Random Ramblings: The ‘it’s time to slim down apparently’ edition, but...

Random Ramblings: The ‘it’s time to slim down apparently’ edition, but crap there’s a couple of really great new shows this season, so maybe not.

Bandom: I think I’m done with bandom. I’ll tinker away and finish Jericho (which is multimedia, not just bandom) mostly for myself, and most likely the girl!Frankie universe, but for anything else I’m pretty much done. I don’t believe I had anything else in progress, at least no one’s harassing me for more of anything so…

I’m still reading a little, mostly My Chem with a little Pete Wentz and Ryan Ross (though no one appears to be writing him) in there to mix things up. But the current incarnation of Panic! doesn’t interest me (anyone who knows me, or reads this LJ knows I was with Panic for Ryan) and I think after this length of time that it’s not going to suddenly sink its claws into me. I think this is a long time coming, personally. Most of the authors that I liked, that wrote pairings that I would read have moved on (either to other pairings or fandoms) and I’ll keep an eye on my favorite authors, of course, some of them still have WiP’s that I’m waiting on updates for or have been talking about things that might theoretically be coming in the future but I’m pretty sure that I won’t be hunting out anything new.

Supernatural: I’m mostly sure that I’m done with this show, in fact I think that’s pretty definite, I’m DVRing it but I haven’t watched an episode yet this season. I stayed last season for Misha and because Jensen is pretty. But Misha’s gone and Jensen being pretty is not enough to keep me watching the show when I don’t really understand (or even like) the characters anymore.

Ringer: This is the first show in a long time that I’ve wanted to write for which is saying something. I’ve got the third story of ‘Version, Update’ in progress. And I’m completely shipping Bridget/Andrew (a het pairing, who would have thought?), I don’t know if that’s who I’m supposed to be shipping but of the character interactions that I’ve seen SMG and IG have the most amazing chemistry.

Once Upon A Time: I’m adoring this show, it’s one that I watch with my sister (we also watch Criminal Minds and NCIS together as well). I don’t know if fic is in the future for it, but there’s a few ideas bubbling around. Just a couple episodes in and I’m shipping Snow White/Prince (James) Charming. Snow White kicks butt; Mary Margaret is still growing on me I think. I’m also really liking Emma and though I have some ideas of what I’d like to see for her, I think I’ll hold off until the show gives us a little more on her. I’m glad that next episode we’re going to branch out a little from the Snow/Prince/Emma/Regina/Henry stuff and introduce other characters.

Aww, but Misha is coming back to SPN one day. I agree, though, that the show is kind of played out. This season is okay but it reminds me of seasons 2 & 3 in that most of the episodes are kind of meh and the only reason I like them is because of being hooked on the characters. Last season was hugely disappointing in many ways until they got to the end; I loved the end. No one was used to their full potential. :(

If Misha comes back I'll return as well (I'm a glutton that way ;))

An amen to the no one being used to their full potential, but also sometimes I look at episodes and I think Jared/Jensen were kind of just phoning in their performances some weeks.

They haven't announced when Misha will be back, but said he will in some capacity. I'd like to see Cas back for many episodes; the story they're telling this season really isn't great enough to warrant killing him.

Yeah I agree, there are definitely eps where Jared or Jensen weren't given enough stuff to do to warrant them even BEING there, to be honest. It's like sometimes, Dean does the same stuff over and over and doesn't grow as a character for so long that I can see why Jensen would be a bit blah about it. I'm a firm believer that most shows with only two major leads cannot survive past a few seasons unless you give them other people to interact with. That's why Ellen, Jo, Castiel, and even the Campbells were so important, and should have been further developed instead of killed off. It's also why some fans have given up on the show. If I wasn't so emotionally invested in the characters, I would have stopped watching in season two. And completely missed Castiel!

Yay! I'm glad there's more Ringer fic coming. I've really been enjoying your story. And I agree about the chemistry. It's amazing, and I totally ship Bridget/Andrew.

Bandom and I are still pretty much going strong, but I totally agree that there is not nearly enough Ryan Ross being written right now. I'\\ start to worry sometimes, about being one of the very few that's still obsessed with him /0\

I'm sorry to bother you but I found a rec for a fic by you called Journey's End. I followed the link and saw that it was friends locked. May I please be added so I can read the fic? Or is there a place where I can read it if you are not comfortable adding me? Thank you very much!

Hi,

You can find Journey's End unlocked at Dreamwidth, due to a troll attack several months ago Journey's End will remain locked on LJ.

Thank you.
