I like the good PWP every now and then, but I don't want to read them all the time. I love fics that are intricit (~_~ English major and still can't spell) and do have depth. But as for over all, I think that less is better in this case. Sex should not be the main point of a fic (most of the time) but more like a nice treat in the center ^o^ Kinda like a hostess donut.
As for no humor in Weiss: I think the anime lends itself to humor. You do see some throughout the anime and (from the little I can gleen from my manga) some from the manga as well. I prefer writing angst to humor, but I think if done correctly, any story that has a trace of humor in it can be funny. Also, there's only so much angst and in depth characterization that you can do before you go crazy. It's also nice to give the characters a break ^_^;
XD;; Do I flaunt my friendships that much? Actually, Portia got me to read about 3 chapters of Painted Ocean and then I bailed ^_^;; I only read those three because I had the inside track on them. For some reason, no matter how hard I try, I can't read RanKen. My mind literally balks at it and I can get maybe one paragraph in before I can't read anymore ^_^;; (And as for you liking Ken on top, in my mind, Ken is all seme. There's no way this guy is playing bottom to anyone. I think it has to do with the fact that he plays soccer ^_^; )
A lot of people see Ken and Omi more as brothers *shrugs* Maybe it's because of my own relationship with my family and seeing some brothers interact that I don't believe they have that kind of relationship. O_o The guys I knew fist-fought constantly. They weren't very nice to me either XD;;
As for characterizations, I think Generic Miko has some of the best characterizations I have ever seen *dies* I *heart* her Ken. Her Aya is how I picture him (a cold-hearted bastard) and Youji and Omi are great. I don't like seeing my favorite characters bashed, but I also don't like seeing characters needlessly OOC or just horrible just for the hell of it. Course, characterization is gonna be different for everyone. I'm one of the only people (I think) that doesn't like Aya *shrugs*
