Ain't she sweet?

Miss Stackhouse, are you trying to seduce me?

So, kiddies, let’s talk Sookie. Let’s talk vampires, let’s talk werewolves, shapeshifters, Bon Temps, let’s talk telepathy, and let’s talk True Blood…

*SPOILERS ABOUND FOR FIRST SEASON OF THE SHOW, AND FIRST TWO-AND-A-HALF BOOKS…

( first, the Alan Ball version )

True Blood and I have a very odd relationship to say the least because I could honestly take or leave Sookie. I like Anna Paquin but there is something about Sookie and her superspecialness that rubs me the wrong way. The only time I do like her is again, when she is in the dynamic with Jason, Tara, Lafayette. As far as shipping goes, I don't care who she ends up with.

Frankly for me, it's all about the secondary characters. Love Pam sfm. Sam. Lafayette. Tara. Jason. Hell, even the cops. And I kind of blame Alan Ball for that because when Six Feet Under was on and it was pretty much ALL ABOUT NATE, I would rather watch episodes that didn't focus on him so much but rather on the family.

I'm getting a little distance from the tv show, because at this point, it's been almost two weeks since I've seen it (I know- AGES ago) and I'm getting more wrapped up in the books. Believe it or not, the tv characters are a whole lot softer than the book characters- at least Bill and Sookie are. Eric is harsher on tv, with less humor.

I can't believe I forgot to talk about Sam. What a cuddle bunch :)

I love when you're all fannish.

Soooooooo... have any interest in reading ~2000 words of fic for a fandom you know nothing about? LOL. I want someone to look at it, it's going to become this insanely complicated thing and I need to know how it reads before I get any further with it.

No worries if you don't have time, I won't take offense. :)

I love being all fannish. :)

And no problem, but Lost is on tonight and also, you know, some other little show you might not have heard of, with teenagers dancing around and singing. It's kind of stupid, not up your alley at all.

So I might not get to it until the wee hours or tomorrow morning.

No worries! I am full up on tv tonight anyway, between Idol and Glee and The Good Wife (the fandom the fic is for, btw). I'll try to give you an idea what I'm doing when I send it to you.

It... is structurally complicated, lol. I'm basically writing two stories and then merging them into one.

Which is my way of saying take your time, I completely understand.

I'm sorry- I'm rereading through my own journal (yes, I am that narcissistic), and...is that JOSH CHARLES in your icon kissing Carol Hathaway?
