wook77Hi! I'm still rather giddy over the whole Star Trek thing. I highly doubt that's going away.
I cleaned up my flist some. Removed a few communities, defriended a couple of wanky h0rs and an entitlement h0r or three. All in all, I think the new alignment of the flist shall make me happier.
My evil plan has been discovered, by the way. Last year, I killed fests. This year, I've done my best to kill fandom. What those plucky girl detectives don't know is that next year, I attempt to kill the internet. It's all part of my plan to punish Al Gore for causing global warming :(.
I sort of accidentally overdrew my checking account. See, I forgot that I'd been responsible and paid all my bills early. So I hit the panic stage on Tuesday, paid them all AGAIN on Wednesday and overdrew my account. God, I'm a moron, sometimes. I need to remember when I've been responsible or I will never get to kill the internet.
I have these random thinkythoughts on how I ship a certain set of tropes, not so much the actual characters. Like - I love best friends that fall in love. I love snarky dialogue. I love interesting backgrounds. I love well-developed friendships that are so intimate that it's a struggle to make them more. Do you find yourself shipping tropes moreso than characters or is it just the characters?
Cause I've noticed that the H/D shippers on my flist gravitate towards the Kirk/Spock where there's still some sort of rivalry there. I like the Kirk/Spock, don't get me wrong, but god do I love the friends-into-more Kirk/McCoy (or McCoy/Kirk).
Also - when did fandom stop putting the "top" partner first? *shakes cane* You kids get off my lawn!

Date: 2009-06-01 12:09 am (UTC)Cough, it's traditional in Star Trek (aka all big Startrek mailing lists) to sort by rank. Only exception is O/K (Odo/Kira) in DS9, guess that's because K/O sounds so negative :)
Also, best friends falling in love makes me go all goooo and woozy and loveydovey. K/Mc has it all. (In TOS I also ship S/Mc but they have more this antagonists-get-together background and I didn't get enough NewUniverse S/Mc vibes.)
And happy to read you! *waves from the addict corner*

I've been enjoying your stories and can't wait to read more!
I agree with the S/Mc vibes. I didn't really see that much but IDK if it's just because they didn't have as many interactions as we were gifted with in TOS.
