Is it possible the exams are multiplying??? The grading!!! 'Tis AWFUL!!!!! Even more awful than usual, despite the fact that a) they're exams, so I don't have to comment, and b) my students are actually doing pretty well.

Coming up for air amidst the grading this weekend has involved a lovely brunch with grav_ity this morning. And Bones. With which I am ( Read more... )

Oh, this sounds great, then! Because yes, this is the kind of thing I'm enjoying about the show so far, but I haven't seen enough to know whether it's actually a longstanding way of being. Yay!

I have found fated_addiction's fic! And her penchant for writing post-eps and missing scenes (totally my favorite genre of fic!) is currently responsible for the fact that I seem to be watching the show backwards. Obviously it would be easy enough to find the beginning of her fic, chronologically, and then start watching the show forwards, reading her fic alongside, but that's somehow one step too many for my grading-addled brain!

There are some brainless TV candy shows for which I don't care about fic (Castle is one; the stuff I'm digging about that show is on the show itself, and I don't need more), but I do not think Bones will be one of them. Honestly, I find the plots of the episodes to be a bit ponderous--I don't really care about any of the forensic stuff, and while it has a much more favorable character : forensic stuff ratio than, say, CSI, I still find myself wandering away during the explanations of who got killed how, etc. And fic tends to have a more favorable character : forensic stuff ratio! Plus, it's all bite-sized, which I like--a 45 min. episode is a little long to fit into the middle of one's schedule throughout the day. A 15-min. fic, on the other hand, is perfect!

All of which is a ramble to say that yes, I'm digging fated_addiction's fic! ;)
