My fandom list is growing. I am simultaneously hooked on:

Merlin
Supernatural
Battlestar Galactica
SGA

... and now Dr. Who.

I have only six icons. I can't do this many fandoms!

It's lovely to see you drifting into fandoms that I enjoy! I missed the SGA boat (never really understood the appeal), but I've been a Who fan since the seventies and Supernatural since it started, and have just started reading Merlin.

I've been telling myself the same thing! A year ago, it was all HP, now I'm reading in... 6 fandoms. And S1 of Battlestar Galactica is waiting for me at the library. Though I hear it's on it's last season as well. :/

Btw, all your posts on Merlin convinced me to watch it over the holidays. The amount of cheesy they can cramp into an episode still boggles but I LOVE IT!.

WHoo! Yay for another convert to Merlin, SPN, and Dr. Who. :)

We share everything except Merlin, and that's only because I'm actually going to watch it when it's shown on TV here. I want genre material to succeed, so I'm holding out. I expect to thoroughly enjoy it when I finally see though.

We totally missed the BSG boat. Ship. Whatever. And now that the final season looks awesome, we're kicking ourselves.

I...uh,found...all the 'Merlin' eps and haven't watched any yet. I haven't had time!!!

*pets you*

Yes on all fandoms! ♥ :D
And yeah, 6 icons is so few, I cant't live without, at least, the 30something from the paid accounts anymore :\

6 icons really isn't enough to represent all the fandoms I love. :)

Clearly Livejournal wasn't thinking of fangirls when they limited basic accounts to six icons.

You can borrow my favorite trick. I have roving icons. I save them to a nice tidy folder and whip out the ones I want when my tastes change! Of course, the hassle of changing them makes me leave the same ones up way longer than I plan...and the hassle of changing them makes me gnash my teeth and invent colorful phrases I hope Chloe never copies...of course the hassle...

...never mind. Perhaps when you're done with school you can get a paid account???

I'm way too lazy for that. Maybe I'll just use this one for everything.

EEE! Dr. Who! (Which episodes have you seen? Any ships stand out yet? Nine or Ten? Rose or Donna? Have you watched any Torchwood yet? ELEVENTY BILLION QUESTIONS!)

You convinced me to dl Merlin, btw, so that's on my list, probably after MA and I finish working through Sanctuary. Same with first three seasons of Supernatural. Galactica is residing on the list somewhere below Buffy, since E likes it.

I'm up to the beginning of season three. No ships yet. Thought the first ep of Torchwood was dull (but love Harkness) so I'm saving that for when I run out of everything else.

I love Merlin. It's pure milk chocolate-filled deliciousness.

The first whole season of Torchwood actually has got PROBLEMS, like whoa, but it's worth it for an SGA-like WTF factor (and an SGA-like fandom of fixit fics). The second season gets better, until, um, it doesn't.

So you just started with Martha! I liked Martha more than Rose, but not as much as Jack or Donna. And the ending of that season is fantastic. ::giggles in vicarious anticipation::

I've just joined the eps comm because we've reached the point where we need to download more. I like Martha. Rose was annoying in the finale of season one and I struggled not to hold that against here.

I can't wait for more.

Oh. Kitty touching me with his paw, so cute. Warm paw.

I'm not sure if they still have it with the shake up, but Plus accounts have 15 icons. They are free, but you have to put up with banner ads.

Also, sing it about the growing fandoms. I'm actively fighting reading fic for a couple knowing that would draw me in even more...

Pssst! Did you see this video (http://vimeo.com/2772575) (4 minutes 15 seconds in)? I instantly thought of you. *flails like mad*

Sorry for the double-comment.

Thank you.

Huh.

Now, I have to download GIMP again. 'Cause I think I have the all inclusive icon for you. But, my skills... are the suck... so mostly, I hope you get a giggle out of it.

*off to play*

What, no NCIS and Torchwood? Oh, wait, that's me. For the first time in my life, I'm hooked on more than one fandom and I don't know what to do with myself!

Lots of people seems to be finding the Whoniverse, whether the good doctor or TW. (Those who weren't already on the wagon). It's whimsical and yet sometimes edgy. It's fun! It won't break your heart (oh, JOHN! :( It seems inevitable...kind of like Merlin.


There's just no POINT resisting Merlin, is there? Nope. I didn't think so.

I love all of those shows! I know what you mean about the lack of icon space, I'm having the same issue, I may have to upgrade my account!

From: [identity profile] sarka.livejournal.com
I have the six icon limit, too, and I just purged all my icons a few weeks ago, and now I have a total of two icons. It's kind of liberating, actually.

Have you tried out Dexter? I'd share my icon. ;)

From: [identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com
I tried Dexter and thought that the actor was doing great things with an interesting idea, on a show that had terrible, corny scripts.

From: [identity profile] lavvyan.livejournal.com
Hm, fair enough. They get a lot better, though, but I guess that's not worth much if the first few episodes don't pull you in.

I think I'm set for now. :D

...and then of course you need fandom specific icons that go with different moods and reactions! very difficult.

May I enhance the dilemma by corrupting you into criminal minds (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=n3Hvr72OAqQ)?

We had to cut out all our 10pm-and-later television viewing. WG gets up at 4:30 am. Everything is downloaded shows at this point.

Nrgh. How disappointing. Come on, DVDs. Or recording, or youtube. You know there's no such thing as enough entertainment addictions. I'm sure you'd write some great Criminal Minds fanfic.

From: [identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com
I don't think I would. Forensic realities, murder mysteries -- I've never written anything like that. I don't think it's what I'd do well. I'd find the research material very sad and depressing.

Even though I love the show, I don't write much SPN fanfic largely because I don't enjoy writing horror. I've written a few because I do like magic. But there's not much magic in forensics. *g*

i have bn watching all of them but i have to admit that my very favs r SGA and Supernatural! (dude, i just wish u'd ever write SPN! Dean and Sam and Cas!)

Date: 2009-01-13 09:31 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com
Ah, but I have written SPN:

Lost in the Temple of Law (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/lostinthetempleoflaw.html)

Unconditional (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/unconditional.html)

And two little drabbles:

Self Sufficiency (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/selfsufficiency.html)

Up From The Bowels Of The Earth (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/upfromthebowelsoftheearth.html)

But I've only dabbled in the fanfic end of the fandom.

y do i always fail to find stuff even when i thoroughly search for them? i would have sooo failed as a scout. only found and read Up From The Bowels Of The Earth (which i found very interesting; i wish it was the start of a long long story) i shall go check the rest! thanks for the heads up!

Temple of Law is one I'm proud of, and it got recc'd on [livejournal.com profile] crack_impala (given it was my first full-length SPN fic in that active fandom, I am very pleased). Unconditional is porn and humor and, er, brotherly love.

You my girl have very good taste in things to be fanish over :).

I only have SGA icons and thinking of branching out and collecting others for the items listed above.

My shopping list is growing for icons. And I LOVE Dr. Who if not for my Sci-Fi obsessed co-worker I would have missed out on the good Doctor. She had seasons one thru three and I watched them all and managed to catch season 4 and in my opinion season 4 was the best so far.
