Pot slash Kettle, anyone?

I have much love for the fic'ers out there, but this simultaneously bugs and amuses: slash writers that go on record denouncing certain couplings as non-canon when they themselves aren't going by the books. Por ejemplo - if you feel you're making the world a better place by increasing the Roy/Havoc fic out there, how can you say Roy/Al is non-canon? It's ALL non-canon! Who cares! omgwftbbqxxl! ::collapses into a puddle of giggles::

If I'm needed I can be found in the corner with the other five-year-olds.

*grin* You're just as gone as I am, aren't you? More, actually, since I'm simply following you down the path (ahhh "Memory of the Future", how I adore you). I love it.

If we want to play SlashDevil's Advocate, the only pairing that has a *marginal* chance of surviving in FMA is Roy/Al, just because those two are always down each other's throats. Aggravation = simmering sexual tension? That I can give you. The rest? Meh. :)

I love "Memory of the Future"! I am resisting downloading ahead because the comments are so much fun!

What are they up to? I think the poster said she has up to 4a scanlated. If there's more out there I don't think I'll be able to refrain from hunting it down. The translation is pretty good, IMO. It's one of the few works I've come across where I find myself impressed by the subtlety of the artwork AND the writing.
