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

He's not an A-hole in all of them but yeah I notice the trend a bit. I notice that Milo from Heroes often gets cast in the baddie or rival role as well in the few that feature him.

(as an aside, I must confess I find it slightly amusing that a guy is being characterized as the EVOL instead of just the girls)

Chad as the douchey friend is a very common theme but it might be true as I don't know how he is.

In regards to J2, there's tons of AU you could get into.

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.

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.

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