So, dodger_sister has gotten me hooked on So You Think You Can Dance. I'd be more ashamed except the dancers are really freaking good. So now we spend an hour, or so, on Thursdays trying to choose who we thought the best dancers were and then we spend a little over an hour on Fridays waving our hands in the air over who was sent home this week. It is quite entertaining, even when they do things like break up our favorite couples.
I've really picked up a lot of bad TV viewing habits here at FGC, what with this and Teen Mom I don't know how I'll be able to show my face in respectable company ever again. Oh, wait, what am I saying, I've written SPN fanfic. I left respectable behind a long way back. ;-)
Speaking of, I finally got my hands on the whole of Mumford & Sons 'Sigh No More' album. Oh my giddy aunt it is amazing. This album, this whole album, is what I wish season 6 of Supernatural had been. It's about recovery, surviving the bad times and rising above them. It's about hope and love and grace and standing with the people who love us and who we love.
It makes me so melancholy for what never was.
7 - Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character?
I don't think so. Well, at least, not a fic I've written myself. Wait, no, I take that back. My HP fics gave me a better understanding of and fondness for Hermione. She is only in a handful of scenes but she's always there, in the back of Ron's mind. I never quite liked Hermione when I read the books or watched the early movies, she was just too much. If we had been in school together she would have driven me crazy. But during the writing process I started to understand her better, to see how hard she worked just to hold everything together and how strong she could be when everything else was falling apart.
I don't think Hermione will ever be my all time favorite character but now I have a certain fondness for her that I didn't have before. After all, who can't love a character who gets that much shit done.
