Basically, SGA fandom spoiled me.

Every time I go on the internet and there's not more well-written Pepper/Tony fic waiting for me to read, I get really angry. And then I take it out on people who read Steve/Tony fic BECAUSE CLEARLY, CLEARLY THE REASON WHY STEVE/TONY FIC EXISTS IS BECAUSE FANDOM IS FULL OF MISOGYNISTS. NOT BECAUSE THE IRON MAN MOVIE IS ONLY A HANDFUL OF MONTHS OLD, WHEREAS COMICS FANDOM IS FOREVER OLD.

Then, when I get bored of being angry about that and want to read Steve/Tony fic, I get angry that there's not more of that. WTF IS WITH YOUR HOMOPHOBIA FANDOM. >:(

And then I get angry that [livejournal.com profile] elspethdixon and [livejournal.com profile] seanchai aren't writing movieverse Pepper/Tony.

And then I get angry that the REST of the internet isn't writing movieverse Pepper/Tony and the cycle begins YET AGAIN.

Basically, what I'm saying, is that being a mcshep fan spoiled the shit out of me and I no longer know how to interact with normal fandoms. And that I'm perpetually angry with fandom these days. I'm going to go punch some babies now, in hopes that it makes me feel better.

In Robin updates, today we went up to the fells to do some hiking. (btw, I'm never moving out of Somerville, unless it's to move a town or two north. I forgot how much I loved being ten minutes away from the Middlesex fells.) The dog looooooooooves being outside. In fact, he loves being outside almost as much as he motherfucking hates bees. I'm pretty sure that, in addition to his ear, he got stung at least once in his mouth but I'm too lazy to check.

He's also a lot more receptive to approaching people when he's outdoors on a 12' leash. So I'm going to gather up a group of friends who can listen to direction and cart us all up to the fells to do socialization every couple days, in a couple of weeks.

Also, yesterday he ventured into the rest of the apartment on his own for the first time ever. Admittedly, it was only to dash over to the futon and jump up on it because I was sitting there waiting for the fridge guys, but still! PROGRESS. Once I've got him okay with moving about the apartment and okay with walking from my car and into the fells, I can start counter-conditioning him to walking with me in the city with cars, AND THEN PEOPLE!

You know the solution to this problem, right? WRITE IT YOURSELF.

See? Problem solved! It's why I started writing in my first fandom.

No, that is a lot of effort and I am lazy and besides, I'm busy doing important things like complaining about the lack of fic.

Besides, it's, like, 8am, wtf are you doing awake at 8 on a Sunday?

Dude, what are you doing awake? I'm up because I've had my eight hours (and I almost got up after six, I've got this damn alt!John episode cap in my head, I'm going to sit down and write it as soon as I finish betaing the two fics my ducklings wrote last night (WTFingF, eh?).

Well, I'm lazy too. But then when I realize how little Ronon/Radek there is out there, that trumps my laziness.

Well, see, I was going to go to sleep, but then meme was like "LET'S HAVE AN X-FILES VIEWING PARTY!" and I was like "ROCK ON X-FILES" and then I was like "Oh, look, a fic! I'm going to read this fic and then go to bed!" and then a couple fics later I got angry because, hello, there is not new fic just sitting and waiting for me whenever I snap my fingers, and THEN I got even ANGRIER because there was UNWARNED FOR CHARACTER DEATH AND HELLO SUPERHEROS DON'T DIE GOD DAMNIT YOU STUPID FUCKHEADS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU THAT YOU WOULD WRITE THAT????????????? and then it was 8am and I was still up and, really, what do you expect?

tl;dr: I can't sleep.

And I don't understand why there's so little Ronon/Radek. :( There needs to be more.

:(((((

I'm sorry about the lack of fic in your chosen fandom. That sucks. Also no warnings sucks too.

I sent off my second Ronon/Radek piece to beta (maybe, she's a McShep girl, and wasn't thrilled, but seemed like she'd do it), so maybe I'll post it at some point. Or maybe I'll dump it and start something else. Or finish this goddamn cap. :(

:((((((((( It makes me so sad. And also, I can't find this Watchmen fic where the Comedian rapes Rorschach and that, also, makes me sad.

You should post it! I mean, beat her about the head until she betas it and then post it. :DDDD I WANNA READ IT.

I will probably post it either way, but I don't think I'll advertise it, depending on her beta. I sent it to you, silly head, that's how I found the thing again (it's on my mac harddrive).

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2008-08-10 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that one. :( I WAS HOPING IT WAS A NEW ONE THAT I HADN'T READ YET. I don't know why, since you've been working on other fic. BUT STILL.

Sorry, bb. That actually could be a series - I sort of intended to take them through fourth season, but then I finally got my John/Rodney on, and now. Well. *shrug*

SK. SK. GET IN CHAT. SK. OH GOD, BEECHER DOESN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MARVEL AND DC AND I HAVEN'T SLEPT ALL NIGHT AND I CAN'T HANDLE IT. IT'S LIKE MY BRAIN IS LEAKING OUT MY EEEEEEEEEEEEARS.

Also, meme has put impure thoughts in my head about the Comedian/Rorschach. :(

INORITE? I'm the one demanding lls :(

[identity profile] maddeinin.livejournal.com 2008-08-10 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
So, er, is there any well-written Tony/Pepper from the last month or so?

Actually I think I'll just go to your del.icio.us. And I'm going to type the address like that, too. >:(

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2008-08-10 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
NO. NO THERE IS NOT. THERE NEVER IS, EVER.

I'm actually going back through a zillions of people's (YES, "A ZILLIONS" IS INDEED CORRECT GRAMMAR, STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT) recs and reading and adding stuff, and I guess there was more than I thought, but there's not any of the stuff that I REALLY want which is hates-himself-Tony and lol-you're-such-a-dumbass-ilu-Pepper. WHY WILL NO ONE RIGHT THIS????

[identity profile] maybemabel.livejournal.com 2008-08-10 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, part of the problem is that while movieverse!Tony/Pepper is awesome, comicverse!Tony/Pepper is just... Wrong. I could maybe see it set in the distant, DISTANT past, but it's just... no.

So for a lot of people who're mostly into the comics, it's hard to think about it without that gut holycrapno feeling, I think.

y halo thar part of the problem!
