I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Due South and Smallville are shows that I like because it enables the fic reading/writing.

The problem I'm running into is explaining that to someone else. I sit down to watch TV, and it goes like this:

Other Person: What're you watching?
Me: Starsky and Hutch.
OP: That's crap. The plots are useless.
Me: I know, but I like it anyway.
OP: Why watch something that's not good TV?
Me: Err, well...

The honest answer is 'because Starsky and Hutch are obviously sleeping together, and I want to get their voices and the way they move right when I write about them having sex', but it's not exactly a thing you say to just everybody.

Am, that's precisely the problem I have explaining to Hubby why I watch the occasional Smallville. "Well, you see, I wasn't quite sure where Fay got the motivation for Lex to seduce Clark, and there's a great debate over whether Lex is just using Helen as a cover for his one true love, so I figured I'd better catch up a little."

Sabine has an idea for The Legacy Archive. Check it out.

Me, I can't decide what to submit...

Huh! Gods, which one ... Spike and Xander in the steam room or Giles and Ethan watching the Council go floom ...

That's what I'm thinking. It feels like it has more breadth to it, somehow. Plus if they're going to leave such Giles-shaped holes in the storyline, they can't blame us if we fill them.

Is there any news on where James Walkswithwind and Mad Poetess' site has gone? I need to catch up with the Sandy Places series.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

This should take you to Sandy Places and Domestic Piranhas Connie

Thrive to spite them

I'm officially watching Stargate now and I need some fanfic recommendations. Where's a girl to go if she wants to read the good stuff?
