asinterIs it just me, or do the Wentzdom bands tend to crossover a lot more fic-wise than say, the bands under SME or JE do?
I mean, this might be a case here of me just not being deep enough into Asian bandom, but. From what I've seen so far you just don't seem to get those epic pan-band fics in SME-dom or JE-dom that you might with those under the FBR label. Which, I don't know how close most of the bands under Johnny's Entertainment are, but it's canon that there are ties between DBSK and SuJu, and DBSK and TRAX, and I think SuJu and Epik High too? And yet!
Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. Then again, from what I've seen so far, the idea a lot of the fic authors have about their fic plots - at least for K-pop bandom fic - lean towards mirroring K-dramas in terms of, well. drama and plot points. (which well. I don't watch K-dramas because I can't get over how ridiculous they can be. They're pretty much Asian soap operas!)
It would probably also help if there were primer posts for a lot of these Asian bands, too. Or primers with more info than, like, D.O.B./height/likes/dislikes. I know at least for me, primers were a huge help in introducing me to all the bands in Wentzdom, plus all the ties between the different bands and stuff. I'm not sure something like that actually exists for the bands under SME.
...Okay, I admit. More than anything, I actually just want Kangta/Vanness street racing AU fic. Alas, their fandom is GOSHDARN TINY. :( Or at least the English-speaking side of it is; I have no idea what the Chinese&Korean-speaking side of the Kangta & Vanness fandom is like. So I'd probably have to write it myself or something, except I know almost nothing about Kangta. And the extent of my knowledge of Vanness is that he was in F4 and that he seems to be panning out into singing in Japanese as well as Korean and Chinese and English (seriously, that man is kind of really amazing), and also that he'll jokingly say things like Kangta is his boyfriend in interviews and stuff. o Vanness.
sigh... and my wireless connection is still being an ass.
