Rambling thoughts on metafandom, third options, and living on the fringe

Jul 03, 2008 20:53

Le sigh.

Before I get into the nitty-gritty, let me point out that I'm going to be using Fandom, capitalized, to denote the entirety of all fandoms (By your powers combined...), while fandom(s), not capitalized, denotes universe-specific corners of Fandom (i.e. HP, Star Wars, etc.).

Okay, fine. I've been reading a lot of back metafandom posts. A ( Read more... )

thinky thoughts, meta

On the two questions raised... kiku65 July 4 2008, 13:32:31 UTC

... I'll answer briefly, since I'm not sure about the upper limit of words in comments ^_^

1) "I'd like to know if the reader thinks I could have made things better, in whatever way (at least, that applies - I'm not throwing McShep in because, well, it doesn't fit that story, just for a for instance)."

Um. Hard to think of what, although a fuller explanation of why Lucius was on the planet in the first place would have been welcome. And why Todd was heading there. But that's purely out of interest - it doesn't affect the story at all.

2) "I also want to know if you agree/disagree with the premise, or like/dislike it, or just want to say "good job!" Or if there are other, more...appropriate (read: painful?) ways I could have dealt with Lucius Lavin."

It is a good job. Nothing better than seeing that malevolent clown husked by Todd :)

Although in the interest of pure justice an appropriate end would have been at the hands of the people he'd wronged - not that they would be able to match being eaten alive of course.

Eep! I wasn't actually, you know, begging for feedback on that story, I was just using it as an example in uh. demonstrating what I'm trying to do when I'm writing fic. Or something.

But yay!

1. I was actually planning on explaining why Lucius was on that planet, and why Todd went there, but in actually plotting it out, it would have turned into another epic, and I already have three in progress. I so don't need another one!

2. Malevolent clown! HAH! I love that description. Yeah, justice done by the people he harmed would have been...uh. just, but in this case it's probably a matter of A) convincing the people he'd wronged of the truth of what he actually did, and B) getting them to admit it. But this way, nobody has to.

(On a side note, I love that scene in Iron Man.)

Scene in Iron Man? O.o

Re: On the two questions raised... thefrogg July 4 2008, 17:53:03 UTC

There's a scene in the movie where Iron Man turns one of the bad guys over to the people he was victimizing.

::laughs:: Man, I wasn't expecting the extra feedback! Not that I'm ungrateful or anything.

1. So I'm not the only one who loves Todd-fic.::purrs:: I seem to have a thing for doing moment-event fic.::looks at fic list::

2. Wow. yes. I wasn't even thinking in these terms, but you're right on the money. Even more than that, Lucius was the 'town hero', and well...he got what he deserved, especially since he was posing.

It kind of reminded me of the old PSA eps in kids cartoons, you know, when the good guys and the bad guys team up against the drug runners, or whatnot.::laugh::
