Random fandom thoughts

For whatever reason, my fandom love at the moment is NCIS. (This is liable to change, even as soon as next week, but for now...) I don't know that many people who write Ziva-centric fic, though, and that was what I was in the mood to read. So, I went over to "the Pit" to see if I could find anything. After searching for Ziva as a main character ( Read more... )

Um. Why is fanon!Ziva such a frigging crybaby? And what the heck are "e3yes"? She has three eyes? Eyes with threes in them? What??

Oh, and the "The F.U.N. Song" video? GREAT GOOGLEY MOOGLEY. o_O

Seriously, I wish someone could explain it to me. Or, better yet, get people to stop! I mean, the woman can kill in eight thousand different ways, she took out her half brother, she diffuses bombs and faces torture without an ounce of visible fear, yet facing Tony turns her into a blithering, blubbering idiot?!?! *sigh*

And what the heck are "e3yes"? She has three eyes? Eyes with threes in them? What??
Okay, I might not like it, but I can understand if someone misses "breathe" vs. "breath" or some other such thing when writing/proofing a story; however, how do you miss blatant errors like "e3yes"? Don't these people have any respect for their work?

Oh, and the "The F.U.N. Song" video? GREAT GOOGLEY MOOGLEY. o_ONow, is that a good "GREAT GOOLEY MOOGLEY"? Or a bad "GREAT GOOGLEY MOOGLEY"? Because I sort of think that video is like crack (even more so than that Sawyer vid to the llama song, way back when) and I can't seem to tear my eyes away from it. Who knew that Spongebob ( ... )

There is some serious character assination going down in the NCIS fandom. I have no idea where this shit is coming from, but man does it need to stop.

Now, is that a good "GREAT GOOLEY MOOGLEY"? Or a bad "GREAT GOOGLEY MOOGLEY"?

It's mostly a "what the hell am I SEEING??" GGM, as well as a bit of a "THE GOGGLES!! THEY DO NOTHING!!" GGM. Although I guess you could say it's generally a good one. Sort of.

And, speaking of crack... you watch Battlestar Galactica, right?

Have you...NOT noticed the nonstop stream of BSG fic I've been posting over the past two months?? Lol. Oh, dear. Don't even get me started on BSG. That show has officially consumed my soul. Virtually everything I think of these days somehow relates back to BSG. EVERYTHING.

As much character assassination as there is in fanfic, at least there isn't too much character bashing in the NCIS fandom. I know that Mann gets beaten up on a lot (which I don't love, but at least she is a secondary character), but the regulars seem to be mostly okay. People in this fandom seem pretty willing to ignore characters they don't like, rather than trying to put them down. Considering what I've seen in other fandoms, I suppose I should be content with that. (I'm not, entirely, but at least it is something...)

Oh, well that is a fairly common first reaction. Watch it a couple hundred more times and it will insinuate itself into your brain. Really. That's a good thing. *evil laugh*

Have you...NOT noticed the nonstop stream of BSG fic I've been posting over the past two months??Honestly? Not really. I was mostly off LJ this summer, from about the end of May onwards. Plus, I'm sort of wary at looking at anything BSG related because I've already been spoiled ( ... )

That is one good thing. NCIS is apparantly blissfully free of shipping wars and deliberate character villinization. At least, that I've seen.

I don't think it's possible to watch BSG and not be an addict. Seriously, I mean...I've never heard anyone go "Oh yeah, that show, I watch it sometimes. It's okay." It's always "OMG, that show!!" or "Oh man, could you believe it when they did X??" or "I cried so hard when Y" or "I never would have seen Z coming!!" or "WHY THE HELL ARE WE WAITING UNTIL APRIL FOR NEW EPS AUUUUGH!!!"

Well. That last one might be me, specifically. My point is, it's a pretty consuming show. Of course, I may be more consumed than most.

Not to mention I have- *glances at icon* ...interesting tastes.

I haven't seen it on LJ either, and considering that I co-mod ncis_newsletter and compile it at least twice a week, I think I'd have at least seen a hint of it if it were out there. (I think that Kate and Tony (in the first couple of seasons at least) got put down on some message boards, but at least I haven't really seen it on LJ.)

Aww. I actually like Gaius with the longer hair. Of course, really, I'm just happy to see any picture of him looking clean these days, since he gets some serious scruff in S3 (trying not to spoil), and ew. Should not be hiding that pretty face.

At least I can remain fairly confident that my favving here has more to do with me than anything else: because Gaius has a lot of moments that make me want to scream and throw furniture, but my GOD is he a complicated, psychologically twisted, character, and thus I luff him. It's just how I roll.

But really, I love everyone on BSG. Except Cally. But I won't go into that. I hope you can catch up and fangirl with the rest of us in time! Hell, you've got until APRIL.
