It has come to my attention that I'm sorely lacking in the understanding of Ancient Chinese warfare (<lj site="livejournal.com" user="worldserpent"> <_<). To remedy such a deficiency I shall attempt to read <B>Romance of the Three Kingdoms</B> during the summer break. Of course since my Chinese suck arse I might try to find the kid-friendly version. You know the one with the flowcharts and diagrams to keep track of who is aligned with whom, and who won which battle when, where and how.

(Please tell me there is a kid-friendly version).

(And no, there isn’t any other nefarious reason for wanting to read rotk. Honest.)

Zhu Ge Liang and Zhou Yu!

The obsession on Zhou Yu's part is just a tad too much, and I'm a pure slash fangirl at heart... even if the two aren't exactly equally aesthetics pleasing. The way I figure it Zhou Yu is pretty enough for everyone *coughs*. Beside the sea battle with the burnign ships had always made me giggle for some reason ^^;;

Zhao Yun and Lui Bei isn't bad either. Because you know, there's hero worship and then there's the other sort <_< There are more but my mind can't seem to conjure up the names at the present time ^^;; Now, what about you? *nefariousness*

Yesss. Am curious, though -- if you haven't played Dynasty Warriors, what exactly was it that snagged you into the fandom? o_o

I am, um. Total Zhou Yu fangirl. XD;; The most canonical pairing for him would be with 孫策, I suppose, though the angst is a bit of an overkill. Zhuge Liang's reaction after his death in RotTK kind of puts a damper for me on that pairing, though it's popular in what tiny RotTK fandom there is.

I've only come across two pieces of RotTK fic worth reading -- Chinese, of course, and both by the same author. The first was gen, the second had a glimmer of Zhao Yun/Zhou Yu. I'll dig up links for you after I get home? ♥ Still can't seem to find the RotTK center of Cfandom, though. Woe!
