But doesn't writing a justification for pairing mean you are prepared to defend your pairing to the very end?
I do agree, however, agree that yes, making pairings lovable is the fun part about supporting them. But that doesn't mean that you don't have to defend your pairing just because "it's not fun".
I never said anything about the justification being invalid just because I'm not convinced. What I meant was that if you're going to justify a pairing, you'd want to try and convince as many people as possible, and the way to go about doing that would be to defend your pairing whenever people point out things they think do not support your pairing.
And no, I wouldn't write a manifesto for Cloud/Seph. I don't feel the need to convince others why I like this pairing (or any other pairings, for that matter). But if you asked me why I support the pairing, I would simply say: Because I just do.
And no, I wouldn't want to write a Cloud/Yuffie manifesto either, simply because I'm not interested and I don't support the pairing like you and your friend apparently do.
In the end, what I hope you'll understand is that I never, ever meant to demean your favoured pairing. I never implied, overt or otherwise, that I'm better than you. Therefore, there is no 'how something should be written'.
Anyway, this will be the very last message I leave on this thread. It is obvious that we see things differently, and there is no point in continuing this discussion because we'd never agree.
