I had a dream with Nathan Fillion...

[tommygirl]

Tennis is ruining my tv viewing and it upsets me. It's not my fault that most of the good summer shows are on USA, so why am I being punished by having to endure tennis? Why?

And while I'm pondering important life questions - why do long weekends go so fast and why doesn't this time burst ever effect work weeks?

**

So I read one of the published Charmed books because it had Chris & Wyatt with Leo on the cover. And I'm a sucker for Chris & Wyatt fic, so I put it on my amazon list. And lordy, it was so very bad. I don't like the way the boys were written at all. I'm spoiled by the few good Charmed writers out there who give me a good Chris & Wyatt relationship. In this one, Chris was just weird, nothing like the Chris we got to know over season six.

Chris & Wyatt were my original brothers fighting supernatural things, my friends. I don't like them written badly. And when I actually find myself saying to iamtheenemy "I write a better Chris" than it's pretty bad.

The "Get a letter and think of 10 things you love" meme is going around and heidi8 gave me the letter "D." If you want a letter, just leave a comment.

1. Dean Winchester - that boy owns my heart. I love Sammy a whole helluva lot, but Dean has me wrapped around his finger. I hurt for him and want to shake sense into him. And I just love how much he loves his brother.

2. Dean/Sam - This might be cheating, but I don't care. I love Dean/Sam. I love how much they love each other and would do anything, rules be damned, for the other one. I love when they bicker. I love when they have each other's backs. And I would really love it if they HUGGED every once and awhile. Seriously, Kripke needs to let them hug. Even if it's under a hex or something. I want hugging.

3. Daughtry - Because I loved Chris on AI5, but it was probably a good thing he didn't win because he rocks and is doing much better by doing his own thing. I love the whole album.

4. Dead Like Me - Snarky grim reapers. Was there anything better? Stupid showtime had to go and cancel one of my favorite shows.

5. Dexter - I'm still so pissed that Michael wasn't nominated for an Emmy. That was bullshit because it's not easy to make an audience care, let alone come to love, a serial killer. And dude, it was funny and sad and just really smart. I can't wait for season two.

6. Drew Fuller - Chris Perry Halliwell! He is the reason I ended up not giving up Charmed after season five of crap...because he came in and I just loved him. There was a lot of wasted potential with his character, but I loved him. And I love him now on Army Wives too as Trevor.

7. Daily Show - Does this need to be explained? Just watch an episode and you'll understand.

8. Doors - I love the music. I've loved it since I was young and my older brother played it for me.

9. David Boreanez - Angel! And his dad is my local ABC weatherman! And he's from Philly! And really hot.

10. Dogma - Brilliant movie, especially coming at it from a Catholic. Plus, Kevin Smith just rocks.

That's too bad about the Charmed book -- I saw it and thought I might get my hands on it. So, completely not worth my time, eh?

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

If you want to read it, feel free to email me and I'll send you my copy. Because it isn't worth paying money for. At one point Chris compares the mess in the attic to a painter's work. It was just...weird.

[nam-jai.livejournal.com]

Just going through my overwhelming inbox back-up, and I realized I never responded to you. Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass. Not enough time these days to read bad books out of curiosity, and you've convinced me it's a bad one -- I'll trust you on that!

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's better just to find some fanfiction to read if you're looking for something featuring Leo and the adult boys.

[jooniper-pearl.livejournal.com]

Could you rec me some good Charmed? I'm terrified of bad fic, so that's one fandom I've steered clear of :)

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

If you go to polyfandomrecs, there is a Charmed tag and that should lead to all my Charmed recs. But are you looking for brothers halliwell fic or sister fic or pairings? Because I can rec you more, just let me know what you're looking for.

And if you ever find any, please send me the link. It's such a small fandom as far as decent writers go.

[jooniper-pearl.livejournal.com]

I'll go and look over there, but yeah, send me some brocest stuff too :) I'll try the sis fic as well.

ITA with DLM. Showtime sucks for all eternity for that one. o_O

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

seriously. It was just getting into the whole reaper world when it was cancelled. Le sigh.

9. David Boreanez - Angel! And his dad is my local ABC weatherman! And he's from Philly! And really hot.
I think I love ya more!

6. Drew Fuller - Chris Perry Halliwell! He is the reason I ended up not giving up Charmed after season five of crap...because he came in and I just loved him. There was a lot of wasted potential with his character, but I loved him. And I love him now on Army Wives too as Trevor.
He was sooo pretty to look at on Charmed and I love him on Army Wives. Him and Sterling were the reasons I started watching that show.

2. Dean/Sam - This might be cheating, but I don't care. I love Dean/Sam. I love how much they love each other and would do anything, rules be damned, for the other one. I love when they bicker. I love when they have each other's backs. And I would really love it if they HUGGED every once and awhile. Seriously, Kripke needs to let them hug. Even if it's under a hex or something. I want hugging.
yes, yes, yes, yes and YES!

Drew is totally the reason I checked out Army Wives. The show ended up sucking me in on its own, but Trevor/Roxy rule! (And I still think of him as Chris though...sorta like this could be Chris's future life if he gave up magic.)

[njborba.livejournal.com]

I think all of the Charmed books are pretty bad. I read several of the first ones and finally gave up on them.

Battlestar Galactica is another fandom with bad published tie-in books. At least so far. You start to wonder if the authors have ever seen an episode of the show.

Sorry for your bad experience (((hugs)))

::huggles::

Yeah, this is the first one I read because the Chris & Wyatt working with Leo sparked my interest...but jeebus. Not good stuff.

I hope the SPN one I have to read doesn't suck like this and goes more along the routes of the Roswell novelizations (not the original series) and are at least entertaining.

Can I have a letter?

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

You're letter is "P"

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!
