Not as canon as Goten/Trunks. *winks*

I also hate anything with too big an age difference: Goten/Bra, Trunks/Pan. It's just way too creepy.

Isn't that what some people use as an example for how they weren't, even though she didn't talk at all.

Isn't "Ran Ran" really just a doll?

To Thanos6:
Yeah, Ran Ran is just a doll.

...I have no explanation. XD Except for my crack theory, which is that Chaozu couldn't become ruler without being married... and there's this doll.. so... *falters* It sounds even worse typed out.

Scratch that.

I subscribe to the 'a good writer can make anything good' and 'a crappy writer can make you want to gouge your eyes out over anything' school of thought.

That being said--Goten x Bra. Just... sense not making! I can buy 'Oh, Pan has a hopeless crush on Trunks!' I can't buy anything ever coming of it, though, and Pan and Trunks are actually friends of a sort. Goten and Bra are not. So no.

And I just don't like Goku x Vegeta, but then I don't really like Goku and Vegeta much as individuals, so there you go. Never seen it done believably.

Other than that, meh. I'm afraid I like weird pairings, including a few slashy and age-gap-from-hell (and both... ) ones. In theory, anyway. Plenty of them just can't be fit into canon, and should only be attempted in an authorized alternate universe fic by a trained professional.

Or just, you know, avoided like the plague.

Uh. Sexiest thing evar!! OMG. Joking aside, I don't mind TenYam. It's one of my crack yaoi pairings. But it's not canon, so....

Or is it? Hah.
XD! You know I love you, but I HAD to ask. I especially like this image:

It is such a shame that Yamcha/Bulma and Tenshinhan/Lunch didn't really amount to anything :? .

Agreed on Tenshinhan/Lunch. I don't mind the Yamcha/Bulma breakup, though I wish they'd been a bit nicer to Yamcha.

Ah well, it lets me ship Yamcha/Puar.

Hey QD, I totally had that image on my wall at some point.... XD Funny you should bring that back!

Uh. I had that and a bunch of other generic DB/Z pictures on my wall.

I loved it because Tenshinhan looks hella good in that get-up. Yamcha having his hand around Tenshinhan's shoulders strikes me as awesome. I've always loved their relationship -- as friends, duh! -- especially considering how they started out...

Any romance between them is just a fun crack thing I like to indulge in.

Yamcha x Puar... Heh. Bestiality much? xD ^_~

:shock: Well, that makes it more interesting...

Ahem, another fan pairing that I actually have a problem with is Cell/Freeza. I think that came around because they got close in Hell. Anyway, it doesn't sit right because Cell is made up of Freeza's DNA along with the other warriors.. It's like incest, in a way.. o_0

Isn't Puar male? (We've probably already discussed this somewhere in the forums..)

(S)he uses boku, the generally male personal pronoun.

You're right! Puar is male... though I always have a hard time believing it, since he's so cute.

My position has always been that for shapeshifters, gender is irrelevant. :)

I've heard that in the anime, sometimes they just male and sometimes female forms of addressing, but I have no idea if this is true or not.

I saw this thread and thought it had been necroposted. Then I looked at the first post and realized it was started in the past twelve hours. :shock:

Lezee. Trunks/Pan was strongly implied in a fic that has become the post-GT centerpiece for the fanfic-verse for which I need a name so as not to confuse people, and it really didn't bother me when I read it since it seemed to be the accepted thing at the time.
Then I made the timeline to try and figure out where all of those fics could fit together, and it turns out that completely by coincidence the OC that got with Pan was the same age, while Trunks was like 14 years older. Unless the Pre-GT RPG that is currently in progress ends with a 10-year timewarp... I'll gladly run away.

And Goku×Vegeta.... I just don't understand. Actually, thinking about some of Vegeta's dub reactions to Goku in the later Buu saga makes me think Vegeta doesn't like the idea either.

Wait, what am I talking about... I don't think I've ever been particularly into shipping fics. Though having some blatent "x has a crush on y and maybe they eventually get together" storylines with that not as the main focus works, I s'ppose... since... you know... it's hard to find a lasting story without such a thing. THen there's stuff that finds its way to projectafter.
And from the looks of things, I should be glad that my ability to see fanart declined to futility around the time I discovered how much of it there was.

Now if you'll excuse me. *looks for a knife*

Super Z Series right? :D ... To be fair, it's a phenomenal fanfiction, but I still love Krillin/18 too much.
Never heard of Super Z. XP I've just seen a few fan arts (a couple of which I've turned into avys... hmmm.... I am getting tired of transforming Goku.....) as well as seen it in a few fics (including my own The Darkness Overcomes You fanfic).

Xyex wrote:Yamcha/Vegeta: Just what is the thought process behind this one? I'm just glad that the only story I've seen it in so far allowed me to skip passed those parts and still enjoy the overall plot.
I read that one! You shouldn't have skipped those parts, it was actually kinda good... It almost worked, since he was an Alternate Universe Vegeta.
OMG, someone else that's read Kingdom Come!? :shock: And yeah, the AU thing was about the only reason I wasn't laughing at the idea, but only Vegeta was AU. Yamcha was supposed to be series Yamcha so it's still a way out there idea.

And really, I skimmed more than skipped. Yaoi's definately not my thing but I loved the rest of the story and didn't want to completely miss out on the character developement. So I just skipped "the icky parts".

I also must admit that the initial inspiration for The Darkness Overcomes You came from Kindom Come, but it got twisted and altered into something entirely different by the time I finished planning it. XD

My sister got traumatized by an extremely graphic Goku/Goten she read years ago. Be glad you didn't stumble upon THAT incest pairing.
Oddly enough the incest pairings don't bother me so much. Of course, the Yaoi one's are pure ickiness far as I'm concerned. And the fics can never be written believabley (save one where Gohan and Pan had somehow lost their memories and much sex ensued XD) but the art looks damn good! :lol:

I just don't see it outside of a seriously altered AU. I can't see Yamcha going from "You came to kill me, I don't like you!" to "Please take me!" like, ever. So, yeah. XD
Thanos6 wrote:Yamcha/Pan: Ick. Reminds me of this website that advocates a Yamcha/Marron relationship. And that's the "Kuririn's daughter" Marron. I can't find that website now, and I think that's a good thing.
I've seen that! I think it was posted on here, in the last fan pairings thread we had. XD As was a 17/Marron I blieve. Or was that 17/Bra? Whatever. This just reminds me of another pairing I've found I liked, thanks to having written them into The Darkness Overcomes You (geez, everything seems to go back to that fic XD) and that's 17/Pan.
Thanos6 wrote:Mirai Trunks/Mirai 18: I'm sorry, I just can't see this. He's a hero, she's a sociopathic murderer with no consideration for anything who has ruined his life. I read one good fic where he lost control after coming back to the future and, well....raped her before killing her (then almost had a mental breakdown when he realized it), but as an actual relationship...I'm sorry, I just can't buy it.
:shock:

PM me the link to that fic. >>

I'll admit that Mirai Trunks and Mirai 18, within the normal universe, is definately out there. But with the proper twisting it's more easily made believable than some others. I'd believe a Trunks/18 pairing before a Trunks/Goten one, for example.

I severely dislike with a fiercely intense passion any sort of non-cannon pairing between any character that goes any farther than friendship.

Goku/Vegeta. It irks me a bit as much as the Harry/Malfoy thing. (Yet I have no problem with Bardock/King Vegeta. Go figure).
Bardock/Seripa. CANNOT.TAKE.IT. And those who imply that Seripa is Goku's mother bugs me even more. X__X
Trunks/18. I never really understood this pairing.
Bra or Pan/17. Same as above.
