Meme time... and spotting wildlife, positive and negative

[graculus]

Before I disappear into my Wild Wild West and Maid Marian and her Merry Men dvds (because guess what else turned up this morning?), I thought I'd follow the herd... it's everywhere, so you know the drill:

1. Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general. Ask anything...I'm really not bothered.

2. ONE QUESTION.-- Nah, you can ask more than one, but I might or might not answer it.And also not too many sub-parts, you devious people...

3. That's it. It can be as normal or odd as you like.


In other news, it's wildlife spotting time again. I know, last time around it was me running over stuff, but this time I've been better. ;)

Yesterday morning, I was driving over the bridge and saw the same thing twice - initially I thought the first one I saw was a small deer, but then I realised it was actually a brown hare. And then there was another one, in the next field along. Coolness.

Not so cool was the variety of roadkill on the way to and from work, which usually tends to include the following in some combination or other: badger, fox, rabbit, squirrel, pheasant, pigeon, crow. This morning's also included something more unusual, an all black ferret-like creature which my online investigation just now tells me is a mink. So that's probably quite positive for the local wildlife where it got squished, if not for the mink...

It's a bit disspiriting when you've worked for ages on something and then realise it's massively flawed.

I have a E/N story like that, too. I thought I had pretty much completed it, but now I realize that it needs major re-writes and I just can't work up the initiative to do so. I already put too much work into it as it is. Damn!

I agree that Ezra/Nathan are a lot more angst-y. Perhaps that's why I like that pairing. They're just so interesting together. Your comment about Nathan being a nasty drunk rings true for me. That could make a good scene in a story. No? ;-)

I still have a couple of half-baked E/N ideas knocking around, but I've always got ideas for a bunch of stuff and many of them are heading towards being school age now.

Ah well, if you ever do write more I will be very happy to read it.

I know that they were certainly the first pairing that sparked for me, watching 'Working Girls' when Nathan tears a strip off Ezra and he pretends (badly) not to be bothered by it. But then there's angst and there's OMG ANGST!!!!!1111!!!! ;)

That has potential for being too much in the OMG ANGST!!!!!1111!!!! category, I think. I don't get where people writing Ezra as a doormat come to the character from bearing on mind what we see onscreen. I don't think he'd take crap from Nathan and then just stick around to take some more...

Yep, that's about the size of the audience for E/N alright... ;)

Oh I agree. I definitely agree. I don't think that Ezra has "the slap me again I love it" complex. But I still think it would be interesting to see Nathan as a mean drunk in fanfiction. It would amuse me.

Heh. Surely not? I recently posted an E/N story and got a whole two comments. So there are others. Maybe not legions, but a few. We happy few. ;-P

So, we're here to keep you amused, are we? ;)

As I see it, Ezra's reaction to Mean!Nathan would be either a) shoot him, b) leave town, or c) shoot him and leave town. Which kind of makes the whole angsty relationship a bit tricky!

Well, duh. ;-P

Or d)Ezra tells Nathan off, dumps him and goes off with Buck to live slashily ever after. ;-)
