  • It's official: I am completely out of touch with DW fandom. *waves bye bye to it*

  • Still on a quest for long plotty Sherlock fic. Unfortunately it's damn rare, and the vast majority is porn. I even tried ff.net. I KNOW. Didn't find anything though.

  • Bleh. Dizzy today. Over 2 years of vertigo now, but I am trying some new meds. We'll see. So far it's just making me exhausted without being able to sleep. At least it's not hives...so far.)

  • I just don't know how they'd pull off a Thin Man remake. Hmm.

WAIT, YOU'RE NOT ABANDONING DOCTOR/ROSE, TOO, ARE YOU????

Yeah, I haven't been able to find any Sherlock fic that interests me. There is one Sherlock/Doctor Who crossover, featuring John/Donna, but I haven't read it.

Nononono. Just the new stuff. I need to drop it because it's become a chore to keep watching.

I'm not really wild about the thought of a crossover. Crackfic maybe.

You could come join me in Vampire fandom? You are already halfway there without even watching the show! :p

Or we could try writing hamster fic again. Would writing hamster fic help?

Hamsters all look alike though!! WHAT IF JACKIE MISTAKENLY NUZZLED DOCTOR!HAMSTER BECAUSE SHE MISTOOK HIM FOR PETE. :O

I'm still curious about the camper and why Damon was stalking it. Do vampires have a thing for campers? Was Damon thinking about buying one? INQUIRING MINDS.

DOCTOR!HAMSTER WOULD PASS OUT AGAIN, WHICH MEANS THAT DONNA COULD ONCE AGAIN STEAL HIS LETTUCE.

LOL IT IS AN UNSOLVED MYSTERY OF OUR TIMES. ESPECIALLY SINCE HE LIVES IN A MANSION. I actually have a lot of unsolved mysteries of S2 that I plan to make a poll about at some point. I will include the campers thing just for you.

I also picture him huddling behind hamster!Rose, entire body twitching in horror and disbelief.

When I can't connect to what's apparently the best episode Doctor Who has ever made, it's time to move on.

Try this Sherlock fic:

http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/2727.html?thread=6203815#t6203815

A London Blitz. Not exactly mystery, but ZOMBIES. It's shippy but not porn. And ZOMBIES. And Anthea being a BAMF.

HA. And here I was thinking of watching the latest episode based on some of the reviews. Not so much, eh?

I hate to say it but my life really is much quieter without the DW fandom.

Well, it seemed that most everyone else really really loved it. I didn't hate it, but I just didn't really connect to it.

Yeah, fandom has its entertaining uses. :D

Did just post a request for recs at my journal. Hopefully there's something out there.

*LURKS* THANKS!!

I am concerned about a Thin Man remake. Not least because Depp is also involved in another remake; he's going to be Tonto in The Lone Ranger. *sigh*

O_o

That might be part of it for me. It felt very fan meta-ish to me. Very like what fandom's imagined already.

[identity profile] rattus-aerius.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
I just don't know how they'd pull off a Thin Man remake. Hmm.

Does every movie that's made have to star Johnny fucking Depp?

THERE ARE OTHER ACTORS.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
But only one other actor, and he was busy making The Hangover V.

[identity profile] solielle.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
I know, right? I like Johnny Depp and even I'm sick of him.

[identity profile] rattus-aerius.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I like him too, but the dude needs to take a vacation already. ;)

I didn't hate it. I didn't understand some of it but I didn't hate it. However it proved that I'm not a Matt Smith fan. I find his delivery odd. A lot of people say that's his characterization which is fine...I just can't relate. I can't watch him at all in interviews so I guess that's saying something.

I still didn't like Amy. I often want to smack her. Since I've always felt the companion is the person I relate to that's never a good sign.

I'll stick with my fic reading and wait this incarnation out and see what happens.

I really can't relate to his characterization of Eleven either. Not sure if it's the writing or the acting though. Probably a combo of both.

I don't relate to her, but I'm not annoyed by her. She doesn't inspire any kind of emotion in me really, good or bad.

I still want Eddie Izzard. :D

I'd say come watch Parks & Rec with me but A) it's only got one week/ two episodes left this season and B) I'm not really into the fandom, I just really love the show. I want to write a post about it but I am so backlogged with writing! I must semi-owe you like five fics. Maybe I could try to write you a fic a month for a while.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Bleh. Dizzy today. Over 2 years of vertigo now, but I am trying some new meds. We'll see. So far it's just making me exhausted without being able to sleep. At least it's not hives...so far.)

I grew up with the Thin Man movies -- my folks love black and white mystery films and even to this day if I am home for any length of time we often pop in one of the films from our boxed DVD set, pop some popcorn, and enjoy.

I guess the question is -- how do make a character like Nick Charles palatable for the 21st century? He was sort of the lovable drunk, the functional alcoholic, and that's not really kosher these days.

Besides which -- Johnny Depp? Really? Playing another off-balance drunk? *sigh* Oh well, I suppose.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
I've been thinking the same thing. I'm not sure how they could translate the characters. I'm guessing they'll be quite a bit different.

I still feel disconnected from New New Who. I saw the old console in last night's episode and I missed it. Now the show is more a fun ride, enjoable for 45 minutes than it is "OMG, I need the next episode nowwwwwwwwwww" At least we still have s1-4/4.5, right?

You mean there may be Sherlock fic out there that isn't porn?!?

:( *hugs*

I still haven't wrapped my mind around a My Fair Lady remake, never mind a Thin Man remake. If anyone even thinks of remaking Bringing Up Baby or Adam's Rib I will cut.a.bitch.

NOPE. XD Okay, there are a few.

NOPE. XD Okay, there are a few. Poor Doyle, from the tv show and the movies to the fanfic and the porn- he must be rolling over in his grave.

Or Philadelphia Story. Just no. Right on. Shall we form some sort of committee that makes it our mission to prevent these remakes from happening?

It's okay. I've been out of touch since the start of series 5 perhaps even while the specials with 10. :/ A lot of my flist is like that. We've moved on to other fandoms.

Maybe we can both escape to the Torchwood fandom together!

Wait.

Or is that exchanging one crazy for another?!

Oh, and BAH to your vertigo! I was wondering the other day how that was going. I'm sorry you're still suffering from it. :( Did you doctor(s) ever figure out what's causing it? Or are they still flummoxed?

And now I've been diagnosed with migraine events. So the medication is supposed to help with that.
