15. Heh, I don't even watch the sport and I've read some NHL RPS fic. Some of the stuff in the comms is actually incredibly well-written, so you know, keep it up!

42. Oh, I agree that the ending was really sad. I mean the whole story has him learning how to make a home in the jungle and gathering enough wits to survive in that place and then BAM! Tangential insta-solution! Oh well, at least Bagheera's still kinda hot.

53. I sort of agree with this secret but it could be said for any pairing with a large adolescent fan base in any fandom, really. I'm sure there are lots of writers who do try to write more deeply into the possibilities of the relationship, but superficially, I definitely see why the ship's fandom may give off this impression. I do wonder though, for all that Katara's meant to be 'good' for Zuko, I've only come across one piece of fannish speculation that addressed my query of 'what's in it for Katara?'

54. not all welsh boys are gay like Ianto
YOU LIE! The one other welsh boy I've come across in fandoms was gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide for his friend/dewin. What do you mean I can't draw stereotypes from that?

60. Wait, is that Clive Barker's Abarat? Man, i have to reread those, I can barely remember who the character in you secret is (aside from obvious evilness). Can someone please enlighten me?

*laugh!!* Bran? Or is there some other "gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide for his friend/dewin" Welsh boy I've overlooked. XD

Re: 54

[identity profile] agnes-perdita.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
YES! Massive love for you for getting the reference. As soon as I saw gay welshmen, my mind turned to Bran. Because you know, he's just so...welsh...and, yeah, you get the rest. :D

Re: 54

[identity profile] baroquestar.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Count me in on the instant recognition, too. :D

Um...either of you have any good fic reccs? *puppy eyes*

Re: 54

[identity profile] agnes-perdita.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Huzzah for the mini Dark is Rising love in! =D

I really haven't explored the fandom properly and only really registered its existence from random references to it that crop up every now and then. So yeah, I'm pretty much the same as you in being quite unaware of what's out there.

There's a ship manifesto for the pairing here (http://community.livejournal.com/ship_manifesto/tag/the+dark+is+rising)

There's a fanfic archive by [livejournal.com profile] gramarye1971 here (http://gramarye.freehosting.net/tdir/gramarye.htm). And my particular favourite is this short humourous piece that deals with a fandom trope I have yet to come across particularly often, but remains funny never-the-less for its familiarty: Of Loving Bondage (http://gramarye.freehosting.net/tdir/olb.htm)

Something Different (http://cimmerians.livejournal.com/671.html) by [livejournal.com profile] cimmerians is adorably fluffy and good for a day when you just want some reciprocated boy loving with a tiny dash of angst on top. It's not usually my style, but the writer's funny enough to pull off some of the heavier scenes, I think.

I think [livejournal.com profile] gramarye1971 has a lot of fics stored in her memories as well, so that might be another good place to start looking.

By This I Shall Know You (http://shusu.livejournal.com/402578.html) by [livejournal.com profile] shusu is something that remains ambiguous enough to feel like a suitably mythological continuation of the series. I'm still not entirely sure what's going on and how it works out but the very fact that she can stir up those kinds of questions in the reader in the mere space of a couple of hundred words shows I think the lasting imagery of the story. I really like it, but goddamnit, I want more! =D

Yeah, like I said, I need to read more in this fandom. There was one fic I think where Will and Bran were both at Oxford (?) together and they go out drinking? One-shot with only a tiny hint of slash, I think? I need to find that one again. My del.icio.us-fu is clearly subpar!

Yay! Thank you for the pointers. I used to lurk on a Will/Bran yahoo group, but that was some years ago.

I shall enjoy reading my way through that lot, cheers. :) I love your icon, btw; really pretty.

Fuck yeah random Good Omens references~ ♥

Re: 54

[identity profile] agnes-perdita.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
:D It's so very much the perfect phrase for fandom participation too!

Re: 60

[identity profile] vacivity.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
That's Christopher Carrion, Lord of Midnight.

Re: 60

[identity profile] agnes-perdita.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah thank you for clarifying it. Since I can't really remember much about him, even with the name, I should probably check out the books again from the library. it's surprising though that the third book has yet to be published! Especially if there are to be 5 in the series. Huh, maybe I should weigh up rereading it now with potentially becoming interested in yet another book series that takes forever to conclude.

[identity profile] xanykaos.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, it occurs to me...was Ianto even Welsh? I could've sworn he was from the London division originally.

Plus, GO quote FTW.

[identity profile] agnes-perdita.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, if Ianto's not Welsh then Gareth David-Lloyd is doing a pretty piss poor job at covering up his accent. :D Then again, you're right. Maybe Ianto just really liked to...hang around Welsh people a lot to acquire their accent? *finds this idea rather hilarious for some reason*
