butterflyI haven't watched The Sentinel, but I was wondering if that's the show that does have a bellowing cop boss. Because Harding Welsh (due South) is not the bellowing type on the show and since there's a great deal of fan crossover between the shows, I was thinking maybe that the idea of the very loud cop boss originated on TS. Because Welsh shouts a lot in fanfic.
Do black screens really appeal to people? So many websites have black screens with light type and it hurts my eyes and I do not understand how people enjoy it. Is it some sort of test? See if the person is willing to risk eyestrain in order to read your stories? (Mostly, I'm not.)
And why is it that there are so few Bashir/O'Brien fics? This is a tragedy. I mean, he likes Julian more than he likes his wife. And it can't be the wife thing, because people ship adulterous pairings in many many other fandoms. Is it the age thing? Are people just not attracted to O'Brien? How is he less attractive than Garak? He has an accent, people. They both have such wonderful accents. And... they have this mutual respect and caring.
Also, I want BoB porn. This is sadly thin on the ground. I mean, yeah, I could go read Daniel/Jack porn or Fraser/Kowalski porn or Buffy/Xander porn, but damnit, I want to read Bashir and O'Brien.
Though now that I'm thinking about it, I could go for some good Ray and Ben smut. They're pretty hot together.
Hmm.

Of course, I like tragedy, so that's not always a minus.

Date: 2004-09-10 12:17 am (UTC)I do love Ray V, and I do see the slash with Zuko, but also with Fraser-- even though many times, I would see it as frustrated homophobic UST.
If you're interested in my Vecchio/Fraser slash, or even my small amount of F/K slash, it's available at:
http://caralil.slashdom.com/caraindex.html
if I remember correctly. ;-)

But they're worth a re-read.
Re: Vecchio
Date: 2004-09-10 08:15 am (UTC)Is that the one with him on the beach in Florida, drinking? I think I remember liking that. It was definitely sad and... a bit bitter, perhaps, if I'm remembering it right.

*tilts head*
I can see that. He's got the Catholic Italian cop thing working against him. And he overreacts sometimes, to Fraser.
