The Armada, are you really dying?

a1y_puffRight, so... I know I probably am not one to talk, what with me being drown in another fandom for the last few months, but.
After reading![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chibikaoruchan's resignation from the fandom and the discussions that follow in the form of comments there, and also a convo in facebook involving me, isumi_ilde, demonessryu, lafuego and vierblith_tefu, and also demonessryu's post here, I couldn't help but think, is the fandom really that bad now?
Even when I haven't been contributing much for the Tezuka/Fuji fandom as of late, I'd still be pretty sad if the Armada is dying.
I don't wanna actually leave TeFu for good. I've been with them for more than two years now, even while being rather inactive the past few months and my love for them isn't as big as before, but still.
The Armada is where I met really awesome friends and sisters that I still hold dear until now. It's where I found the best betas I've ever had so far (*waves atthallein and lafuego*) that helped me improve a lot in grammar and vocabulary, in wordings, and in paying attention to characters and keep them IC.
It's where I found the best fanfic authors I can't ever find in any other fandoms I have been in up until now. It's where I found the most variety in writing styles to learn from. And it's even where I learned to be an anal, picky reader XD;;
Tezuka/Fuji, along with the armada made me the decent author that I am now.
I really don't want to let go, but seriously, we're running out of material to work with, to fangirl about, and just basically to keep us from drifting away since Konomi decides to ruin his own series with the rather unnecessary sequel. PoT was fine as it was, it ended nicely. But now, it's going downhill coz of the sequel. I seriously start to lose interest in the series. I don't remember PoT being as silly as SPoT, really.
My TeFu muse is dying and I think I could only work on that fic I left unfinished *cough*TSM anyone?*cough* and a few ideas I haven't had the chance to work on. But after that, I don't know.
I'm not gonna say thank you to TeFu and the armada and you lovely ladies I met in the fandom (hey, I miss our y!m convo and pr0n classes XD) and list your names one by one in honorable mentions, because. This. Is. NOT. Goodbye.
I'm trying to stay in the armada as of now. I'm still wishing for the revival of TeFu and the Armada.

Date: 2010-01-08 02:09 pm (UTC)Untuk lebih jelasnya, sekual PoT itu ngaco abis, dan anggota armada ini pada ilfeel dan satu persatu memutuskan meninggalkan fandom, makanya dibilang the armada is dying.

Date: 2010-01-08 02:33 pm (UTC)No, honestly, I think I know what you mean, especially seeing as posts with new material don't happen as frequently anymore and the entire SpoT thing going on ...as far as I can tell there's been quite a prominent shift in Japanese fandom to focus more on Shitenhouji and Rikkai pairings, but that's no reason for K. to ignore the quite active fandoms of "older" pairings... <.<
Speaking about fandom, doujinshi are currently what keeps me interested. And the one or other good fanfic that pops up (though those have gotten rare...). But then there's always the option of "learn new language to read fanfic in..."
Anyhow, I hope you'll stay along a little longer ^_~ ...and lets not talk about how whimsical plot bunnies can be...
no subject
Date: 2010-01-08 04:02 pm (UTC)As for fics, I now only read those made by friends, so I'm sure of the quality... I'm not too eager searching for fics from authors I don't know for fear it'd just turn me off further if it turned out too sappy and OOC ^^;
Maybe I should have someone do the hunting for me and tell me if there's any good new fics around, hawhaw...
Right, you can read Japanese and Chinese fics too, ne? Lucky you :D
As for plotbunnies... I really need a new stock XD;

Date: 2010-01-08 05:05 pm (UTC)With the amount of bad!fic out there it's about impossible to find something good (it doesn't help that I'm horribly nit-picky), but once in a while you stumble over something. (Though in the meantime I did stumble over things I thought impossible...). Erm, yes. IC fics are even more difficult to find...
That said, curiously I could never complain about a lack of plotbunnies. My problem lies rather with the fact, that most of my plot bunnies are of a nature that makes them too difficult to execute... <.<
... and well, we can still fangirl over ZukaFuji and complain about SPoT ^_~
no subject
Date: 2010-01-08 05:51 pm (UTC)If you happen to stumble upon a good fic, please do let me know, hawhaw..
I kinda understand. I have this plot bunny about them being some sort of super-robot, gundam-like pilots, but God, it'd be a pain to execute >.>
Am trying to regain my muse. I'm writing a TeFu fic right now! *le gasp* XD
I hope to finish and post it by your birthday (it was a real sudden plotbunny). I hope I haven't gotten rusty, heheh...

Date: 2010-01-08 04:06 pm (UTC)I don't want the Armada dying, really. I wish I could just write something too... *bangs head to keyboard*

Date: 2010-01-09 11:16 am (UTC)That said, I'm trying to write TeFu again, but I'm not really sure now, hawhaw... I guess I'll just post it when it's done and let people judge XD
And yes. Let us not read SPoT and keep claiming TeFu as CANON! 8D
Noo
Date: 2010-01-08 05:33 pm (UTC)*hugs Aiy for keep staying here. Lets keep the string always*
Re: Noo
Date: 2010-01-08 05:44 pm (UTC)Oh, and I still wouldn't mind helping you with your fics :D
We need to keep the fandom alive!
By the way, I'm writing a fic now. Will probably post it on Monday. I hope I haven't gotten rusty... Will you read it when it's posted? :D

Date: 2010-01-08 06:02 pm (UTC)Yeah, I've been inactive for quite a while. When was the last time I wrote a real TeFu non-drabble fic, I wonder... Having my PC dead at home surely didn't help xp
But! After posting this entry I got ashamed of myself. How could I be complaining when I'm not even active. Thus now, while I could snag my brother's laptop, I'm writing a TeFu fic in my attempt to regain my muse. Though I'm rather nervous if I can still write them properly XD;

Date: 2010-01-08 06:37 pm (UTC)says the person who's totally obsessed with KuroFai nowBut I don't believe there's any reason to abandon one fandom for another, rather than love them both. >.< And Tenipuri (especially TezuFuji) is my first fandom, I've been watching since 2002 and has a really deep place in my heart... maa... it makes me so sad when it dwindles.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-09 05:30 am (UTC)I still only support Tezuka/Fuji no matter wha happens in SPoT <3
'sokay, I also have been absorbed in Kanda/Allen, so XDDYeah, that's why I'm not leaving TeFu. I just need some poking. Rawr. maybe I need to poke myself, and therefore I decided to try my hands to write a TeFu fic again :D
Let us ignore SPoT!! It;s a Bad!AU!Canon XD *says
no subject
Date: 2010-01-11 01:28 pm (UTC)Even though I've become strongly obsessed with KuroFai, when I started a KuroFai fic, it didn't get very far o.O and all of a sudden these TezuFuji plot bunnies ran rampant and now I'm writing a fic for them :D so maybe it's like a habit XD you will have inspiration again!

Date: 2010-01-11 02:33 pm (UTC)And yay, TeFu bunnies! Any plan on continuing your multiparter fic? :D

Date: 2010-01-09 07:03 am (UTC)We need to contribute more to prevent this fandom from dying, hawhaw...
and yes, this fandom is my first experience to actually interact with talented peple all over the world~
I hope the TeFu fic I'm writing will be able to cheer you up a bit then? XD

Date: 2010-01-09 11:28 am (UTC)I was sad when Tina_chan went on hiatus, but I think she really needs time to breath and I respect that. I know that she'll be back...
Well for now, we'll try our best to liven up the fandom. Like the others, the biggest factor that made me create my LJ was Fuji and Tezuka and you guys inspire me to start writing. So please, don't leave us, ne Ai_chan? ^_~
hugs and kisses to you, always.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-09 12:33 pm (UTC)Actually, I'm trying to write TeFu again. Not sure how I'd do after the hiatus I've been in, but oh well XD
I'll probably post the fic on Monday :D

Oh btw I told Isu to give u d link to my TeFu, but in case she forgot, here: a1y-puff.livejournal.com/65845.html :D

Date: 2010-01-11 11:56 am (UTC)Lots of authors have not been writing for a long while. And ... it kinda makes me sad.. Knowing that the TeFu fandom I've written for, where I've met such wonderful authors and people and friends, where we've squeeled and fangirled and laughed and cried ... That it is slowly going away.
There are less good stories to find. (though I still have lots of plotbunnies... XD) And less people who still write them. (I was so glad to see your fic arrive! ^^ And don't worry, you haven't rusted one bit! ^^ *hugs* And I'm still looking forward to your next update of TSM... XD)
SPoT is indeed ... *shudders* ruining everything... And ... I'll be very honest, I don't want this to go away ... I've been here so long, with so many great people, and I'd hate losing it. I still love to write them. Still love to read about them. But it's getting harder to fangirl ... ^_^"
My love for TeFu is still as it was before. They still hold my heart, though I admit, they have to share it a little with other pairings... Doesn't mean I'll ever give up on them though ... ^^ I don't want to let this go. Don't want to lose all we had here, all the fun and friends and fanfics ... But I realize as well that it's not easy to hold on to something forever ... People move forward, come and go, move to other fandoms, sometimes return to older. But most never really let go of those they loved. (Look at me, I returned to Beyblade ... XD And started writing them again ... XD) It's just ... I'm afraid it will never return to the way it was before ... And even if join you wholeheartly in wishing for the revival, I fear for it ... *sobs* It can't stop me from wishing though, or keep me from writing ...
*Looks at what she has written above*
Oh my, I sound rather depressing and ... :’(
I guess I just want to shake people and bring them back to writing and fangirling, b-but … *sighs* Mesa sad … Still gonna keep on writing, and hoping other people won't abandone either ... ^^

Date: 2010-01-12 06:59 am (UTC)Yes, as long as some still participate, and write and show their love ... It never dies, does it? ^^
I'm still busy writing a TeFu. And I have another one in mind ... *grins* I guess as long as I have plotbunnies for them, I'll keep on writing them! *grins*
