So quick explanation of the poll question: I'm writing a new story and it takes place in Japan. As I am not Japanese, I'm really not familiar with the customs and whatnot. I have a general understanding of the way it works, but unless I do some serious research it's not enough to really allow me to write a well developed story. So my question is: should I set it in Japan and just use American customs since they involve less explanation and I'm more familiar with them, or should I do the research, explain the differences, and risk the story being a little skewed? Your opinions are greatly appreciated and mean a lot to me, so please let me know what you think.

13 ways to royally piss Hiei off (Courtesy of Senko789)

1. When he's using his fire power... yell 'FIRE' and throw a bucket of water on him

2. When he's using his third eye... point at it and say 'EWWWW your zit is looking at me!'

3. Whenever going to a restaraunt... refer to Hiei as a child and insist he get some crayons

4. If Hiei ever stands in front of you... always compare his height to yours by using your hand

5. Always ask Hiei (when he's in the area) who does his hair and then ask 'does he like to use a lot of gel?'

6. If Hiei is to walk by ask him... Do you like light sockets or something?'

7. Whenever Hiei takes out his katana... take it away and say 'Weapons aren't for children'

8. Whenever Hiei is trying to read your mind... think of the Barney song "I love you Hiei and ect." The Barbie song is a good one too Example: Hiei's a barbie girl in a barbie world

9. Randomly scream 'demon' and when he looks say 'madeyalook'

10. When you first meet Hiei... claim that you can't pronounce his name. Then make up a nickname for him like Shorty, Shrimp, Short stuff, or Mr. Strawberry Shortcake

11. When Hiei is asleep in his tree... cut down the tree and yell 'TIMBER'

12. Randomly scream 'demon' and then point at him

13. Randomly grab Hiei then say 'Now give me your pot of gold!'

WARNING: Do not attempt the above unless you are a VERY fast runner, can hide behind someone who is very strong (i.e. Kurama, Yusuke, ect.), or you have a death wish.

Reasons I support ZukoxOC

1. Mai scares me

2. Fights between Zutara fans and Kataang fans are scary. I opt to stay out of them.

3. Zutara fans are scary when they rant

4. I hate Mai

5. I don’t like TophxZuko. Mostly because of the age difference

6. Fights between Maiko fans and Zutara fans are scary

7. Mai is annoying

8. OCs tend to be funnier

9. Personally I think it’d stink to go through the series and have Aang not get the girl. What does that say about life? Go ahead and save the world, you’ll still be undateable?

10. Mai gets on my nerves
