Okay, I believe that this'll be our first poll and I'm intregued to see how it'll turn out. ;D Anyway first an explanation of sorts. Unusual pairing being those used less often/not at all like Takeru/Miyako or Mimi/Daisuke. Nearly always these pairings are unusual for obvious reasons like not being at all hinted at. Usual pairing are seen all the time: Taichi/Yamato or Ken/Miyako. I'm also including half unusual as pairing that you see alot but mostly as background pairings so they may as well be unusual like Patomon/Tailmon. Also as for writing which do you think are more of a challenge/ more interesting to write. Whilst I'd like you to enjoy this poll. Do try to think before you choose.

Going against the stream here. Hardest to write? Usual pairings. Why? Because almost everyone has already read a lot about those pairings that you now need something new to catch their attention and not just turn out as some generic usual-pairing love fic.

yes true (I'm so gald that someone pointed that out. ^-^ Goggles, you've made me a very happy bunny.) however, people tend to asume that all unusual pairings are crack or wooden so you're still in that boat (though to a lesser extent) with unusual pairings.

i must say some of the unusual (and in some case illegal pairings) are the best especially if the rating is M, such as Tai/Kari, Mimi/Sora, Kari/Cody etc etc

I agree with you to an extent. I guess that the taboo makes it a tad more fun tough I meself avoid M rated fics in general, partly for the obvious reason and partly as I've never read a semi-decent M rated fic in my life. I just find that when I imagine stuff it's more fun if the pairings more unusual. That said, M rating have never really clicked with me but if you like that sort of thing...

I go with usual pairings, they have quite good challenge since like goggles just said everyone has read a lot about them so trying to come with something new and original is a real challenge.
The unusual pairings can be interesting too but in my case I have hard time to picture them together like Kari/Cody or Kari/Matt or Tai/Yolei, though I won't deny that they can be interesting at times too.

Heck, I'm in the middle of an Agunimon-OC fic and I can tell you there aren't that many reviews (around 2 per chapter) though I seem to have caught great interest in one particular reader. I'll have to get back to it soon, I'm afraid it's getting neglected.

The problem with writing Unusual pairings is that they have less fans and most of those are just impressed that you like them (I feel that there isn't enough construtive crititism going around in general (not that I'm any good at dishing that out) but in unusal pairings it's really notable) so it's harder to get attention... whereas, there's lots of people who just lot for usual pairings... granted that attention isn't brilliant either.
Yeah, I don't know what point I'm trying to make either.

In my opinion this is a bit of a trick question because anything can be interesting if you write the pairing well enough. Usual, unusual, or halfunusual. But it's a good topic and one we haven't covered before.

I'm normally for usual like Takari but if Sorato is considered usual then no

Edit: I see voting's been closed.
