I don't mind those kind of pairings, I guess, but it depends on the pair. I like Harry Potter x Severus Snape (mainly for the depth the writers go into with the issues in the characters), but damn does Dawn x Cyrus make me cringe.
Dawn x Cyrus?! Dude, here I thought I was one of the few that disliked it. It's not as popular as most pairings, but there's enough of it out there. I'm sure a highly intelligent and sophisticated man like Cyrus would like Dawn... y'know, the bimbo. Unless he has fallen on hard times...
Ohgosh the contest! I need to get back to work on my fic. >__>
It's... actually not even got Dent in it. :o
I must say, I'm more surprised than disappointed. You did do CafeMocha for the fan art entry, however, which is win~ I like your entry, BTW. I can just imagine that! Ash is only allowed to over-eat Dento's culinary creations! X)
