Wow, this was really really good. I've been wanting to see something like this for a long time now. There are way too many 121 fics out there. Seriously. Barely anyone is truely creative anymore. Practically all the 121 fics are the same. Thank God you posted this!

Hats off for you. You know your shit. Bravo.

...I have come to the conclusion that Relena is a lesbian, and therefore have artfully removed her (along with any other female characters in the way at the moment) from the mix. But, no. That's unacceptable! I mean, sure... 15 year old boys can screw each other like horny rabbits, but God forbid a girl kiss another girl! I think this has something to do with the fact that a good number of GWing yaoi/shounen ai authoress (all male yaoi writers are cool with me!) are, well, 12, 13, 14 years old! What do they know about second base, let alone the bedroom science of a homosexual relationship! ...thanks for the chance to rant... Oh, and that was NOT an attack on young yaoi writers. I was one myself, and now that I look back... *shudders* ...four fingers would probably hurt like HELL!

'Much ranting, screaming, and otherwise looking down his nose at the unworthy twits who share the status of Gundam Pilot with him.'

*falls over laughing* The whole thing was great of course, but that's the part that really stuck out in my mind. If I go and read the drafts of some of my own 1x2x1 fics I'll probably find myself guilty of some of what's down here, lol. *blush* Ah well. That's what editing is for. Anyways, very humourous, very sarcastic hehehe, and very clever. Good work!

*in a cheesey voice* Oh, thank you wise and wonderful fanfiction author for showing me the light of 1x2 fanfiction! I shall go write one now! *gags* LMAO! Great guide...very educational (on what NOT to do). Hehehe. Your use of sarcasm is great, and I loved the Silently Suffering Suicidal Duo with Major Self Esteem Issues. Ha, it's quite the tongue-twister when you try to read it out loud! _

this is great! funny, and a good guide, got about 3/4 done but i am NOT going to miss the bus today

Bwa-hahahahaha

True. So very, very true!

Ummm...were you being sarcastic and saying all 1x2 fics are cliched?

HA! Oh how I loved that. Now I know how to really write a Good 1x2! very good observations... those "examples" tho, they've got to be made up. Just have to. Oh and good idea with those keywords- I loved Relena's especially. Okay, I'm still laughing about it- yeah, I think you did good. :) Keep writing!

Okay, I have to admit when I first looked at this I thought here we go again with someones "This is how it should be." directive. But you know cats, curiosity will kill them everytime, so I took the time to read it just because.

Well curiosity definately killed this cat. I died laughing at most of it. I especially loved the uses of Wufei in a story according to pairing. The man is just so versatile isn't he? Probably part of what made it so hilarious is the fact that most of it is so true.

Thank you for a wonderful laugh at what can often be a hot topic. ~LOL~

Oh my God...I haven't laughed this much at a fanfiction since Kaze-chan stopped writing and disappeared somewhere. Thank you for the refreshing change of pace from all the...angst...around here.

Ciao!

luv,
