So, whilst we were doing what we were doing, someone actually organised a Mickey ficathon. I know.

One Shot by trolllogicfics [Supernatural, post-finale]
Ghosts in the Impala, and you never thought it would be like this.

Once I found that damn Atlantis fic, I fell asleep without reading it. The Sister couldn't sleep before that so she was helping me search. I thought I'd emptied my history list the night before but apparently not and thank fuck because I'd still be going crazy over that fic now if that had been the case. In related news: the Sheppard/Weir fans are going barmy over that damn Con. clip. Whilst I was at first vey wheeee! about it, I'm now pretty sick of it. Sigh. (But still: hee!) Also! I totally forgot that Lorne was in Stargate! *fangirls* This character? Seriously underappreciated in the fandom. (edit: Am trying to see this comm...and again, fucked up. Does anyone know why I can't see some of the comms?!) Anyway, to conclude this portion of fannish-love, I'm thinking of making a Weir moodtheme to replace the Amita one that I'm currentky using. Maybe.

Have started writing another of the prompted fics and was also doing pretty well with my NCIS one until the plot bunnies decided to take a vow of celibacy wtf.

Anyway, I'm going to scoot and get dressed before the Maternal Rental starts to throw one.

eta: David Hewlett. Need I say more? I think not.

:P

Which is where my fandom influence comes from is what I was trying to say but just failing miserably. Because you write it the other way around, and you're my authority on the subject, so when I see it the other way I have to stop a little.

[wliberation.livejournal.com]

Hah! I'm an authority figure! Woot!

But seriously though... Well, semi-seriously, I've been wondering about why I always write it that way around. Because it is odd, yo. I guess I just cannot write from Carson's point of view, and I can only write so that the one whose pov I write from is the one wanting. More oddness there.

Do you think maybe it's a projection thing? We've talked about this before, I remember. I was thinking that maybe when you weigh up Carson and McKay, Carson (oh god) comes out on top, and maybe it's a bit of...OK, don't want to try to write Carson because you could get it wrong and you don't want to do that? Sense?

[wliberation.livejournal.com]

Much sense.

I've been thinking about this quite a lot, too. (omgliek4realz!!eleven!) About the mechanics by with one picks their pairings, I mean. It's been bugging me ever since I asked Johanna why she squees over this one pairing (that I detest), and her only reply was: "Well, because I like *insert name of the other actor*."

Which got me thinking, maybe that's the reason I'm not a McShepper. Because I don't find Joe Flannigan or Sheppard the least bit interesting, hormonically (look, ma - a new word!) or as a character. So maybe I picked McBeck as my pairing because I like McKay and McGillion tickles my lady button. Okay, they both do.

And maybe, maybe I can only write from McKay's pov, looking at Carson, because of this adoriation. But yes, we had this conversation already.

But there's also the fact that maybe I can squeeze myself inside McKay's brain better than Carson's. I can relate to Rodney, his insecurities, his fretting, his complete lack of social skills. Or maybe it's just that we haven't really seen that much of Carson. Even as a permanent member of the cast, he's still left to the background. And that makes writing him difficult, because if he was properly a side-character - like Cadman - perhaps he'd be easier to write. Now he's just somewhere in between.

And yikes, look at the clock. Now I gotta go before I get late from work. *dashes*

Also, I just started typing this and then just kept on typing, so I'm not quite sure if it makes any sense.

It makes perfect sense but I'm going to let you go get ready for work whilst I find that anthrop. thing.

In response to the above: yes.
