Musing

I did some polls a couple of years ago, but my friends list has changed so much since then, I wonder if I should perhaps do it again. The people who comment are different, others have moved into different fandoms, and I have also friended a few people in the Supernatural fandom. I am considering friending some people in the Torchwood fandom as well, but not Doctor Who, I will stick to the friends I already have in that fandom.

Taking these things into consideration, I think I should redo the polls that would appeal to more than the Buffy!Verse, which a couple were very Buffy!Verse centric, such as the shipping one. Don't think I will do the kinks one again either.....or if I do, maybe I should post it to nekid_spike rather than here.

I'm just not sure. The characterisation one would be multi-fandom, but wonder how many of you read fanfic anymore. Everywhere I look, comments seem to be dropping off for writers, even in the new fandoms. I know I am not reading as much new stories myself, and in the newer fandoms I have an interest in, have gone back to lurk mode mostly. I know I am not reading many multi-chaptered stories either. I feel I have wrapped myself up in older fanfic that I really love, and keep going back to. Like a security blanket.

No Sex Please, I'm a Super Inteligent, World Saving Alien.

Ok, so you know my Doctor is Asexual. Not that he cannot love anyone who isn't a Time Lord, just that that love would be platonic. This of course gets in the way of reading shipper fic with The Doctor. It is so for from my Doctor you wouldn't believe.

I also do not ship Jack/Jack, because I don't see them acting as they did in the programme. If the original Captain Jack had done that in those times, he would've been shot as a coward. Homosexuals were not allowed into the military. Indeed ruined. So I cannot get into any fic with them, cos the whole scernio is flawed to me. I know it was RTD, but still bothers me.

So this takes me on to Characterisation. I never read people doing a Character Studies post any more. Too many times it just is so far away from my own. I believe my Character is canon, but very often find it is not fanon. I think this is why I don't mind OOC characterisation, because even when people think they are being in character it is OOC to me. No I am not about to do any posts on Characterisation, in this case, I shall be in my own little island, but mumbling disgruntled that I do not find fic with my characters.

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest!
