{Thats cause your a whimp!} Flack/Stella! lmao I'm just kidding, Um. CSI - I guess Doc/Cath or Brass/Cath. Don't get me wrong I love Brass, but.. I'm not sure about that ship wise.. NY -> All of the ships seem fine to me, I guess. lol.. House --> Dunno don't really pay attention to it. Numb3rs-> Same. WOT-> Don't really care.

2)Top five ridiculous things that fanfic writers do.

Happy!Fics... I'm an angst girl. I can deal with fluff, but there is a thing of to much fluff. Which is why, someplace somewhere my angst comes out..but I really don't know anything else, I love me some smut. so I'm not one to go there. I don't really know, really.

3)Most common fanfic plotline.

Do You really want me to answer that one? FLUFF!

4)Most ridiculous fanfic plotline.

How to do Fluff in 27 ways... {Thats a real fic, btw}

5)Things fanfic writers do that annoy you the most (ie. typos, spacing, etc)

To much fluff. ... I'm not one to talk on Typos, I have those myself, Spacing, bite me!.. ... Em, annoys me.. LMAO JK. I'm bored man..

Re: *mumbles something about em being whacked*

[iheartnickcath.livejournal.com]

pss, At least I didn't say Snickers..

Re: *mumbles something about em being whacked*

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

yeah, at least you didn't say snickers. i would have to whack you.

and thanks sweetie. i should have figured most of your answers would be fluff/angst related.

Re: *mumbles something about em being whacked*

[iheartnickcath.livejournal.com]

You had the same thoughts. Your just jealous I had them first :P

[dbasketballgirl.livejournal.com]

1) Ecklie/Grissom (I read a fic about it somewhere, and I was like "Not possible")

2)
A. Weird crossovers
B. Killing off Greg, who would want to kill Greg
C. Not including an Amanda, everyone loves Amanda :P
D. Mary Sues, I hate Mary Sues, every OC I make is like someone I know, names may change though
E. Naming the kid after the actor, how lame is that.

3) One night stand pregnatcies, where they end up getting married at the end. Or one where someone dies/gets really sick and some reliezes he.she loves him/her (both used alot)

4) Drunken Grissom singing Lovefool. Classic.

5) Bad grammer in general, punctuation, spelling, chat speak in stories. I spell wrong occasionally, but there is a limit.

Look I filled it all out.

[dbasketballgirl.livejournal.com]

Just cause I'm bored.

1. NY- Aiden/Lindsay
WOT- Sam/Jack (I hate them)
Miami- Ryan/Speed
Numb3rs- Amita/Don (Amita/Charlie too, I hate them)
House- (Don't watch so) House/Jane

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

i hate samjack and i hate sammartin too...i just don't like sam.

and i like amitacharlie! hey!...but at least you didn't say meganlarry. then i'd have to hurt you.

[dbasketballgirl.livejournal.com]

I don't like Sam at all. I stopped watching when Sam became company whore and it all started to revolve around her. My mom said that it's not as soapy anymore, so I might watch this season again.

I don't like Amita, I don't really see a purpose in having her on the show. When they added her to the credits last season I was like argg! She is the only person on the show that I didn't like. When they almost had her moving, I was like YES (Did she actually move, I didn't get to see the last few episodes of the season because my mom signed me up for this camp thing that took place when it was on)

Megan and Larry are awsome. I love those two together.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

megan and larry are freakin adorable.

and i just think amita and charlie are cute. i didn't say i liked amita.

[dbasketballgirl.livejournal.com]

I just don't usually ship people with people I don't like (Probably why I have all of three Miami ships, cause I only like three people)

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

well, you have three more than me. (i don't think my delko/sikes fascination counts). i generally don't dislike characters. with the exception of the boa vista. don't like her too much.

and can i ask which three?

[dbasketballgirl.livejournal.com]

Ships or characters?

Characters:
Alexx
Ryan
Calliegh

Ships:
Alexx/Ryan
Calliegh/Ryan
Alexx/Calliegh

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

i mainly watch miami to drool over ryan and delko. i don't really look for ships. but those are cool.

nobody really ships alexx though. that's kinda cool.

[dbasketballgirl.livejournal.com]

Alexx is cool. I don't see why people don't ship her, she is cool.

*points you in the direction of my journal* Go look.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

ok. i think people don't ship alexx because she's married. but that's ok. i like alexx.

[dbasketballgirl.livejournal.com]

That doesn't stop people with Warrick. Alexx is my favorite character on Miami. I don't think I would watch it without here.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

yes, but warrick wasn't married from the beginning. and i just think tina needs to go die somewhere.

but that's just me.

alexx is very cool. it wouldn't be miami without her.

[dbasketballgirl.livejournal.com]

I don't see any point in Tina. Why did they have to make Warrick married? No point in it. I think it was just ot make something happen Yo!Bling wise, which is not my favorite ship. I don't like it much at all.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

...i like yo!bling. but that's ok. i was ready to throw things at warrick when he got married, though, yo!bling or not.

and tina just seriously needs to go die somewhere.

[dbasketballgirl.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

That's the reason I see so often for lack of Alexx shipping. Though I do have a fascination of putting her and Hawkes in the same room for some reason because their personalities are so similar...

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

they are. that would be so much fun to actually see, alexx and hawkes having a conversation like that. that would be fun.

have you written one somewhere?

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

Going through saved up posts...

1) Most ridiculous pairing you've ever heard of: I believe the strangest one I've heard of was a crossover pairing: Sofia from CSI and Hammerback from CSI: NY.

2)Top five ridiculous things that fanfic writers do. I don't really know.

3)Most common fanfic plotline. For my main fandom? Death of a colleague. And they all seem to deal with it the same way! Other one, lately, seems to be marriage.

4)Most ridiculous fanfic plotline. AUs that make no sense (like, for CSI? Nick not getting buried but all the events of season 6 still happenening. Gum Drops wouldn't have made sense if that was the case!)

5)Things fanfic writers do that annoy you the most (ie. typos, spacing, etc) Writing characters way too OOC, not putting spaces between parapgraphs:

paragragh......................1
paragragh......................2
paragragh......................3

Oh, and using cutesy nicknames for pairings. Half the time I can't figure out who the heck's in the fic till I start reading it.

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, and I forgot some weird ships: Horatio/Stetler from Miami and Danny/Adam from NY. Don't know why, but I look at those and jsut kinda shudder.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

ok, that nick fic...makes no sense. yeah, those ships are kinda weird...

except i read a really cute fic for the sofiahammerback one. but it did strike me as kinda strange.

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

I think some pairings can seem ludicrious but, with the right writer, work out well. Maka/Lindsay is one of them; Hodges/Bobby is another. I became fans of those because of who was writing them, knowing going into reading my first fic from them that I'd probably enjoy it since I'd enjoyed other things by that author.
