30 Days of Prince of Tennis
Taken from here.
I'll write it for 30 days, but will only post it in this one entry.
1. Your favorite team and/or character
First, it was just Kaidou... as we all start off from Seigaku. My love for him still remains, but then came Rikkai, and... won, as they always do. Cosplays play a great role choosing my fav charas and vica versa, so now the nr.1 is Yukimura, closely followed by Akaya... I have my own thoughts and conceptions of Yukimura and of the Rikkai Family, so~
2. Your least favorite team and/or character
That would be... Jyosei, Midoriyama, Ginka, the American Team... those that I don't care about, and same goes for the players of these teams... and add to the list Horio and Tomoka. They're so annoying...
3. A team and/or character everyone else loves and you don't understand why
That would be Shiten... I just don't understand... and I don't really care about it, either. XD The funny thing is, I can understand the other teams, even Higa to some extent, but not the Shiten dynamics... oh, and Sengoku... why? I just don't understand... I don't see him as a great character...
4. A team and/or character that deserved more screen time
Um... Rikkai...? ... Okay, just kidding,,, or not... well, I'd love to watch canon team interactions, but hey, we've got a great, imaginative fandom to support our fantasies, so... Fudomine. Poor, underrated, emo team... with the Lion Buddha and his six boys~
5. A character that you thought had an interesting 40.5 profile
Though I haven't read them all, most of them had interesting things... however, what I'm really curious is:
Times received Sanada's Iron Fist Punishment: Once
http://ann-applecore.livejournal.com/37064.html
Now I'd like to know what makes Sanada slap Yukimura... because for the other way around, I have some ideas... :3
6. Your favorite character that isn't a middle school tennis player
Well... don't really have one...I think I'll go with this one copying lexxiescott's answer, so Karupin. So cute, when she plays with Kaidou... or the other way arond...?
7. Your favorite pairing
Hm, now that's a hard one... my first was InuKai, and I still love it, it's so cutely perverted (on Inui's part anyway), but nonetheless fluffy... :3 But I tend to love every pairing that contains 1 of my fav characters, or if both (or more of them), the better... like EchizenXKaidou, or even TezukaXKaidou... YukimuraXanyone, but I prefer him with Sanada, they're just perfect... Troika is threesome, but I love it anyway... and add to the bunch the chibi devil, too, just for the fun!
8. Your least favorite pairing
Not least fav, more like I don't care about these... Silver Pair... just too obvious for me.
Shishido-san...
Choutaro...
Shishido-san!
Choutarou!
SHISIDO-SAN!
CHOUTAROO!!!
So you get the idea... I feel the same way for Golden Pair... And TezFuji... so mainly the basic, obvious pairings, that many like, but not me... (excluding Emerald and Alpha Pair... :3)
9. Your favorite tennis match or story arc
Of course it's the Finals Rikkai vs. Seigaku~ I like all the matches, except I don't care for the D1... though of course, with the outcome, I'm not satisfied, not at all...
10. Your favorite song from TeniMyu
Ugh, only one? Can't really choose, I love too many, though lyrics-wise I'd say Makezu girai, I really love the DL1 version with the double refrain in the end... it just calls for my soul~ of course there are so many great songs, that's I'd at least say 20-30 more, if I could...
11. A character you wouldn't mind dating
Erm...I don't like dating or going out, so... maybe Akaya, though I miss the more mature behaviour from him... Sanada would be nice, but no fun... Tachibana or Saeki are the more funny yet mature types, as I see them...
12. The team and/or character you can relate to the most
Usually I like those characters that are similar to me in some way, that's why I can also cosplay my favs genuinely. So...
Kaidou, because I respect and understand the "never give up" policy, I'm also like that when it comes to some things, like sports, cosplay. And how he really loves animals and respects them, not attacking them to hug and pet them, but cautiously moves closer and respects their privacy.
Akaya, because being bipolar... or more than that, is good and bad. XD It's good to be a kid to someone, who showers us with love, and then go and destroy freely in the world.
Yukimura, because I know he is self assured, and has the ego, but he won't go around stating it... that's for the others to do so... not unlike some ore-sama... and he has many sides, gentle, tricky, leader, broken, and evil, I don't care who states what, it's in my firm belief that Yukimura has an evil side (though it's Tenimyu, see the song Ten'i Muhou no Kiwami's Yukimura part, the end of it... when he sings Katsu koto, Ten'i Muhou no Kiwami, nanda~ it's like To the fuck with your technique, Bouya...), because noone, and I repeat, noone will accept smilingly a loss that ruins sweathy, teary, bloody months of work and practice. And I know that inside he was raging, wailing, being hysteric and his whole world crumbled, being beaten in the thing you are the best by a boy who won by enjoying tennis... how it could hurt when someone's throws that into your face, that tennis is only a game and you must enjoy it, while you take it as seriously as possible, takes a big chunk out of your life and everything is wrapped around it... what tennis is to Yukimura, it's the same for me with cosplay... and it is not always flowers and sunshine, but hard work, tears, sweat, injuries and pain, and if you achieve in the end, satisfaction, glory, win. And memories.
13. The team that should have beaten Seigaku
Rikkai. No comment.
14. The team you would join if you were a prepubescent Japanese male tennis player
Shiten and Rokkaku are the more fun loving, nice people teams, though, I don't understand how that lead Shiten to the finals... I'd choose maybe Fudomine, because even though I love Rikkai, constant pressure would kill me in the end, not to mention the bitchslap of doom... or I'd develop a demon side, too... And I really respect Tachibana-san, how he managed to make a successful team on his own.
15. Your favorite team coach
Tachibana... well, he IS their coach... and who is Rikkai's, btw? Yukimura? Or the Troika altogether?
16. Your favorite character song
Yukimura no Tennis. No comment~
But of course I love more then one, but if I had to choose one, that's it...
17. Your favorite outfit worn by Atobe or Mizuki
Favorite as in "favorite"...
Mizuki in that horrible purple, rose print thing... gah, I have to cosplay it, hate purple, especially in cosplay... but yes, I'm a mazochist...
Atobe, when the Seigaku team is in training camp, and Hyotei sits around Atobe's mansion haveing breakfast... Atobe... pink... frilly... shirt... my eyes...
18. Your favorite episode/part of the story that doesn't involve a tennis match
The chibi episodes, especially the cavemen one. It's just so cute~ But the Western and Winter holiday part is also nice. Rikkai Santas killed of by baby Kaidou~ :3
19. A match that should have happened, but didn't
Technically, it happend, they just didn't show it... Inui vs. Kaidou in the first ranking tournament. Thank god for the chinese live drama, they did justice to the 1 page long thing by making a great drama around the match, so I'm satisfied. :3
What I would see is... Yukimura vs. Atobe, Yukimura vs. Shiraishi, Kaidou vs. Akaya, or Kaidou-Piyo vs. Akaya-Zaizen... or some short of combination with them, just not put Piyo and Zaizen in one team, because they're too reserved... and Yukimura vs. Demon or Angel Akaya. Though, Akaya would still lose, but I'd like to see how Yukimura plays with him.
20. Your pick of seven players that you'd love to be on a team together
Yukimura, Shiraishi, Akaya, Niou-Yagyuu, Atobe-Sanada, reserve: Echizen... because he deserves it. XD Being only a reserve, I mean, and not being on the team... yeah, I have something against Echizen, like, he defeated Yukimura maybe...
21. The character that is most like you
I'd say Yukimura, but not sure... I don't like plants, I love animals... the little, fluffy ones... but as I stated before, Yukimura's dark side, I have, and understand~ And I'm more like a leader type, if there are ones that are willing to follow, but then I'll do them good...
I asked my bouya about this, and she said I was like Kaidou, tough on the outside, but all nice and shy and cute in the inside... fshuu~
22. A team and/or character you used to dislike but now like
First I really disliked Akaya... and Atobe, too, showoff... and Higa...
Then I got used to Akaya and Atobe, so now I respect their character... and even turned to Rikkai... phear the evil bees!
But thanks to Tenimyu, I like Higa, too... epsecially Kite. Luke really plays him well.
23. A character you'd love to have as your sibling
I'm a lone wolf, so I don't really need a sibling... though I'd accept Tachibana. He could cook for me... :3
24. Your favorite tennis move
I really like Kaidou's different Snakes. Rising shot is also a useful stuff, I had to learn this by experience.
25. Your favorite buchou and/or fukubuchou
Yukimura and Sanada.
Though, I really respect Tachibana, as said before. Atobe, too does a good work, with no fukubuchou behind him.
26. Your favorite doujinshi/fanfiction/other non-canon work.
BEWARE, I don't usually care about if it's rated M, NC-17, yaoi, yuri, crackpair, dark, rape, abuse, death, anything, I'll read, watch anything, because I'm curious like that... I don't have prejudices, not at all...
Doujinshi:
Midnight Diet and Hanaichimonme (Atobe&Sanada Exchange) oh the crack kills me~
Buchou Swap - because you have to love mixing the teams.
Sailor Gakuto - SM FTW
Basically most of the InuKai you can find over LJ - They're usually nice and fluffy...
HIroshi to Niotan - Rikkai cuteness

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4599662/1/Lets_figure_this_out (I dunno why I like this one, because it has a simple style, and not really a complicated story... and character death, which I usually don't read)
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5137812/1/A_Bitter_Song (Rikkai, rape, dark)

And especially http://www.squidge.org/~peja/cgi-bin/viewstory.php?sid=47544
and
http://www.squidge.org/~peja/cgi-bin/viewstory.php?sid=47619 from lexxie, because I'm who I am, and I proudly admit my twisted taste~
27. The plot of a dream novel you liked or would like if it existed
Er... *off to research what dream novel is* Oh, I see... well, even if it's old as time, and Mary Sueish, I always liked the idea to include oneself into the story - I'm just not creative enough to do it w/o becoming too Mary Sueish, though with my taste, it wouldn't be the classical I'm the best, most beautiful, etc, etc type. So I dunno... I don't really read these kind of novels, but I really like training camp, summer/winter vacation, camping stuff, so off school and maybe off tennis, multiple teams stuff and topics, so something along that line.
28. The doubles pair that has the most questionable sexuality
Define questionable... I don't care about gender, yaoi, yuri, anything is okay, I'm an open minded person, and I don't get this question...
What I was ever wondering about is, Shishido or Choutarou is the seme... and what about the Platinum pair... though my idea is, they change if they feel like it. XD
29. A character whose backstory you want to know more about
Rikkai... Fudomine... Hyotei... Higa...
30. A series that you think would make for a great crossover with TeniPuri
I have such an original answer for this, bow down infront of my creativity, ahn?
Harry Potter.
And though, I don't KNOW, if it'd make a great crossover, but I would like to see some vampire fandom - probably the Anne Rice type, not the Twilight one... or maybe sci-fi, Star Trek type...
I'll write it for 30 days, but will only post it in this one entry.
