I have no thinky thoughts or fannish thoughts about Due South, because I watched it as a child with my mother and sister and it was a family bonding show for us. I tried to re-watch it again a couple of years ago, but it is rather strange to watch your childhood shows as a grown up. But it is a happy making show, for sure. :)
I often feel like books, movies, tv, and other assorted media have the discussions I want to have better than most people; they discuss morality and existence and the difficulty of relationships between people. Finding a new one that you like is like meeting a life-long friend who will never, not once, recognize that you exist.
This is so true and beautifully put. Although, it is very sad in a way...
I'm bad at meeting people in any life situation at all (fannish or otherwise), so I can very much relate to your thoughts. Also, it's why I feel embarrassed to ask if I could add you here on DW? XD I really loved your previous post as well and all the interesting discussions there, but I felt reluctant to comment randomly because of the difficult topic.
Actually, last summer I re-watched BtVS/AtS and found your fics for the first time, and on ffnet of all places. It was very random, since I rarely go there at all. But your fics are beautiful, so it was worth it. I then later found you on LJ (through Kita, I think, she seems to know everyone...). I know that we don't share a fandom anymore, which is not surprising because I don't really have any current fandoms at all, but everything you write is so lovely and thoughtful, so I love reading your posts regardless of fandom. :)
