Because I am insane...

[donutsweeper]

I have signed up for the bronze challenge at paliphrase  where you write in for the same prompt in ten different fandoms.  *eep*  I chose the prompt "pensive" because I can write deep, thinky stories... but ten fandoms?  What was I thinking?!?!?

Oh God, no! I hate the emo-whining. In mpregs and in general. No, the fic has to stay true to the characters, otherwise it's no fun. I'm not the best writer, but this (http://community.livejournal.com/shorikurai/13203.html) comes close to what I mean about mpreg. I'd rec you someone else's stuff, but I'm sure you've already read Becky's Never Doing That Again and the only other two good mpregs that would underline my point are from Supernatural which I think you don't watch?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Becky's is great. Oh, I've read yours before too, I just didn't remember it.

I watched Supernatural S1 but then gave up on it

[chatona.livejournal.com]

I love Supernatural a lot. Haven't watched it in quite some time 'cause there's just no way for me to get the episodes :( But I love the fandom (even though it makes me read and write incest, which, just... uhm, no. not my kind of thing. I ignore the fact that they're brothers a lot).

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I haven't delved into that fandom at all, and the 'wincest' is one of the reasons.

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that makes perfect sense :D As I said, I'm mainly ignoring that they're brothers and pretending they're not when I'm reading fanfiction. 'm good at that. Pretending, I mean. But Sam is very pretty. I couldn't resist him.

and Dean is sexy as hell too. Jensen Ackles. *sigh* Although he was cuter in Dark Angel. Have you watched much Dark Angel?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

He's hot as hell. I'm more of a Jared Padalecki fan, though. And the two of them have completely converted me to liking RPS.

I watched... the first few episodes. And then they changed the stupid law and now I'm not downloading stuff anymore 'cause of that law and, uhm. So I haven't actually watched any of season two (or even the end of season one) and Alec only appears in S2, doesn't he? *tilts head*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

He's in one episode of S1. But not as Alec. As one of the X-5s that escaped. he was introduced as Alec in S2.

I'm glad you've seen the beginning of the series since the Logan/Jack story I'm writing is set during the first episode- so you'll know enough to be able to read it.

Ah, but I'm good at reading fanfiction at all times. I mean. I've been reading Lindsey McDonald fanfiction the last few days without ever having watched a single episode of Angel. Looked up what I need to understand on wikipedia and the rest came together after the first few stories *bounces*
.. Only works when one's not spoiler-phobic, though. Which I'm definitely not.
Hell. I only started watching NCIS because I like Tony in fanfiction. There's fandoms I'm in where I haven't ever seen a single episode of the actual show. It works out, somehow *shrugs*

I'm definitely looking forward to reading your Logan/Jack story *beams*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I could read fanfic without having watched the show at all. Although, I have to admit, I like "House" fanfic better than the show, but I have seen a bunch of episodes.

[chatona.livejournal.com]

I can and I have and I will - and I like it. It does take a character to catch my eye, but once that's done? It's easy. Like, I started reading Lindsey fiction 'cause I like Chris Kane so much and I talked to unfeathered and she told me a few of the pictures I'd made icons from where actually from the show, Angel, and that sort of triggered it. And I started reading NCIS fiction 'cause one girl, luthien82 asked for Tony icons - I'd never heard of Tony at that point - and I looked him up and thought he was pretty and ended up reading fiction and that convinced me to watch the show. I really do that a lot. I think it's mainly because, hell. I can't just turn on the TV and watch a show and decide if I like it or not. I have to go out of my way to be able to watch any show at all (since I refuse to watch German TV, but it's not my fault that it's just so ridiculously bad, is it?), so it's much easier to read fanfiction first *waves hand around vaguely* If that makes sense?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it makes perfect sense to me! :) Although if the first few fics you read were ooc that might lead to problems

[chatona.livejournal.com]

well, yeah. but usually, fiction that is ooc tends to be of rather... poor quality. so it's not too hard to avoid those.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

true.

Hey- would you be up for taking a look at my logan/jack if I emailed it to you?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Wheee, of course! As long as you don't expect in-depth comments or an actual beta. But an overlook and squee and an overall comment? I'm so there :D Have my e-mail or want it again?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

a general overlook is all I need. It's winging its way to you now. thanks!

*bounces happily* *wanders off to read*
