Fandom and Fanfics

[misscam]

C/W screencaps, season one (For Ramsey's site, as usual, but feel free to snag if you wish - season 2-4 can be found here.)

I have an utterly annoying plotbunny running around in my head for a GSR fic with the following Sara line: "I gave up hope. Problem is, I never gave up the fantasy." Trouble is, bunny ain't giving me the context. Die bunny, diiiiiiiie!

And I just realised I have now officially written more CSI fics than LotR ones. Though the LotR ones include OFUM in both parts, so it's probably more words. Of course, the most fics I wrote for a fandom remain Water Rats and with good margin, too. I kinda miss it sometimes. Little fandom, but I met some excellent friends there. And far, far less wank. Though there was still some. There be fandom, there be wank, it seems.

Which reminds me, I was tagged by _cloudedvision

Oh, I myself love those bunnies running in your head, especially because they'll bring me another wonderful piece of Cam!fiction...here, little bunny-bunny, come here!

Little fandom, but I met some excellent friends there. And far, far less wank. Though there was still some. There be fandom, there be wank, it seems.

Come on, the wank can be fun!

CSI Returneth. I went away for two years or so, but I'm back again.

I'm terribly curious (and I'm back to bug you ;P)...When and why did you leave the CSI fandom?

Tom Cruise proposes to Katie Holmes.

Damn! He got snatched..again!

The e-mail row thing is pure madness!
And the article on the Iraq war was very interesting. Thanks, as usual, for providing my brain with something worth thinking over, Cam!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ah, you're back, are you? :P

::Elisa dangles a carrot in front of the Cam's GSR-bunny ::

You take the bunny if you love it so :P:P

Come on, the wank can be fun!

Sure, but it's hardly dignifying. *poses for Idiot Wanker of the Month cover*

I'm terribly curious (and I'm back to bug you ;P)...When and why did you leave the CSI fandom?

Well, I kinda gradually slipped out from the beginning of 2003 as exams loomed and I was graduating University and moving back to Norway. Just... real life busy. Got home and Norway was far behind in CSI eps and other things just held my attention. End of 2004, I started getting CSI on DVD and the obsession crept back. So here I am again.

Damn! He got snatched..again!

What, you wanted him?

[falena]

I have a thing for short men...because I'm not exactly tall and I kinda don't like men looming over me.(though I'd gladly make an exception for Gary Dourdan or Hugh Laurie)

Plus, Tom Cruise seems to changes his mind pretty often when it comes to women (he was married three times IIRC) and it's proved that he doesn't mind Mediterranean women ( he dated Penelope Cruz after all).

[misscam.livejournal.com]

He's also been kinda batshit insane acting this week...

I like my men tall, I do.

[falena]

My ex BF was pretty tall (and i hate wearing heels) so we made quite a pair when we walked down the street side by side...Kind of like Legolas and Gimli ;P

[misscam.livejournal.com]

But Legolas and Gimli are cuuuuuuuute!

[falena]

Yes, they are indeed, but I hope I'm a bit more good-looking than Gimli and my ex surely wasn't as bloody gorgeous as Orlando Bloom!

Okay, I'm clogging your LJ again. But after learning of the existence of your own personal troll (Iseeyoucam IIRC) I'm not that worried anymore...

Btw, is that troll completely mad or what?There must be some kind of way you could "report" him to the people running LJ.com or something...It creeps the hell out of me!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hehehe. If he had been that, you'd surely not let him go. By force, if necessary.

Hehe. Oh, I know very well who the troll is. It was born out of this entry. As you can see adoralyna got a troll at the same time, so you might be able to guess how all this ties together...

[falena]

Mmm, I see.

Still, I find it rather creepy...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You just have troll envy.

[falena]

Oh no, I can assure you that. I had my own flesh-and-blood troll and I've had enough, thank you very much. You can have the virtual trolls all to yourself ;P

PS: You're icon is lovely. Who is that cute little thing?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

That is Princess Ingrid Alexandria, Future Queen of Norway. She's the firstborn of the Crown Prince and Princess and thus, with our new laws, inherit the throne one day as Norway's first modern ruling Queen.

[falena]

She's definitely cuter than Elizabeth II of England, the only queen I know of. (Didn't know Norway had a monarchy. I'm really ignorant, I know.)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Tsssk.

Yeah, we're a Constitutional Monarchy. Ruling monarch is King Harald, but he's getting old.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Psst, babe! Check here.

Where do you go to find good X-men fic? I've never yet dared brave the section at FF.net...

Tom Cruise proposes to Katie Holmes

I now predict lots of idiotic gushing about Romance and Twu Wub from the Aussie tabloid press. This, incidentally, would be the same tabloid press which demonised him when he divorced Nicole Kidman because "OMG, how could he do that to Our Nic?".

Most of the time Sometimes I just want to knock their heads together.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh, since I'm a sad Wolverine/Rogue closet shipper, I read a lot of fanfic at specific sites for those.

Heh, yeah, I can imagine Woman's Weekly already...

[meeta.livejournal.com]

I love that cap of the two of them standing face-to-face in the hallway. I forget what episode it's from but it makes me feel all wubby.

Will do the meme when I have time!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Crate 'n Burial, I'm pretty sure you mean. Yeah, that's all 'mmm, hello!' I'd make hot icons of it if I could.

:)
