Eeee! LOOK AT YOU! You look so fantastic in the pink bb, I LOVE it. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Sorry, I needed to get that out of my system because you look awesome!! (I think I need more "!" in those sentences, don't you?)

Good weekends are the best thing ever, especially when they involve old and good friends and you just get to spend time laughing and talking and being with people that love and care about you. I'm so glad you had fun, you absolutely and 100% deserve it. (Will you make me a drink in September?)

I tried to get into Torchwood because I have a good friend who loves the show and she sent me the first few episodes and while I liked what I watched I just never really got SUPER into it enough to pursue finding more episodes or even watching all the ones that she sent. But I know I ton of people who love the show and it's got a thriving fandom :)

I'd be thrilled if you wrote some Kradam! If you are looking for some good information about them and their friendship/bromance, I recommend checking out this posts that ( ... )

HELLO GORGEOUS!

Aww, so you tried Torchwood? Yeah see I didn't think I could get into another sci-fi show as I did them a lot as a kid (father's influence) but I think I might dig this one. We'll see. I see that it does have quite the following so we'll see if I can play the laidback, cool viewer like I do with Idol.

Thank you for the Kradam primer. I forgot who had posted it in their journal so now, if I do go through with a story or two, I have something to work with. I definitely need to get to know them as I didn't pay enough attention to Adam's interviews and such during Idol and I didn't see enough of their chemistry during the show though I know there's lots of stuff afterward.

You have not starting posting! Ooh, stop playing with my emotions. I will try and get on joining the comm when I get off work in the morning as I look forward to seeing what you've done ( ... )

I think getting into new fandoms and new pairings is this weird alchemy of canon and fic. I can count on the fingers of one hand the pairings I've been ready to write just from canon: Ryan/Simon, HP: Harry/Hermione, John Hughes: Duckie/Cameron, HIMYM: Barney/Robin. But just as beloved are the pairings for canons I already loved, but whom I didn't feel inspired by until I saw fic-HP: Seamus/Dean, Cake, Kradam, and my current new pairing "crush", ST:XI Kirk/McCoy. You want to devour the fic, and then they take up residence in your head-that's how it happens for me.

Then I'm like, "damnit, FINE, I will write something for your sorry asses" and they calm down a little. That usually takes a while-I'm a quick writer but mostly because I take a lot of time beforehand on getting the concept and the characters down, and really knowing where I want to take them (or what's more true, where they want to take me). And while I'm writing, I actually stop reading fic, because I need to be writing my take on the characters and not someone ( ... )

Yeah, getting into new fandoms is such a... scary thing? I don't know because Cake was my first and it became so overwhelming, plus I'd never been into a pairing like I am with those two. Those stories came so naturally for the most part as did understanding the basis of that bromance. But I know you've been tittering on the edge with writing some pairings and would love to see where you go with them. I mean you made me a believer out of Kat and Elliott so it'd be great to see what you'd do with some natural pairings such as Kirk/Spock and what not ( ... )

Hiiiiiiiiii!!!! I've missed you. *hugs*

Yes, we will not speak of it because I'm keeping my fingers crossed somebody is going to wake up and bring him back. They have to.

Aw, look at you looking all hot in pink!!! You look happy in those two pics, and it makes me happy in return. And it makes me want to party with you! I'm so glad you had such a good weekend.

Some Cake fic from you would be AWESOME!!! I hope the inspiration strikes you soon, because you know I love your fics.

And Kradam, from you???? I'd LOVE that!!!!!

*hugs*

Why thank you for the compliments. I was very happy at the party. Oh, you could definitely party with me. I'm all about making sure everyone else enjoys themselves.

Oh gosh, I wish I could put together some Cake fiction. That place has been dead without a single fic in ages. And maybe some Kradam will strike me soon as well though I'm a leaner for Kratt just because I dig Matt's personality and style.

I personlly have a hard time getting into the Kratt - I do like Matt and his voice, and Kris was my fav this season... So it's not that. The pairing just doesn't click for me for some reasons.

Still, I read some Kratt fics and enjoyed them... So I'm sure if you were to write some, I'd read and love. :)

I do miss my CAKE tho!!!

love the pictures! you look fabulous in that shirt and tie. well played! and i'm glad you had such a good weekend - you deserve it.

I'm totally addicted to Jon-G fics.
oh, be still my heart. that's the best thing i've heard all week. ♥ (also, raspsun has also written a pair of really good ones, if you haven't seen those. it's a fandom of two, but we love it anyway! LOL.) and thank you, as ever, for your lovely compliments. you're too good to me.

kradam is, i think, actually pretty similar to cake in that the canon is vast. they're so cuddly with each other that the fic just seems like a perfectly natural extension of reality. have you seen the joint interviews they did in the days after the finale? if not, track those down (there's a journal that a friend of mine keeps - indaeo - where she posted many of them. if you friend the journal, she will friend you back.), and you should find lots of inspiration.

Thanks! I had an awesome time.

I know I've been awful about commenting but I don't miss a single one of your fics and hope you get inspired even quicker to write some more. I had no idea raspsun wrote any JonG fics but will definitely scour her journal to find them.

I see the similarities to Cake in Kradam but I'm a bit scared of their fans, lol. They're so into it and every detail that it's a bit overwhelming in its epicness. I haven't watched the interviews but I definitely will as I'm sure it'll spark up some inspiration inside of me.
