neverwhereWow, another update! I'm spankin'! *giggles*
It's not really an update. I just thought I would participate in this interesting meme thingy. Since I don't read fanfics I'm not really coming from that perspective, I hope you don't mind. But I think I can guarantee to have some outrageously unpopular opinions. Wooohooo! ;-)
[Star Trek: The Next Generation]
ST:TNG, I love you dearly, but if I have to hear 'In the late 20th century...' to describe something one more time I will disavow you and swear my alligence to your archnemesis Babylon 5.
Riker was a giant Space Slag, who was not sexy but a carrier of disease across the galaxy. That plague that wiped out the once peaceful planet of Euphoria Minor? Yep, that was Riker.
[The X-Files]
Agent Pendrell was the perfect man for Scully, and they would have lived happily ever after if hadn't been for that whole dying thing. (Curse you Chris Carter!)
[Stargate: SG-1]
I love Jonas, and so should you. JONAS IS COOL. Jonas is intelligent, adorable, charismatic and a fun addition to SG-1. He is not, I repeat not an emotionally vapid Gary-Stu with a Deus ex Machina complex. Jonas rules, and quite frankly Daniel (though I still crush on him madly) pretty much SUCKS since his timely return from The Great Beyond.
[Harry Potter]
Harry is too fucked up to have a girlfriend. Why do you even pretend otherwise? If you want to write an AU fic where he is not emotionally disturbed, go right ahead. But if you want to remain Canon PLEASE do not ignore that fact that he has suffered, and continues to suffer on a daily basis. Just imagine what that does to a person! His entire life has been one misery after another, and now he is in the middle of a war which he did not want, yet he finds himself the centre of all the action. He has FAR too much on his mind to be bothered with romance of any kind, and occasionally barely even has time for his friends. Why on earth should anyone want to force him into a relationship? Pity the poor child who gets saddled with this stubborn, irascible, bi-polar saviour of the world.
[LOTR]
Pippin is NOT stupid. GAH! Leave my Pip alone, dammit. He is comic relief, but that has never been his only function. He is not one-dimensional in any way. He does, in fact SAVE MIDDLE EARTH. So just shut up about my beloved being childish comic relief.
[Buffy]
I'm sorry, but however much I appreciate that Willow/Tara was the best, most realistic homosexual relationship on tv, Oz was a zillion times better than Tara.
Spike lost all interesting qualities when he became Buffy's Bitch. Where has the man who once called people 'Happy Meals with legs' gone!
[Doctor Who]
The Enemy Within kicked arse, despite the fact that it's so Americanized, and has a kiiiiiss, and Eric Roberts as The Master. I was one of the first people in the world to know what it would look like, and if you could have seen how much love and attention went into making this production, you would appreciate it too. And besides, Eight is hot. So there. :-P
[Every Fandom]
Never ever show off your squicky twincest/beastiality/whatever fanfic or photomanip to the real people you've based it on. EVER. It's just plain rude! How would YOU like it if someone wrote a story about you and your brother or your mum or your best friend (or all three at once)? You wouldn't like it very much, would you. If you want to write it, GO AHEAD! Knock yourself out. Write or draw as much as your bursting little heart desires. But don't pretend that your objects of desire share your passion! If they want to see it themselves, and maybe have a good laugh, let them do it in private and on their own terms. Is that too much to ask? No, of course not.
Edit: I can't believe I forgot this one.
Two people can be in a loving, devoted relationship and not be shagging each other. This goes for both straight and gay relationships. I think people have gotten so carried away with making sure that homosexual relationships are seen and heard that they're seeing them everywhere. I'm certainly not saying that you shouldn't write a story where Frodo and Sam, or Sirius and Remus or whomever are together, but for the love of Varda do not say that it's Canon. As much as I might want to believe Picard and Crusher have been doing the nasty for years, I know it's not Canon, and I don't pretend otherwise. Why should it be so with other fictional characters we know and love?
In your imagination, anything can happen. And this is a very good thing. But if it's not what the author imagined, don't force your ideas on his creation. Okay? :)
Well, that was fun now, wasn't it. *grins*

Meh i dunno how to defend old Picard in Next Gen...i just love him up to his shiny bald head.
Also, while im here - What are good Tori songs to get?

Date: 2003-11-24 02:46 pm (UTC)Well of course I fancied Mulder. Especially in glasses, eating sunflower seeds. Mmmmmmm.
But Pendrell was just so CUTE! I adored his puppy dog eyes and unrequited love for Scully.
Picard is too honourable. That's why he never spent his free time shagging Beverly. ;-)
Oooooh Tori! Well, let's see. I'll try to give examples of the different styles of songs she does.
Precious Things
Silent All These Years
Etienne
Professional Widow
Raspberry Swirl
Bells for Her
Yes, Anastasia
Virginia
A Sorta Fairytale
Carbon
Fire on the Side
Cloud on my Tongue
...That should be good for now. :)
