MLaaTR, "Future Shock/Humiliation 101" Now what do I do?

I have always been a huge “shipper” that is to say, fan of the idea of relation ships between fiction character. Mostly yaoi and some Harry Potter characters. A few heterosexual couples too. Now, I was always a huge fan of “My Life as a Teenage Robot” and especially on any tension I spotted between the robot girl, Jenny and Brad the human teenager. I once read an entire fanfiction in one sitting to appease my love for this couple. Now that the episode I watched show s that…

Wait, no, I don’t want people getting spoilers from a mouse-over.

To be continued…

That should have been " I once read an entire 23365 word fanfiction called “Reality Bytes” in one sitting to appease my love for this couple.

Anyway, in a recent episode I found out that Brad and Jenny:

have dated so much that they see each other as the surefire date for social events. No need to ask, just assume.

Now what am I suppose to do?

Oh, yeah, almost forgot. Here is a link to a writer of the show…

Wow, weird acronyms, fanfic and a question that I’m not even sure is a question.

This thread can’t die, the unintentional comedy factor is too great.

We’re talking “Pantheon of Faces” territory here.

Dude, you’re doing it all wrong. Obvious pairings like Jenny and Brad are fodder for bored housewives and the mentally ill. Might as well have Captain Kirk dating girls in your work. Too ordinary. Pairing her off with a less obvious choice, like Sheldon, is better, but still a simple task best left to rank beginners.

For you to win your chops as a shipper, you must right now, without thinking, bang out a 3000-word piece pairing Brad and Sheldon. This is completely out of nowhere and gains you the gay points (+200) you need to build your reputation. Jenny, if she’s mentioned at all, must run with either Tuck (small child, +500) or her mom, Dr. Wakeman (close relative, +1600). I know that Dr. Wakeman is tempting, but since your testing the waters as it were, I’d stay close to shore and go with Tuck. Do NOT use the Hive for pairing purposes. Good guy/bad guy is boring outside of the more whacked-out Japanese cartoons. It’s okay if the Hive is planning on killing a romantic interest and the protagonist must work to stop them, but you’ll lose points if the Hive doesn’t succeed (-100 to 300, but that’s only a guesstimate, I don’t have my Shipper’s Manual handy.)

Most Nicktoons can be bent to your purpose, except Rocket Power, which is too boring to think about. If you need practice, work with the new Avatar: the Last Airbender show. It’s pseudo-Japanese and that’s always a help. If you insist on sticking with hetero tales, let me know and I’ll lay some Chalk Zone skinny on you.

Warning: This thread is about a heterosexual relationship in an episode of the show “My Life as a Teenage Robot”, however, as both I and don Jamie like fiction about homosexual fictional pairings, they will be discussed here. That is if people feel like it. I’m not bending anyone’s arm or anything. Anyway, you have been warned.

Thanks for the great responce, but, um, as per the original post, I mostly read yaoi, that is to say homosexual pairing, such as Matt and Tai (they can’t keep their hands off each other! They are always fighting!) Heero and Duo (I think that Relena is the most anoying creature on the face of the planet), and HP yaoi, (Draco looks so good in a skirt.) and even some cannon yaoi, such as in the Manga series “Fake”

Now, I know these are obvious pairings, but I like them anyway. By the way, as long as you are here, do you want to show me links to your prefered fanfic sites in the series you like? A few off the top of my head are

Oh, and I can’t find my favorite link to pictures of Draco crossdressing, but believe me, I will.

Or if any “My Life as a Teenage Robot” (which is too long to fit in the thread’s title) happen to be here, feel free to comment.

It’s a joke, son. I keep pitchin’ ‘em, and you keep missin’ 'em. You gotta keep your eye on the ball. Eye. Ball. I made a funny.

Okay, you wanted advice. Here goes.

  1. As per your story, you can either revise it or amend a little note saying this was written before such-and-such an episode and is a relic of its time. That’s the best I can tell you.

  2. Drop the cash and get a subscription to this message board. May be the best dough you spend online.

  3. When you have the membership, lurk and get a better feel for the board. That way you’ll know to have a more organized original post, and that it’s better to tag the post as “Teenage Robot” instead of an abbreviation that could be anybody’s guess.

  4. Nobody wants to see a drawing of a Harry Potter character crossdressing. Trust me on this.

  5. Poke around that first link of yours a little more. Methinks you haven’t found something yet. Try “hosted sites” or whatever it’s called.

No, offense, I just didn’t get it. I guess because I am no good at baseball.
Well, except for number 4. And the “son” part. But still…

Nobody! Come on! Everybody loves a lithe little morally ambiguous wizard dressed in the clothes of the opposite sex.

Well, at least once you read a great fic describing it. Which I can’t find to show. :smack:
