Attention Ougi/Villetta fans...

Yeah, if there's anyone left here who doesn't hate the pairing.

Anyway, I've decided to volunteer to write a ship_manifesto  for the pairing, because I still love it, and enjoy ranting on about my favorite ships. I was only able to find two Code Geass manifestos, both of which I believe cover only season one, which is rather disappointing. But getting to the point, I've already written most of the actual content (though the nitpicky editor in me plans to revise it quite a bit) but when it comes to the recs section, for such a rare pairing, I figured it'd be best to ask the community for anything they've found. I've already got a couple fics, some art, and even a lovely Japanese fanart site, but I'm hoping there's something out there I've missed. Maybe over on ff.net, because I'm too afraid to weed through all the badfic there.

Also, I'm failing completely at thinking of a title that doesn't suck. If anyone can suggest one, I'd love that.

Thanks for hearing my plea.

Never heard about it, I'm sorry. I might ask if someone of my friend has watched it and give you their recs, if you want. Anyway, Italian is kind of difficult to learn just listening at it for an english speaker, unless you are very familiar with spanish. We have a quite annoying and complicate grammar ^^;

Me too^^
And, as a crack-shipper by default, I'm still surprised about the amount of canon couples I manage to fall in love with in this fandom.
I guess Karen -> Lelouch (and Nunnaly -> Suzaku, even if it has not been emphasize too much and that's good) are the only canon relationships I'd have gladly done without. I'm in love/OK with anything else XD

Meh, it's really only something I'd suggest to people who enjoy cute stuff, and who understand a decent amount of Japanese, as there's no subbed version. Definitely not targeted at a mainstream audience.

I actually speak some Spanish (as well as some Japanese) because I enjoy learning languages. I'm pretty decent at picking things up, as long as I practice.

I like both canon and crack, but even some of the crack pairings I like usually have logic behind them... except for those that just stemmed from jokes, that no one other than my brother would get.

Lol, not my thing I suppose, then XD But try hard with Italian if you are this good with languages! I'm costantly hoping that I'll passively learn japanese from anime overdoses, but it has never happened so far :/

sometimes, when I look back at the origin of some of the crack couples I crave for, the only answer I can give my self is 'dude, you drink too much' - but it regulary happens that I find nice reasons for such couples to work. I might write an essay on the reasons why it could work between Shirley and Asahina in a -what if? universe where they both survive the war, and I wonder if this is more insane than random coupling them 'just because' XDDDD

..and, coming back on topic, I'm gonna pass your request for good Ohgi/Villetta stuff on Animesuki Forum, and let you know if someone will come up with something new, kay? :3

I studied Japanese through books, because anime doesn't help a whole lot. It's good for practice, though.

And Asahina/Shirley? I'm definitely curious about that.

Thanks. I'd appreciate anything.
