catching up

So finally I spent how many hours watching all of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, and except for the unfortunate side effect of wanting to punch Sofia Vergara for that incessant commercial, it's so cute and well-done. I was pondering fic and then I realized I had put it into the same slightly awkward box in my brain I have for RPF, so WELL PLAYED SHOW.

Nikita is interesting. I'll confess this is the first time I've heard of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. One of my other lj friends is upset about the protagonist-centered morality on The Vampire Diaries recently.

Have you worked on that "too late" Sam AU lately?

the protagonist-centered morality
This is exactly the phrase I was looking for. It's becoming almost unbearable and makes me hate almost all the characters. From all the people that have to die just so Elena would feel better to Bonnie whining about a party being cancelled so noone dies during it like it happens every time - the way thy treat everyone outside their intermediate circle as completely expendable is repulsive. This kind of shit made me quit Supernatural and TVD is becoming even worse then that.

I got the term from TV Tropes Wiki.

Yeah, that bugged me about Supernatural too in later seasons, although it was instead the senseless deaths of Ellen and Jo that made me quit.

I just started to hate the Winchesters and want them to die. So many lives would be saved if they'd just died. I just couldn't get over it. I'm getting to the same place with TVD.

It's annoying how easily they come back to life now, but no one else can.

aw, LIzzie Bennet Diaries is a cute webseries, modernizing P&P across various media (esp YouTube, of course, but Twitter and such too).

I actually opened it over the weekend thinking I'd have time to work on it, but lol no. But I'm quite a magpie so don't, like, hold your breath. :)

Yeah, I've read about it on Wikipedia now. Sounds interesting.

Magpie? Doesn't that usually mean someone who collects things? Anyway, I kind of wish you'd just email me your rough scribblings so that I know something about it, 'cause the suspense is killing me.
