Old-Fashioned Meme Time!

Ten Unpopular (Mostly Fannish) Opinions:


1) I don't want to have anyone's babies. No, not even if they're the focus of my current obsession.
2) Well-done kidfic makes me smile. It does not, however, make my ovaries explode.
3) Most sex scenes are repetitive, tedious and not worth reading. This does not mean I always skip the sex, because there are authors I like who do write good sex, but that I'm usually more interested in the story.
4) Elizabeth Weir is a good leader. And hot.
5) Cute animals are charming, and well, cute in small doses. After the first couple dozen or so pics, they're boring.
6) I read just about anything, and I know where my back button is. This does not detract from the fact that Sheppard/Weir is just plain wrong.
7) I do not require a warning for character death. In fact, I prefer not to have it.
8) Crossovers are fun, and when well-written, can be thought-provoking and highly entertaining.
9) Methos may be intrigued by Macleod, may commit himself to trying to save the Highlander's head and indeed may fall in love with him. He does not, for god's sake, pine for Macleod.
10) Meta can be interesting, but the amount of navel-gazing fandom does on a regular basis is probably unhealthy.

Oddly, Rodney/John drives me up a wall. It feels like too much of a simplification of a complex relationship between two men. It's my very first squick! (I'm somewhat amused that it has taken me so long to find one.)

I don't know why, but my favorite atlantis stories are gen. Sex just mucks the whole thing up.

*laughs* Well, Sheppard/Weir is squicky for me, so I guess to each her own! I'm feeling more like gen lately as well - sometimes writers *do* use sex to simplify something that should be complicated.
