Fandom squeeage

Newest fandom obsession: Gilmore Girls. I'm halfway through season 2 at the moment, and ... wow. How did this show exist for seven years without me caring about it? I have so much lost time to make up for.

I'm now having totally cracky crossover fic bunnies for a Heroes/Gilmore Girls crossover; Nathan/Lorelai, probably Jess/Claire. It's begging me to write it, as if I didn't already have enough things I'm not writing. I really need to get back into my fic-writing routine; as glad as I am that I've finally moved, I hate that it's thrown me out of the habit. And this is really tempting ...

(OT: Why does yet another of my OTPs involve the female lead not liking the ship/getting along with the male lead? Ironically, that, more than anything, is what would probably push me over into the dark side of RPF; apparently I don't like my ships to come easy. At least I'm a born multishipper, and god, this show is absolutely perfect for that. I really need to watch all seven seasons.)

You must be exhausted! I watched the final 8 or so Heroes over two nights and it completely drained me! I don't think I could do it with Gilmore Girls, especially the ones you're watching, as I get kind of stupid when I watch Rory and Jess together on account of all the crying and the heart breaking...

Apparently, I'm a tank when it comes to fandom. I'm currently on episode 28 (and I'm pretty sure I've forgotten what "sleep" means), though I usually go through a full episode run in about two days. I have absolutely no idea how I'll cope in a few months when I'm actually in active fandoms, and have to stick to one episode a week.

(And btw, I love your icon :D)

I usually have to stop myself watching too many at once, as I don't want to run out of episodes, and I like trying to pace myself. As you say it makes it that much harder watching shows in real time otherwise.

Thanks - it doesn't matter how many times I watch the icon, it always makes me laugh! In fact I was just looking at and laughing so hard, that my work colleague now thinks I'm completely insane! :)
