You may be a fic snob.

[mrv3000]

If you wake up each day, excited to read mailing lists to hunt down new badfic, you may be a fic snob.

If you die a little inside each time the hero is reduced to reciting poetry, outside of the Shakespeare fandom, you may be a fic snob.

If you get grossed out anytime someone gets publicly horny over some "hawt pr0n," you may be a fic snob.

If you have to restrain yourself from *really* doing what the author wants when you see a plea for feedback, you may be a fic snob.

If you start becoming convinced that badfic authors are only writing in order to torment you and you alone, you may be a fic snob.

If you scream in terror at the very mention of the word "songfic," you may be a fic snob.

And finally...

If you wince anytime someone mentions the word "beagles," you may be a fic snob.

There are probably more, but the coffee hasn't fully kicked in yet.

As I was telling someone a while back, nandamai x mrv3000 + Sundays online = trouble. (With a capital T that rhymes with P that stands for Pool.)

Yes, yes, yes, yes... YES!! :-)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

HA! It's scary, man!

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Fic snob and proud of it, baby!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

When we're very old, we're all going to wind up somewhere, muttering to ourselves about the goddamn beagles between drags on the ciggies.

[lytarules.livejournal.com]

*is a sadist*

Songfic!!!!!

Beagles!!!!!!!!!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

*FLAILS*

WAH!

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Be careful, or you're going to end up with some beagles in your Sam/Teal'c fic.

If you get grossed out anytime someone gets publicly horny over some "hawt pr0n,"

That makes me a fic snob?

...

Well, damn.

And here I was thinking I just didn't particularly care about the inner-workings of someone's sexual drive.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

*May* be a fic snob. May. ;)

(And it all stems from a long discussion this morning about characterizations and what makes a "good" fic and how to some as long at it's "hot" it's good, etc. etc. etc.)

[littledivinity.livejournal.com]

Well, considering the rest of them apply to me as well...

I already knew I was a fic snob right around the time I stopped enjoying the ones everyone else seemed to think were "HOTT" or "omg, so cute and romantic!" or even, "omg the charectezation! jack iz so hott!"

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yeah. *sigh* That was sorta how it all started - we were musing about fic recs where someone would say "her/his/its Jack/Sam/Teal'c/Daniel/Thor is PERFECT" but when you get there, you do a lot of blinking. Not to even mention the recs that are just because it's hot or oh so very romantic.

[pixiesio.livejournal.com]

LOLOL!!! Amen! ;)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

It had to be done. Really. ;D

What about.......

[pro-hominum.livejournal.com]

If you would cheerfully do time for killing the author who tells you *again* the full name and rank of the charactor you've been watching for 8 years, you may be a fic snob.

Or

If you scream when you read for the thousandth time Teal'c left the service of Apophis to fight the good fight, you may be a fic snob.

BWAH! I think I did that a time or two in earlier fics before a beta rightfully bitchslapped me. :D

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Or that Teal'c "raised an eyebrow." Mwah.

Re: What about.......

[pro-hominum.livejournal.com]

At least you stopped! I can't believe that people still write it *now*

*takes deep cleansing breath*

Or that Teal'c "raised an eyebrow."

Hahaha - I'd forgotton about that one!

What about -

When your brain shorts out because Jack and Sams two kids are named Daniella and *insert crazy ass name bastardised from Teal'c here*

Re: What about.......

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

HOW could I forget the kids' names? BWAH! Daniella Tealcana Janet Jacobina O'Neill. :D

Re: What about.......

[pro-hominum.livejournal.com]

Tsk, tsk! You forgot to hyphonate Carter-O'Neill! ;o)

Tealcana Jacobina - *dies laughing*

OMG. Yes. I hate that.

Ugh.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Way way WAY TMI! WAH!

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

Beagles? :: is confused ::

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Awwwww. *pats* It's a series of Jack/Daniel fics that are so notorious, they're starting to make their way into shipper circles. Think Mary Sue in beagle form. And the beagles *talk.* (OMG!)

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

Duuuuuuuuuuuude.

That is just...so much more wrong than anything I was imagining...

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

"Woof!" Bijou said, immediately jumping on Jack and besieging him with a slew of kisses.

Jack laughed, "Oh, okay, I love you, too. Mutts!"

Daniel picked up Katie and began petting her. He watched Jack playing with Bijou.

"I said it before, but ... this is it, Jack. You, this house, the girls. I'm just ... gawd, I'm happy. I don't want to spend my life in tombs. I want it to be part of my life, not all of it."

"I love you, Angel."

Right up there with the sappiest S/J fics. :D

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

"Angel"????????

:: shudders :: Thank you for sparing me the dogs actually talking.
