Apportioning blame...

[graculus]

In the spirit of the season, I thought I'd take a moment to apportion some blame for the sorry state of fannish obsessiveness I find myself in nowadays. Who knows, it could catch on? ;)

Things I can't blame anyone for:

Man from UNCLE - unless it's my mother, for letting me watch it when I was 8. However, obelix hasn't helped any!

Stargate SG-1 - it just came along at the wrong time and caught me unawares. Little did I know that watching a simple show would lead to me becoming one of the Evil Bad Fans I never even knew existed way back then! *waves to nausica2, xochiquetzl and obelix, among others...*

Nero Wolfe - a long-standing obsession, only 2 books to go till the complete series is mine! Mwahahaha! I'd like to blame dmarley but I don't have a time machine...

Aubrey/Maturin - again, I fell for those two long before I knew such a thing as slash existed...

Magnificent 7 - once again, the right characters at the right time, resistance was futile!


Things I can definitely blame someone for:

Wild Wild West - all the fault of that przed and her fellow talented UNCLE writers, who led me astray...

Real Ghostbusters - this time the blame must be laid with zortified, without whom I would never have thought of cartoon characters that way! ;)

Hong Kong movies - *scowls meaningfully at blktauna* It was downhill all the way, once the ho hengdai got a mention.

Harry Potter - it's all the fault of people like predatrix, lexin, dementordelta that I've read so much HP slash in the past year or so.

Dead Zone - I would never have watched that if it wasn't for xochiquetzl and her persuasive ways! Damn her!


Who knows what 2004 will bring? :)

Mwahahahahahahahahaha!

You left out "Nasty." Evil Nasty Bad Fans. As in, "Nasty, tricksy Bad Fans, we hates them, we does!" ;)

Dead Zone - I would never have watched that if it wasn't for xochiquetzl and her persuasive ways! Damn her!

Heh heh. You love me. You know you do. ;)

Oh yeah, we're tricksy all right! ;)

As for the other thing, well I can't help it if we're scarily alike!

[xochiquetzl]

Precisely why you love me! ;)

[zortified.livejournal.com]

But! Er... Um!

Oh yeah?

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Yeah!

Though I have to say if you hadn't led me astray, other people probably would have...

Anything I can do to share the love, my dear! ;)

You know you want it!!!

Pah. My life was much happier before I was subsidising Stephen Chow's retirement fund... ;)

Cool, I'm an enabler.

Can I interest you in some LotR slash? (Just kidding. Kinda.)

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Enabler. Pimp. Potato. Pohtato. ;)

And as for the LotR thing, in a word, no. Thanks. Knowing me, I'd probably end up writing Legolas/Gimli or something...

[przed.livejournal.com]

See, I have no problem with Legolas/Gimli; the world needs more good Legolas/Gimli. (And I say that from firmly within the Aragorn/Boromir camp.)

So glad to have corrupted you...*cracks knuckles for 2004*

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Don't get too excited, I'm not that much of a challenge!

Not that this should stop you producing copious amounts of Harry/Snape smut, though - who knows, I could become resistant over time! ;)

[dementordelta.livejournal.com]

Hmm, well, if you're saying you're *easy* I'm in the market for some minions....

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not sure I'd make all that good a minion, I tend to get bored and wander off if distracted by something.

Oh look, Severus' pants! :P
