Watch Me Be Unpopular!

[lizamanynames]

I am stuck at work, have exausted my f'list, don't quite feel like responding to comments, and my f'list dump file of random crap is at home.

So, I'm going to post here from scratch, a meme that was going around a long time ago, and I've decided to revive/do my own take on:

My Unpopular Fannish Opinions

Hey, I agree with quite a few of those (though I do like O'Neill except when he broke Sam's promise to the replicator guy) so they're not that unpopular. ;-)

Well, I tried. I'm not that good at being unpopular, it seems. ;)

I'm not sure that Rodney loves Sam, but he may grow to.

I point to Grace Under Pressure as evidence that it's a bit more than lust. Reguardless, the infatuation is certainly cannon, and all the McShep shippers who insist on making rodney flaming gay rub me the wrong way.

Vila is so much more interesting and sexy than Avon.

I've never found Avon all that sexy - or even that interesting a character.

He is not therefore a latent telepath.

...seriously, where do people get this stuff? I mean, WTF??

Any animal that encounters the crew would choose just about anyone ahead of Avon (and probably Dayna) as a target for their affection.

No, a cat's sense of perversity would lead it in a beeline straight to Avon - they love pestering the people who least want them.

Surviving crew after GP would be seriously pissed off with Avon; they would not rally round to console him for killing an unarmed friend and make healing his pain their primary goal.

Ow my head. This is why I don't read a lot of PGP's, except yours.

I do not see Avon/Blake. Avon/Cally is more likely.

I couldn't give a fig about either one.

Here's MY unpopular B7 opinion: I don't ship. Anybody. AT ALL. (Though I'll read some, if it's well done)

Agreed. I know he's infatuated and I'm intrigued as to what will happen when Sam joins the team (as I can see she will by the new season credits). I just wasn't sure it was love. As for John and Rodney, what the hell's wrong with friendship?

they love pestering the people who least want them.

They do, but they'd give their love to those who love them back, as my little guys do. :-)

I couldn't give a fig about either one.

And I've never written either one. I certainly don't ship Avon/Cally; I just said it was more likely than Avon/Blake.

I don't ship. Anybody. AT ALL.

I didn't either, but I admit I have paired Vila and Soolin in my big PGP. However, their relationship is a small part of the story, not its bloody raison d'etre. Also, Vila/Kerril is canon, but I have only one unwritten story where he finds her again and it's only at the very end: the rest of the story's about something else altogether. I just don't generally ship. I much prefer friendship and any pairing I have will not have any sex or shmoop unless it's behind closed doors and well away from my story. :-P

You don't get porn that way, is I think the thinking.

Sex and shmoop I'm fond of - in other fandoms. I just can't write either one for B7, nor fully wrap my head around them.
