I'm a little baffled by my own response to this fandom, so I hear you. I still think you should write fic, however. What is parody in other fandoms is canon in this one.
I SAW THE PROMO!! I WANT THIS EPISODE RIGHT NOW OMG!!1!1!1!!
LOTS is this strange combination of absurdly over-the-top ridiculousness combined with some of the most gorgeous visuals on TV. Everything (and everyone) just looks SO BEAUTIFUL, it's almost all I can think about.
And hmmm, fic. I don't think I could approach it in a normal way, with plotting and outlines etc. It would have to be free-writing crazy stuff. Like...what if POWERFUL MAGIC turned the main characters into animals (each one different, reflecting their personalities) and they had to turn themselves back into people again before sunrise or else they would be stuck that way forever, but to do so they need to find the GILDED AMULET OF ANGURD, which normally takes the shape of a daisy but reveals its true nature under a full moon, except that Zedd -- having turned into a gopher -- has eaten it?

I KNOW! I was rewatching 2.10 the other day, and the pretty, it just BLOWS ME AWAY. The colours! The filters! The actors!

I woke up sometime in the middle of the night after a dream, of which I remember nothing other than that it was REALLY IMPORTANT that I get up and write something down. So this morning I go to my desk and look to see what it was: "Cara = panther. Richard = collie. Zedd = goat. Kahlan = unicorn." UNICORN. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
KAHLAN AS A UNIQUE AND PRECIOUS UNICORN, OMG. WHY HAVE YOU NOT WRITTEN THIS ALREADY? HELL, WHY IS THIS NOT A SEPARATE GENRE OF LOTS FIC (WITH THE OBLIGATORY MERLIN XOVER)?
LOTS is this strange combination of absurdly over-the-top ridiculousness combined with some of the most gorgeous visuals on TV. Everything (and everyone) just looks SO BEAUTIFUL, it's almost all I can think about. This. So much this. Usually I'm all about complex characters and/or morality issues and/or intricate plots. This show? The pretty. And the crack. But mostly the pretty.
Except even that isn't as cracky as canon! LOL. As I was reading and giggling over your summary, all I could think was, "I could so see that being an episode!" *grin*
Actually, I think my favorite thing about this show is the fandom. I watched the first season, but wasn't really into it at all. Then, after the season one finale aired, I decided to venture into the fandom and I was hooked. Everyone is wonderful and fun and accepting and a little crazy and I love it! I cannot believe how much I am enjoying this fandom, and thus the show.
I will be so incredibly sad if LotS gets canceled after this season.
The fandom is wonderful! Everyone seems so cheerful and good-natured, without ship wars or craziness. (Well, there *is* craziness, but it's the good kind!)
It's like LOTS is fandom's Shangri-la: you'd heard rumors that such a place might exist, but never believed it was real until you stumbled upon it!
AND DID YOU SEE THE PROMO DID YOU?
