Wow, I may actually have a new fandom or two.

1. So. Leverage. We're all on this page? Right because I'm pretty sure that Alec and Eliot are doing it or will be doing it very shortly. Maybe I will write that. Anybody who says "Somebody please kiss this man so I don't have to" is just biding his time until he DOES get some quality time. Imagine if Gunn and Lindsey spent a whole hour flirting on your telly. Yeah, exactly. WATCH IT!

2. Merlin. Oh fucking kay. Are y'all happy? Seriously, because Merlin is like, like it's some super def blow out type crack. The issue here isn't what to write but where to start. I'm kind of hesitant because I can't fucking figure out how to write it. It's obvously not Ye Olde English, but it's still strangely reserved. Maybe I should I start with the High School Prom AU where Gwen is the beard for Arthur and Merlin and nobody approves, least of all Arthur or Gwen's sekrit boyfriend Lancelot. Actually, the one with the dragon egg baby (I hate you [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock) seems to be pacing ahead of everything else, maybe I should do the one where Arthur gets turned into a baby dragon. Are we sensing a theme here? Can we have a Help! story where Arthur shrinks to the size of thimble. Oh my god, total sensory overload, and I'm only at the end of episode #4.

3. I am going to create a military/Generation Kill mix. Oh, yes. I just need to rope somebody into doing the cover art.

4. Speaking of the most holy First Recon, I plan to write a Brad/Nate sex story that's all PG. It can be done just ask [livejournal.com profile] sparky77, who's still cursing me out for the sneak preview.

I may have actually acquired some Generation Kill to watch. Maybe. You know. So there is that.

The tone question in Merlin is a really tough one--whether to go as cracky or more so than the show at its silliest, or more serious. I'm tending toward more serious because I'm not very funny, but I think you could go either way and be awesome. And with the story ideas you seem to have, cracky seems like it.

Dude, I totally meant to watch Leverage. Have I missed the first ep?

[identity profile] plumtastic.livejournal.com 2008-12-08 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
or the one where Arthur gets turned into a baby dragon

*giggle* YES. And goes around biting everyone's heels when he's pissy. And after flying around Morgana's bed chamber just to make her *more* batshit crazy, he snuggle down with Merlin (purely an unconcious thing on Arthur's part, but like, Merlin is dragon catnip or something).

Too twee for words? Definitely. Must it be done by someone? Yes.


Also? Most Holy First Reacon Mix? I am so all over this, it's not even funny.

(and one day I'll actually have to upload a Merlin and GenKill icon. Geez.)

[livejournal.com profile] havenward has already got some Alec/Eliot written from the pre-air version of the pilot. Fandom is so efficient!

Dude. We're not friends or anything but I would fucking kill for a good military mix. Or, you know, make art for it. If you want.

1. Downloading it now!

2. Me too, me too. Merlin is my new favorite thing in the world. Manservant! Bradley Jaaaames. Yes.

3. OH MY GOD YES a Gen Kill fanmix. I have been wanting one of those foreverrrr.

4. Wow, that's sounds quite evil! ;D

Did you need the brown paper bag or did you try to wing it?

1. Have yet to watch Leverage, but from reaction of my flist - which was universally, 'wow, THAT was gay' - I'm thinking I'll like.

2. ::resists::

3. Hee! Now I'm interested to see what you come up with. The ones I've seen have been mostly songs actually used in the show.

4. ...buh? What is this non-graphic porn of which you speak?

I am SO excited that you've gotten into Merlin, too!

Damn it. Leverage. I need to watch that too.

You should TOTALLY write some Alec/Eliot. Hot bantery thieves! It's as if they KNOW us!

Oh thank god it wasn't just me watching Leverage and thinking, 'wow, Eliot is all flirty' I loved the Klingon exchange.

1. OMG YES! I found it way back when and have been waiting for it to premiere forever. I might have squeed just a little bit when I realized someone was picking it up for a full season. Yay to Alec and Eliot slash.

2. *claps hands* woohoo I knew it was just a matter of time before you succumbed to the slash that is Merlin. Just wait until you get to the one with the unicorn. And you thought the one with the gay ball of shiny light was bad... *cackles*

3. Music! I love your mixes. I have all this really random music on my IPod that I love because of you.

4. You, PG? What is this crazy talk of which you speak?

Oh very happy :DDD So if it is any consolation, I may be tempted by Leverage. And *encourages the plot bunnies*

You know what the worst part of Merlin is?

I've only seen two episodes and I am getting rabid, insane, cracktastic vidding bunnies. TWO. Can you imagine when I've seen the rest?

: pats the Great Dragon. Carefully.
