Describe the fic you've been waiting to read in each of your fandoms.

[giddy_london]

Waiting as in something already written that I haven't yet read, or waiting as in someone in my fandom really ought to write X kind of fic because I would love to read it?

[jacqui_hw]

The second one. *g*

[giddy_london]

Okay, um. In Lotrips, I'd love it if someone would write an Orlibean 'real life' sort of AU thing. Like, a really long one. And one that doesn't make me want to cry with crap characterisation and cliches and things. I can't think that there's an HP fic I'd want to read that hasn't already been written. I think that's the good thing about HP fandom. If you can think of a pairing and plot, it's been done. All you have to do is find it.

Billy with whipped cream or Dom with chocolate sauce?

[giddy_london]

Mmmmm, Dom with chocolate sauce. I don't actually care for whipped cream. *g*

[silentdescant]

has Elijah always been your number 1 hobbit?

[giddy_london]

Shockingly, not always. You're really making me tell the story of How Gids Got Into Fandom here...

I started out completely enamored of Dominic, after having seen him in the LOTR films and the first episode of LOST. (This would be autumn of 2004). After that I sort of had a thing for Orlando and started reading fic, mostly crap het fic. The first ever LOTR-related fic I read was Dom het, and I've yet to be able to find it again, sadly. Anyway, by February of 2005 I had a thing for Orlish and started my LJ, and then got into reading Lotrips, mostly Monaboyd. From there I started writing, and then I sort of branched out to Domlijah after my Elijah crush really kicked in around April-ish of 2005. Since then, though, yes, Lijhers has been my favourite and my pretend boyfriend. Also, I've REALLY branched out as far as Lotrips pairings I'll read. *g*

[waqaychay]

what sex scene from a fic would you kill to watch in real life?

[giddy_london]

Am I allowed to be selfish and say that there are a few bits of painted_whiskey I'd love to watch in RL? Because it's totally true. And there are quite a few bits of inclineoftrees that I'd love to see as well. And in a perverted way, any of the Woodcest I've read. Hee. *greedy*

[waqaychay]

you can certainly do that! i'd like to see some of those, myself. ;)

I bet there's a pairing in one of your fandoms you like but wish you didn't for whatever reason, because doesn't everybody have one or more of those? Tell me what's yours. :)

[giddy_london]

Actually, there isn't. I pretty much like what I like and don't care whether anyone else would approve. I wish I hadn't liked the two Viggorli fics I recently read because I NEVER read that pairing, but I did. Mostly, though, I can't read that pairing without wanting to sick up because of cliches and bad characterisation, etc. Honestly, I'll try nearly anything once, and if it's well-written, I have no problem saying I liked it.

[phemie]

Good for you. :)
My main beef with the pairings I go for nowadays is that nobody else goes for them, so I've got nothing to read and I kinda wish I didn't like them. :P
