Hey! So, I have a multi-fandom poll! Take it!



[Poll #805135]

Haha! I am name checked in the poll. Therefore it is the bestest poll of ever!

Note that I checked every single one of the SPN answers except for the boys fucking their Dad, because there are lines in the sand, man.

You could check several?

I am so dumb.

Anywhoozle, of course SPN is all about the Faith/Dean, considering that what's I'm writing. ;-) It is also all about the Dean man!pain which is awesome mostly due to the surprisingly excellent comedic timing and dramatic oophm of Jensen Ackles. What's oophm? Um, it's basically bits where Jensen Ackles plays Dean Winchester doing the 'I am the snarky king of the road, no worries hurt me except for [insert most excellent pathos].'

I always rec Farscape as I am legally bound to do so. As a Farscape pimp, I always say these things: They have done everything TV has ever done and done it better most of the time. Also has one of the best TV couples ever</> and did I mention the leather pants?

Wow - I've got to get out more - this made me realize how little I know outside my own little fandom cubby. *makes notes* Welcome back, btw - just catching up on flist. Can't wait to catch up on fic as well.

With LOTR, you have to specify book fandom or movie fandom. Because if the latter, squealing fangirls and hobbit porn. If the former, people who write painstakingly researched gen and obssess over footnotes.

I recommended /The 4400 to you then realized that there probably isn't a fandom for this show, or if there is one, I haven't seen it. Oh well, it's an incredible show that no one on my flist talks about. Second only to Battlestar Galactica in our excitement level for new episodes. Ron and I have lengthy discussions on the motivation of certain characters, he's all "Evil, EEEEEVIL," about some of them and I'm "Well, maaaaybe, but you're probably right" and then we're in total agreement about what we'd like to see happen. FUN and complex story arcs.

random:

House is great completely because of Hugh Laurie. He actually broke a very ill teenage girl's finger in oner episode because he didn't like her! And you still don't completely hate the character. If you'd like to get caught on the show, I designed a poll which lists every major plot ever used on the show.

SPN is completely brainless. I enjoy its take on American myths and legends but there is nothing deep about the show. Two wobies run around killing monsters. It's Buffy minus the brillance. There is some good fic out there, although I read very little of it.


I read HP when a new book comes out and then I never think about it again. Except when the wank explodes.

LotR is a move/book about mythic archtypes. Which was completely appropriate for the story. But who wants to read about cardboard characters?

There are not enough naked rugby players.

I love being multifannish, but it does mean that sometimes things like HP are tempting . . . and that's never good because it's so huge and wanky and terrifying. All our base are belong to them, indeed.

Supernatural is crack, but I don't really think I would watch it without the fandom. I kind of like to watch the show and the fandom in conjunction with each other because I like watching the fannish response to it. With SPN, it's almost like fandom as a whole decided it would be the shiny new thing almost before it ever aired. I don't think I'll ever be really fannish about SPN in and of itself the way I've been about other things because it's not crazy-making for me on it's own.

And I have to rec Farscape, which is the other way around. I don't even really lurk in that fandom, but I have mad, crazy love for the show. It's an entirely different type of relationship to the source text when you're not constantly bombarded by fannish response and analysis. It's interesting. (So I guess it's not a fandom I'm reccing, really, so much as the show itself. Was that what you were asking?)

LMAO what in the world is up with your lj-cuts?!

Btw: Jack Sparrow/Norrington? OMG HOT.

I don't watch 'SPN', but I read a nc-17 Faith/Dean fic just 'cause of the sex. I'm bad.

House = AMAZING. I would pay to get spanked by that cane.

I have such never ending love for you that it hurts to type the words.

You have popped my name in a poll cherry and paid homage to my refusal to accept the reality that only 5 people on the planet will ever ready my Fed Whisperer fic and for that, I am slave to your communing vagina.

In gratitude I give you this: My favorite line that Angela will never say to Jack: "I thought we discussed this, Jack. No cock. Snatch. Say it with me, no cock..."

This poll rocked. But it's "couldn't care less."

And I'm glad you included the bit about femmenerd, because it's true.

[zibbycomix.livejournal.com]

That was a fun poll! I am afraid I am the only one who is rooting for the HP fandom though. =P Actually, I can understand why people think it's scary. But I love it because I am a part of it. =)
