More dragons!
I've now officially watched every episode of HTTYD and the TV spin-off that there is. Did not think I'd enjoy this series quite as much as I did, but that's the way it goes, I guess. I certainly never predicted that I'd love any of the fandoms that I ended up loving when I first picked them up.
Not that I'd say I'm in the HTTYD fandom. I've enjoyed the movies and the show, but I don't have any compulsion to create for it. I reckon it's a film thing. Then again, I wrote in CCS and TRC fandoms, so ... yeah, totally beats me. It's not that I don't love the story--Hiccup and Toothless's friendship in particular makes me teary-eyed most of the scenes. They're just so lovable. Hiccup/Astrid is cute, I guess, but the TV series did it in a kind of *meh* way. I mean, I knew they were going to end up together, but there was way too little set-up in the early episodes and then way too rushed in the final few. Is it too much to ask to have a proper long-term, consistent build up if you want to write in a romance plot? (I suppose this is what I mean by plots for TV series. It's just not all that well sustained over time.)
Anyway, it's probably too soon to say whether I will or won't write stuff. I'm taking a bit of a break now anyway after finishing off my big bang draft and editing it at the moment. I've done a bit of plotting and planning out some fic to be written in the future, but that's about it today as far as fannish stuff goes.
