HAHA Now THIS picture caught your attention, right?!?! ^_________^
Usually I do not take a liking in fan art as I’m quite picky particularly in terms of the quality of the art but this is a clear winner! Who does not agree?! Again, I don’t know who the creator of the picture is. If it is you and you do not wish to have it posted here, just let me know!
Mai-Otome was the first anime where I looked up for fan fiction. ShizNat is one of my favourite pairings! Hmm…I wonder why…I think it was the subtlety of their relationship in the anime AND I seem to have a soft spot for characters with dark blue hair!! (Think Sachiko here…) Plus, who cannot like Shizuru’s playful character? Reminds me of a feminised Sei from Marimite and Shizuma from SP!
Yuribou made some good fanfic recommendations on his post. It’s not a bad spot to start but I’ve sifted through and listed my favourites below!
- The Little Things by Seravy – this is a series of 12 standalone short stories (and Seravy is still writing!). The reason I like it is because each chapter is a short story and they slip in at different points in time of the anime – like after the stolen underwear incident and the cake baking contest! haha It’s very light reading and captures the essence of the characters. Nothing naughty here!
- All With Good Intentions by Kieli – this is a multi chapter story so not a short read but it’s good!!! It’s been a while since I last read it so I can’t remember the details but check it out!! Hehe
- Calendar by Avy – this is another series of standalone short stories but these are all fiction with no reference to story in the anime. Some excerpts are only so so or skippable but some will definitely break a smile on your face! These are short so will take little brain power to digest. The key ones to check out…’Story 4: a shower’ is one of my favourites! haha Does the name give it away?! Other good ones are ‘Story 6: a call’ and ‘Story 10: a promise’. Once you read those, you’ll realise that I like fluff. Anything that’s too poetic and imaginary…my eyes just glazes over…

HAHA it was in my yuri picture albumXD i would say its the best best best best best bestX9999999 shiznat pic ever! XD
April 7, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Alucard
imo Shiznat is undoubtedly the best pairing ever. i love them <3 thank to them i started travel with yuri xDD during watching mai hime i noticed that Shizuru is into Natsuki and i realized ;omfg she’s a lesbian! that was something completly new for me. yeah it is cute this picture, but i’ve seen so many of fanarts with them that i don’t remember is it really the best xD

Hehehe Yep – Ninnypants!! That pic is a bit hard to beat! The first time I saw it, it took my breath away! haha
Hmm…I think they’re quite a unique pairing. Why? I believe they are portrayed as a real couple with a real relationship who just happens to be between two girls. On the extreme ends, we have your Shoujo Sect batch and on the other we have Marimite. What’s in between? Aside from ShizNat, I struggle to think of another. But then my view might be swayed by the fan fics that I’ve seen! LOL They’re great. =)
One of my favourite pairings!!!!!! hahahaha

Thingle IS da Asian Sensation
It looks like the girl wearing the skirt is the dominant one….
When I first looked at the fanarts on this couple, I kinda fantasized about skirt girl being the bottom while the dark haired one being the top…. but unfortunately, the reverse might be true.
April 8, 2009 at 11:23 PM
Sleepy
Huh?!? Isn’t Shizuru always portrayed as the more forward/dominant one? Like her character in Mai Otome/Hime?! Anyway, I really don’t think there’s much u can complain about this pic!! Hahaha
April 8, 2009 at 11:37 PM
hh
favourite pic for me too! i got it for quite some time.. few years back actually. i forgot who made it now. i knew she that shiznat is one of her favourite pairing too and i remember reading her livejournal, she also has a devianart account. arghhh now tt u mentioned it i cant rmmbr the site!!!
anyway, natsuki (blue haired) is top. just that shizuru is doing the pursuing most of the time..
i would so date shizuru.
April 8, 2009 at 11:41 PM
Thingle IS da Asian Sensation
Yeah, that’s the problem!!! I wanted Shizuru to be the submissive one, well based on this picture because she looks more feminine (in a demure way) here.
April 10, 2009 at 12:39 AM
Sleepy
Hey hh!! I wish you could remember who the creator was!?!? I would so trawl thru her entire devianart account!! Haha so date Shizuru?!? Well she’s prett hard to push away if she was real?!? Haha I would probably do the same! Haha :p
Good choice Thingle! I love that pic too cos it portrays the real relationship of them in Mai-hime. The one is just a fan fantasizing!!! LOL
April 10, 2009 at 2:27 AM
Thingle IS da Asian Sensation
Lol Yeah, Shizuru’s hand in cheek pose is very feminine or is it just me interpreting too much? ^___^
natsuki’s strong glare and relaxed pose makes her look like a tomboy in that pic.

“Ahhh!! Can’t make a decision. Kidnap Shizuru or eliminate NatShiz????!!”
(Akira stares in Natsuki’s direction)
Akira: “NATSUKI KUGA. I CHALLENGE YOU TO….”
(THE INTENSE MOMENT OF SILENCE)
Akira: “A GAME OF POKEMON!!!”
(Akira takes out ultimate deck of Pokemon cards)
Natsuki: “CHEATER!!! YOU MADE THAT DECK AN HOUR AGO!”
Akira: Pff. Nobody saw anything.
(Akira GLARES at others.)
Everyone: *gulp.*
Shizuru: Ara… Natsuki, what a wonderful time for you to show the true power of your EVERLASTING UNDYING LOVE for me. *evil smirk*
(Shizuru takes out a carefully made out FREAKING-AWESOME-ULTRA-MEGA-SUPER-GOOD deck of cards)
Akira: O.o
Akira: T_T lol.
Akira: DIGIMON THEN?
(repeat what happened with the Pokemon cards)
Akira: Uh… Yu-gi-oh?
(repeat again)
Akira: Bleach, Naruto, *lists A LOT of card games*
—— An hour later——
Akira: FINE! LET’S PLAY… GOLDFISH! NO CHEATING!!
*pouts*
Everyone: *sigh…*
Lol. Bit overused…. but it works, right??

Shizuru? Submissive? Only ever in fanfic. Can anyone recommend a ShizNat fanfic where they’re actually in character? You know. *Actual* fanfic. Not author self-inserts.
