...was the subject of today's best spam. For a moment, I thought it was one of you guys sending me pics of naked Ben Browder.
Lately, I haven't felt very...very what? That's the problem really, I don't feel like anything. I don't want to go out, I don't want to talk to people, I don't feel like I have anything to post about. Then it occured to me that I didnt have any actualy work in the last days, so now I'm sitting here, trying to work on a file, and, surprise! I feel like procrastinating posting.
Not that I have anything to post about, since I haven't been doing much. Well, I went out a lot, but my private life is so boring that I'ms ure no one wants to hear about it.
So, why don't I give you an update on my current fannish obsessions, and what I'm doing with them?
A trip through the unhealthy amount of fandoms![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
oceana_ is currently spending more or less time in:
Stargate
I love Jack and Daniel. There is a very special place inside my heart for them, and it strikes me at the oddest times.
Stopping at a red light? Oh, Jack loves Daniel!
Boiling water for tea in the morning? Ah, Jack loves Daniel.
Standing under the shower washing hair? Jack loves Daniel (and would give him a blow job now, if this shower wasn't so damn small, and how do two grown manage to have sex in a tiny shower stall anyway?
They make me happy. They make my heart glad. Thinking about them makes me smile and feel warm inside.
But apart from these regular visits to my J/D bubble, I have neglected them a bit lately. I enjoyed season 8, but the constant wank in the fandom has caused me to not feel like talking about it very much. I haven't rewatched any of the episodes yet and I'm not currently watching any of the old ones. (though i'm desperately waiting for the UK version of the season 7 box sets to be released.)
I don't read much J/D fic at the moment, at least nothing new. Area 52 update was the first update in ages that I missed, and I don't feel like catching up at the moment. I reread old fics that I have saved. At the moment, that it enough to satisfy me fannishly.
It's a bit like an old marriage: they are there, I love them, I can't live without them. But the urge to have them around me constantly has vanished.
CSI
The new episodes have reawoken my CSI love with a vengeance. I fell for this show so hard when I first watched it. I bought the DVD sets NEW, after having watched only one ep, something I never ever do, because they are so much cheaper at ebay.
I never regreted that decision. But after the fourth season, three were so many other things to, and CSI didn't seem interesting anymore.
Boy, was I wrong. I just need to actually watch it, and Insta-Addiction. Thats what a drug addict must feel like who had given up on his drugs, and then takes just " a little taste."
I would love to read more CSI fic, but the idea of having to look for it scares me, so I just watch the show and then I watch it again. I re-watched the entire season 4 during the last weeks. Considering what else I watched, this should really scare me.
And I bought the PC game, the first PC game I ever bought. Fun, but not enough to fascinate me. It is too slow for me, and it doesn't allow me to multi-task. I have problems concentrating, which is why I always do two things at once (and yes, I mean always. Except when I have sex. *thinks* Guess it is always then.)
When I played the game, i couldn't do anything else. But I got it cheap on ebay, so I'm just going to sell it again.
CSI Miami
Still absolutely in love with this show. The CSI season 1 box set is high up on my list of "Things I don't need but absolutely want and will buy when I manage to forget that Paris is going to totally ruin me financially".
I love Horatio. So far, I love season 3. What worries me a little bit is that the show has apparently turned me into a shipper. *gasp! Shock! Het!*
I fully acknowledge that Horatio loves Detective what's her name? Ah, Yelina Salas.
Hey, I never said I was a good shipper. And I'm certainly not a shipper in a way that I ever want to see them together onscreen, or read about them or anything. Okay, maybe the latter, but only if it's tragic and UST that will never, ever get resolved. Any recs for that kind of fic in my direction please. Nothing happy please.
The way Horatio looks at her? *sigh*
I love this show.
Due South
I haven't felt fannish towards Due South for a long time. I still love the show, and I still love the fic. I just don't read it anymore, except for the occasional short flashfiction piece and anything new by Spearanza.
I'm on no mail on all my lists. I still watch the show, but only one or two episodes very few weeks.
Harry Potter
It's hard to believe I was so desperately in love with HP a while ago. It is hard to believe I still am.
I get all excited when I think about the new book and the new movie, even if it could be years until we see any of them. I even plan to go to London for the premiere of the the next book. If I can find someone to go with me.
But that's it.
I don't read the fic anymore. I don't reread the books. I haven't even watched my "Chamber of Secrets" DVD yet.
the problem with HP is not that the fandom is so bitchy, because it is pretty easy to be fannish about the show without being in the fandom. It isn't even that it gets boring, though you'd think so given the amount of "Snape has to take Harry's virginity to protect him from the Death Eaters" stories, or the astonishing number of people who still write about the boring, spoiled brat that is Draco Malfoy, the only character who fails to show any depth or development in the whole book.
No, all this has never been a problem for me.
My problem with Harry Potter is that there is simply too much. So many amazing writers. So many absolutely wonderful fics. And the pairings! When I started reading HP slash, there were maybe ten or 15 readable Harry/Snape fics, and now?
And all the other pairings! Harry/Ron, Snape/Lockheart, Snape/Hagrid, Snape/Anyone! Twincest! Hermione fic! Hermione/Snape! Harry/Ron/Hermione! Femmeslash! HET! Yes, because even the het is good, and interesting, and Ginny! and Percy! And Ron as a death eater, and I want to read it all and then I want more and then i want to do it again.
See?
It's either no Harry Potter, or Harry Potter and nothing else. I'm afraid to get too close to this fandom, because it will eat me alive and never let me go again.
The Sentinel
Ah, Jim and Blair. How could I not love Jim and Blair anymore? I can't, I have to love them, and I do.
But see, the thing about Jim and Blair is that they are very constant in their pretty little microcosmos of loft, cars, police stations and bad guys. They don't change. YOu ca go back anytime, and they will still be there, cooking and teasing and touching each other way too much to even pretend that they are straight.
Watching Sentinel is like coming home, and so I bought the DVDs (totally illegal, but pretty), and I will probable take them to Paris with me. But for now, knowing that Jim and Blair exist and are happy and gay in their loft is enough for me.
I don't need to read slash or watch the show to remind me of their love.
X-Files
Heh, I bet some of you didn't even know that I am an XF-fan, seeing that I never talk about them here.
But yes, XF was my first big love, back when I didn't know about fandom or fanfic or slash. And if I had time, I would watch an episode at least once a week, because I still think that it is a wonderful show. Of course, I never made it past season 7, and I doubt I ever will, unless Santa brings me the episodes for christmas, which is rather unlikely, seeing that they are not even on my wish list.
My love for Mulder/Krycek was short and wild, but the urge to read about them vanishsed rather fast. Now, if I didn't have countless other fandoms to worry about, I'd like to read the good, gen fics, the ones that play with Mulder/Scully UST without ever crossing the boundaries between het and gen, and that ignore the weird conspiracy theories that I never understood, even though I watched every episode of the first seven seasons, most of them twice. But I don't want to read them urgently enough to actually look for them, and I know that if I ask, everyone will just rec that weird Mulder as a profiler fic y Amperage that I tried to read countless times, but never made it past the first few pages.
I may reread "China" sometime though. And "Ghosts".
Buffy/Angel
Another "dead" fandom. Dead for me, not for everyone else, I know.
I watched some Buffy season 1 episodes in the last week, and I still love the show. I am going to watch more, but I know that I'll never read BtVS fic again. Been there, done that, moved on.
Angel is a bit different. I am currently downloading eps, because I haven't seen season 3 and 4, and the end of season 5. I'll kill you if you spoil me.
but I am not watching them before I have them all, and then I'll have myself an Angel marathon, after which it is entirely possible that i'll start reading fic again. We'll see.
Did I mention that I'm going to see Christian Kane next week?
*smiles and bounces*
Hard Core Logo
I loved the movie. I never got around to reading the fic.
That is really all I can say about it. I guess I can't call myself a fan. *feels bad*
Andromeda
I am still watching, but half-heartedly. have reached season 3, and it sucks. My multi-tasking loves Andromeda, because I can watch an ep and read fanfic at the same time. I am determined to watch all the episodes just to see Dylan lose and suffer once. Please let him destroy the world and then live with his guilt or something like that. I love Dylan, I really do. I'd just love to see him lose for once.
Queer as Folk US
If I had time, I'd watch it all again. Except for the end of season 4, which was really really boring. I am not very excited about a seaosn 5 now, but I also know that once it is shown, I'll become addited again.
I never read much QaF fic, but I don't say now when something is recced to me and I have time.
Still love Brian and Justin. Still want Emmett to be with Drew. Stilll don't like Michael and would do Ben in a heartbeat.
I guess I'll have to continue this in part 2.
Lately, I haven't felt very...very what? That's the problem really, I don't feel like anything. I don't want to go out, I don't want to talk to people, I don't feel like I have anything to post about. Then it occured to me that I didnt have any actualy work in the last days, so now I'm sitting here, trying to work on a file, and, surprise! I feel like
