Television! OMG, I forgot how much I <3 it! [07 Feb 2010|10:50pm]
[ mood | squee! ]

Caprica

Otherwise known as Jane Espenson's show, woo! (Only... not anymore, which is less woo, but... supposedly that was her choice? But we all know Hollywood's idea of honesty, so... well, she's still a writer, at least... ANYway...)

Finally saw the Caprica pilot, and my reaction was: Whoa. And then: :D BSG IS NOT GONE! :DDD

Although, for me, BSG is literally not gone, since I still haven't watched the last three episodes... Yeah. I dunno why, either, although at this point it's mainly that I don't remember what was happening and so now I'm gonna have to rewatch a bunch to get caught up. Which won't be a horrible thing, of course... and it's not like I haven't been watching ridiculous amounts of TV lately anyway. Obviously, from this post.

Interestingly, though, for all that I loved BSG, I was never actively fannish about it. Never wrote fic, rarely discussed meta, etc. It's possible it just had enough going on that the show itself was satisfying enough. Huh, what a concept.

(ETA: Oh... and apparently, they are doing the same general plotline that Heroes could have done with the Sylar!Nathan thing, you know... what makes a person, what about souls, are memories and such all that we are... Only, seriously, I highly suspect they will do it approximately 50 bajillion times better. Which is kind of cool, as it's an interesting question to explore, and all Heroes did was vaguely point out that it might be an interesting question to explore, and... ok, no I'm not even gonna go there right now, yeah.

ETA2: With added bonus creepy cults and... it must be said, vaguely incestuous subtext. Dammit. Now I have incest goggles, too. Frak. *shakes fist at Heroes*)

White Collar

I watched through to the current episode (what day does it air, btw? So I know when to expect my iTunes download), and I have to say that the show got off to a bit of a slow start, but as it went on and became more and more about the pure and true love of Peter/Neal... I got a lot more into it. Unsurprisingly, given that I am me. And Neal is beautiful. And Peter is deliciously snarky and kind of a dork. <3

Oh, oh, and his wife is so clearly rooting for them. She'll just want video. Or to participate. Or both.

Oh, and poor Mozzie is clearly hopelessly in love with Neal, who is utterly oblivious. *smacks Neal upside the head* Treat him better, you pretty jerk, you. He loves you!

Clearly, this is one of those shows where things need to be resolved via orgy.

The 4400

Trying to watch this one, but I haven't found a character I'm interested in yet. Still, I pushed on through the boring bits of White Collar, so I shall do this show the same service. Since it's kind of like Heroes, only without Tim Kring.

Leverage

DAMMIT, no new show until Thursday. *pouts* WANT MORE NOW, PLEASE. I already miss my cute, dysfunctional conmen family. :(

General comments

Since I've now bought three seasons worth of shows on iTunes in the last couple weeks, and am now going to have to buy Caprica, obviously... it's beginning to look like cable might not be such a bad investment after all... Plus, I'd get Animal Planet! :D I suppose I could price it out and see... but then, I like HAVING the episodes to rewatch, so there's some added value to the iTunes plan.

Also, I need ICONS, people. Many, many icons. For all of the above shows except maybe 4400, still reserving judgement there. But particularly for Leverage. <3

Leverage Fanfic Quibble [05 Feb 2010|10:12pm]
Why do so many people call Hardison "Alec" in fanfic? Yes, I'm aware it's his first name, but no one ever calls him that on the show unless they are saying his full name. It's annoying.

Heroes 4x18, I Think? [01 Feb 2010|11:55pm]
I actually forgot what time it was on (well, more like I forgot the screwy TV time zone I live in), so I missed the first half. I didn't really want to make this post, because I'm just going to rant, so... everyone please feel free to skip this. Argh. One more episode. One more.

Okay, so, confession, I liked Sylar briefly in Volume Three. )

Two things: [01 Feb 2010|06:29pm]
1) Pleeeeeeeease go vote for Antipositional at the [info]heroes_slash awards. If you want to.

2) LEVERAGE! <3 I blasted through season one and am starting in on two. So much <3. They're all so ADORABLE, OMG. I even like Nate and Sophie. I'm fairly shock by this, as they are not really my type. Well, okay, Nate kind of is. And is named Nathan. I AM NOT MADE OF STONE, OK? *needs icon*

I leave the internet for TWO DAYS and... [28 Jan 2010|08:37am]
... bad things happen.

Oh, Adrian. I don't have time to follow the links right now, because, y'know, have to go to work (ew), but... well, yeah. Had to say something, right?

This is one of those times when being a fan can be incredibly frustrating, because you care about someone (whether that's rational or not is a different discussion...) but you can't do anything for them, really. Because they don't even know you exist. And, yeah, I know that what happened was a really stupid, bad thing to do, but my main reaction is just... worry.

And then it also just makes me realize how stupid it is for me to even assume I know anything about the guy, really.

All in all, rather upsetting in general.

TV shows which are not Heroes [26 Jan 2010|11:50am]
Soooooo... I decided to give a couple of shows I thought sounded up my alley a try, and boy were they ever.

Although... White Collar has a main character named Peter and Leverage has a main character named Nathan, and, er... I can already tell that that would be the easiest crossover ever, so... er. I could conceivably write Peter/Nathan. Yeah. *headdesk*

BUT ANYWAY... Someone please, please tell me that there is tons and tons of Eliot/Hardison slash out there in the world. IT MUST BE TRUE. ELIOT SAID "SOMEONE PLEASE KISS THIS MAN SO I DON'T HAVE TO" IN THE FREAKING PILOT.

... Also please tell me if said Peter/Nathan (or any White Collar/Leverage) crossover exists.

But don't spoil me too much, I've only seen the pilots so far!!

Heroes 4x17 [25 Jan 2010|10:35pm]
I think you can all guess my reactions, but I will sum them up briefly:

To help get you on the right track with your guesses, allow me to add that I have had a migraine-ish headache all day. )

For this prompt at my Nathan Petrelli Memorial Kink Meme: Nathan/Peter vampire!AU - Bonus points if it's a crossover with True Blood

Dear prompter: I'm sorry! I know absolutely nothing about True Blood!

First, Nathan had died. )

Heroes neatly encapsulates one of it's own issues so neatly... )

Hee! Lots of awesome prompts already at the Nathan meme! Yay! Now we just need some writers! :)

I would also just like to state for the record that it was NOT ME who posted the necrophilia prompt. But it may be me who writes it. Because I'm twisted.

The Nathan Petrelli Memorial Kink Meme [07 Jan 2010|05:44pm]
[ mood | naughty ]

AS PROMISED:



The Nathan Petrelli Memorial Kink Meme


RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:

1) ALL prompts MUST INCLUDE NATHAN PETRELLI OR ADRIAN PASDAR! (yes, RPS is okay!)

2) ALL characters MUST be 16 or older and sentient (ie, no beastiality unless someone's a werewolf) to play.

3) NO "seconding" prompts! It's annoying to the prompter and the readers, and I will delete any "seconds." If you like a prompt, write it or find someone who will.

ETA: 4) Please post prompts ONLY ONCE. Repeated or reposted prompts will be deleted.

---

That's all! Very simple! Here's how it works:

a) You (anonymously!) post a prompt (or three, or ten...) including a kink, a character, a pairing, a timeframe or all of the above or some of the above.

b) Someone else sees your prompt, likes it, and writes it for you (anonymously!)

---

All kinks are welcome! Your kink is okay, my kink is okay, that weirdo over there's kink is okay! Kinks can range from the vanilla (ie "footrub and cuddling") to the extreme (ie "noncon, violent, blood")

---

Yee haw! Bring it on.

Oh, and! PLEASE PIMP THIS FAR AND WIDE! I'd be shocked if there was a Nathan community I didn't know about, but if there is, spread the word!

A poor, deluded part of me is still thinking: All this angst will just make it THAT MUCH BETTER when they get back together.

GET EXCITED, PEOPLE! [05 Jan 2010|05:50pm]
[ mood | bouncy ]

Okay, so the show did their memorial... now it's our turn! And we, being fandom, of course express appreciation for a hot fictional guy's life with: PORN!

I will be posting the Nathan Petrelli Memorial Kink Meme on THURSDAY AFTERNOON. Everyone get your prompts and your dirty writing minds ready. :)

(Must involve Nathan. Standard kink meme rules apply.)

Ooo. I need to make a pretty banner...

***

Also, not entirely relatedly, for all of you who just came back from vacation or where-ever everyone vanished off to, I posted a new fic, and yes, I'm shamelessly self-promoting, I admit it, but it was a bitch to write and I think it turned out pretty dang good, so if you are in the mood for 18,000 words of pure, angsty Petrelli porn:

Here it be.

Yes, there is a girl in it, I know, but trust me, she's just there as a buffer. And then not there.

***

It's possible my new combination of meds is making me a smidge hyper. :)

Fic: Antipositional (Nathan/Peter, Nathan/Peter/OFC, NC-17) [28 Dec 2009|06:47pm]
Title: Antipositional
Author: Trekker ([info]47_trek_47)
Pairing: Nathan/Peter, Nathan/Peter/OFC
Rating: NC-17
Length: 18,000 words
Warning: Threesome (M/F/M), incest, first time, brief, non-explicit references to physical/emotional abuse (from Arthur, not Nathan), slight consent issues at times, and smut, smut, smut. Oh yeah.
A/N: 1) This was supposed to be a short one-shot. It then... exploded. Into this. 2) Peter's a young 18 in this, so officially, he's legal. 3) OFC=original female character. First half is N/P/OFC, second half is pure N/P. 4) My lovely beta readers, [info]snopes_faith, [info]anansie_s and [info]kindkit (but particularly [info]snopesfaith), put up with a lot from me for this one. Love them! 5) Too long for LJ, link goes to my website.

Summary: A week before Nathan's wedding, Nathan and Peter spend a night out together that goes very differently--or maybe not--than they'd planned.

$10 off a paid account! [16 Dec 2009|11:00pm]
Apparently, all paid account holders can give 10 non-paid account holders coupons for 10 dollars off a one-year paid account (which works out to either $9.95 or $15.00, depending apparently on if you pay manually or by automatic payments). Either way, it's ten bucks less, almost half price, so... comment if you want one! First ten get one!
