Got Nothin' But Love.

I had a lot to say about the XMFC fandom and why I won't be participating in it, like I originally thought I would be, but it really boils down to this: I am too tired and too goddamn old to deal with stupidity and wank and earnest discussions about things that should really be obvious to people with common sense. Thanks to my new job, I have a ( Read more... )

I'm so jealous that you got to read leupagus H50 AU already. What she posted about it in her journal sounds awesome and I can't wait to read the finished thing.

I'm also really excited because tomorrow I'm going to see the new X-Men movie and I'm going to see it with a fellow fan girl, who actually lives in my city. I have high hopes for that turning out to be awesome.

It's still not done, but what there is of it is pretty amazing so far. Just the notes for what she has planned had me laughing until I cried.

I hope you enjoy it! Honestly, everyone in the movie is absolutely fantastic and has chemistry together, and while there are plotholes, the movie is enjoyable enough to make you forget about most of it.

I'm pretty sure I will enjoy the movie. To be honest though, I'm more excited about meeting a fellow fangirl. I live in a city of about 3.5 million people and this is the first time I'll meet a fellow fangirl from my acutal home town in ages. Fanboys are nice and everything but there are some thing that you can't discuss with them =D

Oh my God, yes, watching movies with fangirls is so awesome! I watched XMFC with Ron, and it was ridiculously fun. We were clutching each other and squeeing all over the place. I hope you have fun with your friend! :D

Hee! I figure it's okay not to be in the fandom if you write amazing fic for it. Mostly, I'm just thrilled that you wrote something. I love your writing. ♥

Thank you so much!

I was impressed/disappointed that X-men First Class had already managed to have a wank within a week of the movie coming out.

But they are so gorgeous and hot together. I must at least dip my toe in.

♥ It's not even worth getting into, but hey, guess what? I was watching Spiceworld with the brother (because he is nostalgic or some shit) and TOSHIKO IS IN IT BEING ADORABLE AND HOT AND FUNNY. So, uh, I'll be watching that for the rest of the evening. :D

Idek what spiceworld is but omg Tosh yay!

Also I just read that Three Inches, the syfy pilot with her and James Marsters that didn't get picked up is being retooled but still starring them may get picked up after all!

XFM? Is that the acronym for X-Men: First Class or something? Ahaha, I'm so out of the loop when it comes to Marvel stuff. I liked the movie but have zero interest in it on a fannish level, so maybe I'm lucky. Movie fandoms are too short anyway. Every time I've gotten into one it's over in a year, and I'm so busy I've only just gotten into one within a year. Eh! So I too, am the one wank and out type. So many fandoms, so little time... I need one I can sink my teeth into for a long time without all the grossness.

It totally stands for X-Men: First Class! And yeah, I would love a long-term fandom where I don't have to deal with all the usual fandom bullshit that always makes me leave, but I'm starting to believe it's a pipe dream. Sigh.
