Hey now!

[roxy]

Dear CW RPSers, dear J2ers,

Please stop making Thomas out to be an asshole, or an idiot or a jerk or all three. Pick someone else to be the bad guy! Where is this characterization coming from, for crying out loud? Also, please explain why in AUs, Mikey is always bald? And border-line insane, or so stupid he can't find his ass with both hands and a map?

Ya'll stop now, or I'll have to write my own. Honestly.

sincerely,
Roxy, Miss Rose

A. Definitely, definitely write your own.
B. If you find any good ones, let me know--my friend rsadelle is getting into TW/MR via J2, and may end up in Smallville fandom that way, so I'm always looking for new stuff for her.

I'm really thinking about it...though lately thinking about writing just means plucking this ridiculous SpN fic I've been overworking. *g*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I'm coming to love J2 AUs as much as the SpN ones. It's amazing how many different backgrounds you shovel these guys into and make it fascinating.

Hey-hey-hwy!!! I'm trying to pout here!!

Heeeeeeee! :)

Are you trying to discourage or encourage people? lol

You know what I don't recall ever seeing... RPS with Eric Johnson. ;) *grins*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

oh geez, I don't know anyone you don't--tasabian, elandrialore, toomuchplor...off the top of my head. I don't know SpN folks well enough, but the only fic I kind of remember was Jensen was a business man and Thomas was his partner, and he was nice in this story. Helpful, no? *G*

Hrmmmmmm....
You *are* cute when you pout....
*pinches your cheeks*

:)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Omg, you're right--once--*once* did a fic mention him and it was SpN, I think...maybe by ladyjanelly? Hmmmm...now you is made me think\ hard....

THIS! AND WORDY MCWORD WORD!! TIMES A MILLION!
I am so mad almost every J2 fic has Tom either being a total jerk and beating up poor, widdle Jensen or he's the dumb clod that gets treated like crap or laughed at.

But a small part of me hopes they keep writing Tom like that so you'll write some wonderful, hawt RPS that has Tom getting the respect he deserves.

You can always overcompensate by having MR have a beard the length of ZZ Top. (or it could just be that they have a fetish for bald MR)

My favorites are often sports related despite the fact that I don't care about sports at all. I enjoyed "Into Your Hand" which is about bullriding and this really long baseball one. I also enjoyed a chess one.

Despite all the "Damn you, Kripke" motivators, Eric usually ends up being OK in fics.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I *loved* the baseball one! I *love* sports fic and *hate* sports in RL.

Tease. ;)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

The fics in which he beats up Jensen piss me off unbelievable. What the eff? They're like--*insulting*! Not to mention Jensen as punching bag. Sheesh. I've clicked away from stuff for that.

yeah--or maybe we can start a petition! Be Kind To Our Tommy. ;)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

shhhhhhhh! ;)

[miss-tress.livejournal.com]

The only kicking of Jensen's ass by Tom is done on the golf course! So shall I decree it, so shall it be!

*starts drafting up a list of names other than Tom for J2'ers to use when they need a bad boyfriend*

John, Evan, Tim, Robert, Peter, etc. See? Lots of other names out there for an OC.

If I'm considering it, then you should to :P

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Is that truly the characterisation?! Wow. J2 is a weirder fandom than I knew! (and I already knew some scary shit!)

REALLY? *IS HOPEFUL*

[tragicllyhip.livejournal.com]

Please do:) I know you're not writing SV anymore, which is fine, you've written a ton, but you know RPS would be fun. Why would anyone think Tommy is the bad guy? Everyone has nothing but glowing things to say about him.

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

As a CW RPS'r, I always make it my mission to stress that:

A) Michael is fun-loving but very, very intelligent, (hello people, he went college and he directs, acts, and writes?)

B) Tom is not Cher. Nor is he Diana Ross. He is a hard-working, intelligent man.

I hope that I've always had them come across that way. Some writers just overdo it on the looney thing with Michael. That, or they paint him as a complete SLUT, which I cannot stand.

Hmmm. I need to write a story soon, huh?

BTW Miss Roxy, I LOVE your background. It's hotter than a burning tree!!

If you're looking for GOOD RPS, there's a story called "You Keep Me High" and it's here: http://toomuchplor.livejournal.com/38082.html

Best. RPS. EVER!!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

oh god, yes, you guys with the SV background never make that mistake--it's the people with the SpN background who just jam Thomas or Mikey into whatever slot they need. Toomuchplor wrote some of the best RPS ever!

and yes--write a story to take the taste of those awful Mikes and Toms out of my brain! :)

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

I have several bunnies . . . I'll see which ones want to play! :D

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

Waaaahht?? Is this what SpN RPS is like???

WTF??

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

I concur, Tas! *nodnod*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

no, no, not all of it--I was just having a frustrating day with it. It just seemed that every CW rps fic I clicked on was being mean to Thomas.
