TV Junkies R Us

[castalie]

I usually avoid Humor fics - which always baffles me a little cause outside of fanfics, I wouldn't ever let a Humor Whatever pass - but of course every rule has their exceptions and the Sentinel's Rules for Dating the Guide by Diana Williams is definitely one of them. Someone rec'ced it tonight and though I have it saved on my HD, I couldn't not follow the link and read it again. That fic never fails to put a smile on my face, it's both really funny and awfully sweet. I'm always having some difficulties picking my favourite rule but I think #4 is ahead in the votes anyway: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "Barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you. Of course, no need to say that Blair's own rules at the end are quite good themselves *g* Also for the record, I felt bad for Dating Guy #6 cause he seemed nice - having said that, my feeling bad for him stops where J/B begins, I don't think I actually need to spell it out? lol

Watched Nip/Tuck last night and boy did I cry at the end of the second episode, namely "Cara Fitzgerald". I do that a lot, cry in front of my TV though, so nothing exactly new here, but the paralleled stories were just so fucking sad that it was just too much for sensitive little me. And wow but that series isn't afraid of dealing with delicate subjects, is it? And when I say delicate, I might be thinking 'totally fucked-up', btw. Speaking of which, I couldn't believe what had happened with Matt and Henry. I mean... damn, this isn't supposed to happen to one of the main characters... he ran over someone! I couldn't believe it, seriously. Though okay, I saw Sean and Christian cut a body into pieces and feed aforementioned pieces to alligators... so, now that I think of it, I shouldn't have felt surprised that something like that happened, maybe? But still. I've been told that I actually didn't see anything as far as fucked-up goes with that series, and I'm almost afraid to see the rest. Are you kidding? I'm dying to see the rest, man!

Oh and I watched The 4400 and I really enjoyed it. How many episodes are there?

On an unrelated note - this week has been wonderful as far as mails go. Now, thanks to my sis, turps33, I'm in possession of Eeerie Queerie *pets yaoi lovingly* When I opened the big parcel and unwrapped the present I squeed like only a fangirl knows how, but damn, that was so the perfect gift *is in love with thoughtful and generous friends all over again* I was quite busy today but I still managed to start the first volume and to say I enjoyed what I read would be a nice understatement. It's as good as I hoped it would be. Cute, funny and moving, all at the same time. Perfect, gift, like I said *g* Thank you again, Terri - and see? This is me finally being coherent and everything lol Also, yami_tai, I don't care what you say, I'm still thanking you again too *sticks tongue*

And now, allow me to go in squeeing mode again because my Numb3rs 1x04 just finished *squee* I'm afraid I'm not going to sleep anytime soon. I have the feeling I may regret it later today tomorrow, but I don't care about being reasonable. I do care about the episode though, so there. And audrarose? Thanks again for the upload *kisses*

I LOVE that story.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It's a great story, isn't it? It's always a lovely read, no matter how many times I read it lol

Oh YES!

[kimberlyfdr.livejournal.com]

I remember Diana Williams' story and I just had to re-read it. Thanks for providing the link. Today's been a good day for re-reading well-loved stories:)

Re: Oh YES!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome. I was glad to re-read it myself, it was only fair that I shared the lovely fic with my flist *g*

[slb44.livejournal.com]

You won't believe where the Matt and Henry story line is going to go. Talk about fucked up. *beg*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Argh, I don't know if I want to know now, ie get spoiled silly or if I want to wait - going spoiler free is working just fine with Lost so maybe it could be fun with Nip/Tuck too - decision, decision. I just hope we're talking about either the next episodes or at least S1, here?

[slb44.livejournal.com]

I'm going to be a bitch and refuse to spoil you even if you ask because it's way to much fun reading about your reactions as you watch the eps. *beg*

The Matt and Henry show goes on for quite some time. It's a fairly long arc that leads to even more fucked upedness down the road and into season two. Just sit back and enjoy the ride, it's so worth it.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You're aware than I can just ask someone else on the flist or make a little search, right? lol TV tome is like a second home to me, and then there's the official site, I guess *g* I usually don't ask to be spoiled if I don't want to be, so if I do ask, I expect, well, to be spoiled silly, yes. You don't stand a chance at keeping me away from the spoilers if I choose to know *sticks tongue* But as it happens, I think I'll try to stay spoiler free for that series as well. Might be fun, indeed *g*

And the whole Matt & Henry thing actually turns into an arc? Interesting. I'll enjoy the ride, alright *eg*

[slb44.livejournal.com]

Yes, I aware you can easily get spoilers some place else but I'm merely suggesting you don't. Nip/Tuck is one of the few shows I remained unspoiled for and it makes a big difference.

And yes, the Matt and Henry thing turns into an arc that leads to the entire second season arc. Very complicated shit. *beg*

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

That was a great rec! I was laughing so hard it gave me the hiccups!

I'm so glad you talked about Nip/Tuck! I missed it once again, because I was too tired to wait up! *shakes head* I must remember to sleep more on Thursday nights. Or take a nap before Nip/Tuck.
But I didn't miss The 4400 and I liked it very much! The story is very intriguing!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It was, wasn't it? Glad you enjoyed it as well *g*

You must be cursed as far as this show is concerned, with the missing it all the time and all. But I'm afraid tiredness can't be helped sometimes, so you can't really fight against that, I'll concede *pets you*

And I was so not disappointed with The 4400. I've been waiting for that show to air here for a long time now, and it was as interesting and intriguing as I thought it would be *g*

[stacy-l.livejournal.com]

A Sentinel humor fic you say? How interesting. Sounds like what I'm in the mood for...something different and interesting all at the same time but let me ask one thing. Am I going to understand it or have to ask you a million and one questions about the show *g*

How have you been? I've been around but with this new shift change not the best at posting in my LJ or others for that matter. Must make a note to work on improving that : )

And...

Hope you like my story so far. I warned you it was lengthy and if there's anything you didn't like about it please feel free to tell me. I'd LOVE to know what you think of it.

Talk to you soon!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Man, your comment made me laugh cause talk about great minds thinking alike - I sent a mail telling you pretty much the same thing --except for the TS thing, obviously-- just this afternoon lol

Actually you'll find that I didn't talk about the fic cause suddenly I thought it was actually to be changed quite a lot, and I wondered whether I shouldn't just ask about the eventual changes before telling you what didn't work for me, ie either it's something you really like yourself, or it's something you already thought of changing, if it makes sense. And since it's quite a loooooooooong fic, I didn't want to, well, waste your time over something that was already either set in stone or already obsolete *g*

As for the TS fic, you may read it without real knowledge of the show. You just need to know that Jim is the Sentinel [ex-soldier too, btw] and Blair is the Guide, though technically the whole Guide thing is more fanon than anything else, and that Jim is in love with Blair... and vice versa, but I think you may have already guessed that lol

[stacy-l.livejournal.com]

You sent me an e-mail? I never recieved it or did you send it to my hotmail account? I'll have to check. If not could you resend. It never showed up in my yahoo account. : (

About the fic...

I'd LOVE to hear what you have to say about it. I wrote that story so long ago and perhaps you may have seen something that I didn't. Something that stalled the story for so long so feel free to send any comments you have my way! I'd greatly appreciate it!

Did you find the scene I typed recently? I think that's where you got the sense my mind was taking a different turn for the story. I really like that scene (the one I just wrote though it's evil and cruel and sadistic all at the same time). The one where evil!Jack helps Daniel out of bed before dropping him heartlessly to the floor. Even though the scene's a bit dark I do like it. I just don't know where the scene is urging me to go. My muse has something brewing I sense but what I have no idea.

As for the story being set in stone...

No it's not. In fact like I said it's been stalled for about four years and there's something about it I don't like but I can't figure out what. I think my writing style is one thing another is that I just... I love the stalking idea and some of those scenes I also love but other scenes feel a bit...off so I don't know. Anyway please feel free to send your comments and again thanks so much for taking the time to read that huge honkin' story! I really appreciate it! *hugs*

Also any suggestions would be great too! I had a heck of a time drawing a line between our Jack and the evil!Jack when I had first started writing it, which is probably the start of the stalling. Now as for the end of the story. I do want to keep that intact because I LOVE some of those final scenes in the hospital room but one more thing you may have noticed, which could also be a reason I'm finding this story so difficult to continue...

When I first started writing the story I was thinking strictly gen fic. I hadn't planned on writing any slash in it and then I started writing those last scenes in the hospital where Jack visits Daniel but can't face him due to what he knows. You know the last about twenty or so pages... Anyhow when I started writing those scenes my mind started turning towards slashy and now I think I want to rewrite the entire story but have our two men as lovers and that would make the betrayal of the evil!Jack so much more impacting...plus I could have a hell of a lot of fun with that too! You may have sensed that shift in gears too. I started out writing a gen fic but wound up desiring to make it a slash fic so some of it may seem a bit off.

Anyway thanks again for taking the time to read it and I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions etc on the story itself. Who knows maybe your insights are what I need to jump start my work on the story again. I've always desired to share my stories with someone else in their beginning stages. To get another person's input and such on what I've written and how it can be improved, how it is etc. I've never had that. Sure I have a beta reader. Who is great but she only corrects the errors and I love her to death for taking the time to beta read two of my biggest stories but I always desired to share my unproduced stories with another person. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to do that! It means a lot!

*HUGS!!*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

52% so far - and i have to go to a meeting now, so hopefully it will be done when I come back! *smootches computer*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It was really nice. We had some awfully cute scenes with the daddy and Charlie was... well, Charlie lol

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Also, yami_tai, I don't care what you say, I'm still thanking you again too *sticks tongue*

*kisses tongue* You are so sweet, but it's turps33 that deserves all the credit ^_~!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

*purrs*

And I said I didn't care about what you said *mulish* Besides, Terri got the Squeeing Thank You Mail from hell, so don't worry, I know my priorities lol

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

And I said I didn't care about what you said *mulish*

'Kay, okay, I give in *grins*!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You deserve a load of credit too!

I had no idea what I was doing and you helped so much, so have another thank you :D

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

You deserve a load of credit too!

*grins* Thank you... I'm glad I could help ^_~!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You're still more than welcome!

I'm just so happy that you liked it and the things are actually safe in your hands at last.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I read more of it, and it's really a lovely yaoi full of pretties all over. It's one those anime I love so much which has you smile or laugh or melt or want to cry in a same story - pure genius *g*
