"just sometimes I read things people say and they come across as thinking that..."

"...rikkai fangirls are this huge terrifying group who go around lynching people in dark alleys."

For the record, hyouteiexchange has 37 signups, that's more than either round of rikkai_exchange and likely higher than switching_it_up.

I'd love a Higa Exchange, but I don't think there will be enough participants.

*raises hand* If I lynch people alone, can I still be a Rikkai fangirl?

Don't get caught and don't let your actions be traced. XDDD

*lurks in dark alley*

people are just jealous because there is so much rikkai love :| Or something like that.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

If people want their pairings/schools loved, they should go and drum up the support through events/fanfic/fanart/sharing stuff. To not like a school or even hate a pairing because "it's getting too much love" is really, really lame.

I used to not like stuff that are popular, but that was when I was 12.

That's unaccurate. Sometimes they don't lynch in dark alleys.

Also forgot to say that there are cases of cannibalism, that's why the population is down.

I find Hyotei's fanbase number balanced... for a 200 members team.

Hyoutei fans have quieted down for the last two years. I wonder what happened to them all.

[solaas.livejournal.com]

Hah! I do not fear the Rikkai fangirls, my pun-y powers protect me! 8D

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Yes, genious. :P

[reddwarfer.livejournal.com]

But not as many as their_white_day...

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

It might be the biggest pairing exchange ever!

[xiu]

I dunno, I tend to find the Hyoutei fangirls to be far more frightening :3

And then there's people like me who *gasp* like multiple teams. And to be quite honest, I like Fudoumine more than Rikkai. There's just no real active fandom for them ;o;

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

XD I remember how it used to be, yeah...

XD

[impressioniste.livejournal.com]

I only lynch people in broad daylight.

Fuck alleys.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

That's the way to go!

I know that this is not the answer you were looking for, but Hyoutei Pride, woo hoo! ;)

Thing is, switching_it_up is a pairing exchange, which is difficult to compare to a 'school' exchange, unless it's Tezuka/Fuji, the fandom giant. I always thought Rikkai was a more popular school than Hyoutei, though, so I am quite surprised by that. How many signups does rikkai_exchange usually get?

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

:D I actually think it's a good thing, so. :P Tired of people saying Rikkai is stealing fans and all that. O_o People love what they want and write what they love, and I can't be made to feel responsible if someone else's favourite school aren't getting enough love or if that school's fans aren't vocal or arranging the exchanges/fests!

Both rounds of Rikkai Exchange got 20-something signups, I think.

[potter.livejournal.com]

Man, do people say that? o_O That's a bit...out there. I agree with you, basically -- people should invest in what they love, not in what they dislike. I actually think a Higa exchange might generate more interest than you think; somebody did a St. Rudolph exchange that worked okay, I think!

Ah, I see. I am surprised -- my flist is very Rikkai-happy, so I guess I've always seen Rikkai as pretty damn popular!

I also agree with what sharpie said -- plenty of people still like more than one team, which is cool! I'm really fond of Seigaku as well as Hyoutei. ♥
