Fanfic and comic drooling
Astronomy homework done and done. Luckily my practise at bullshitting my way through lab reports served me well in completely making up stuff.
My friend Ruth is at the computer next to me and reading my livejournal. Her comment so far: "you really love Buffy, don't you?" Ruth is a fanfic writer (hurrah!) which means she's quicker off the mark at decoding the fannish terms within, unlike certain offline friends who finally broke down after three months and asked me what the hell "Spuffy" meant. I'm going to track down Ruth's Star Wars stuff on fanfiction.net later - that's one of my long-lost fandoms, like Due South or Real Ghostbusters. A few years back I was all into reading fanfic for Hercules and Starsky and Hutch and the like, even though I hadn't seen the shows. There's a novel-length piece of S&H smarm that's still one of my favourite pieces of fanfic. I'd track it down, but I'm still miffed at the Starsky and Hutch fanfic list denying me membership a few months back. I choose to assume it was because I'm not 21 and not because I'm disreputable or anything.
I gave in to temptation and bought volumes 2 and 3 of Ultimate Spider-man. This story just kicks ass as a reboot of the whole Spider-man universe. I said yesterday it was my new Buffy - doubly so now. The writing reminds me of season 2 or 3 Buffy, down to a line like "overreact, much?" or something. This could be such a good tv show, but it'd get all screwed up and the Hoyay (Peter and Harry and Peter and Flash, mmmm) would get played down. Or played up, if they went the Smallville route. I'm dying to read the next two volumes. They call to me, all alone in the comic shop. "Buy us" they cry. "Some sticky-fingered child will find us and tear our pages."
Must be strong.
I should get to see Lies My Parents Told Me and Orpheus tonight. Can't wait. There seems to be such a huge divide in opinions over Lies, even among Spike fans, that I really want to see it for myself.
