Want the pretty

Feb 28, 2006 00:58

So I was randomly skipping around through the forking zmillions of fanvids on my hard drive (I'm insane and there are folders within folders within folders) and I found myself watching some ridiculous Roswell vid that I'd clearly saved simply because it's just one yummy image of Jason Behr after another. I may not twist and contort his faux-alien ( Read more... )

the hot, wrongness, roswell, rps?, jason behr, kittyzams is a sap

Jason Behr/James Marsters
that's just wrong, i tell ya, WRONG!! *teehee*

The Roswell ladies on my flist are either laughing at me hysterically or covering their mouths with horror. *cackle*
you know us too well :-P

Jason and James? LMAO...His Holy Hotness has invaded your brain again, huh?

Didn't mean to miss your birthday, so even though it's belated, I hope it was wonderful.

*smooches*, sweetie

Thanks, Cherie! *smooch*

Hope everything's going as well as absolutely possible.

And yeah--JB/JM--it would be wrong, but very, very pretty.

femmenerd February 28 2006, 17:36:13 UTC

Yeah, but just think about how pretty it would be. And I think that JB would have been like 24 or something at the time and JM about 35. Now which one of them would have already been with a man? Because in my brain one initiates the other. Probably JM corrupts JB--because JB is a good boy for all of that smoking and stubble he acquired later.

I am so NOT going to write this.

I have to say I enjoyed "Roswell" mostly for the pretty because after S1 the show just seemed to be chock full of plot threads going in all directions that didn't hang together well. I doubt I would have watched a S3. But I'm curious too if there has been Spike/Ford fic, or even Spike/Max crossover stuff. I seem to think I read the latter once somewhere but it must have been a while ago.

femmenerd February 28 2006, 19:59:10 UTC

It's interesting but pretty much EVERYONE in Roswell fandom thinks the show "jumped the shark" after S1 or very early in S2. (BTW, there was a S3 but it was only like 18 eps or something.) And that's not just the zealous Max/Liz shippers, it's everyone. Consensus.

But in some ways, "failed" shows make for good fic too because if the premise is interesting but the execution is flawed then there's a lot of impetus. A lot of the "classic" Roswell fic is of the "fix it" or "rewrite it" variety. Most of it really. And there's hardly any post-finale fic since almost no one feels like accepting all of canon up until then.

I once read a Spike/Isabel crossover fic that didn't suck but I have no idea where I found it. If there is any crossover slash, it is most likely written by someone outside of Roswell fandom proper because it is a very strange fandom that is a) prodominantly made up of people who aren't involved in any other fandom or like, even know that Live Journal exists and b) in comparison far, far more prudish and dominated ( ... )

I'm a first episode of S3 shark jumper... well, really I'm a "what do you mean it wasn't all a mindwarp?" season 2 end but I don't know if that counts.

You're right I was probably being extreme but I have yet to meet someone who doesn't think it went off before or during S3. It just amazes me the passionate devotion of Roswell fans to the dream of something that almost everyone thinks got fucked up. And a lot of the most hardcore fans are the ones that with the strongest opinions about how it got fucked up.

You know, I recall a certain crossover fic that was going to happen... perhaps such a thing might count...

femmenerd March 1 2006, 02:47:56 UTC

Ack! I am so bad. And I really don't understand why the right Roswell/BtVS crossover just keeps not maturing into a fully functioning plot bunny. This summer when I am unemployed with nothing better to do than write fanfic, I will rewatch eps and force it to happen. Although if this counts...

lillianmorgan March 1 2006, 01:18:13 UTC

You should have asked for this before your birthday then someone might have written it for you ;) Timing is everything...
You know it doesn't have to be Season 2 - they could meet on the convention circuit and end up having a dirty weekend together... ::shields eyes from the RPS::

femmenerd March 1 2006, 02:46:02 UTC

Yeah, too bad I didn't think of it. Although as I noted in the comment below, this would require perhaps some "research" (if only watching that ep again for visual references).

I suppose they could meet on the convention circuit, like comic con? Although JB tends to be seen more at film festivals for all the indie movies he makes.

Oh brain is evil. Brain is evil. It occured to me that they could totally talk about SMG, especially since The Grudge/i>. Gah. No.

tasyfa March 1 2006, 02:36:34 UTC

Haven't seen it and ain't gonna write it, but dude, if you find some? Let me know! LOL! :D

femmenerd March 1 2006, 02:43:14 UTC

Gah! I don't really want to write it either--I just want it to exist. It has to. I mean, come one now.

For one thing, although always totally fictional, the best RPS has good references to RL and I just don't know enough about JM and JB's personal lives/timelines to do it right and I don't really plan to spend time doing "research."
