the beginning is the end is the beginning

I caught up with the Prince of Tennis National Finals a while ago and I really liked the ending.

Actually, I had an IM window with Sam open, and I was actually complaining to him about how they had completely given up on even Crazy Tennis Logic and just had Ryoma transferring his Magical Tennis Aura from body part to body part to defeat Yukimura when Nanjiroh showed up! The true secret to magical sparkly tennis, according to Nanjiroh, is fandom -- being so obsessed with tennis that you not only eat, sleep and breathe it, but you keep alive that initial rush of fannish glee. (And porn! Because you can't have Nanjiroh without porn.)

As far as I'm concerned, Dear Prince is basically a love letter to fandom in all its gleeful cracky porny obssessive glory, and I just want to say, thank you. ♥

Also! Now we have a nice closed canon to write futurefic in, and the Chinese drama for quasi-AU goodness! Life is good.
