I spent the bulk of my useful time on Friday typing up my Veronica Mars fanfic which I've been writing by hand all week. 5000 words in and I'm getting to some case solving soon I swear. Is it odd that writing a fanfic is making me want to watch the show again... yet I know I really don't want to watch the end. I almost don't want it cancelled

As to the Veronica OPJ thing. I dunno... maybe JDoh just worked it better, but to me, in order to don the OPJ hat, you have to be funny, witty, and scathing. And, heh, move your hands around alot (it's totally a prerequisite to OPJdom now, to move your hands around alot ala' snarky Logan;) KB is just falling flat in that area. As far as just being a cold bitch goes, though... she's all over that. ;)

I'm definitely using S1 as my fic inspiration. I can't write to that caliber at all but I'd rather model my idea on that type of style than on whatever seems to be happening now.

Kristen Bell has great acting chops as well but I just think that somewhere along the line the writers have lost who Veronica was supposed to be and add to that that KB's ego got huge a la Sarah Michelle Gellar, and suddenly the character isn't what she used to be.

However, I think that a lot of young TV stars have people telling them how great they are, how they could be making more movies, being more famous etc etc and it goes to their heads. For the most part their hit show is as big as they're going to get.

And VM. Well. They killed Meg. And ever since then it just ain't been the same to this girl....... ;) (And speaking of that, you talking about your fic has made me write a wee bit more of mine. Fuck. I just want it done and edited so I can finally say: "Here. It's done. Meg isn't dead." ("And Duncan did it.")
I'm excited for your fic like woah.

And yes, fic tends to be written when shows start to suck. I want to just give all of the great stories I've seen for shows that are declining (COUGHwithoutatraceCOUGH) and say "look at how good you could make your show, just plagerize this okay?"
I'm glad you'll be reading my fic, the other two I've done are Firefly so you won't get them, this one you'll know :)
