I am a very recent convert to the wonders of tiny V. Mars. And I don't even read in the fandom, since Logan is enough of an angsty woobie that I don't want to see anyone hurt him anymore.
I read a lot in VM back when the show was new. Then over the hiatus between seasons 1 and 2 there was a dread influx of really enthusiastic, really BAD fic writers. Teenage angst out the wazoo, only not in the noirish way the show usually managed it.
Anyhow, yeah. Some good stuff. Lots of really bad shipfic. Little slash. It may have changed in a couple years.
Really, it's the first season I love best. I was throwing things and yelling at the TV. Good times.
I did the entire first season over a weekend back in Oct, and spent the whole time flailing about how awesome it was. No clue why I missed it the first time (I think it started the year I was taking 18 credits and working nearly full time and I just don't jump into a show in the middle).
Ah, enthusiastic newbie writers...it's sort of why I quit reading in Torchwood and new really got into Merlin. It's nice that they start somewhere? I just don't really want to read it when there is so much good stuff out here.
I love Logan in almost the same way I love Ray K and Dean Winchester. Secret angst. Protective sense of humor. Faking the whole tough guy thing. A type - I has one!
Yeah, that's how I did it, too. It's a show made to be mainlined. \s1/
Yeah, I can be a fic snob, and I just got tired of wading through all the crap in VM and House fandom just to find the odd bit of goodness. And now C6D has spoiled me forever.

Haters to the left, yo.
(I concede he got lamer as time went on, but the whole show did, okay?!)
