I am bored at work.

[lirazel]

And also, I am writing dark future-fic Spuffy! Heh. We'll see if anything comes of it.

For now, distract me:

Gakked from redsilverchains:

Give me a character from any fandom I know at least fairly well, and I will tell you:

A) My OTP
B) The runner up
C) The anti-ship
D) My unpopular fannish opinion on said character
E) One person he/she never fell in love with, and why

I feel like I've done this before long ago, but who cares? I have loads more fandoms now. Go wild!

What kind of a question is that? There's only ONE ANSWER, OBVIOUSLY.

A. Priya/Tony. THE DEFINITION OF CONQUERING LOVE, YO.

B. Priya/Topher. Meh. In a BFF kind of way. I can see Priya play WoW. And geeking out. It could happen.

C. Priya/Nolan. Obviously.

D. Are there any fandom opinions on her other than that she's adorable and that she and Victor/Tony BELONG TOGETHER? I was going to say, "She's more interesting than Caroline/Echo," but...everyone agrees on that one, don't they?

Okay: I'm not thrilled with the actual execution of the Priya/Tony relationship. Enver and Dichen are doing their best, but I don't feel like the writing's been as awesome as it was before when they were just teasing us with the idea of them.

So I write fic.

E. Boyd. Um. He's a crazy psychopath.

LOL! Well, _jems_ got to my first choice before me... *pouts*

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

That's what you get for slacking off...

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Hey! I was being all productive with the ficathon-y-ness. I have a life, you know! A diverse and multi-faceted internet life.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sometimes it must seem like I don't actually have a job....Or a life. Even though I do. Yeah.

I am super excited about the fic-a-thon (and you have the most AWESOME ICON for that! Kiki!Victor! Love!). I hope some really awesome stuff comes out of it!

[angearia.livejournal.com]

I'm absurdly grateful your job lets you be on LJ! More fun for me us!


All the prompts for the ficathon are making me get crazy excited! I just want every writer in the Buffyverse ever to participate -- is that too much to ask?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I am absurdly grateful, too. Especially because it's pretty boring otherwise.

There are some fantastic prompts, definitely. I'm going to write up a thoughtful and persuasive post to get my friends who love the Buffyverse but don't participate in the fandom (and there are a lot of talented ones who fall into that category) to consider participating. I feel like it's gen-ish enough, plus with the potential for crossovers....I'm hoping to be responsible for at least one or two signing up.

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! Je t'adore for your future persuasive efforts!

Btw - I just got news TYSK was nom'd for Best Gen and Best Original Plot at No Rest for the Wicked Awards. Oh, and my Season 8 is an Epic Fairytale Meta, too. Yay! Nom nom noms!

(Is it sad that I've resigned myself to being nominated but never winning?)

ETA: I edit too much!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

YAY! I'm so pleased! And I totally agree about the originality of its plot. I feel about TYSK the way I feel about snickfic"s "Seraph." I want it to win everything ever and everyone to love it as much as I do. And I loved your meta!

Weirdly enough, I just got a message saying that Infinitas, etc. (I can't even spell the name of my own fic!) got nominated for Best Het, and I was very surprised!

(How about I make my own awards and give them all to you? Will that make you feel better? But no: I think you totally have a chance at winning. And you deserve to.)

Should I mention that I'm writing my first real meta?

Hey, I edit all the time. It's a thing. I understand

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Aw, you keep me going! I totally wrote some TYSK last night and I'm planning on writing more once I detach from the internet and stop thinking up iPad jokes. :D

Lauren!meta! Oooooo! Share! What's it about? *sits on edge of seat*

(It's a sound plan and perfectly timed because I'm starting up a Lirazel awards site where people get to vote for their favorite fics by you and only you. And then we talk about why we love it so much. snickfic is co-modding with me.)

I just feel bad when I edit like 3x in a row.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Oh, Jezebel. You bring such joy to my life.

Well, I don't know that it'll be any good. It's about why I overidentify with Spike, so that when I mention that he's the only character I really identify with, I'll have somewhere to point people when they react like I'm crazy.

See, and my site will be all conflicted. Because it'll basically be your fics and snickfic's. It's an "All TYSK and Seraph, all the time" site. And HOW WILL PEOPLE CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO? I do not know.

Oh, I'm always madly editing. It happens.

I'm not thrilled with the actual execution of the Priya/Tony relationship.

You're not the only one, actually. I've found myself completely apathetic to them since they put them together, and I know why too. The concept of two dolls falling in love was FASCINATING, but now there's zero ambiguity or complexity in the dynamic because it's taken for granted that they're the OTP, you know? I understand that there are serious time limitations, which explains why other dynamics on the show (*cough*Topher/Whiskey*cough*) have also fallen to the wayside; but it's like what we were talking about in that other thread - I wanted to see more of how Tony/Priya work *as a couple*, besides their fact that their connection conquers everything. Ah well.

/ramble.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I wanted to see them get to know each other--really. Like, yeah, we love each other--but do they not even question that? That would pretty much blow my mind, that I'm in love with this person I can't remember. I think they should be struggling a bit. I mean, I guess Joss thinks so, too, since they aren't "together" in Epitaph One, but I need more showing, less telling.

I guess I'll just have to write loads of fic....

[ohwaluvusbab.livejournal.com]

we love each other--but do they not even question that?

This. It's all a bit too neat for a show like Dollhouse, in which all the relationships are interestingly contorted and intrinsically doomed. I guess that Tony/Priya are supposed to be the beacons of hope though... And, yeah, their dynamic in E1 has definitely been the most interesting for me.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I just found this comment that I never responded to, and now I'm glad I waited! Because they got loads more interesting in E2, didn't they? SOME ACTUAL CONFLICT! YAY!

[ohwaluvusbab.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I was considerably happy about that. Their relationship at the end was a lot more real to me at the end there.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Yes. And it added loads more layers for me to explore! I am pleased.
