babel and randomalia both do something, resistance is futile.
The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it.
I don't think I've ever had a fandom do that to me. Baseball does this to me at least once a year, but it's more like a beloved, darling family member who makes me cry at every family reunion, at the long cruel wait until spring training, etc, etc, etc.
The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets.
Supernatural. It never developed into a real relationship, but oh God, we had some great times. There was this one night where we ended up by the side of the rural highway, right, and the stars were so close, you know?
The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized she really was fuckingcrazy full of the stupid and sucked like a crateful of supercharged Hoovers.
There. Fixed for Star Wars.
The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved she doesn't actually live in town.
Rome. Except I wish she lived in town. And that she loved me like I love her. And also, that she didn't drive me cross-eyed with irritation so much.
The steady.
Horatio Hornblower. We're buying a condo together. We have a fish tank. I got rid of my kidney-shaped couch because he was really attached to his couch, and he threw out his lava lamp because the color drove me crazy. This relationship will last, dammit.
The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with.
Battlestar Galactica, the new series. I have gotten into fandoms full-bore for much, much less than daddy issues packaged with a pretty WASP face and a military uniform. And yet, somehow, Lee Adama and his issues and me have never moved beyond eyefucking over the hors d'oeuvres tray.
The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't.
Doctor Who. I have issues with long-distance relationships (read: television canon. It's that whole commitment across time and emotional distance, I think. Give me books that I can consume at the rate of 200 pages/hour at my own pace.)
The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool chick except it's never really gone anywhere.
Bandom. Alas.
The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at her and thinking, "Her? how the hell did she land all these cool guys?"
Stargate Atlantis. Oh my God. How does a canon that stupid have so many intelligent, smart fans? No, don't answer that.
The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom he keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for him except you just know it's going to end badly.
Torchwood. Although I don't think it's so much the fandom that's going to breakbabel's heart because she's under no illusions about how much stupid there is among Torchwood fangirls, but oh God, JACK AND IANTO. IT CAN'T END WELL.
The one who gave you the best damned summer of your life and who you measure all other potential partners against.

imperius. Because when it was good, it was so good.
Bonus: So we already did every sexual act you can possibly imagine and then some, and our breakup sex was gave me crotch itch, but oh my God, we still keep on drunk booty-calling each other once or twice a year.
Who else? Harry Potter.

Date: 2007-09-23 01:40 pm (UTC)It was the stupdity, though, that was the dealbreaker for me. I can handle crazy (See Harry Potter), but I can't handle the stupidity of 100000 fics swallowing the same six or seven cliches about the Jedi Order.

Date: 2007-09-23 03:30 am (UTC)I'm just hoping for lots and lots of sex before that happens. And making out in the archives which leaves Ianto's tie all crooked.
Now I'm wondering if any pairing I've shipped has ever ended well -- and I can't think of any! Why, oh, why. I mean, I hate unrealistic, Disney-esque happy endings but surely one of them has to go the right way sometime.

Date: 2007-09-23 10:13 pm (UTC)The trouble is that I hold so hard to canon that I accept whatever happens, which sucks because some writers are on the bad drugs.

Date: 2007-09-23 06:50 pm (UTC)have you links to interviews or personal info, like a good fansite, now that his new wife forced IOL to shut down?
(and if I write this for you, you have to post what you did of the Lee-as-Cylon fic, deal?)

Date: 2007-09-23 08:25 pm (UTC)Seriously. I've only got a couple paragraphs squirreled away, but I swear, I would write you the whole damn fic for Ioan-as-a-Christian fic. And. Ioan on getting roped into a Christian-ish cult at 21, Ioan on his religious background, interview with a tiny bit about Ioan Gruffudd singing in Amazing Grace, which makes me think about a sixteen year old Ioan singing hymns in church. There are some more out there, but I can't find them right now.
Somewhere, there's an interview where he talks about how he manages to keep the Commandments/be a good Christian except for one respect. XD Oh, fornication.
