Anyone up for Some X-Men Squee?
I saw Days of Future Past a couple of weeks ago, and it has been stirring up Fannish Feelings in me for the first time in a while (I've now seen the movie twice). And also angsty Charles/Erik shippy feelings.
I've always really enjoyed the X-Men movies in the past, they just didn't hit me in the fannish place. But now -- I've gone back and watched all of the movies, and even some of the cartoons on YouTube (Evolution from the 00s is pretty crappy, but the 90s cartoon is not bad -- at least, it plays up the political dimensions of the series, which is one of my favourite things about it). I have been reading fic and contemplating writing it again.
I know all the cool kids are doing fandom on Tumblr these days, but Tumblr isn't really my thing (I'm such an old fart). So, does anyone want to talk about fannish X-Men stuff here?
