More fannish babble

[webbgirl]

Since it's clearly all I can manage these days, yet more fannish babble...

NCIS:LA - There was a tweet about Chris O'Donnell being on the Craig Ferguson show tonight and how he talks about LL Cool J 'completing' him. How am I not supposed to slash G and Sam when they hand me stuff like that? Though, I'd be really happy if my brain would get with the program and finish the damn Gibbs/G fic that I'm a little over halfway done with. It's not that long of a fic and it's all in my head. My brain just refuses to actually let it free. *sigh*

SG:A - I'm still working my way though the episodes. I'm on "The Long Goodbye" right now and I'm liking Season 2 overall. I have to say that I'm enjoying watching the show on my lonesome. I'm far removed from fannish expectations and input. While I do enjoy fannish interaction much of the time, it's not really helping my mental stability these days. The problem comes in now that I'm craving fic. I know where the archives and lists are, so that's not the problem. The problem is that my brain gets *extremely* picky about fic and characterization. I confess, I'm a McShep girl. As much as I'd like to fight it, I dig these two guys. With fic though, I get really set on the characterization that's satisfying for me. I'm just not sure how to articulate what I'm looking for to even ask for recommendations. I just know I want plotty right now. *sigh* It's totally going to be a case of hit and miss hunting.

Also? There needs to be more Caldwell love in the fandom. It's Mitch Pileggi! There should be oodles of fic about him, no matter the character. Can I make some sort of law about that?

On the good non-fannish side: DISNEYLAND ON FRIDAY!!!! I'm doing some Mouse Therapy to de-stress from the sucky job.

I should respond to the fannish stuff because, you know, yay! But really, all I want to say is...

DISNEYLAAAAAAAAAAAAND :D :D :D

S2 of SGA wasn't bad at all. I can't remember when I faded away from the show, but I remember still enjoying it in the second season.

As for looking for fic, that's a tough one. I know what you mean about needing characterizations you believe in. Best guess would be to start with writers you know from other fandoms and see what they do. Once you get hold of someone who writes them the way you like, *then* you can point to that and ask for others.

Oh, and do you need a heads up about NCIS tomorrow night? I'll likely post a quick "worth the effort" or "paaaaass". :-)

I hate it when I've got a story sitting nearly complete in my head and I just can't get it out!

I stopped reading SGA when other fandoms started eating my brain (there was just too much for me to keep up with!), but I have a bunch of McShep recs (for the most part, there might have been one or two others thrown in there) through season 3-ish, under my fic rec: sga tag.

While I do enjoy fannish interaction much of the time, it's not really helping my mental stability these days.

*nods* I totally understand. I think it's possible to read and enjoy fic without otherwise engaging in fandom, though. It's discussion and fannish events and challenges where the stress really hits.

I am totally envying the Mouse Therapy! Enjoy, and ride Space Mountain once (among several) for me. *g*
