Come Close and Talk Fannish To Me

[redbrunja]

The way my schedule worked out this week (part chance, part because I worked on Saturday and had a family outing at too-fucking-early-o'clock on Sunday), I have today off, sans a few appointments.
 
So anybody in the mood to gab about fandom?

Things I have been into recently:

•Community (besides the ubiquitous Jeff/Annie, my interest is piqued in Abed/Annie, Abed/Britta, and Britta/Annie).

•The Vampire Diaries. I just rewatched the pilot last night and was filled with happiness and joy. And I remembered why I had the foolish belief back then when this show started that I could ship Good Girl/Good Vampire. Oh, to be so young and foolish.

•Harry Potter. I'm currently on the downhill slope of Goblet of Fire and Hermione is maintaining a high standard of awesome. (Also, I like Krum/Hermione more and more as time goes on. He was a famous Quiddich star! Who went for the brainy girl! Who tragically paid more attention to the Boy Who Lived and had a crush on her oblivious best friend! SPEND THE SUMMER IN BULGARIA, HERMIONE!)

•Anastasia! I rewatched that movie with my mom a couple of nights ago and it was a really good childhood flashback. (Mom: "Did they just blame the Russian revolution on magic? Did Dimitri and Anya just elope with no money?" Me: "I'm so glad you waited until I was older to nitpick like this. (But you're right, of course.)"

•*points to tag list* While some things I later end up disliking end up in my tag-system, that and my icons are a good way to see what things I at one point liked enough to believe I'd be talking about them more than once.

Say no more about TB, I haven't seen the latest episode!

But yeah, I kind of like Eric/Sookie as the not!Bill/Sookie, but at this point I'm like, 'meh, Sookie seems to want Bill, she seems to like the way he treats her, it's her life.'

I think one of the most beautiful scenes ever was when Belle went back to Beast. She really didn't care that he was a monster, and that was especially poignant to me -- both as a kid and now.

Agreed. Plus she was smart and liked books and stood up to him.... tangentially, several fanfics I know have dealt with Belle having to kind of fall in love with Beast again, now that he's a prince.

*wants reeeeally badly to discuss TB*

Really now? Fanfics for B&B? I went scouring through ff.net looking for some good ones. It was ... disappointing. Can you give links to this? I don't mind my childhood being corrupted.

Give me twenty-four hours. I want to finish watching last night's episode and then I'll be game for TB conversations. I'll put up a post as soon as I finish.

And check out the B&B fics listed here:

*waves* Sure, sure. Take your time. I just got caught up on Burn Notice (which we're talking about on another thread, I believe) so we can talk about that instead.

*rubs belly* Those were good fics. I enjoyed them very much.
