i'm a dirty girl, in a dirty world...
Jun. 24th, 2004 11:30 amSo my RL friends have been taking it upon themselves to continuously point out that I'm a dirty perv whenever I start to go into my squeefest that is associated with Harry Potter. They particularly have problems with my Draco/Harry fetish, especially a growing admiration of the cuteness that is Tom and Dan. Yes, I know. I'm way too old for them and I would never act on it. Can't a twentysomething girl simply admit that she thinks they're goodlooking and if only they were legal...How come guys can fawn over the Olsen Twins or Lindsey Lohan but my appreciation of the hotness Dan Radcliffe is becoming is wrong, wrong, wrong? I'm not planning to pull a Michael Jackson any time soon.
I think my friend is bitter that I point out the slashiness in every single show, book, etc that she enjoys. Apparently, she never saw the love between Dan and Casey on Sports Night or the wonders that are Josh/Sam on West Wing. I'm not even sure I'm not completely bruised from every time Remus/Sirius were on the screen in POA from when I would giggle and say, "It's so canon." This caused her to pummel me and deny. She's oblivious (however, when I pointed out that there are several people who choose to see Remus with Hermione, she quickly came around to the R/S lifestyle. heh) to those things.
So I wonder...has fandom brainwashed me into always looking for the slash? Or is it there? Because, c'mon, when I saw LOTR, without having been exposed to the fandom at all or knowing who most of the actors were, I found myself constantly saying, "Why don't the hobbits just enjoy a fun-filled orgy before separating?" So there are not only homoerotic undertones to some shows/movies/books, but actual tones.
And I don't do it with every fandom I enjoy. So does that mean that there are some that are slashier than others? Or that I favor certain ideal couples more so than others? Because Roswell fandom--none of the guy/guy stuff does it for me. It's a stretch for me to even leave canon for the Polar (Liz/Michael) and I wonder if that's because I love my Michael/Maria or because I can't picture the guys with one another or what?
Oh well. What can I do?

Is it wrong to really like the One Tree Hill piece I wrote the other day? It's one of my better pieces of recent and I'm a little depressed it was in the One Tree Hill fandom--but I guess, we are nothing but the muse's bitch. It's a well written, schmoopy piece. And there is no angst. My god, I don't recall the last time I didn't bring the angst to a piece.
Now, hopefully this good writing mojo will stick around since I looked at the calendar and realized that July 1st is around the corner (next week! Argh!) and I still have two more fic-a-thon pieces to finish and have beta'd. Dear Lord. Must get to work on that tonight.
Also, ended up giving into my piqued interest and have signed up for
musesfool Remus Remix. I already submitted my blurb--again, not the best thing I've written, but as anyone who's read "The Boyfriend Swap" can attest, most definitely not the worst in my long fanfiction career.
The writing list:
1) Finish the O.C. Ficathon Piece. I'm trying to channel my inner-Seth, but to no avail as of yet. So I won't let anyone see it until I've found my Seth, dammit.
2) Finish the Luke/Lorelai piece. Actually come up with an idea for it would be good.
3) Finish the hell chapter of TIMH before the next millenia. Because it's been a long time and this chapter is killing me and if I don't watch it, Steph
iamtheenemy has threatened to not only beta, but write her own version wherein Frankie dies and things miraculously work themselves out without any explanation. So now. Justin needs to be his dramatic self and suffer. Lotsa suffering has to occur.
4) Maybe type up and post the last of Whatever. Because it's been so long...now, I hope I can find the notebook where I wrote it. Since I've moved and it's probably in a box somewhere.

Okay, off to write. No more procrastinating for me. For real.
