don't be dull, be fannish

* It's funny that a Bottom!Dean lover usually finds more Bottom!Sam stories and the other way around. Weird...

* You haven't seen a real Mary-Sue character until you read about the God-sent Mina in "Dragons of a Fallen Sun" by Hickman and Weis. Fanfic readers would rip her to shreds...

* Thanks to the talented ladies who put together a soundtrack for the J2 "Sick 'Verse", I found some great singers like Jack Johnson or Jason Mraz to name just two...

* Why is it that the hottest pairing I can think of for Stargate: Atlantis is Ronon/Dean...?

* I need to write some longer fics and not just drabbles because my GreatestJournal (that I've started using as a fic archive) looks ridiculous...

* Oh man, I so should be in bed *face/keyboard*

I'm still very much in love with the music of Jason Mraz. His songs are so incredibly catchy! *hums*

Still reading "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. So far, I'm not head over heels with it but it's not bad.

---

So, Moonlight, the new vampire TV show, a clone of Forever Knight... Lets just say that Jason Dohring's the only saving grace here. I will keep watching but only because of him.

---

Fic rec:
due South: SLASH --> "True North" by Crysothemis. Fraser/RayK, post-CotW, 75 000 words and angsty Fraser - 'nough said :P During their great adventure, Ray finds out that Fraser is in love with him and reacts badly.

Oh my, The Professionals... Still so much luv for this show! If there was one protective partner, it was Bodie. Huzzah! So many plot bunnies :)

---

I so want to write something but this weekend, my cousin from Prague's coming over and on the 10th, I'm off to Frankfurt to the Book Fair there with my boss. And until then I need to finish translating "Dragons of a Fallen Sun" *groans*

---

I'm contemplating choosing one of the tables in the fanfic100 comm and writing a series of fics with Were!chesters with Sam as the Alpha of a were!pack living in a small town in the mountains... I already have plot bunnies for at least three stories *ponders*

---

I have a terrible cold and my eyes burn. Ouchie!

---

I ordered two new jigsaw puzzles, one of them with wolves. Heh! *obsessed*

---

ETA: Yay, Eureka was renewed for a 3rd season. Hurray!

I should be actually in bed already, so just a quickie!

--> Me and dinofly are having a great time doing fangirly things *giddy*

--> Today, I received S2 of Supernatural and The Fast and the Furious + 2 Fast 2 Furious on DVD. Huzzah! *even giddier*

--> Reaper premiered at 3.22 mil. viewers, Gossip Girl at 3.65 mil. Lets hope that Supernatural will do better than Reaper but I'm not holding my breath because now, even The Office is lined up in its time slot *sigh*

I should be asleep but I'm not. And so I decided to ask my friends a question...

What are your three favorite female characters on TV? In no particular order. Just from the top of your head. Three women that you really like for they are or what they do or how they behave...

For me it's (in no particular order)

( Temperance *Bones* Brennan (Bones) )
~*~
( Allison Blake (Eureka) )
~*~
( Ziva David (NCIS) )

There are many, many more but these came to my mind first because I'm still watching these shows.

What about you, dear friends?

After two years, I finally finished my Gorgeous Carat fic "Innocent Souls". 10 137 words before revision *izdead* You have no idea how relieved I am...

And another drabble for my table finished too. Eureka! And this one is pure crack! Lets just say Carter, Stark and a sewer! XD

I'm so happy that my muse is alive and kickin' once more!

You know, surfing the del.ico.us bookmarks, I realized that there is a disturbingly large number of Harry Potter mpreg fics out there. I'm sure that it means something, that it says something about the fans but I'm not really sure what *scratched head, amused*

And lets not forget the Stargate: Atlantis mpreg fics... Shep/McKay pairing to that X)

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm NOT saying that mpreg is bad/wrong/disgusting/ridiculous/etc. I've written some mpreg stories myself. But the sheer amount of mpreg fics in these two fandoms is astounding!

---

And since we are already talking about Stargate: Atlantis... There must be some fans of SG:A on my flist, right? Can you tell me why you read fanfiction for this series? What makes it so interesting and good? I would really and honestly like to know because I'm obviously missing a lot of fun!

You see, I like SG:A. It's a good series. But I just can't see myself reading fanfiction in this fandom. There are series like that, they are good but I just can't get into the fandom part of the fun. For me, it's for example The Dresden Files, Numb3rs or Heroes. And I do try, I really do. But... *shrugs helplessly*

Oh, and in the SG:A fandom? My pairing would have to include Zelenka. Because Zelenka? He rules! :D

Wall Street Journal Article: Rewriting the Rules of Fiction talks about fan fiction and how the companies owning the characters handle it...

It is a very good article but one thing bothers me - the fact that they specifically select slash and gay relationships between fictional characters in fan fiction as something to be wary of. So, explicit gay fan fiction is not good. Explicit het fan fiction is okay and acceptable... Am I the only one who sees how wrong it is? And terms like the "stigma of slash" don't help either...

You know the archive Fictionised? Two years ago, I became a member of it. Back then, it was an alternative to ff.net after they purged NC-17 stories from their archive. Het and slash fics were permitted. But obviously, during these last two years, they changed their rules and now, they lump slash stories together with bestiality and pedophilia. These stories are not allowed now there:

a) Rape
b) Incest
c) Paedophilia
d) Bestiality
e) Slash or derivations of slash.

I was asked to remove my stories because they border on slash. My reaction?

"I'm asking you to delete my account immediately - I would do it myself but I don't know how. I have no desire to stay a member of a community that compares gay relationships to bestiality or pedophilia. I've been a member of your archive for more than two years and now, I'm ashamed of it!"

The admin was really surprised how I came to think that they compare slash to bestiality. I pointed her to their own rules. Obviously, they are convinced that slash means NC-17. Obviously, they think that every gay relationship is NC-17 and unsuitable for children.

I'm not sorry to leave that archive. I can understand why ff.net banned NC-17 stories. Banning slash fully is homophobic and retarded and I refuse to support it!

ETA: Okay, according to them, homosexuality has no place in a family friendly place. I feel like crying from frustration.

I simply love the newbieguide comm. So many fandoms with comprehensible lists of links. That makes me very very happy!

And the GIANTmicrobes are so cute that I want to cuddle them. They must be so soft. Aww... Thank you, dinofly for the link! :)

First of all - you have to take a look at Demonhunt's Supernatural manipulations! Oh. My. God! The manips are amazing!

Second - take a look at this: Scandinavian Hunks! *drools*

Off to work :)
