Fandoms

[louiselux]

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.

Sometimes it isn't even good fiction. (quite possibly I'm just picky/fussy/pedantic) Whilst English and grammar isn't a forte with me ... the lack of real thought in these areas are the real letdowns for me I think. Don't mistake me there are stellar writers out there that are a pleasure to read. but the gems are few. Also a lot of folk tend to bring out multi-post fics. That are very good too. BUT *sigh* the thing with coming late to boybandery with hubby and children in tow is that I like to read nice short one shot-ty type things.

I'm picky/fussy and pedantic I know. My fault I guess, because there really are a number of prolific and excellent ficcers.

I'm trying to recognise your icons by the way and am failing miserably. May I ask who they are? THe one at the top looks like Koikke from WaT but I might be totally wrong of course. Also who is YOUR j-pop fandom then? I tend to shy away from too many comms. mainly because I really don't have time for it all and by heavens some of the drama in them can out-drama the best angst filled K & J- drama!

Hey, I hear you on the problem of finding good fiction. I am generally rather fussy too, although this fandom has worn me down to the point where I'd be willing to make enormous allowances, if only someone would write the pairing (or the one character) at ALL.

The guys in my icons basically are my jpop fandom: The one on the top (and in this icon) is Junno from KAT-TUN, and the other one is Ryo, from News and Kanjani8. I ship them hard, and I am the only one in the world who does, I think. :-)(I have a pimping post here (http://rheasilvia.livejournal.com/38752.html?mode=reply), if you're interested, though I don't blame you if you're not. *g*)
