Acceptable Hagane fanfic idea?
 
I'm working on a HaganeShipping fanfic. (Riley and Roark, for those who do not know.)

Would a HaganeShipping fanfic be acceptable if it were kept to a certain level? I'm not planning on turning it into a hentai fic (goes against my morals), but how far could I go with it without getting into serious trouble?

I wanted it to go along the lines of Byron leaves Roark to watch the house on Iron Island while he goes to the gym. Riley comes along, and the two walk around Iron Island chatting about everyday things, then they sort of realize feelings for one another. I'm kind of scared to go even past that...since there are IronShippers out there, and I know the rules are that there is no flaming allowed, but it's a bit worrisome. HaganeShipping just isn't as popular...

Just as long as the two characters don't hop into bed with one another and you describe every body part and where it goes, then you are fine. And since you plan to not include that, then it's all right.

As for Ironshippers... Well, if anyone flames you, just let me know, and they'll be beaten up. ;D

To add about the worry that someone's going to flame you, yeah, with shipping fics, you'll always run at a risk of not being able to please everyone because Pokémon tends to have a Rule 34-like effect when it comes to ships. That is, if you can think it, someone has probably already shipped it. So, you'll end up having someone who doesn't particularly like your ship, but so long as you're civil and at least make it clear from the get-go that it's X character with Y character (unless it's your intention to shock us), the person who would be at fault for whatever flames you get would be the person flaming in the first place. Long story short, just write it and don't worry about who doesn't like the pairing. If someone doesn't like it and you made it clear at the beginning, it's their fault for reading the thing and then for getting banned if they're stupid enough to blatantly break the rules.

The rest of us are usually more mature than that, so I wouldn't worry.

Alright, thanks. ^^ That makes me feel relieved.

My Cresselia x Darkrai fanfic has a lot of praise from people on here and deviantart, but that's because it's a popular pairing. ^^; So I was a bit freaked since I realized that IronShipping is way more popular than the pairing between Byron's son instead.
