Meddow's Adventures in Fanfic

[meddow]

So the season three of Heroes sneak peek looks spectacularly awesome. Certainly the volume is living up to its name – HRG, Angela, Elle, Bob and Sylar (all of whom I would place in the Heroes rouge gallery) + loads of new villains. I think the show has figured out what the people want (and by ‘people’ I of course mean me). Add some shirtless Petrelli brothers and all the crummy plotlines of last season shall be forgiven. Though will somebody please end the strike so I don’t have to wait until September or later.

In Who related stuff, I’ve been trying to find good Donna fic lately, which is hard. Seems her role in fandom is an enabler of or spectator to Ten/Rose or Ten/Martha (though, oddly enough, not Ten/Jack or Ten/Master) and not as an actual character worthy of her own storyline or perspective. *Sigh*

Back to Heroes again, I’ve also been trying to track down some good HRG fic, and there is a bit of it out there, and I really like Sandra/Bennet. Since Cautionary Tales they’ve been my Heroes OTP. I’m not sure if ‘messed up’ really describes it, it’s kind of Arthur/Molly crossed with Molly/Snape (does that exist?). Though there’s not a lot of that in existence. And, unfortunately, I can’t seem to get my head around Bennet/Anybody not Sandra since he seems to be the least likely character on TV at the moment to cheat on his wife. What with the whole guilt issues of him endangering and memory erasing his family, I hardly think he’s going to add to the mess with infidelity. Plus, dude is loyal to his family, it’s his defining characteristic and greatest redeeming feature. The exception for this mental block for me is the very rare pairing of Bennet/Nathan since Claire’s two alpha dog daddies it is a bit too much to resist. And I once read a rather brilliant piece of Bennet/Sylar.

Anyway, would people be interested in me reccing the good stuff I find?

Thanks for that! I saw it this morning on my flist, but didn't have time to read and probably would have forgotten about it. And I've been working on a rec post, but I've still got to track down the links to what I've read (I badly need to develop a bookmarking system). I'll get it up later tonight or tomorrow.

I have a beautiful bookmarking system, especially for fic because if I didn't, I'd never find anything! It's all done by fandom then ship. So Doctor Who has got subsections of 'Donna/Doctor', 'Martha/Doctor' 'Rose/Doctor', 'Jack-centric' and 'general'. LOL. I WIN AT GEEKDOM.

Looking forward to your recs. It is heartening to see a few Donna communities on LJ.

Here they are (http://meddow.livejournal.com/95553.html). There's only five since there's so little Donna fic out there. I complain, but I can't seem to come up with any Donna plots myself, so I really shouldn't.

And great bookmark system! I'm totally stealing it ;)

Thanks for the link. And you're welcome to the bookmark system! I also have a 'fic recs' section, and 'fics to read' section. Because as I said, me = geek.

BTW, do you know anywhere that streams DW? (such as TV links used to?). I am thisclose to getting a friend addicted and this is the final step :P

I think the BBC streams Doctor Who these days, but it's useless if you live outside of the UK. Besides knowing of places you can download the episodes rather than stream, I can't really help I'm afraid.

Yea, I'm in the same boat. Thanks though :)
