Of SG:A and The O.C slash and Meme
Oct. 13th, 2004 10:41 pmI think I'm in one of those moods. The kind where you're reading a fic and you suddenly find yourself blinking at the screen because huh that's not a pairing you're supposed to read. So you squint and you're like, 'why am I reading Sheppard/McKay? I thought I was supposed to like Beckett/McKay best? And now that I think of it, I thought I wasn't even interested in SG:A slash anymore?' So whatever the pairing, you don't really understand why you're suddenly reading this fandom. And that's when your eyes narrow suspiciously at the fic in front of you, because damn... the story is actually kinda cool.
What the hell was that about?
And since I'm on the subject. The O.C aired last Saturday and since I wasn't home I couldn't really watch it, though what I saw didn't impress me that much... until Seth appeared and caught my attention. Because Seth? Seems like the kind of character I love in all his geeky and sweet glory. I'll give another try to the show this Saturday, but in the meantime I decided to try some fics. So I cruised
crack_van - because that's where you sometimes go rec shopping, right? But I'm afraid the stories I found were all fluffy and stuff. So could someone help me a bit? I mean, is there an archive somewhere at least? Or does someone have some angst/drama The O.C slash to rec me? Yeah I have issues, but I assume them all, I swear *bows*
On an unrelated note now, two little meme that I found cute, so there :
The LJ Meme :
Date you joined: 2003-06-06 05:49:52
Number of journal entries: 918
Number of people on your friends list: 122
Person who introduced you to LJ: Well technically, I heard about LJ via
turps33 who had an account before I did and whose journal I visited now and then, but it looked like an alien world to me and I'd never felt the urge to create my own --which sounds so cute when I think about it now lol I finally decided to take the plunge after
babycakesin joined LJ herself - without even telling me, btw, I had to discover her account by accident. And no, girl, I won't ever let you forget about it *sticks tongue* So yeah, my answer? Terri introduced me to LJ in general but Babycakes introduced me to LJ in a more personal way, so to speak. Oh and I got my invite code by Terri, too *g*
Still friends with this person: Are you kidding? Babycakes is one of my closest friends IRL and Terri is one of my closest friends ICL... and actually, in her case, it's more than just CL friend, so yeah, you could say that I'm still friend with those persons.
How many people have you introduced to LJ: Two :
katikat and
stacy_l. And I'm still congratulating myself, btw *g*
List everyone on your friends list who you have met in person: Eeeek I can actually answer that one too! So, since I've known
babycakesin for more than five years, therefore before going on board of LJ, I guess she doesn't count? Blimey! Well I can still play, anyway, see if I care. I met
alinewrites first, then
yami_tai and her now-husband-then-fiancé and finally
greedy_dancer. Aline twice actually *g* I plan on meeting more in the upcoming year though *determined look*
Anyone on LJ you can't stand: I read some people's LJ I couldn't stand yeah, but when it happens I certainly don't stay so I couldn't give names even if I wanted to, which I don't because what's the point? *blink*
Name one person on your friends list you would most like to meet: I'd really like to meet several people on my flist, but if I have to pick one name, it'll be
turps33 first because man, she's my sis, my fanfic soulmate, my everything - well... you know lol But then
katikat has been in my cyber life for a looooong time too, so she'd be high on the list as well and add to that the French Slashers Posse and.. yeah, well there're some other people I'd like to meet too *g*
Ever ban someone from commenting in your journal: Yes. Spammers who are both morons and homophobes aren't welcomed on my LJ. So I banned them *shrug* Well him to be exact.
Biggest pet peeve about LJ: Easy, users who don't use cut tags. This is my biggest pet peeve and since people keep on forgetting/not caring, I don't think it's going to stop anytime soon lol
Do you feel close to most of the people on your friends list: Close to most of my flist? No. But in case you're wondering, I do love my flist, that's beside the point *g*
How many journals on Live Journal do you have: This one, obviously. And I co-mod
sentinel_thurs. [ETA: Oooops, I also co-mod
kinky_spirit but I usually sorta forget about it, which sounds really bad I know, but I'll hunt for new kinky stories to have posted over there, promise. Like, when I'll have the time *cough* So hey, if you want to contribute? Be my guest *nod*]
And the Name meme :
Form of ALEXANDER - helper and defender of mankind
Name Origin: Greek
Number of Syllables: 3.00
Gender: Female
More interesting facts about the name :
Lucky Number: 7
Ruling Planet: Neptune
Element: Water
Primary Color: Violet
Traits: Frequently possesses E.S.P. Extremely "psychic"; Introvert. Although s/he does not say much, s/he usually knows a great deal. Mysterious. Often interested in psychology, psychiatry, chemistry, and botany. Knowledgeable in astrology and all fields of the occult. Fond of fishing. Inclined to take from the "haves" and give to the "have nots".
Yeah. Well. Those meme can't always be accurate though, right? lol But there're some elements that I like here, so I'll keep them anyway *g*
If you're bored and want to play, it's here
Also... do we have Lost tonight or not? Because I need to download it tomorrow, seriously! Please pretty please? Or will politics kill my episode this week? Note how I said 'we' even though I live in Europe, btw lol
And a last thing : Allez les Bleus!!! Gagnez-nous ce match, woohoo! Alors de deux choses l'une : ou vous marquez un autre but avant la fin, ou vous en marquez plus d'autre mais vous vous arrangez pour ne pas en prendre un parce que sinon? On est mal, les gars!!
ETA: Yes! Et de deux! Et ben voilà, c'est possible quand même lol
