SN: My Fandom icons

As it turns out, I didn't make the ones I talked about, but I did make others. They're for sharing, so if you want one, feel free to nab one.

( My Fandom... )

ETA: I'm up way too late, but Witchblade just came on. I've never seen this series before, but the guy who plays Gabriel? Doesn't he play Matt on Nip/Tuck? (If he doesn't, that's a freaky resemblance.)

(no subject)

Oh, god. *groans*

Look at the time!

This is all deadspiders fault. She pointed out a good angsty Dan/casey fic, Dancing on Glass, and I just had to check it out quickly. There's five sections to it! And I haven't even finished the thrid section. (And, damnit if I don't secretly want to stay up all night just to find out what happen!)

Well... I'm just going to read until the end of this chapter, and then go to bed for... an hour and a half. Yikes.

ETA: Just finished Chpt 3. I wanna squeal, and I wanna cry, and I *need* to know what happens, but first.... bed. Sleep.

(no subject)

I'm at work. Also, I don't feel too bad. (In a display of genius, I turned off the early alarm and got 2.5 hours sleep.)

Now, to concentrate on actually getting something, y'know, done.

*sobs*

Inside my head there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth happening.

It's a WIP! A WIP! Dancing on Glass is a heart-rending, emotionally involving WIP! I just want to jump and down, just stamp my foot in impatience, because, *damn* I want to know what happens. If you're going to write a fic with wonderful characterisation, with such an involving storyline, something so entrancing that I find myself reading it as much as possible, that I find myself sitting outside and *talking* to the print-outs in my hand*, I think you really should finish it.

So. Damn. Good.

*sigh*

(I'm a little amused that I know there's three SN hospital WIPs floating around (ie. that feature someone visiting a loved one in hospital). There's this one that just *broke* my *heart* (and made me *enjoy* it); there's Celli's, which is floating around in the back of my mind; and there's mine, even though the longfic hasn't got anywhere near a hospital yet. People always say things happen in threes.)

*sigh again*

It's just... I don't get too emotionally involved in fics. Really, fics that have touched me like this? Wendi's last Mxy fic (SV AU), Lanning Cook's "Being an anchor" SN fic (yes, I love the Identical Series, but it didn't hit me with the same emotional impact), and... Jenn's "Handful of Dust" (otherwise known as The Fic That Scarred Me For Life *g*).

Off the top of my head, those are the fics that made me emotionally clench up with tension. There have probably been others in between, but I can't recall them right now. I don't invest that much, I don't cry over a lot of fics, and damnit if this one didn't get to me.

I'm starting to wonder if SN should be known as my Angst Fandom. Not that I don't occasionally read angst in other fandoms, not that I consciously search out for the SN angst, but... when I do read it, it really gets to me. I'm sure I've read more SV angst, but... man, the SN stuff *gets* to me. The boys are just such perfectly adorable woobies.

(*You know, that helpless pleading with the characters? "Oh, Danny. Oh, no, Danny, don't..." Interestingly enough, I do tend to do this when I get really involved in a show, too.

It's also oddly intriguing that Clark is my baby boy. Seriously, when I find myself talking to him, it's "Oh, baby boy, be careful." With Lex, it's "Ooh, Lex, don't" or "Have I mentioned how much I love you, Lex?"

If the characters ever speak back to me, I will be officially weirded out and leaving fandom.)

I'm an idiot.

You know, I just realised I made the icons last night, and *forgot* to upload them to my LJ user icons.

*hangs head in shame*

Drive by SN Rec: Danny fic

Just a quick rec for confessions of a former camp counselor by allcanadiangirl. I *really* liked this. It's a tiny little Dan piece, set during/after Celebrities, and it's hurt, bitter, and painful, but still... oddly fond, affectionate even amongst the recriminations. It's just a really nice blend of emotions, and it *feels* like Danny to me.

He said "it's okay to be pissed" and you weren't pissed, you weren't. Not at him, anyway. He didn't do anything, it's not his fault, it's yours, and then. "Danny, it's okay to be pissed." Fuck him. You know it's okay, and fuck that. If he wants you to be pissed, you sure as hell will not let him see how pissed he's making you.

Casey tells Jeremy not to worry about it, that there are no sides and everybody's with him, there for him. You don't say anything. Casey's stolen your lines, and it's annoying, even though you couldn't summon empathy for a starving child right now (this might be an exaggeration, spurred by an excess of time-outs and Weaver's Dark Amber). Casey doesn't know what it means to be there for somebody.

Have done no work this afternoon.

Have sent feedback for the WIP That Broke My Heart.

Is it wrong that I'm proud of myself?

*laughs* It's a pretty accurate representation of my fannish inclinations, all in all. My three biggest fandoms are SV, WW and SN, and SN is certainly the current flavour of the month. I always knew I was a Sam gal, but I think we've just had confirmation on which of the SN boys I like more. *g*

Mmmmm... Caaaaaaassseeeey...

Celli knows why...

*squees*

*grins*

*bounces like an insane, cheery, rubber ball*

ETA: I am, like, Spam Personified today. Sorry, y'all. Blame it on fannish enthusiasm and lack of sleep.

Personification!

Okay, this is all kikiduck's fault, for encouraging my sleep-deprived spammish ways.

In my last entry, I said I was Spam Personified, and she said "When I first looked at the tiny text, I thought it said Sam Personified." Well, I think that sounds pretty cool.

So, what I want you guys to do, is tell me which of your favourite/beloved characters you personify, and why.

I'm Sam Seaborn Personified: I tend to walk into walls, because I don't watch where I'm going.
