SASO Intro Post

This year, lots of people in SASO already know me. But I'm excited to meet new fans and make new friends, so I'm holding up my tradition of writing an intro post on my DW that folks can refer back to. Mostly, this is a cheat sheet on what I love in the fandoms I'm most into, and can be used to bait me into writing for you during bonus rounds!

Name: Lira
Age: Twenty-Seven
Pronouns: they/them or she/her
Location/Time Zone: Maryland, USA (GMT -5:00)

Other Social Media: [archiveofourown.org profile] lir [twitter.com profile] catlarks [tumblr.com profile] unelegantly

Sports Fandoms: (in rough order from most active to least) Daiya no Ace, Love Live, Hikaru no Go, Oofuri, Ping Pong: The Animation, Prince of Tennis, Eyeshield 21, Yowapeda, Chihayafuru, Princess Nine, Saki, Kuroko no Basuke, Haikyuu.

Ships I May Write: This is not necessarily a full and comprehensive list, but it should include everything that's a really easy sell.

---Daiya no Ace: Furuya/Miyuki, Miyuki/Pitchers, Tanba/Happiness
---Love Live: Eli/Umi, Nozomi/Maki, Nico/Maki, Maki/Hanayo
---Hikaru no Go: Akira/Hikaru, Akira/Ogata, Kishimoto/Mitani
---Oofuri: Abe/Mihashi, maybe Mihashi + Kanou, Abe + Haruna
---Ping Pong: Dragon/Yurie, Dragon + Smile, Peco + Demon
---Prince of Tennis: Fuji/Takashi, Tezuka/Ryoma
---Eyeshield 21: Agon/Hiruma
---Princess Nine: Ryo/Keiko (that's Izumi's mom) (I'm sorry)
---Saki: Hisa/Mihoko (Hisa / love live characters)

Characters I May Write: These are my favorite characters to write, the ones whose head I can get into really easily and who I can be tempted to write against a wider variety of other characters, sometimes flying in the face of my usual ship preferences. These are also good characters to bait me with for crossover pairings!

---Daiya no Ace: Miyuki, Furuya, Tanba, Kataoka, Ryousuke
---Love Live: Umi, Eli, Maki
---Hikaru no Go: Akira, Ogata
---Oofuri: Abe, Kanou
---Ping Pong: Dragon, Demon, Smile
---Prince of Tennis: Tezuka, Ryoma, Fuji
---Eyeshield 21: Hiruma, Agon
---Princess Nine: Kido, Keiko, Ryo, Yoko, Izumi
---Saki: Hisa
---Yowapeda: Kinjou, Imaizumi, Makishima

This year, daiya no ace is my most active fandom and the thing I can most easily be baited for, so I also wanted to take a bit of extra space to talk about that. While I definitely ship, my favorite character to write is Miyuki, and my default headcanon for him seems to be "on the aro spectrum somewhere, what's romance and how can he avoid it." This characterizes my overall priority in daiya fairly well — there are a lot of character pairs I'm interested in, but I'm often more interested in a general dynamic than a romantic one.

That said, please enjoy a horrific TL;DR of every pair of daiya characters I'd like to see interacting!! And also please accept a very polite listing of my daiya NOTPs, because I have a few ships I just really don't even want to talk about.

Daiya Ships: Furuya/Miyuki, Furuya/Miyuki/Eijun, Furuya/Eijun, Furuya/Eijun/Haruichi, Miyuki/Tanba, Miyuki/Nori, Miyuki/Kataoka, Miyuki/Rei, Kataoka/Rei, Miyuki & Chris, Miyuki/Ryousuke, Miyuki/Haruichi, Chris/Tanba, Chris/Zaizen, Tanba/Furuya, Tanba/Ryousuke, Tanba/Mei, Kuramochi/Ryousuke, Kuramochi/Wakana, Ryousuke & Haruichi, Eijun & Haruichi, Masatoshi/Mei, Shirakawa & Mei, Shirakawa & Kunitomo, Miyuki/Shirakawa, Miyuki/Shunshin Tetsuya/Jun, Tetsuya/Jun/Takako

Daiya NOTPs: chrisawa, kurasawa, kuramiyu, romo chrismiyu, romo miyumei

Feel free to use this information as you will. I got into daiya through the anime, and caught up when there were about 40 episodes in the first season. I don't read the manga. As a result, I have the greatest attachment to the early characters and haven't really gotten over the third years leaving their teams. I've just, accepted that this is my home.

Thank you for reading this! I hope it serves you well in personally attacking me during bonus rounds and luring me into writing you many fics.
