A New Fanfiction-writer/Feminist/Fantheory-enthusiast

I also like alliteration. See how I got a bunch of L's in the previous sentence?

Hi! I go by Shiromi. I'm shy, but I love thought-provoking discussions. I saw a few happening here, and I'd been looking for a forum that I could indulge my discussion cravings in while fangirling over something I love. So, this place seemed like just the forum to join!

Information about me... hmmm...

I experienced a little bit of the Detective Conan show a few years ago, but it was out of order and kinda random, so I didn't pick up on it. A friend of mine had 25 volumes of the manga, and shared them with me. I liked it, but was wary because it looked like this was one of those never-ending series that over-stays its welcome. Also, I was pretty deep into Fullmetal Alchemist, and didn't have room for much else. Then, this summer, I read the entire manga. Then I watched most of the show (I skipped as much filler as I could). Then I watched the movies and OVAs and part of the live action adaptions - those were pretty terrible. I've seen amateur cosplayers pull off Gin better. Though whoever was Mouri Kogorou looked like he was having a blast, and he was the only entertaining thing in there. /enoughofthatrant

So, I found myself getting really into this fandom and reading up on fan theories, and now I'm hooked and writing my first fanfiction in this fandom. I mostly wrote Tolkien/Harry Potter fanfiction before this.

Fun facts:
A hobby of mine is making Conlangs.
I studied Japanese in college, and can speak a bit. It's getting rusty though.
I'm married, and have a genderqueer spouse, so you'll see me refer to them with gender-neutral pronouns. That's not me being mysterious, that's me being honest.
My dad introduced me to Feminist theories, and he's a big part of why I like to do feminist criticism.
My first fandom was Lord of the Rings.
About half of the languages I speak are dead.
My apartment has killed every plant I've tried to grow in it. :'(
I'm a non-religious agnostic-atheist, and I love studying folk-lore. I just don't like believing in it.
I cosplay. My specialty is sewing elaborate dresses and uniforms. One of my pet-peeves is artists who don't understand how gravity works. (yes that looks cool but boobs aren't actually filled with helium)

Erm... can't think of much else.

A Vermouth plushie - does that mean it could look like any character in the entire series?

Hmm... I suppose it could, provided she's disguised correctly. :)

...And barring children, since Kid is the only one who can disguise as them. ::)

Of course not the kids - after all, it's extremely difficult to subtract from the body rather than add. Which is why I'm sure her breast-binding technique must involve hammerspace, because I don't think it's possible to breathe the way she does it...

Welcome :)

Welcome to the Family! :D


People here are unique. They're wild, crazy, and out-of-this-world. But that makes them special.

Let me introduce you to some of them.

First and foremost, I'd like to inform you about certain members here who go by the names of phreak_91 and xpon: They are creepy - very, very creepy; so if you're a girl, stay the hell away, and if you're a boy stay the hell away. In short, STAY THE HELL AWAY.

Don't worry about that bush behind you. That's probably Conia, our Community Stalker -- if not, then it's Shadowman; who else?

Further on we have our Poll Maker (you will find a daily random poll made by him in the Off-Topic section), Community Saviour (loved by everyone, feared by some), Ninja Assassins, Mad Scientists, weirdly-named people, Rice Warriors (Beware! You might just get punched!), some awesome members, Grammar Romans (You better write well, otherwise she'll chop you, burn you, and erase you off this earth with the help of her pokemon), Hypeman (also known as Batman), Nightwing, Evil Princesses, and your (yes, YOUR) long lost child (who is actually everybody's child).

And many Many MANY MANY MORE.


On the Off-Topic Board, as I'm sure you'll find soon enough, weird, but awesome, organizations are commonplace. They don't require you to join, but you'll find it hard to resist taking a peek into who they are and what they do.

To make things easy for you, here's a list of the current groups inhabiting the OT:

If you are a cat, I assure you, you will love the DCTP Cat Family Thread. If you are an S or M, you'll love this place. You might also like this place.

If you are a sonoci fan, you might want to join this. If you are a fan of Kleene Onigiri, you might want to join this. There's also the DCTP Family Chart.

If you are Filipino (or can speak Filipino), you might want to visit this place. And if you are Spanish (or can speak Spanish), you might want to go here. And if you are German (or can speak German), you might want to go here. If you want to protect aliens (or strange creatures) just go here.

Next in line is the CCP, residing in the First Impressions Thread. I can't say much about them, but you'll find out by asking Conia or Callid, the founders of the pact.

Also, harems are normal, so don't get freaked out that much; however, it's okay to scream and yell for help if you ever get recruited.

There are also many threads where you can tell your happy, bad, awesome, weird, and creepy stories, and your Dreams. You can also talk about what's on your mind, what's NOT on your mind, and randomness.

Ever heard of the game Mafia? Come play with us. Let's kill...

...some time.

We also have the games of Diplomacy, Mini Mafia, Grawwfia, and Kogorous Riddle Thread and eworms Deduction Thread.



A lot of skirmishes happen between members, and you might get involved - but please do not try to even utter a single insult against Ai, if you don't want to be squashed, chopped, burned, tortured, pitch-forked or poked by the AiCon fans. Of course, the same applies to Kaitou KID.

So, again, I welcome you here, and please don't hesitate in praising Haibara. Many people do that, you'll pass undetected in front of the mods' eyes. Go off-topic (even in Off-Topic), annoy people -- just go and have fun.


I hope you enjoy your stay... and hopefully you, too, will find this family to be the best there is.

Wow, that's pretty thorough!

To recap:
No insulting AiCon or Kaitou KID
Beware the grammar-stalkers
Learn Spanish, German, or Filipino (Alas, I only speak English, French, Japanese, Quenya, and Sindarin. Working on adding Thalassian.)
Be glad I like cats

And I'm set!
