc. Although, I have seen some people do it successfully. They gave away a lot of the series for themselves, though. It's good you're watching the anime. The voice acting his fantastic, in my opinion, and really brings everything to life.
Thanks for the encouragement in writing! XD I'll try and write plenty so you won't have to chain me up and make me write where "morbid" things happen to our favorite fictional friends. *laughs*
