Looks like it's time to dewatch all the main DGM comms again. FML Stupid huge-fandom pairing that gets way more attention than anything I actually like.
For what it looks like it is going to be going on until New Year to celebrate Allen's birthday as well.
Why don't you organize an Alma day? He might not have a bday that I know of but you can either use the day he first showed up or see if the kanjis of any of the months and days in japanese look like his name (for example, at Sengoku Basara, Kojuurou's day was on May 16th because the pronounciation, with some stuff removed, sounded like his name).
It might make you feel better considering this, a day in which you get to fool around with girl!Alma, boy!Alma, akuma!Alma and all his potential pairings and scenarios. It might work.
I actually did sort of set up one in December (based off 193 days after Kanda's birthday = day of their fight ;w;) but it didn't really get off the ground (in part BECAUSE the Yullen spam for Allen's bday distracted everyone). Also, December. Kind of far away at this point.
I probably wouldn't be so annoyed if any of the other ship-fandoms did this, TBH. But because there's just the one, it sticks out.
And hopefully we'll be learning the birthdays of Alma and the Thirds in the new fanbook? :3
Nah, don't set it in December, set it now. Today is Kanda's birthday, the Lavanda (Lavi x Kanda) fans have also started with their works so you can do an Almanda day now. It's Kanda's b-day, everyone gets a piece of that pie (except Kanlina fans who are still very, very, very pissed off at the fact Kanda was shipped with girl!Alma and have grown silent and somehow resentful).
Seriously, do it, today is Kanda's day, nothing can forbid you to make something to celebrate it on a long period of time. Yullen Week has just started and it is on its FAQ week. it will take them a while to start, you can take the chance.
In my humble opinion, I'm more a Allen x Kanda, in that order, shipper because I'm against that idea of ukes cannot have fun and such but well, Yullen tops and they kick Arekanda's fans away.
But I don't have any prep work done~ *flail* and I'm setting up for an event in one of my other fandoms on the 18th, and I have the Big Bang to finish orz. Plus finals this week.
I can't ship just the two of them in any order. I just can't see them not strangling each other without someone to play the middle.
While I'm not a DGM fan, I can relate to the majority of a fandom going crazy with the shipping. I watched the Avatar: The Last Airbender shipping wars, after all.
To be honest, when I do ship, it's usually canon pairings because I'm lazy. It's not that I don't like shipping, it's just such a volatile subject that I tend to avoid it. I've got better things to do than get in an arguement about shipping.
I tned to ship canon-esque ships that are extremely sidelined by the rest of the fandom, and I generally avoid shipwars. But this pairing is the most popular one and I don't like it, so.
(To give you an idea, a straight third of doujin at a convention my friend went to was of this pairing. Finding a member of the fandom who doesn't ship it is rare enough to comment on.)
Is there a DGM digest comm? That might be easier to follow (I follow one for Final Fantasy and one for FMA and they make it a lot easier to look for posts I'm actually interested in).
I'm putting up the final deadline reminder post tonight, hopefully! I've been absent from it for the same reasons I've been absent from LJ in general, but my finals are this week, so I should hopefully have a more open scheduale for fandom things.

Then again, if I see a trace of wimpy!uke anywhere, I'll just hide until the whole thing blows over.
