Fandoms

I'm feeling all a bit multifannish at the moment, which is really different and not normal for me. Usually I'm all a bit blinkered to anything but my current objects of lust. I don't know. I still otp Roger/Rafa like anything-- gah, I love them, they are made of unicorns and rainbows-- but the fandom is maybe too small to really wallow in it as one would like.

Merlin is more pretty to me than it was a few months ago, and I really liked the first episode of series two, where Arthur was a total douchebag to Merlin and Merlin was all sad and wistful and, well, jealous about having his place usurped by Cedric and his awesome hair. Colin Morgan is really pretty, even with giant ears. He is really really pretty. Like, a lot. I also like how Bradley James seems to be actually officer class in real life too, judging from the interviews I've seen of him.

Jensen Ackles is also really really pretty. Oh, god, look at my theme. Supernatural is one of those programmes that I think I am never going to write fic for - and that's a bit freeing actually. Like watching a really good tennis match where you're not invested in the outcome. That's not to say I don't care about the outcome, just that I don't have to take it quite so personally if the plot/real life doesn't go the way I want.

So, anyway, my thesis concludes with people on TV are pretty. That basically sums up everything on my mind right now.

Multifannishly, I hear you! I find it very difficult to be in my tiny sub-fandom of one over in J-Pop Madness... which is mostly because nobody except me is writing fanfic I want to read. Which is kind of like stumbling through a desert half-dead of thirst and watching people all around you gulp down delicious water that *you can't drink*. Or could, but can't because you can't digest it properly. Uhm. (That allegory kind of got away from me... sorry about that. *g*)

Have been avoiding Merlin for fear it might make me abandon my difficult fandom for greener pastures - because before that happens, I need to finish my epic. :-)

I'm having the opposite. I can't really find anything to love/obsess over right now. It's all very sad. So consequently I am writing all these half-fics for a bunch of things (although I did do crack SPN a day ago. Jensen Ackles *is* pretty, and Misha Collins is soooo coming in a close second, because wow those eyes and that mouth! And that voice!).

And ooooh Merlin! Morgan is also incredibly pretty! And I love how toffy BJ is as Arthur. It makes me sad that no-one out there seems to think Merlin ever tops, when personally I think Arthur would make an awesome surly bottom, ordering Merlin around and acting completely entitled about doing almost none of the work, and then being shocked and appalled that he utterly, utterly loved it (he's the hero, after all! Heroes don't bottom! Do they?).

Okay, so that's Devi's Inner Mind Theatre playing, and if I really was inspired to write Merlin, that's totally how it would happen. I just wish someone else would write it instead T__T

Wait. Did that entire reply turn into fangirling about pretty men? How did that happen??!

Also? I'm kind of picturing Rafa and Roger skipping around in fields of flowers, with sparkly rainbows and sparkles and white, horned horses with flowing manes in background, and it is awesome.

For years I focused solely on one fandom at a time, but these days that feels almost impossible. Especially since moving to LJ, people talk about other fandoms and you get sucked in whether you meant to or not; also, like you say, most fandoms are so smalllll. The nice thing for me about Roger/Rafa though is that they sparkle all on their own without any fanon/fic even needed (don't get me wrong, I love the fic, but their canon rules).

Anyway, on the other hand, fandoms like Merlin can almost feel TOO big. I'll never be able to read all of the fic -- when I first started watching, I actually did, you know, walk through the entire

merlinxarthur archive, and that was actually doable without quitting my job and living on caffeine. Now? Not a chance, and I'm certain I'm missing out on some wonderful gems, or on some Colin-Bradley stupidity. (You have seen their video diaries (http://worldwouldend.livejournal.com/147517.html), yes? They are both stupid and stupidly pretty.)

I don't watch SPN, but I did watch Dark Angel, and it was entirely based on the hotness of Jensen Ackles!

You're so shallow.

P.S. I found some (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/297/photos;_ylt=AsZ8QZjF7qY8ap6pYHAx74Uxv7YF#photoViewer=urn%3Anewsml%3Asports.yahoo%2Cap%3A20050301%3Aten%2Cphoto%2C9e60a0dcde2b4b1f91c2cc74439ebc5e.spain_tennis_davis_cup_mf107%3A1) more (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/599/photos#photoViewer=urn%3Anewsml%3Asports.yahoo%2Cgetty%3A20050301%3Aten%2Cphoto%2C1245ed94670d119c266ffb13a7775236-getty-tennis-davis-esp-isr%3A1) photos (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/players/599/photos#photoViewer=urn%3Anewsml%3Asports.yahoo%2Cap%3A20050301%3Aten%2Cphoto%2C0e2499fb99ab4e97857c43ee6e0af0da.spain_israel_davis_cup_tennis_mf112%3A1) of unshaven Feli. Just fyi.

but the fandom is maybe too small to really wallow in it as one would like.

Oooh, I know what you mean here. Often I'll get starry-eyed over something, but after a while I always find myself gravitating to larger playgrounds, since there are a few more kids to play with. *g*

I hope you enjoy your fannishness, wherever you go and whatever you do!

cedric's hair was freaking AWESOME, right? and jensen ackles is okay too, i suppose.

Multifandomness just means MORE CROSSOVERS!

Have a wonderful time at Connotations :)

T_T

Saiyuki doesn't touch your tra-la-la anymore. I'll go to cry to a corner now, if you don't mind.

Poor, poor Gojyo.

Supernatural is really hard not to get caught up in. I am not sure why it is so compelling, except that I really dig fantasy/supernatural stuff. Plus the over-the-top angst floats my boat as well. >_> And Dean, such a hottie. (Sam isn't my type. >_>)

I tend to intensely like one thing at a time as well. I enjoy Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and Dogs (Haine and Badou... and OMG I heart their totally screwed-up mentally and emotionally, psychotic selves so much), but have no desire to write for them. Saiyuki is pretty much floating my boat in the biggest way. I want answers from that tease Minekura!!

Saiyuki is my first, last and always fandom. ALthough I have dabbled outside the comfort zone into Samurai 7 and GetBackers. Being in the sparkly ghei world of boybandery is something new to me. And when I first started down its slippery slope the feeling that I've somehow betrayed something in myself was a little niggle at the back of my mind. Eventually I got over it. ^_^ It's good to evolve into other things and some people let go of the other things ... some hang on to a few. I don't think leaving the Saiyuki fandom will ever happen for me

HUgs and love - have a great great weekend ok!

I still otp Roger/Rafa like anything... but the fandom is maybe too small to really wallow in it as one would like.

Yeah, it's a real shame. There just isn't much fic posted for them. I have gone through the

fedal_slash 'memories' section a dozen times, looking for something I haven't read yet, but no such luck. So now I'm just re-reading the things I've read so many times. Which isn't so bad, 'cause there is good stuff out there. Just nothing new. I've rattled on long enough. XD

I forced myself to get over my fear and slight distaste for the horror genre when I started watching SPN, and 5 seasons later of staring at Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki (who grew up to be a mighty fine manbeast) I do not regret it in the least ♥ Glorious specimens of the good that can come out of Texas, I guess :D
