I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Katie, you've never seen an episode, and managed to come up with all that? Damn, I'm impressed!

Fanfic. (Well, and being in the Due South topic...) Speranza's stories are the ones that manhandled me into reading off-and-on in the fandom.

lj just had a really funny "stuff I know about shows my friends watch" meme go through. Amazing the things you pick up.

Due South is on in rerun on Canada's Showcase channel.

So this is the show that spawned the fic that spawned the tags of which I did not know the origin. Here is the thing I learned today.

Edited for ... words that go together.

Polyarmous Recommendations, by Shrift and Nestra is a great source of really good DS stories.

Also DS fandom is having quite a resurgance on LJ. There are several communities--ds_flashfiction, for shorter stories, ds_reporter--that keeps tabs and updates on actors appearances, stories written, articles,etc; ds_discourse to discuss episodes, etc (there's an IRC chat for that as well), ds_writers, for discussing writing, looking for betas, etc. I think that's all of the ds communities. oh! and an icon community but i'm blanking on the name, it might just be dsicons.

Color me at least slightly boggled that people read fics in fandoms for shows they don't watch. Curiouser and curiouser.

I've read fanfic for shows i've never watched, it's been a way to get introduced to new shows.

Also a reminder--MI-5 is on tonight on A&E at 9 EST for those of you who watch it/started watching it.

Very true. And not nearly as bizzare as writing fics for shows you don't watch.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Whereas I've never been able to really get into fic for shows I don't watch, no matter how well-written and plotted the story as a story. It's a different strokes thing, I suppose.

Mmmm. MI-5.

And yes, today's HL ep is extra-slashy. Big Gay Poet Love.

Writing fics for shows you don't watch can be considered bad form.

Although I've done something like this, sort of. Back a few years ago when the Buffistas were on TT, I was really into this X Men Iceman/Gambit fanfic series (before the movie came out) and I read it, liked it, but it didn't have an ending yet so I wrote one. Gudanov actually beta'd it for me.

I've since taken it down, but the story itself, once I changed the names and altered a few details read exactly like any other generically bad original fic.
