Fannish regression and miscellany

[femmenerd]

*Was X-Files fandom always so rife with first person stories and a frustratingly high angst to Ridonkulous Mulder Wit ratio?

*TeeVee this year is making me totally creeped out by antlers.

*I have therapy tomorrow for the first time in awhile. I'm going to have to talk about Star Trek.

First person? I don't remember.

Angst? Holy bejeebus, yes. MulderTorture was it's own genre. And the "got to" Scully-fic rec was some angsty marathon that I never managed to read all the way through.

It reminds me of what we were talking about re: romance novels - how it's easier to lay on the angst than create something meaningful with a wider emotional palette. And the thing is: yes, there was plenty of angst on the X-Files, but it was liberally tempered with levity.

(Also, I should have remembered that you would be a fount of X-philic info, given your screenname.)

Heeeeeeee. That sounds like the most fun therapy session ever.

Years ago, when I first started seeing this therapist, I had to give her a bit of a fandom primer. Heh.

"I'm going to have to talk about Star Trek."

As you do!

She told me once that people talk about TV in sessions with her ALL THE TIME.

I grew up in rural Vermont. I am not used to associating antlers with bloody carnage. oh wait.
