Notes:

1. FRIENDING MEME III is still going!
2. Fandom comm meme at [livejournal.com profile] heard_of_it!
3. Going to be doing some advertising for [livejournal.com profile] livelongnmarry until the 15th! Thought it'd be win-win, people get to get their sites/comms out there, you get to find site/comms you might not have seen, and all the money gets donated, so. Just a little bit of extra scrolling to do, if you're not interested. (:

[livejournal.com profile] livelongnmarry [LJ] - panfandom auctions! Tons of stuff to bid on, and for a good cause.
Juxtapose Fantasy [website] - Yaoi/slash fans - have you visited JuxtaposeFantasy yet?
More Tales of Mu [website] - (More) Tales of MU: High Fantasy, Higher Education.

"Well, yeah. Mostly because I find soaps and series entirely about who's getting in who's pants/who is rly related to who/who's getting married/who betrayed who/ETCETERA FOREVER to be boring as all hell. Just a personal thing, here."

Yeah, because sci-fi series NEVER do any of that ever, and all soap and drama series are only about the things you mentioned.

I really don't have a problem with a story incorperating that, but if it's the main driving force, it tends to bore me, if that makes sense. It is really just a personal preference here- Buffy could be pretty soap-opera-y but there was a lot of other stuff involved, Angel was... a bit more so than Buffy really, and I actually liked the series not quite as much, but even there they had other stuff being the driving plot (most of the time). Whereas Point Pleasant looked like it was going to be a really, really cool show about the daughter of the Devil, but ended up being mostly-soap-opera. I personally lost interest and stopped watching. I tend to do that with most series if they take that turn.

There are probably soap and drama series that do it a lot better, and have other elements. I just know that pretty much all of them I've watched have bored me, or haven't been able to keep my attention after a few episodes. Again, it's a personal thing. It's usually about balance between romantic-relationship-sex-and-betrayal based plot and other-based plot for me, and if it slips too far the first way, I tend not to like it. Doesn't always work that way, exceptions to every rule, etc, but still. It's just me.
