I added you, mostly for your Crellie fics and icons. I'm still actively writing fiction for that couple. Most of my LJ friends are from my main fandom, The Office, so I wanted a few for Crellie, as they are the only one from Degrassi I actually enjoy.
If you want me to de-friend you, I will. No hard feelings!
Oh no, not at all! That wasn't the point of this post, ha. I really just want to comment with the people that added me but that i'm not really familiar with so that I CAN add them back haha.
So if you want I'll add you! Crellie is still an OTP of mine, but i'm not really active in the fandom anymore. Maybe that will change once the 4-parter airs though.. =)
I'm very excited about that. If you want to read some of my fiction, you can stop by my LL for a link to my stories. I have a few oneshots, a 10+ chapter story and one that's still WIP. At any rate, glad we finally connected! :D
I can't get into it either. I tried, but than I was like... who are these kids? heh. I guess I just always found myself as Ellie. I was her in school of the most part, sans the cutting.
And can't wait to hear what you have to say about my fiction. It should be good to get someone from the origin of their canon reading my stuff. :)
I identify a lot with Ellie too. More than any other girl on the show. And Craig always sort of reminded me of my first great love so their relationship was always my favorite on the show and always will be I imagine.
Yeah, the new kids just aren't doing it for me. And is it just me or do a lot of them look really...weird? Idk. I mean, I know the original cast had their awkward stages but they were in like Grades 7 and 8..not 9/10/11/12, like these new kids are. I guess we just got spoiled with a really attractive cast for 6-7 seasons...
I completely understand the Criag thing. My friends who watch the show call me and my boyfriend "Craig and Ellie". We were best friends and got together. He's a musician and I'm a nerd. So yeah, I love writing them.
Gosh, it's good to talk about these characters with someone else. I only have like two other people on my f-list that watch the show at all. :D
It's hard to find people in the Degassi fandom period who prefer Craig/Ellie over Cranny or CrAsh. I'll NEVER understand the fascination with either, but I guess that's understandable..since I can't relate to Manny or Ashley and don't like their characters. Well, I like Manny post-season 4, but whenever she was involved with Craig she irked me. I've never liked Ashley.
But Crellie was a huge ship for me for a really long time and I hate that i've fallen out of touch with them..but it's because of how they've been treated in canon that I couldn't help but lose interest. At least we are seeing some promising stuff for the 4-parter..but i'm not trying to get my hopes up too high. I'd rather have no expectations and be pleasantly surprised rather than get all excited only to be disappointed. =/
Exactly. I have no hopes for the 4 parter either. Truth be told, I have more fun just writing different scenarios for my own enjoyment, since they royally screwed the pooch with Crellie in mid-S6.
I liked Ashley and Manny, but I always perferred Ashley with Jimmy. I could never really see Manny with anyone. heh.
The only time I ever found Ashley tolerable was when she was with Jimmy. I actually shipped JimAsh for a while. But they ruined them in Season 7. Ashley has always been too dramatic/hypocritical for my liking, but when she was with Jimmy I didn't mind her as much.
For the longest time I was the same way with Manny. I could never find anyone I liked her with. Then someone mentioned that her and Jay might be cute and from then on i've been a major Janny shipper. Then a few months later they actually got together in canon and I was super excited. So for me, Manny fits with Jay. =)
Btw, i'm working on an Ellie EP fanmix. I've got a few songs I'm definitely using, but i'm still on the look out. Any suggestions?
I completely forgot about Manny and Jay. Well than, I'm a Janny fan. :)
And I'm writing an EPIC songfiction over at ff.net for Crellie, so if you want to use some of those songs, you can. But one of the finds that I think sum up Crellie so well is "Pills" by the Perishers. It's a female/male pairing and it's pretty much Crellie in a nutshell.
I'm also in the works wrtitng a collection of oneshots of Crellie featuring my fave band, Radiohead. At any rate, I'm excited for you to read my work and check out the song. I believe its on last.fm.
