Blogging in November: Day 3

What was your first fandom love(s)? Your first ship(s)?

In all honesty? Little House on the Prairie because I was like six. (Shut up, I was an early reader). Laura/Alonzo 4eva

Same here on Little House. I think I read Little House in the Big Woods when I was 5, but wasn't old enough to know there were more till a few years later. Loved Laura and Almanzo! By the time I was 7, I was quite fond of Jane/Mr Rochester.

I loved Anita Blake so much, I would get them in hardback. I can't remember which book was the nail in the coffin, but just stopped reading altogether.

I have a very vivid memory of being five, reading Little House in the Big Woods in the back of my mom's jazzercise class. I loved that series.

For me, I think the change in direction for the Anita Blake series in Narcissus in Chains was my turning point. A few books after that, things just started getting too complicated and I wasn't as interested in the way the stories were going. Oh well :(

>The only one I never could never let go of (mostly because I never wrote in this fandom) was girl!John Sheppard (SGA)/Spencer Reid. In my head it was awesome.

I want to read that now. There's a total dearth of good Spencer relationship fics. They're either really weird, awkward pairings or terrible Mary Sues.

It stemmed from my time thinking about girl!Sheppard (I wrote on that once) and drifted off into thinking that it would be really interesting to pair Spencer with an older woman who was kinda of quirky and a bit of a bad-ass and more importantly, someone who could save herself. And someone who sort of snuck in under Spencer's radar by being smart and interesting the first time they met.

I sort of always intended to write about that, but then the Maeve storyline happened and I've always been unable to divide so completely from canon on things like that.... but maybe I could make it work. That's what AUs are for, right?

(Actually I just want to write more girl!Sheppard)

Re: Anita Blake. I loved reading your Dawning Light but I think I stopped reading the actual books at book five, the point I knew after which everything would change in a way I wasn't happy with. :/

The sad thing about Anita Blake is that they used to be good supernatural mysteries until Hamilton got over her problem with writing sex, whatever it was. After that, it was like *everything* had to be sex or politics, and the mysteries were an afterthought. :(

So, you ARE still planning on working on Inevitable? I check once or twice a year, so it's good to see this in a recent blog.
