Crabby old lady...

Fandom shift time again. I see folks are slowly strolling away to the Brand New Thing. Sadly, once again, I'm not very much into the new thing, new thing being the Avengers. The only pairing I'm interested in there is Phil/Steve, and I don't even like Steve. *sigh* Oh well, say lavee. Kay Sarah Sarah.

Also, Dear SpN fandom, more Sam and Dean, a wee smidge less J2, more thinky future fic and a tad less BDSM porn. In conclusion, all you damn kids, get the hell off my lawn.*throws cats*

I think I belong squarely on your lawn, my dear :)

Although... didn't you write J2 for Big Bang this year?

[bradygirl_12]

*laughs* Yep, Steve/Tony and the Avengers crew are my shiny new bauble but I haven't given up on DC! Are you planning on signing up for the smallvillebbang this year? :)

Ahahaha! *smishes my old Snuggles*

Welp, if it makes you feel any better, I'm a lurker in every fandom but about four, so no fear for me jumping ship! I'm also stuck in the Four Brothers fandom for life because it really clicks with me, and in that fandom (if one can even use that word for how small the number of "members" is and the generally awful standard of the writing produced), it's all Mary Sue sister fics! I kid you not! I feel obligated to write, if only to show there's more FB stories out there to be written! Not every one has to have Jack and a tough girl with a ridiculous name oh-so-slowly getting it on. *sigh*

Ahem.

(So, final time, and then I'll drop it forever: Steve/Tony is awesome if you'd just give it a chance, I swear! It really is the Avengers equivalent of Clex (or maybe Clark/Bruce would be more apt). Is it that you don't like Cap or just dislike Evans-as-Cap? Because if it's a case of the latter, there's always the Substitution Method of reading that character in fic. That's what I do with several characters in various fandoms--just plug in my happy version of them, and pretend that's the one the author was writing. Also, as a personal confession, of the four pre-Avengers films (Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America), Cap's film is IMHO the best in terms of story, characterization, and style. It's my favorite of the four, anyway, if my opinion counts. *shrugs* Okay: wheedling ended!)

I hear you on the J2 thing too. If I stumble upon a plot that sounds interesting enough, I'll click and try it, but I don't ever go looking for J2 fics. SpN proper though--that, I seek out like the determined weirdo I am!

*hug?*

Hey, put those cats down! Though they should land on their feet ok.

I remember when everyone was bailing from SV to SPN and that Stargate show. It gets lonely. Right now, Glee fans are heading for every exit in sight (including me). Fandoms just won't stand still at all.

Me, I ship Destiel, and I don't even watch the show! They look great in gif sets at Tumblr. ;)

You tell them. You tell them all! m :)

I'm reading Steve/Tony like a crazy person, but I feel no need at all to write a story. The pairing doesn't lend itself to hooker!fic or Slave!fic, and that seems to be my first toe-dip into writing any new fandom, whether I post it or not. :)

Instead, I'm writing fic for a movie that came out two years ago. There may be something wrong with me. The Losers are eating my brain. 41,000 words so far in the last 6 weeks or so of writing. I'm definitely not complaining.

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

I saw the movie and loved it, but I have no plans to write fic.

It might make you smile that the other day, I said to my friend out of sheer fandom osmosis, "Tuesday! Pig in a Poke!" I blame hils.

The mental image of you flinging cats at people is hilarious, by the way.

[bt-kady.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. It's frustrating to see so many people navigate to Avengers fandom when I haven't seen the movie and am in no rush to do so. I want the SPN/J2 people to stay here, with me, and give me more fic to read! Am I asking too much?

I guess so.

I'm all for more Sam/Dean, and lots more J2. Other pairings, not so much.

[day221b.livejournal.com]

ROTFLMAO! You almost killed me there!

[tabaqui]

Bweeeeeee!
Oh, my beloved Roxy.
*twirls you*

I must say i'm adoring the Avengers fic. Fandom Steve/Tony is awesome, Clint/Coulson, Natasha/Pepper, Thor/Jane. And Clint/Darcy *from the movie* and sometimes Bruce/Tony, and and and.....

Goodfic of almost any stripe sucks me in. I won't be writing - hell, i'm barely writing *anything* right now, it's so fucking annoying. But still - fic! Everywhere!!
*has glee*

[me-ya-ri.livejournal.com]

*hugs you and grins* I love you Roxy! Personally, I only see Tony/Bruce as a viable pairing. Currently I don't have any desire to write fic for the movie either, though it's fun reading other people's stuff. Besides, I'm firmly stuck in the wider DCU with my Robins and Batman and Clark.

Good luck getting your Sam/Dean Roxy! *more hugs*

[beeej.livejournal.com]

Appropriate icon is appropriate! :D

I will always ♥ you Roxy, no matter how far we wander in opposite directional fandoms.

[tasabian.livejournal.com]

Take heart, movie fandoms come & go...SPN seems fixed to stay around another five years or so. (What? Jared & Jensen need a reason to maintain their Vancouver love nest.)

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

My problem is that I find shiny new toys to play with and just add them to the pile of my old faves, I never give up on any. Though, I do get pickier about what fics I read.

Though, I could TOTALLY see the Tony/Bruce, Steve/Tony, Tony/Steve/Bruce, I have absolutely NO desire to read any of it. Maybe it's because I'm more comfy with my DC guys?

Those poor cats! Need an extra set of eyes to watch for PETA to start protesting your house? And did I see that right? You're complaining about SpN BDSM porn? You, who writes about handcuffs, dildos, plugs, whips and such? Tsk, tsk. Are we loosing you, Roxy, dear? *smooches* ♥

[cha.livejournal.com]

I SO love you.

I'm working on a Sam/Dean

[nomango.livejournal.com]

I may not say it often, but god I do love crabby you :) - actually, you as a whole! *licks*

[ash-carpenter.livejournal.com]

Okay, so...I haven't seen any Avengers fic at all. That must be what the cool kids are doing, and I got left in the corner eating my lunch alone...

I was nodding along at the more Dean/Sam and less J2 thing (although, honestly, I'd be much happier if there was NO J2 at all. I still don't hold with this RPS thing.)

So, I was about to help you fling your cats but then you suggested there be less BDSM porn! *double-takes* I mean, sure, we could do with less BAD BDSM porn, but really....?

*side-eyes you then drop-kicks your cats back into your house*

I wish I had a fandom to shift too ;)

[aurora-bee.livejournal.com]

Watch Shelock and write me some pron woman (yes I spelled that wrong, I'm in work).

Love you mom *Hugs*

[ferdalump.livejournal.com]

You bring me much amusement and joy. That is all.

*gives off stalkery old lady vibe by posting first comment on a months-old personalish post*

What if SPN is my shiny new toy as I wander away from other fandoms? What then??
