Oy, aging

I was going to post about how while it's nice that everyone is happy about s11, it kind of irritates me too, but I read that post and decided to delete it because I already complained about stuff in my last post and I thought, "roxy, do you want to gain a reputation as a crabby old bitch who only posts to complain about shit?" and I thought, again to myself, probably not. I would rather be known as the happy, carefree spirit that I am...is that laughing? Am I hearing laughing?

(busting out an old school icon for this--younger days, lol!)

Girl, I just didn't want to get into it with folks, you know me--low-key and cowardly. But yeah, LJ is for venting! Like you say, we gotta get it out someplace and this is way better than opening a window and screaming at random strangers. At least us here are more likely to understand.

And, um, pretty sure "happy" does not even come close to my emotions towards S11.... :)

Yes? No? Maybe?

It's a two-word phrase. One is "unwatchable." The other is unfit for polite company.

Some has to do with personal issues, but the two eps I did force myself to watch were mediocre at best, and what I've seen in recaps/reaction posts hasn't impressed me enough to make me even keep the ones I've Tivoed. (And I have *never* deleted SPN eps before they were available via DVD or Netflix before.) I even demoted the season pass.

There's a reason my alter ego is burying her head in the sand of a comfy little S2 AU. :)

So, you're not enjoying current seasons, but you still are inspired by the characters? Or do you separate the characters from the show completely, and are writing original characters with their names? I ask because in some ways I think I wrote my last few Smallville fics like that. Though I wasn't as turned off to the show as you are with SpN, it was close until the last season or two, when it seemed to take a deep breath to sprint towards the finish.

I'm still quite in love with the Winchesters. It's just that part of the magic for me was that the show was telling a story, and it's not doing that anymore. I know it sounds kind of weird, but to me, it feels like they're writing according to the feedback on their Twitter and Tumblr feeds rather than telling the story as it needs to be told. I'm a storyteller. That bugs me.

Plus I have certain rage issues right now and the cats are tired of being thrown at the TV. :)

I'm hoping that someday I'll be able to go back and watch, but until then, it's probably best for all of us if I just pretend 10.3 was the series finale.

I've got older bits and pieces still in progress, in addition to the Reynoldses (I swear the OTW sequel will get finished) but the season 10 Impalaverse story is finished, and right now, I don't see me writing anything set later.

As for originals, I got those out the wazoo, I don't need any more. :) Granted, there may be a superficial physical resemblance between two of the swamp vamps and a couple of codependent brothers...but that's a coincidence until somebody proves otherwise. *looks innocent*
