That Mushishi, Rurouni Kenshin, and Blassreiter had some kind of real fandom.  Like I've read/been a part of some real deep character discussions concerning FMA characters as well as InuYasha characters (and I know Bleach, Naruto and Soul Eater have a fandom that does this).  Mushishi, despite ahving only 2 reocurring characters, I think could do it.  The one time only characters are full of discusability (is that a word? did I just make a new word? XD)

RK.  OMG.  Kenshin's dichotomy alone is enough to fuel many message boards many times over.  Sano's too.  You have this orphan slave boy who is rescued from certain death and raised by his savior to be quite possibly Japan's most deadly assassin.  You watch as he slowly begins to spin out of control and then is reigned in again by a woman whose fiance he personally murdered.  But when you see Kenshin in the series and not the OVA...  The rurouni that wanders into Kamiya Kaoru's life is NOT the deadly Battousai.  Exploring how he got from point a to point b would be so rich and rewarding.  Maybe I just don't know where to look...  And Blassreiter, I don't even know how many people even know this anime exists.  I think I like ti so much because it's like a mecha version of Blood+ (which is another shortchanged fandom!)

Anyone involved in any of these and if so where are the wonderful groups??

It's in Japanese so it might take me a while, lol. But I did watch some of the anime and I enjoyed it.

PS: Saw a link to your FMA fic contest entry via fullmetal_info. The Scar/Rose one. I figured I wouldn't be able to comment there if I wasn't a member so I wanted to tell you here that I really liked it! I never thought about that pairing before, but the minute I saw your fic, they totally clicked into place.

I thought you were a member! Why ain't ya??? And Scar/Rose is a secret love of mine, but if everyone else seems to like it, maybe it shouldn't be a secret! (Did you know COS canon is Rose/Alex Armstrong? omg no!)

Nope, not a member. I was in the past, but I know it's not something I would participate in regularly, if at all. I do peek in every now and then though, and I'm glad I do or else I would have missed awesomeness like your fic!

you don't have to enter fics every week, I certainly don't. But you can read and vote! You should join again!
