I think I came into that fandom at a bad time, ie when it came on AS. Though I love the story and the manga, the fandom around really hinders my perception of it sometimes.

Mostly it's the "You are all idiots! I can't believe I have to relate with you dumbasses!"

I don't personally know anyone who's non-het yet, but I'm out of the loop anyway. I hope the fandom does keep on growing, but it's awfully discouraging to see authors that have pretty well written stories not update for months. :/
