...oops? (+ fangirl mathematics)

[xparrot]

So, um, a 11,500 word story in under twenty-four hours (and I even slept a full night, too)? There goes not getting into that fandom...and I was trying so hard! I really gotta stop avoiding SGA with such tenacity; backing away slowly from that gap-toothed fangirl devouring monster, I keep walking backwards straight into the mouths of beasties I didn't see coming. But you gotta admit, Psych is cute...

...what do you mean, you're not watching Psych? Whyever not?

Why? Because it's funny, and cute, and funny, and it's got the bestest theme song ever written and performed by the show's creator, and Shawn & Gus are such classic buddies and best-friends-forever-or-at-least-since-they-were-eight, and it's got great char dynamics between all the dynamic chars, and Shawn Spencer is a young Peter Venkman, if instead of busting ghosts Venkman had gotten a gig consulting for the police as a fake psychic detective.

(The problem with Shawn is that even fully realizing that he is possibly the dumbest genius you'll ever meet and one of the most annoying individuals on the planet, if not the entire solar system...it doesn't take much deductive reasoning to pick up on that...one sort of finds oneself developing a helpless crush on him anyway. At least wherein the value of one (1) = me (X-parrot).)

(And the problem with Psych in general is that it's pretty consistently a comedy - albeit a black one at times - and therefore leaves me craving angst and trauma and h/c and all that good stuff. Because I am a sick person.)

(An extra sick person, because did I mention those 11K words are dark-fic? Dammit, I won't even read death-fic. Why do I keep writing them?)

...

(Also, while I'm at it, last season's Brit Idol-style TV show 'Any Dream Will Do?' = (boys who can sing hugging + boys hugging while they sing + (boys hugging + boys singing)) x John Barrowman^{in glasses} = X-parrot's happy place. Awws! ...I just admitted to liking reality TV. I now go to commit ritual sacrifice on the altar of dramatic television.)

...

Rats. My hyaku-en watch just died. *sadface*

^^ We've started watching Psych--it's fun! MAK is especially gleeful about it, so I had to tell you and thank you for the recommendation. :)

Soooooo, how much does one have to have seen to read your fic...? (Ack, death fic, is it? Eep...?)

You're writing Psych fic now?

[is stunned silent]

*is scared of the Psych dark fic but will read it anyway as long as there is good fake vision swooning* Frankly, I'd just be excited to see any Psych fic of any substance. Most of what I've found is cute and short (not that that's bad). See, I keep writing Psych PWP (in my head), and I never read PWP, so I need to come up with a plot to stick the porn into. That sounds dirty. Anyway Psych fic! Yay!

I *love* that show! And the only channel running it up here in the great white north bumped it for some stupid reality show until they get new episodes. *cries*

I have been dying for more people to watch Psych. I felt like the first season was a little uneven somehow, I had such a terrible time liking Shawn because he was so obnoxious and I wasn't sure he was supposed to come off that way. But once the second season rolled around, it feels like the show has really found it's groove and it's practically become my #1 must-see show. (The other show that's fantastic right now is Burn Notice, which I am utterly entranced by.) I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who finds Shawn annoying sometimes but still loves him helplessly anyway. <3

*perks up* Fic?

Heh! I'm just about to jump on the Psych bandwagon, because I watched the first episode and really liked it, so I've borrowed season 1 from a friend on my whirlwind tour of the Ithaca and Boston area, and I'll start watching it when I get back to Fairbanks. Shawn and Gus are very cute; I can really see myself liking this show!

"Gap-toothed fangirl-devouring monster" ... heeeee! Sadly true.

I really feel like your fandoms and my fandoms are running neck and neck. From GetBackers and Saiyuki to Doctor Who and Supernatural, you're hitting them all. And now Psych. It's seriously amazing. And I LOVE it.
