Fanfic recs and other fandom stuff

[misscam]

That was an interesting day. Quite. Not in a bad way, just... Interesting. And then I decided to relax by watching The Parent Trap. Why, I'm not quite sure. My taste goes odd places sometimes. Course, now I'm exhausted and I'm supposed to donate blood tomorrow. Mmm, needles.

Funny the things we do to feel better about ourselves sometimes. Little good deeds - but they do make the world much more pleasant. (Now whay doesn't fandom have Little Good Deeds days to make up for when we're wanking all over each other, hmmm?)

And today's rec for Goodfic Appreciation Week, in honour of the "Drose" debacle - One/Rose. In all seriousness. And it works.

Closed Circle by calapine.
If there is one thing that she’s learned, it’s that time isn’t linear. Now doesn’t matter. Because then could come back. Can never be. Can change. Nobody writes the future. It’s always been there. She is dead. Alive. Gone and back home in time for…
…how she wishes for shepherd’s pie. Piping hot. Her mother’s high-pitched voice in the background, drowning out the telly.

My other rec today is an older CSI fic that manages to give a nod to many ships without being a ship fic and man, could the fandom need the art of toning it down from it.

The Naming of Parts by kerlin
She has watched his shoulders slumped in grief, and then she has watched them roll and square again in a slow evolution of growing confidence. The first time she saw him do that, she realized why it was Warrick, more so than any of the rest of them, that was Grissom's heir apparent.

Elsewhere on the web:
The Doctor Who spin-off that is never to be, apparently (spoilers for the end of season two).
David Tennant talks about his underwear, fandom pays attention
Stargate: SG-1 is cancelled - will there be wank?
Airline security makes for wank too

Now I am going to bed. Honest.

Oh noes, not Stargate! The internet will never recover from the wank.

I hope this is just a rumor. I checked SciFi.com for confirmation, but couldn't find anything.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Looks to be confirmed, sadly. So the wank commeth.

[kerowyn47.livejournal.com]

The wank commmeth indeed. I sense many angry emails headed toward SciFi channel. Perhaps this means they'll finally get to do the movie they're always talking about.

[renn.livejournal.com]

Which Parent Trap was it? The Lindsay Lohan version or the superior (and original) Hayley Mills version?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately the first.

[uangel05.livejournal.com]

*icon love* onoes indeed... heh

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I mocketh the stupid ship names, yay.

[lyricalviolet.livejournal.com]

Now that the SciFi channel has confirmed the cancellation, I'm sure wanking will abound to porportions never before witness.

And also, I'm sure Ben Browder and Claudia Black will get a lot of the blame from the fandom, since their arrivals were so heavily touted.

Although the irony of the show that got blamed for "Farscape"'s cancellation being cancelled itself is...well, ironic. Sorry, I'm tired and headachy and not at my most witty.

There's already two or three petitions for SG-1's renewal circling LJ, and I'm sure if the Gaters mobilize like the Scapers did, the lamenting and demanding will be heard 'cross hill and dale.

Ah well. I'm off to read about David Tennant's underwear....thanks for the link!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Farscape didn't get half as many seasons as SG-1 did, though.

Underwear makes for interesting starts to the day, it appears.

[lyricalviolet.livejournal.com]

Farscape didn't get half as many seasons as SG-1 did, though.

And look at all the gnashing of teeth and beating of chests Farscape got (though most of it was deserved, admittedly).

Imagine what's gonna go down with this one...

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Oh, why have I defriended tennant_love when there is hilarious talk about MAN PANTS?

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

You should friend it again, someone uploaded the interview *rofl*

[aervir.livejournal.com]

I shall go and have a look for that later!

But why the heck was even discussing his underwear on some British radio station?

*is still a bit confuzzled*

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Go there now, there's even MAN PANTS WANK growing now *g*

[aervir.livejournal.com]

In which post exactly? (And MAN PANTS WANK is, um, a very fitting collocation, if I may say so.)

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Someone's complaining about the MAN PANTS FRENZY

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

*clicks in a frenzy*

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit suspicious that the girls stirring the wank seem to be 'sisters'... maybe they have a Nanny, too?

[aervir.livejournal.com]

If the OP of the complaint is indeed a troll, she should try much harder, methinks. Choose a topic more controversial than talk about David's underwear.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

MAN PANTS FTW!

David is such a tease commenting he can see the underwear in question right now... *dies*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Makes one wonder if he sleeps all naked, I suppose.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

DO NOT SAY THINGS LIKE THAT!

It makes me all giggly like a teenager *is ashamed*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Giggles are good for your health, I'll have you know.

Besides, sleeping naked is perfectly natural :P

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

*floats on a cloud of semi-smutty thoughts about naked David Tennant*

[kerlin.livejournal.com]

Ah! Thank you for the rec. I had nearly forgotten about that piece.

I like the idea of Goodfic Appreciation week...I'll have to pull together some rec posts.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Always funny how some people really fall for writing you yourself has long since forgotten, innit? But it is a lovely piece.

Good as. The more, the better.

I think I'm probably the only person IN THE WORLD who is happy that SG1's been canned.

[glinda-penguin.livejournal.com]

Oh god no... Stargate was my first fandom...and the first I felt the need to flee when the wank got too much... I can't even watch the show anymore... :S
