Pimp and ships

[lettered]

-Angel/Spike ficathon: grazieprego. It's been decided Buffyverse is retro enough to be cool again. Throw your hat in; it's going to be amazing. The awesomesauciest of writers are doing it! Except for you, you're not, so why are you still here? Even if you don't sail that ship, you're welcome to write their canon selves--there was enough subtext (sometimes text) there to canonball a ship, get it? Wait that metaphor does not make sense. It can involve other ships and people as long as there is Angel/Spike. Just do it; I love it.

-Speaking of ships and canon I don't understand myself. I really don't. I, in fact, stopped understanding myself the moment fodian began to show me pictures like this:

I seriously regard that as my downfall, because that was the first thing I was attracted to (uh, in a sexy way) something that didn't fall along what I'm usually attracted to. And then it turned into 'ships--Spike/Connor, of all things, and Angel/Connor, and there was that weird two months where I lived and breathed Angel/Spike. But then it REALLY went downhill because there was Draco/Harry, which I understand even less. And then out of left field there was Commissioner Gordon/Bruce Wayne, don't even ask. And now it's Godfather. No, seriously. WTF, brain? There are only even like 2 Godfather slashers on the whole planet (both of them rock, btw, and have awesome hot fic. hollycomb and igbc).

-On that note, I have meme: Ask me a fandom-related question, anything related to fandom, and I will try to answer. Ships, het, slash, wank, wars, posting, TV, books, movies, comics, fanon, canon, whatever.

-

I think "shipped in a serious way" means I have went out and searched for fic about them, or tried to write it. I tried to put them in the order I got interested in them, but sometimes the interest resurges again later. Best ships are like that. *nods*

Oh, I think a lot of us think that whisper was some variation on the theme you mention. My personal theory is that Baltar and Gaeta has something going on New Caprica before the Cylon takeover and Baltar broke his heart. Mostly because anything between them would be more important to Gaeta than to Baltar. Then Baltar *really* broke his heart by capitulating to the cylon occupiers.

Also, baltar_gaeta.

EEP. Cool. I join comm now.

YAY I'm so glad other people theorized about the whisper! It seemed like one of those things, where all the people who thought the ship was possible would've totally taken it in a shippy way and everyone would have written their own fic about what was said. But I never found anyone else who shipped them, or anyone to talk about it with.

Baltar and Gaeta has something going on New Caprica before the Cylon takeover and Baltar broke his heart

Sometimes I think that too. Mostly I think it was unrequited on Gaeta's side, but Baltar knew it, and used it to his advantage. Possibly even physically. But I think Gaeta really believed in Baltar, really really believed in him. I think he did from the beginning, more than almost anyone else. And then, yeah, with the Cylon occupation, that faith just crumbled. And that was one reason I loved so much Gaeta being the informant, because he was betraying someone he still loved, but that person he loved and betrayed him . . . OMG.

there's also gaeta_squee for those of us who just plain love him. Lots of discussion. They're having a little black dress challenge (as in Gaeta goes well with everythingone).

It is weirding me out how much you are in my brain.

Yayay I joined that too! Thanks for comms! It is fun to find another person obsessed with Gaeta! And such an awesome person, too ;o)
