Something I just wanted to make a quick post about. If you hate Sontails, skip this post right over :P

Okay, here it is. I wish people would stop referring to Sontails as 'Sails'. Call it Sontails. Heck, call it Sonails if you have to ('though I think Sontails sounds much better). Just don't call it Sails, because that makes it SO hard to find stuff ;_; Putting 'Sails' in a search engine (eg, on DA, FF.net etc) is just gonna bring up pages and pages of... boats. Finding a Sonic/Tails work in the midst is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. EVEN if you put "Sonic, Tails, Sails". So please, for the sake of all that is good and right and fluffy, ban the term 'Sails' for Sonic/Tails! Use a term that ISN'T already a generic word for something mundane. Please!!

Thank you and goodnight.

McGee: Is "Tonic" also a no go, Kojirou?

XD I rather like the sound of it. But also a no-go. Not to mention implying Tails/Sonic rather than Sonic/Tails. A dominant Tails? XD Weeeelll...

Favre: There are 58 communities and 401 LJ users who list "Tonic" as an interest. None of the communites are Sonic related. ^o._.o^

Reminds me of Final Fantasy. XDDD!

ROFL.

Exactly, I thought Final Fantasy when I saw "Tonic" xD

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Sails is ok, I guess. I'll admit that term confused the major crap out of me when I first saw it.

But I prefere SonTails anyday. :) Simply Sontails. xD

Sails just makes it impossible to find anything XD

I have an icon that has 'Simply Sontails' as it's keywords :P

And that would be the icon that you're using. :P

I agree. Sontails is better. ^.^
You're bitchy? XD

Uh... apparantly? XD I just liked the mood-icon for that mood.

Yay Sontails! ^_^

Still. I love seeing that, a guy being bitchy... it's funny. XD XD

Hey, guys can't be bitchy? :P I guess I could've said 'snarky' instead, but it's not the same.

Date: 2006-10-27 03:33 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] psychicninja.livejournal.com
No, snarky just isn't the same. ^^
It's not that they can't be bitchy. It's just entertaining to see a guy go off on a rant and start bitchin' like that. Especially when the guys at school do it. XD

Well, I'm glad to amuse ^_^ Rants are fun XD

Sails? Talk about laziness. It's ambigious too! That could be Sally and Tails! Or Storm and Tails (....)

Date: 2006-10-27 03:48 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] flyboy-fox.livejournal.com
True, that o.o; ::Shudders::

Sally/Tails
Storm/Tails
Sonia/Tails
Sera/Tails
Sam Speed/Tails
Shadow/Tails

... the list goes on ^^;

Socks/Tails. :o

From: [identity profile] way-past-cool.livejournal.com
Yes! x.x no Sails! Thank goodness there are other names for the pairing otherwise no one would ever be able to find Sontails art and fiction. Just... boats. n.n; people have to realize that if they list stuff under "Sails" no one will ever find it.

At least we're sensible :P Down with Sails!! Sontails forever!! Raah!!

Well, Rocketship gets me... ships. :P Then again, we have Rocketshipping and Rocketshippy too. xD

The Japanese fandom has really petty KojiMusa VS. MusaKoji fights that make me laugh.
'BUT MUSASHI IS TEH DOMINANCE!'
'BUT KOJIRO IS MALE, THE MALE IS ALWAYS FIRST!'
'EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO THEY ARE SO IT DOESN'T MATTER!'
'Um, I want Sasaki Kojiro x Miyamoto Musashi yaoi. Where can I find some?'

Okay, so I exaggerated it a bit, but that's basically it. xD

From: [identity profile] flyboy-fox.livejournal.com
XD That's so silly. That's why I prefer 'Rocketshipping' over 'KojiMusa' or 'MusaKoji' or whatever, because it doesn't imply a dominant. Silly people. :P

From: [identity profile] twitchytwitch.livejournal.com
Well, to some people it does. Otherwise we won't have Queershipping. :P So no, I'm afraid Rocketshipping's got that problem too. xD
And THEN we get into R*cketshipping, Rocketshipping, AND Queershipping...

Nitch: And the anti-s! Mustn't forget the anti_shippers!

McGee: Sure we can. ::Waits a few minutes.:: See? Done!

Jamie: Ooh, and @ntishippers. Quite a few of them, as well.

McGee: Drat, I remembered. ^o.______.o^

Oh, JOY. xD;;;

Can't forget Friendshippers (romantic) and Friendshippers (platonic.) xD

I hate the term "Sails" too, as you said it makes it impossible to find anything not related to boats or something, it takes the p!$$ ¬_¬

Date: 2006-10-27 11:27 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] flyboy-fox.livejournal.com
Yeah, it really does ^^; It annoys the heck out of me.

Favre: How do I manage?

McGee: Not too poorly.

Yeah, I'm kinda lazy sometimes. But typing in "Sails" in a search engine, you start looking through and it and you're like "WTF? Boats?" XD

And ROFL@ the person who suggested Tonic, I bet that'll be hard to find too. XD

Yeah, just stick to good ol' SonTails or Sonails, you get better results then. ^^;;

Sonails makes me think of escargo ^^; Yum, snails. But at least it's not a real word, so it's okay. I know I get worked up over silly things *sweatdrop* I just wanna be able to find Sontails stuff, and when it's hiding amongst a million websites about sailing... ;_; That's just annoying. So I'm campaining for an official (re)naming! Or something.

At least Sonails doesn't really imply any other couple. :P

Although I agree, it does kinda look like Snails. XD
