RPS pondering.
Jan. 5th, 2006 10:02 pmFunny moment of the evening, watching my aunt shave my godfather's chest for his surgery tomorrow and seeing him wince and fidget as if he were being tortured. Cozy moment of the evening, cooking a Chinese meal together waiting for The Mom to come back from work. Slashy moment of the evening, well, when I'll starting reading the fics over at
oz_magi :-)
Confession time: when I first heard about Nip/Tuck, I thought it was a pairing as opposed to a show. Thing is, well, sure the names kinda sounded odd but what do I know about American names, right? Also, when I saw the very first mentions of House, I thought it was a new reality tv show where people built houses. Which is the reason why I didn't get what the fuss was about but once again, I was all, hey why not? Because, seriously, hey why not. And in case you're wondering what the hell I'm rambling about, this little confession was brought to you after a discussion about how no matter how many years in fandom land you've been, your newbie status never completely disappears and you can still make silly mistakes.
Also, I was thinking of doing the Guilty Pleasure meme but I always have a problem with those because though I do have a lot of pleasure doing a lot of things, I'm rarely felling guilt about them. Like, reading/writing incest should be - well, maybe - a guilty pleasure except no, it's absolutely not. It is awfully pleasurable though *nods* I guess chocolate is a guilty pleasure because as a woman in the kind of society we live in, we're supposed to feel guilty each time we do something that omg could put weight on our bodies but dude, chocolate is so good that society's expectations can go fuck themselves! *fumes*
Wait, where was I? Oh yeah, the guilty pleasure meme is damn hard to do, thanks.
No wait! Maybe reading certain RPS might be a guilty pleasure... but not every pairing in RPS so I guess that's a bithypocritical odd. But maybe I'd feel a bit guilty about reading certain pairings yes - unless it's just because we're not used to reading them? I don't know.
Okay let's take the fandoms I'm in: so I read lotrips on a regular basis [David Wenham is LOVE] and I've also read Numb3rs RPS, Stargate RPS, as well as Supernatural RPS and I'm sure some others. Technically, the only RPS I've never read is TS - except for a crack!fic, it seems - and sometimes I wonder, would I feel comfortable reading one or not? And then I wonder why because, you know, as far as fanfic is concerned? I can say I have very few lines and should I have some, they're kinda blurred so I could miss them altogether.
Yeah anyway, I was just wondering, as you do every now and then...
ETA: Speaking of multi-fandom RPS, Pretty Lights went live.
