We've probably all come across at least one show where we didn't like the ending, and also at least one where the ending was controversial in some way/disliked by a lot of people. In a similar vein, we've also all most likely come across a character who got a shit ending. An obvious one that comes to mind for me is Michael from Lost (Harold ( Read more... )

All fandoms have them; the widely acknowledged favourite characters/pairings, the characters who get lots of backstory focused on them where others seem to get little or nothing (Jack's tattoos, I'm looking at you!) It's come up in the news recently where Harold Perrineau talked about Lost being the Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Locke show to the ( Read more... )

I will completely understand if anyone chooses to skip this particular discussion, I'll be putting up another one soon I'm sure anyway as I want to get more in for Fannish 50 (which went a bit by the wayside during Evil Virus of Doom back in June and not properly picked up) so feel free to just come back to that one, whatever it may be ( Read more... )

So I got behind on fandom ramble discussion stuff, and fully intended to start back up again a few weeks ago, then the Evil Virus Of Doom struck and it didn't happen, but I got to thinking about this just now ( Read more... )

Something I've been realising as I've done the Lands of Magic challenge and was trying to make signature tags, although to be honest I've known this for a while, is that I have too many fandoms. I have as many icons as it's possible for me to have on Dreamwidth, and I'm still without representation in so many of my shows - just been eyeing up some ( Read more... )

So, I haven't done one of these for a while, so may do a few more over the next few days to catch up a bit. Blame Lands of Magic.

So, a lot of you may have a One True Pairing (OTP), but how many of you have a NoTP, a pairing you wouldn't ship in a million years?

The pairing I can't bring myself to ship is Alice/Ocean from Batwoman:

( Batwoman spoilers under the cut about exactly why I dislike Ocean )

So, here's my ramble for this week: When it comes to creating any form of fanart/fic, what, if any, are the lines you can't cross ( Read more... )

Okay, I was going to do a different Fannish 50 discussion first, but a combination of a few things (the Rare Pairs challenge at 1_million_words, plus the episode of The Winchesters where my favourite character Rowena appears and in one scene she addresses Ada by Rumple's catchphrase "dearie" prompted me to ramble about something else ( Read more... )

So something I'm probably going to do with Fannish 50 this time around is ramble on a bit in posts for discussion, and this one's going to be on the subject of happy endings. Those of you who write, do you feel that you have to give your characters a happy ending? If a more ambiguous or unhappy ending feels more realistic / works better for what ( Read more... )
