First off, thanks hon. You are kind and lovely to post this link and now I am quoted, lol. It's moi. Im the frigging Colleen Mcculloch of the Internetz. (Just joking, that's also in the book)
Okay, I love what you post here about not really being a true romantic at heart and really finding a ship in the M/S situation. YES. It's because their emotions are quite realistic - I mean, given that the storyline is unbelievable, WM and SWC are amazing with their ability to portray typical, human responses to crazy, atypical situations. You've really been accurate here.
I was in love with the show at the start of Season 2. I lived and breathed it, I couldn't get enough of it. You've highlighted everything I wanted it to be - it had become an obsession and the only way to 'alleviate' this (or feel closer) was to write fan fiction. I'm so thankful in that way because it has opened up a great LOVE for fanfic and has helped with writing.
And really, I have PB to thank for that, but I think it is mostly the element of M/S.
Thanks for this post. As I said in previous weeks, it is a fantastic resource within itself.
Being around in this fandom for a very long time I was always surprised by how many fans were usually not into romance and shipping. I am certainly not but I love their chemistry and the awkward but very strong connection they have. The same goes for hawt and happening guys in a TV show *points at self again* I don't crush a lot but when I do, I go for the angsty, non-pretty but very attractive pasty looking dude and as I said romance on TV or in movies is usually to corny or rolls-eyes material for me. There is of course a big group that was looking at them with rose coloured glasses (and I remember thinking that they were setting themselves up for disappointment because the romance will only be a tiny part of the show) so IMO they spoke to people on many levels.
I can imagine this must have been heaven for writers and I know you are frustrated with the show and some of the kick ass writers but the show also brought you inspiration, great friends and now your BOOK. I love the book Roos and I really hope you will continue to write. Thanks for letting me use the quotes. *hugs from a non romantic type of person from a very rainy and cols Moland*
