hidoko- h. 
Jara- J.

h:- how do you do, Jara.

J:- I am fine thank you. I want to thank you for taking asking me here. How are you?

h:- Milady, I'm fine too. Today we shall discuss the notion of..*ahem* laruku fanfics.^^

J:- *smiles* Oh I love laruku fanfics.

h:- Thanks for your opinion, buttttt...^^; it's not the only thing I wanna talk about... *ahem* but to start off, which ones do you like? ^^

J:- Are you asking which fics I like or which pairings?

h:- Whichever you choose to speak on.^^;

J:- Well to begin with I would like to say that my favorite laruku pairing is Tetsu and Hyde. My second favorite pairing is Yukihiro and Sakura.

h:- :DDDDD whyyyy? ^^ We all know that not everyone would have thought of yukki and sakura.. ohohohohohohohooooo...*cough* *ahem*

J:- I am not sure myself. I think that as a couple there they have a lot of possibilities. 

h:- *ahem* who introduced that possibility to you?

J:- Well a very talented writer. She wrote this fic about how Sakura sadisticly trampled over Yukihiro's feelings. Making the vulnerable Yuki fall in love with him and then throw his fragile love right back into his face. It was so sad. I really wanted to kick Sakura's ass after reading that fic.

h:- Uhhhhm.... ^^; She did it just by torturing yukki and making someone hate sakura? isnt that biasedness?

J:- I think so. Because she could have easily made Yukihiro the bad guy in the story. Made Sakura the vulnerable one, and Yukihiro the villain who wanted to gloat his new status over Sakura.

h:- Oooohhhhh...what do you think made her not do it? But then again, Sakura seems like the kind to kill yukki if he ever did bully S, doesnt he?

J:- Well it would depend on the writers feelings. I am not sure. Maybe she wanted to explore a dark side to Sakura. Discover or learn if would work, which she did. She also tried her hand at making Yukihiro a villain. That was a remarkle work in despair, lunacy with at touch of lucidity, and jealousy. I was astounded  by how realistic Yukihiro's journey into madness was written. It sent shivers down my spine, yet it made me feel sympathy for him.

h:- hmm, do you think it takes lunatics to write good stuff? I mean, healthy people claim that they wish that they are depressed and all. What's your views?

J:- "normal" is an abstract word.. Human beings are complicated people. What one man/woman would call "normal" another would call "strange, wierd, crazy" It is all a matter of perception.

h: (did I talk about 'normal'?) There's a certain set cast for "normal" already, like using right/left hands to write, or using the right/left brains to think. Most of us never even think about the way our PCs work, instead of how it SHOULD work. *poke* stick to the topic.

J:- :P ok. Then no. I dont think a person has to be crazy to write such dark things. I dont think a person is a sexual fiend if all he writes about is sex scenes or lemons. Writing is a healthy outlet for emotions, ideas, frustations. I myself have written a dark type fic and I dont consider myself crazy, but then again most lunatics don't think they are insane. ^__^

h:- hehehheee.... yeah, we all know that. ^_~ So what kind of writer do you consider yourself to be?

J:- Me, I think I'm a fluff writer. My stuff, what I do post( or finish for that matter). Is usually light. I'm strictly amateur. 

h:- Souuuka. so what do you consider professional in fanfic-dom, if there's such a thing?

J:- Well, to me it's writers who put writers who I think really put a lot of thought into their writing wether it be comedy or angst are professionals even though they don't get paid for it. People's who's work makes me feel along with the character, get lost within the story that when it ends I feel bereft and lost because I wanted it to last longer.

h:- Is there any such work which makes you feel so specifically? 

J:- Loreley's DEG fics always have that special touch of romance and desire to them.  Hidoko's fics are my sure getaway into madness and the darkness of the human soul. Vanilla Mint's Lemons always leave me yearning for a tall tall oold glass of lemonade to cool off my thirst. They are the top three of my favorite authors.

h:- *gives you a cookie* 

J:- cookies! *munch* any..*munch, munch* more?

h:- >:P no you glutton. What have you to say about the fanfiction scene right now for Laruku fanfic scene? And yeah, jrock...

J:- Well sadly, there are few fanfics out there about laruku. English ones that is. At the moment the Jrock trend is DEG and Pierrot fics, save for a few select writers who are laruku loyalists.  I want more Tetsuxhyde lovin'.

h:- How true. Would you agree that hidoko Matsumoto is a major loyalist in that scene and needs some DEG theraphy? I mean, she seems to be the only one who hasnt written anything flattering for the majority of the readers, who do seem to prefer reading DEG and such.

J:- No. I do not think she needs DEG therapy. You can not force a person to write about something that is not in her heart. For hidoko Matsumoto, her heart is filled with laruku. They are what make her complete and happy. Their music is what fills her soul. 

h:- lol, how do you know that it's the music and not their H? :p 

J:- i have no real way to answer that. It is more of a gut feeling. It is the way she writes them. The care she gives them.

h:- ^^;; I'm sure she'll feel flattered. Uhm.....I'm sleepy...so we'll switch places, ne?^^; interview meeee

J:- :p. Ok.. Lemme think?
