...Sigh... I wonder about myself sometimes.

Title: Snazzy Dresser
Words: 174
Pairing: ZoSan
Rating: HS for Zoro's hot shirt, XD
Topic: Shirt
 

 

“You can’t be serious.”

Sanji looked slightly wounded. “What, shithead?”

Zoro looked down at the two polos and the dress shirt Sanji had chosen for him. “I’m not wearing those.”

The cook scowled. “After I go to all the trouble to find shirts for your ungrateful mossy ass, you refuse to take them?”

“Damn straight.”

“But these will look good on you!”

“Yeah right.”

Sanji’s scowl deepened. “Who’s the sharper dresser here?”

Well, Zoro couldn’t exactly deny that Sanji knew more about fashion than he did, but… “That doesn’t mean I’m wearing these dumb prissy clothes.”

“Shitty marimo! What do YOU think you should wear, then?” he demanded.

Zoro snorted, then disappeared into his locker. He reemerged with a black t-shirt the Galley-La people had given him, which he pulled on over his bare shoulders.

“Well, how do I look?”

Sanji was staring; he quickly looked away and scowled again, a faint blush on his cheeks.

“Like an idiot marimo with no fashion sense.”

Zoro grinned in satisfaction and strutted out of the cabin.

Oh my, my dear! I am afraid you have done yourself a disservice because you wrote a real gem here! Not only will there have to be another entry but one I like BETTER and damn this was pretty damn good! You got them in character perfectly and that delicious snark...and Zoro being all smug, knowing he's hot. Yeah. I like this alot!

I knew you could write yaoi!! LOL! (better be thinking of fluffy pg topic potential, just in case).

Thanks. XD
Awww, great... XP

I can probably write anything I force myself to... Oh wow, that wasn't pompous at all. Uhh... anyway, I'm still a het person. Just throwing that out there. But I couldn't resist Zoro being all, "This is why I'm hot." XP (...-_-')

I liked the fic. It was very cute and IC, and I agree that Zoro looks hot as hell in his Galley-La shirt, and the whole premise was pulled off well.

...That said, your author's notes before the fic turned me off pretty hard, and I nearly didn't read this. I want to be clear that I'm an avid fan of gen, slash, and het pairings in all of my fandoms, One Piece included, so I don't want you to think I'm a slash fanbrat with a grudge or anything, but this is a community for slash, and to me your notes came across as condescending and heavily looking down on slash in general. I understand that you probably didn't mean it that way, but...

Okay, imagine, hypothetically, that I'm someone who's vocal about being an exclusive slash fan and writer, vocal about not liking het or het pairings, and then I post a SaNa fic to an exclusively het One Piece community with the following preceding it:

Don't get too excited, _____. When I saw the prompt, I thought of Sanji being a sharp dresser, and somehow that train brought me to Nami's love of shopping, and then... this happened.
The one line that makes this het pains me slightly... XP
NOW FOR THE LOVE OF ALL BLUE, SOMEONE ELSE WRITE SOMETHING!!! I don't wanna win by default (or at all, since I technically shouldn't even be ON this comm in the first place...)
Now excuse me as I go drown myself in ZoSan... XP

Do you see what I mean, at all? Not liking to read or write slash isn't a view that I have any issue with, but writing something and then posting it to a community that's dedicated to the genre and that's filled with people, myself included, who enjoy it and find it worthwhile, with a fic that you make clear pained you to write and going out of your way to spell out that LOL, no, you still dislike icky slash and will be running back to your het immediately, kthx bai One Piece yaoi fandom, is...not entirely polite or diplomatic of you, I'll put it that way.

I hope this doesn't read as a flame, because it's really not, and I apologize if it comes across that way. It's just a...heads-up, I guess. I enjoyed the fic.

Thank you for the compliment.

I completely understand what you mean about my author's notes, and I'm very sorry that it came across as that way. I'm kind of going through some stuff... uh, personally? So... I'm kind of weird and vocal, and yet I go and do stuff like this. It's not that I think anything against people who like yaoi, I just... don't want people to get the wrong idea about me? Except I don't even know what that is...

Hmm...

I'm gonna delete the AN for now.
Thank you for the suggestion. ^^

[dandywonderous.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I'm very sorry if you were offended! That wasn't my intention at all! I'm just... kind of stupid.
Okay, really stupid.
I'm very sorry!

You're welcome!

Ah, I hope you get through your personal stuff alright—it sounds a mite confusing, and I understand wanting to—be clear about yourself, I suppose? I did realize that you likely didn't mean anything against yaoi-fans; just need to be a little more conscious of your wording and the audience that you're speaking to. ^_~

Don't worry about it over-much, sweetie—you're not stupid, it was just a bit of thoughtlessness, and you handled the crit very gracefully, which is admirable. :)

Good luck in the future!
