Apparently OT3s are NOT the Solution to Shipping Wars...
Well, it's time for everyone's favorite -- shipping wank! Today we focus in on the FMA fandom again, where all is not well in the Royai (Roy Mustang/Riza Hawkeye) side of the fandom. Apparently Galuxkitty was marked as a traitor to Royai fandom by Amewarashi, HamsterFactor and Zauberer Sirin. Not for not writing Royai, but for daring to also be the mod of the Havocai (Jean Havoc/Riza Hawkeye) and Royaihavo (Roy/Riza/Jean -- OT3) communities. It's been brewing for a while now, but it culminated in a mysterious, now friendslocked post (saved by
zannechaos here, with this comic), bashing the Havocai pairing and Roy/Riza/Jean threesome (comic is in Spanish, but I think you can get the jist).
Some history:
-- In which HamsterFactor complains about the posting of threesome fic to the Royai comm.
-- In which Zauberer Sirin talks about OTPs. Includes this little gem: "also, not for even my best friend would I buy a doujin that goes against the RoyAi, not even for a dying friend whose last wish were a doujin, but i guess it depends on how much you like the pairing. my philosophy is: if you are not going to ship Rpyai as passionately as I do I´ll like you more if you ship anything else"
ETA: More links, originally posted to my JF:
-- Also, apparently Royai is full of bad writers.
-- Okay this is just getting posted for the 'Test of Royai Purity'.
There might be more coming as this develops. Especially if it hits the main FMA comms.
