I have decided/realised that most of my problems with 'too many fandoms' could in fact be solved by not going looking for more fandoms. Concentrating on POTC, when it's in my head, instead of running out to get the new copy of Fables. Writing that Neverwhere bunny, instead of going to see what's on TV. And so forth.

However - pop culture tends to whizz past you if you don't keep on eye on it, sadly. And we're coming up on a fairly amazing week of Emmerdale. There will be explosions, and arguments, and deaths. And not of Matt or Carl King, because I have seen pictures of them clutching and crying in the rubble. Omg. I know spoilers. Jimmy is going to be hurt and may die, and Sadie is going to die, and Tom King will possibly collapse, and Carl and Matt are going to be left alone, frantically trying to cope with the mess and defend against lawsuits and hold the family together and cling to each other, and oh! My heart sings with it :)

Are you sure that your problems wouldn't in fact be solved by writing me some Soldier Soldier fic?

...possibly?

Oh emmerdale sounds MOST SHINY!

But if you did not distract yourself with new and shiny fandoms you would have to be all productive and involved in the latest one. Which would never do. Much better to be butterflyic and have all the initial joy with none of the actual looking at fandom and noticing it going ill. THIS IS MY THOUGHT.

IT IS SO SHINY! They are not even pretending that the love of Matt and Carl is not a thing of epicness and angst. It is great. And I have learned to love the other characters now too. There is Val. She is great. She is whorish but a great businesswoman, and offers young couples drapes in leopardskin and zebra print. I LOVE IT SO!

::kicks at your defences, subtly::

See, we both make very good points. HOWEVER, I would not necessarily be involved in the latest one as much as in one of my own very obscure ones for more than five minutes. So that when I hopelessly pimp it to people, I at least have fic to show for it. I am also slightly disappointed you did not do as Clare did, and attempt to use my fandom crisis to garner yourself some fic. For shame, Jk. For shame.

I AM SORRY FOR MY POLITENESS. Write me fic where Wade wears a sweater and is disgustingly attractive and annoys Craig. Those are fics that are SORELY LACKING ON THIS INTERNET THING and I mostly blame you. Hah.
