Burrell, I escaped writing the first fic I plotted (hey, Dana!), but not the next four.
Just so's you know.
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
omg! It's a wholly insane idea for a crossover, but it's such a yummy mental place that I might stay there. Hmm.
(I adored Moulin Rouge utterly and totally, with every iota of my sappy soul. Truth, beauty and love, in all their undignified, ridiculous, kitsch, embarrassing glory... don't get me started.)

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
the gradual disillusionment and sense of betrayal as one realised that CC & co were winging it madly would have been heartbreaking.
Yes, yes it was.
Signed,
bitter ex-fan who wouldn't piss on CC if he were on fire now

FayJay, we never conclusively saw them involved.
We were just told it was his baby.
There were some confusing points (well, why is she in his bathroom, then?) but really, CC was being a prick, and not at all the fun kind.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Many people lead rich, fulfilling lives without writing fan fic.
These words make no sense.
Edit: ita, IIRC, it was mentioned (that beds were involved) last season.
Fay, yes, they got textual, but it wasn't shown, just told. Because CC is the antichrist, and has his own layer of hell where he and GL can sit in black oil and carbonite until I forgive them, which ain't going to happen.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
It was, imho, in many respects a vertitable vortex of suckitude, and once again I'm very glad that this show was not the focus of my heartfelt fannish adoration whilst it was still running, because yes, the gradual disillusionment and sense of betrayal as one realised that CC & co were winging it madly would have been heartbreaking.
You speak so eloquently about the experience.
Sigh. See, I figured out how it would happen, or how it could happen, rather. Oh damn!

I didn't even bother watching the last season of X-Files. It would have felt like I was hanging out with a really infuriating ex.

did Mulder and Scully get textually romantic at any point? Because this final ep seemed to read like they were textually involved, and I've only watched it patchily.
Um. I would have to say, not textually. We never saw it as such. And it was unclear for a long time (and perhaps even now?) as to who fathered Scully's miracle!Sprog. 1013 did much poorly characterized retcons and handwaving, and basically pissed off many fans. Either have no romance or have a romance, but don't try both at the same time, you dumbasses. Feh.
Me? Bitter? Naaaaa...

And if there's a bloody romance after nine years, we deserve to SEE something, damnit. I wanted nookie! Onscreen nookie!
