Talon & Kuno <3 Kyonko
Clearly Blastoise is out of the loop, so I'll try explaining things to him in memes:

Re: Talon & Kuno <3 Kyonko
Hm? I don't get it. What's Kyonko? Is it some Haruhi thing cause I might be out of the loop otherwise. <.<

Like any of the great anime fandom parodies from the last 5 years, this one got its start in Japan (*sigh*) and is still 90% grounded there; but there are some fans over here who are beginning to sink their teeth into it. (One of these days, I'm confident we'll be the ones to start a fad that doesn't begin in '/' or involve image macros.) I don't think it will be capable of the longevity enjoyed by the OS-tans because they were able to evolve beyond OSes and to incorporate hardware and non-OS software whereas Kyonko is more likely to get tiresome even for fans of Haruhi, never mind the legions of trolls who fundamentally hate Haruhi and therefore hate Kyonko just as much. If you dislike Haruhi, *shrug*. If you like Haruhi, then I imagine you'd be as spastic as me about wanting to see this brilliant fan concept incorporated into at least one of the novels before the author calls it quits.

Re: Talon & Kuno <3 Kyonko
I looked it up a bit and I'm not that big of a fan of alternate universes. XP Not unless they travel to them in a Sliders-like fashion.

Re: Talon & Kuno <3 Kyonko
Considering the entire concept behind Haruhi is that she is capable of redefining the Universe on a whim, a Haruki & Kyonko crossover makes perfect sense. Considering the first novel already established that Haruhi considers herself open to bisexuality, she certainly has to have wondered to herself "What it would be like if I was the guy and Kyon was the girl?" And then, whammo. Insta-universe conversion. With Kyonko and the rest having to figure out a way to get Haruki to return things back to normal.

Re: Talon & Kuno <3 Kyonko
Well that's different. From what I read it would just be as if though it was always the alternate universe.

Re: Talon & Kuno <3 Kyonko
Some fans would prefer that, and I think that's probably how the ball got rolling, so you certainly "read it right", whatever your source was; however, what I've proposed above is (a) my hopes for how the author could justifiably bring this fandom idea into one (and just one) novel as the centerpiece for the plot and (b) a way in which it would believably work given what we already know about Suzumiya Haruhi from the portions of Books 1, 2, and 4 that made it into the first season.
Personally, I see the Kyonko idea as an incredibly fun side-quest from the main story, but when the sun sets and the day is done I'm 100% happy with the genders as they're currently assigned. Except Itsuki, who continues to weird me out.

Re: Talon & Kuno <3 Kyonko
I own the first nine. lol I have read (in Japanese) the first half of Book 1, but I was largely aided by previous knowledge from the anime and by a kanji dictionary I was consulting every 3rd character. This was back in Summer 2006 when it first aired. I haven't attempted to read the books since, although I have noticed that my Japanese reading skills seem to be still pretty sharp thanks to all the reading of hentai I do >_> , so I guess if I ever formally pick the language up again and/or go to Japan for a year, I would probably be able to make use of the ~$70 spent.
All I can say is, the dialogue in Haruhi is damn easy, but Kyon's narrative is insane. There's nothing I hate more than having to consult a dictionary every single sentence, not because you don't know the vocabulary but because you can't read it. @_@

Re: Talon & Kuno <3 Kyonko
Shouldn't this viral crap be in the anime forum? And one of the first Kyonko images surfaced nearly a year ago whys it only caught on now exactly?

The correct answer is Futaba Channel recently had an influx of newbies, the majority of which are "underaged ban" who are severely lacking in quantities of lurk and more. Nevertheless, a lot of people were still surprised at the sheer number of these kiddies when "CaramelDansen" became popular again. It's been dead for several years yet suddenly surges in popularity because of these people. Short answer is - Kyonko classic appeared a year too early. That, and the original "ok" genderbending shops spread like wildfire among Futaba's newbies because they were rumoured to have been done by a girl.
