There was a dream that was Rome...

Sometimes, the GA fandom feels like it's a playground filled with squabbling elementary children.

See, the jungle gym is Mer/Der territory. It's in the heart of the playground so they like to think the whole world revolves around them. They sit up top and think, "Look at our kingdom! Isn't it beautiful?" Often, they forget to look down and remember

Well, since we're sharing . . . I thought the scene was awkward too; I was a little bit on the fence about shipping M/L at that stage (I'd adored their friendship chemistry and I loved them in fic, but I thought the writers did the pairing badly for the most part) and I hated the penis-breaking thing because I thought it diminished Mark. (So, now, maybe it's you wanting to remove me LOL!)

But despite that (and, honestly, it had the odd effect of making ship on-screen M/L ever so slightly more) people on TWoP saying that Lexie had an agenda, it was all about her wishes, and she was just forcing her attentions on him (and much, much worse, that I can't remember in detail, but know it was much harsher than what I just wrote) when all she had consciously done (because, yeah, we're all screwed up a little bit, and maybe some of that was under the surface, but still) was try to be kind to a man she liked and had hurt (physically and his ego) seemed attached, mean and a little bit over the top. And, honestly, I wonder if they would have stood a chance if she hadn't insisted on staying with him - because I think, without that, all his defense mechanisms would have come into play.

Okay, rambling now. That's not the point of this post, is it? LOL

See, I have nothing to compare the GA community with. But the comparison you make with Stargate and SVU sounds valid as far as I can judge. The M/L community is very new, though. I sometimes run into Mark/Addison fic by writers I don't know (or at least are new to me).

ETA: because it takes me two go's to make syntactic sense of a sentence!

HA! ME TOO! You're actually the first (M/L shipper) I've found that doesn't think it's adorable. You hated the penis-breaking though?! I LOL'D. Really hard! I'm pretty juvenile like that though XD

Oh yes, I read through the threads after the fact and same of the stuff they said had my jaw dropping. Are we watching the same show with the same characters, like really?

Rambling, ftw!

Well, I'm lurking Stargate fandom, and I was in SVU for only like 8 months. My knowledge isn't hardly extensive on the subject :/

LOL at your ETA! =D

You know, I've watched it subsequently (and written fic related to it!) and now I kind of find it funny (especially Owen and Callie, actually; and then there's the deleted Derek scene, of course) but at the time, I just cringed for Mark. Literally, almost behind the sofa stuff LOL. 'Cause, you know, he's Mark . . . do the writers remember S3 at all?!!
