Fay, how did your eBay adventures in shopping go? Well, it looks like...
Well, I now have Seasons 1 - 7 SG1, Seasons 1-5 of
Babylon 5
and Season 4 of
Alias.
(Not yet available in the UK)
In the shops here, SG1 is retailing at £30 per season, so that's £120's worth of DVDs for around £50. B5 is at £55 per season, so that's £275's worth of DVDs for around £50.
Alias
ain't available. I'm
very
chuffed.
If only they were selling
Farscape.
Sigh. £100 per season in the shops. Cannot afford it. Cannot.
Ficwise, though, I'm finding
Veronica Mars
by far the most tempting source material right now. SUCH interesting and messed up characters. Whom I want to poke with sticks, or maybe, you know, rub salt in their wounds a little. And then kiss it better. And maybe bite them.
Um.
La la la. Nothing to see here.
What color are Team Fay's pompoms? Pink and silver?
Lexian Purple, Betsy. With sparkly bits.

There should be Wallace/Veronica. Well, no, there should be vast quantities of fabulously fucked up Veronica/Duncan, Veronica/Logan, Veronica/Lily, Duncan/Logan, Weevil/Logan, Weevil/Veronica... there should be a lot of complicated and messy and sexy and fabulous and hot and wrong fic. And some funny, snarky, plotty gen fic. And probably some disturbing Logan/otherpeopleihaven'tthoughtofyet.
But there should
also
be some surprisingly sweet, (not-saccharine, not-angsty) Veronica/Wallace.
I'm certain it's out there, Fay, though I can think of none specifically that I remember. I stopped really reading VM fic after a certain point, because I couldn't escape Logan.
I must admit, in my very brief foray into seeking out the VM fic unaided, I was surprised at how much Logan there was.
'course, I'm up to episode 16 now, and the surprise she is
gone.
Damn show. Damn button pushing. Jesus, they're cutting my heart out with a
spoon
with the whole Logan thing. He's SUCH a messed up bunny. And he bruises so pretty.
Oh god, and then you just need to throw Connor in there and you have a whole mess of hot vaguely amoral boys with daddy issues. Yum.
I agree with Plei, but I think I agree with LJ more.
I don't know if this has been recced yet. It's a cute and funny fic called Diagnosis:Wilson. Poor Wilson is suffering from House-apothy.part one,part two, and part three.
Has anyone come across any PotC/Dr. Who crossovers? I'm jonesing for Capt. Jack to meet Capt. Jack. So much fun potential.
