Blah, blah, blah...

I feel like talking. Aren't y'all lucky?

I feel mildly sad about my OTP feelings occasionally. When people rave about a story and then I read and I go, "But... Justin and Lance never even talk." and completely dismiss the fine qualities of the fic 'cause it doesn't hit my pairing button.

Most of the time, though, I'm giddy/bouncy/happy about my OTPs, so there you go.

And they don't change. Six years for Buffy/Xander. The first time I thought about *nsync slash, Justin/Lance was the pairing that I thought of. I can read and enjoy other pairings but there's always something missing. I don't have that emotional connectiveness.

Like I said, mildly sad about that.

I could only read the first Sandy series once, 'cause it ripped my heart out. I was fucking whimpering at the end, saying that it couldn't end that way. I was glad to read the Coda 'cause it made my heart unrip for that story. Mend?

But I tend to form my OTPs early on and then once I have them, they're fixed. Couldn't change them if I wanted to.

You're read beckynicky's LAMBS haven't you? She does them talking really well.

Hmm. That's interesting because that's how I feel most of the time, maybe it's true for everyone who has an OTP?
The first fanfic of anything I ever read was the Sandys' Many-roomed Houses and I became an instant lambs OTP-er. Even now, I'll occasionally read non-lamby stories and my brain will tell me that it's good but I can't help feeling that there is something... not quite right. Because, the lambs for me are a strong pairing for the very independence they have from each other? I don't know if that sounds quite right. They aren't together because of need, it's more complex what draws them to each other.
Which leads me to also say that I really love your snippets because they capture a moment so perfectly but I suck at writing feedback(read I never send feedback because I suck).

Wow. Sorry for spamming your journal like this but um... lambs! You mentioned 'em and I couldn't resist. Sorry. ::runs away::

No! It's interesting! Half the reason I babble is to encourage responses.

And yeah, it's that subtle feeling of wrongness, like walking into your room only to find out that the walls have been painted a different color. The new color may be nice but it's not yours.

same with me too. Once I fix my OTPs, they aren't going to change. (Lambs!)

Lambs!

Justin!

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaance!
