The QAF Obsession -- Suki is a fickle bitca

[suki_blue]

I finally got around to buying the original UK Queer as Folk on DVD so I could throw out my videos which are sort of stretched and worn in certain places ~cough~. I am now totally obsessed with Vince. He really is one of the cutest guys I've ever clapped eyes on. Wierdly, when I originally watched the show, I liked Stuart and Nathan. Apparently my

I think you'd love the work for Ben/Michael of my friend foreverbm. Not all smoompy, but a lot of it is and she gets the canon voices exactly. It's kind of a rare for someone to write them, at least nowadays. Most write Brian/Justin.

[suki_blue]

Oooh, thanks, hon! I had a feeling Ben/Michael might be a harder pairing to find. Trust me to go for the more unpopular one, lol!

I shall scurry over to foreverbm right now!

I found this and this. No idea how helpful they'll be, but have fun, honey! I still love ya, even if you do wander from fandom from fandom with head-swivelling speed. LOL!

[suki_blue]

Yay, ta very much, sweetie!!

LOL, I can't seem to settle! It's the year of multi-fandomness!

I do wish I understood why so many people love Ianto so much, because I... (No, I won't go there ;-)

I've never watched QAF, and didn't even know there was a different US version...

But the real reason I commented was because I often find that re-watching something ends up with me fancying someone different. I think getting older does have something to do with it. I also find that if you love someone desperately, and then fall out of love with them (or forsake them for someone else), seeing them again can be quite painful.

OMG, Ianto is just so cute and handsome and cute and handsome and ... uh, cute. Hee! I luffs him :oD

QAF is brilliant. I adore the UK version so much. The US one is pretty good too.

Yeah, it's weird, isn't it, how our tastes change with time. I used to be utterly obsessed with Johnny Depp. For 14 years I thought about him every day. Then along came Xander and BOOM! the Johnny Depp love fled like a labrador running away from a bath.

You are so cute when you squee.

Grr! LJ just ate my loooong comment.

I'm totally obsessed with QaF US. I've seen the UK version as well but prefer the US version. I think most of it is because of the awesomenes that is Gale Harold. Totally obsessed with him.

No idea if/when seasons four and five are going to be published on region 2. Waiting for that myself too. Although, in my opinion the series went downhill during those seasons. Of course they do have their highlights as well but I prefer the first three seasons.

Some communities where you might find Michael/Ben fics could be qaf_sanctuary and queensoftarts. Then there's a community dedicated to only Brian/Justin fics, . Many good writers there.

[suki_blue]

LJ did that to me, too, earlier!

I need to re-watch the first two seasons now because I've forgotten so much about them, but season 3 rocked very hard. Are season 4 and 5 short seasons, too?

Thank you for the links, hon!

[piksa]

My pleasure!

Just noticed I messed up one of the community names. The last one was supposed to be bjfic

Yeah, fourth season has 14 eps and the fifth has 13 eps. A bit shorter than the first ones.

Hi,
just wanted to let you know that Season 4 and 5 are out on DVD in Germany (Region 2), both have english language and subtitles and I have seen them for under 20 € each (new) on the Amazon.de marketplace.
