Due North

[louiselux]

Due South has been well and truly pimped at me. I love it as much as Ray loves Fraser, which apparently, from what I can tell from watching the pilot episode, is a lot. Fraser is pretty!

Yesterday we staggered about Reading in the heat. daegaer got some Birkenstocks in the sale, I bought some Flying Fox shower gel from Lush - it's jasmine scented and very addictive. HMV also had a sale so we each bought some cheap anime. And it was pretty cheap in all respects, too, when we watched it. It featured mostly vampires and poor voice acting and things going splat. Then we went to the Friar Street bookshop and bought bagfuls of manga each - yaay.

We spent the afternoon collapsed in the shade in my garden reading manga. daegaer passed the time inventing some new mpreg genres. Wing-preg-- is that where your wings get pregnant or where you get wings if pregnant? Needs some ironing out, that one. There was also much discussion over exactly which flavour of Pot Noodle Crowley would eat during the epic Crowley Angsts Into His Pot Noodle story, which I swear never to write. Answer: chicken and mushroom. I have some ideas for my bb_shousetsou story, which at this point mostly involves werecats and vampires. Possibly werehamsters too. Hmmm.

I tihnk we're going to Oxford today for a look round and then later tonight off to pick up HBP! *quietly chokes with excitement*

Seems like you're having a blast! And Due South! I used to absolutely love that show, haven't seen it in ages though.
I got a copy of HBP ordered and will pick it up first thing tomorrow morning. I predict that I'll never have showered and prepared so quickly on a Saturday morning before... ever :D

There is much Due South love chez Louise at this point in time, although with HBP I'm suffering fandom overload, ie, don't know what to squee about more.

Due South is indeed a lovely thing. :-) So did you see the 1st season pilot, or the 3rd season one?

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

I've seen the first series pilot so far, and two episodes. It's hugely enjoyable and so incredibly slashy. It's like they did it on purpose.

Okay, so the Due South love? This is good! But, like...if this has the potential to turn into a writing fandom, see if you can wait until you've seen *both* Rays to decide what pairing you like best. I mean, yes, the world is crying out for well-written Fraser/Vecchio (because, man, talk about a pairing that seems to attract more than its share of retro-schmoop writers) and I do love Vecchio as a character - but my pairing of choice is Fraser and...the other Ray. *g*

Because, you know...it's all about me!!!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, I will take your advice about the Rays. Vecchio is so clearly in love with Fraser though, and really who can blame him? So far I've only seen the first part of series one but daegaer has clearly outlined the attractions of Fraser/Ray 2, so squeeeeee!

YAY YOU ARE PIMPED INTO MY FAVORITE FANDOM!!! Wait until you get to seasons 3 & 4...

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm in love with DS. Fraser is so pretty, so clearly gay...

Looks like I've finally found the cure for my recent internet malaise...

Glad to be of service... I shall be expecting results from this.

[lovelyzelda.livejournal.com]

Well, it's resulted in...something (http://www.livejournal.com/users/lovelyzelda/108388.html#cutid1).

New mpreg genres! It's a grand way of passing the time:D
