Et in Italia reprise, from Pros-land

May 23, 2005 12:05

I am in the Land of Pros - London, of course. I've been offline for the past few days, because I was in Milton Keynes at Nattercon - a NBP (nothin' but Pros *g*) weekend, and it was beyond wonderful (more about the con next post, but right now I'm fighting post-con blues and want to write about something else). I've been here since Thursday ( Read more... )

fannish feelings, pros fic, london, fic preferences, endings, pros

I need to believe that somewhere, even if it's only fiction, there is a near-perfect love - where two people are willing to fight for each other against the world if need be.

Yes, exactly - I need to believe this. Perhaps it's odd, in light of laurashapiro's comment down below, but reading happy-ending fic doesn't make me feel bitter or disappointed with my own life for not living up. I don't really expect happily-ever-after for myself - but I need to believe it's out there somewhere, even if only in fiction, in fantasy. I don't know if it makes me a hopeless romantic or a wimp or someone who can't handle reality, but it's the way I am.

And I'm not a writer either - or even a vidder - but I am a reader, and I know when writing works for me and when it feels like the author has failed to achieve her goal. In fact, it seems to me that in some ways readers are more qualified to comment on the writing side.

Oh, and *where* did you get that icon - is that a screencap??? Positively, delightfully, indecent!!

(And I'll do the Nattercon report soon as I can ... need a little sleep first though! *g*)

abelladonna makes all my icons. This is one of my favorites. *g*

Is it from Pros, do you know??

Yes! Doyle, of course. *g* Bodie usually has those black pants on and it's harder to 'see'.

Oh yum!! Do you have any idea which ep? That is just deliciously, wonderfully obscene ....

I think, maybe, Not a Very Civil Civil Servant, but I could be wrong. I'm going to Media West after work, but when I get back, I'll look.

I'm thinking it might be Blind Run, though I could be wrong too ... I just recall that that ep has D in *obscenely* tight jeans - and these would qualify! *g*

Hope you had fun at Media West!
