Obligatory "Freaking Out" post (!)

[lirazel]

Am I freaking out with excitement over the announcement about Joss's new show?  Oh, yes.  I am.

First off, the name is fantastic.  I love the way, like with Firefly, he's picked one word with such powerful connotations (also, Ibsen, anyone?).  Second, considering that I've never seen Eliza Dushku as anyone but Faith, I'm excited to see if she can play someone else as compellingly.  Also, Tim Minear?  Great.

Wanna hear something pathetic?  I'm so ridiculously sad about the fact that I always come into fandoms late that I already registered at the forums at Dollverse and am plunging into this wholeheartedly.  Here's one I can be a part of from the beginning and not start loving and writing fic about during its last season or after it's gone off the air.  *coughfireflyveronicamarsgilmoregirlsbuffycough*

It really stinks that I don't have anyone in real life to squee with over this.  But y'all will do. ;)

I already can't wait.

I'll look for you at the forums, then (I'm Lirazel, by the way). Boards are fun. Just jump into the conversation when you have something to contribute. Or even when you don't.

Pioneering a fandom is something I've always wanted to do. Exactly!

Have you ever done that? Read old fic or your first fic? Considering that I first started writing fic when I was, let's see, fourteen, most of it is so horrifically bad that I can't even look at it without blushing. Horrifically, horrifically bad. It was only about two, two and a half years ago that it started getting bearable.

Heehee! I'm amused that you wrote House/Cameron for some reason. But House is a fun show.

1. Okay. Since it's driving you that crazy, let's go with LoVe? If that's okay?

And here's a couple of lyrics, if you want--both Patty Griffin because I've been listening to her pretty much nonstop lately and she's the queen of angst:

“We go straight for the thunder, straight for the rain
Love leaves a mark and, life leaves a strain
Back in the saddle, again and again”

-- “Crying Over,” Patty Griffin


“Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved
Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved
Let's take a walk on the bridge
Right over this mess
Don't need to tell me a thing, baby
We've already confessed
And I raised my voice to the air
And we were blessed
It's hard to give and it's hard to get
Everybody needs a little forgiveness.”

-- “Forgiveness,” Patty Griffin

Helpful at all?

2. The end of May, all of June, the beginning of July. Ish. It'll be eight weeks, but I don't have the exact dates yet.
