And lots of other questions...

[bau_inbox mods? *waves* Hi. Er. Please don't link to this. I'm just rambling...]

Good morning, lovelies. Possibly? I've spent two days pretty much doing nothing, watching Criminal Minds and trying to stay conscious. I'm still trying to get my head round the idea that I have to do stuff today. Seriously? Sheesh. That's overrated. How's everyone else? Good weekend planned?

Also, Criminal Minds fandom? Seriously, folks. Where's the Gen fic? There's fewer long Gen fics here than there is in SGA. There's fewer than Torchwood. What's with that? Where are the epics of any kind? Where are the plotty casefics? Where's the crack, the comedy, the character studies? Bring out your Gen! Bring out your Gen!

*puts hands on hips* Criminal Minds fandom, get your act together. Don't make me come in there and do it for you.

Ahem. *climbs off soapbox* I feel much better now, so am off to hoover the sheep and dust some cakes. Have a good day, all.

I do love Tony, and get quite upset when he's mistreated/underestimated in canon. I think the actor does a great job of showing the layers - the surface act of being sexist and a bit of an airhead coupled with the intelligence he tries to hide and some quite obvious pain - which fic-writers seem to often miss. I'm also a big fan of Abby, and Tony and Abby's friendship. So anything featuring her would be a bonus.

Oh dear, I'm being incredibly demanding, aren't I? You shouldn't have asked... Can I offer due South recs at all? As that's probably all I'm placed to rec at the moment... Or I could write you an SGA story as a thank you - I've already got a list of fics I'm writing for people over the next few months (it's a More Joy Day thing, and the promise is that I'll write a proper fic sometime before next More Joy Day, ie next January), so adding one more isn't a big deal ;)

Oh no worries! I'm happy to spread the NCIS love around.

I know exactly what you mean about Tony! Masks and layers. No one sees the real him. My internet's being spotty today, but I'll be back with more recs when I can!

Cm is a pretty bleak show, but it is interesting to watch, but i can't see anything fannish in it. So, haven't looked for any fanfic. Ack, and gen fic is just tough to find in general (no pun intended).

Hoover the sheep?????

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Ouch. I managed to get the housework done this morning and cooking this afternoon, so am feeling all virtuous and productive :D

How're the assignments going?

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

CM can be bleak, and the subject matter certainly is, but there's something about the way they show it - no black and white, but interesting shades of grey - that I really like and that gives me hope. There are no easy questions and answers, which is the other thing I like about it.

*g* I has a sheep! (http://jadesfire2808.livejournal.com/326516.html#cutid1). How else am I going to keep him clean ;D

[crystalshard.livejournal.com]

The assignments aren't going anywhere, because I'm being exceptionally lazy. I'm just going to have to work my socks off tomorrow.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

aw, the sheep is cute. a dust mite condo! ;)

Where's the Gen fic?

Ikr? There's hardly any around. That's not to say that some of the shippy fics aren't well written and entertaining, but gen always has, and always will be epic awesomesauce as far as I'm concerned.

Having said that though?
Don't make me come in there and do it for you.
*stomps foot* not doing it! So now you have to, muahahahah!

;D

[patch-tank.livejournal.com]

Oh, and hoovering the sheep? Great idea :)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

It's really surreal. I haven't had a chance to do too much delving yet, but I get the impression that most of the shippy stuff focusses on the relationship, rather than being character studies that happen to have a pairing (IYSWIM). I'm going to have to go through those as well once I'm done with the Gen.

Shouldn't take too long... *sigh*

Heh. Flattery will get everywhere. I'm 2,500 words through a fic I didn't know I was writing :D

[patch-tank.livejournal.com]

most of the shippy stuff focusses on the relationship, rather than being character studies that happen to have a pairing

Yep, what you said! That's the kind of fic I can get behind - stuff with a plot that just happens to involve a pairing (unless it's really OOC and has Hotch declaring his love for Reid in the middle of the bullpen, because, um, no). Other than that, non-canon ships just don't work that well for me in this fandom. Fics that have Garcia and Morgan being all flirty and snuggly are fine, because that's somewhat canon (and let's face it, they're both really quite tasty).

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

You know, I really wish I could laugh and go 'yeah, right'. Sadly, I have a suspicion this fic exists...

I don't really mind shipping fic of any kind - doesn't float my boat, but that's what the scroll button's for - but I'd like to read a summary that's not all about two team members getting it together. *sigh*

Then again, I'm just a cranky old genficcer with an entitlement complex, so I'll just sit in the corner and mumble until I feel better ;D

[patch-tank.livejournal.com]

First things first: icon LOVE. That was pretty much the best scene ever, along with anything that features Garcia's cleavage (for more references to this immaturity, see the incredibly juvenile, but totally neccessary, macros on my journal).

Lol, it does indeed exist, and in many forms. If you're in a masochistic mood, go browsing at ff.net, you'll find hundreds of them! Or, alternatively, if you'd rather not make your eyes bleed, just take my word for it ;)

Agreed. I don't hate it, but it's not my favourite flavour of CM fic.

And entitlement complexes are the new black :)
