Polls are now closed

All polls have been closed as of 10 PM EST. We will now take a couple of days to briefly check for obvious socks. We're trusting that you guys would not be so cruel as to put us through another hunt for puppets. *fingers crossed* Have your pimpin' hats ready because our Championship Round (Round 4) begins on Friday.

- We have, IIRC, one more Round 1 and Round 3 to go. We'll be playing catch-up with those two groups all next week. The final showdown should go up on Friday, September 18th, 2009. We will keep that poll up for a week and crown our first ever champion on Saturday, September 26th, 2009.

We now know that the following teams {Tyra voice} are still in the running to become {/Tyra voice} our first ever #1 and reign supreme above all (by virtue of winning their 3rd round match):


( Our motley crew  )

We'll be adding more 'ships as we finish up the rest of our early rounds. Thank you so much for your continued support!

It feels right, Brian, it feels right.

A Dangerous Affection: Sasuke/Karin (Naruto) [Part I]

[kanae-mizuhito.livejournal.com]

Title: A Dangerous Affection
Author: kanae_mizuhito
Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Uchiha Sasuke/Karin
Spoilers: Spoilers for the series as a whole, up to Chapter 459 of the Manga.
Credit: Sasuke's DB profile was translated by tora-chan and Karin's by Gottheim.
Notes: I figured that it was about time that this pairing got one of these. It’s constantly bashed without a good reason, and many people ignore the basis of the pairing and of why they work so well together. As well as the evidence that Kishimoto has given for them, as well.  

With this manifesto here, I tried to cover everything; from their development, to their personalities and why they fit, to Kishimoto’s writer intent; and I even added a section with a rebuttal to the most common arguments used against them, which are mostly nothing but misconceptions.

So if you are intrigued by the pairing, the fan’s reasons to ship them, what the hell I’m talking about, or even if you don’t really like them but have an open mind, then by all means please do read it. I did my best to convey everything these two are, in here.
