Canon is my Crack and I Wants More

[meddow]

I’m bored. I am completely and utter mind numbing bored and there’s not much I can do about it and fandom, my usual refuge in these sort of situations, is not helping. All my fandoms either have ended or have no new canon coming for a while. Doctor Who until at least March and Heroes not at any point in the foreseeable future due to the strike. Though with trailers around for both and both look fabulous, but there have been no juicy spoilers for a while and trailers just won’t cut it since all they do is rub salt in the wound. I’m relying on the weekly Heroes graphic novels for all my fandom kicks. I really need some new canon.

I really want to see Cloverfield. Or drink a Slusho. The lack of an advertising campaign/cryptic references in random places advertising campaign has really worked on me. And, you know - Gigantic Monster. Attacks New York. I'm so there.

You know how I’ve been pretty anti the Doctor/Companion romances in New Who and was practically leaping for joy at finally getting a Companion that’s not going to have a crush on the Doctor. Well, I think Ten/Donna’s my current favourite Who ship. What is wrong with me? Promise me no romance and suddenly I want it.

And in cool fandom things on YouTube: A Fake trailer for The Company Man Movie. I want this to be a real movie.

So tonight it's been 'I want' 'I want' 'I want' and I don't think I'm going to get. But I'm an adult which means I'm allowed to behave like a petulant child. Okay, that’s everything on my mind for the evening. I think I shall return to acting on that Heroes plot bunny that’s be bugging me all week.

What about cracky crack Torchwood? Or do you hate that with the fire of a thousand suns? :P

[meddow.livejournal.com]

I don't quite hate it that much, but think that for me watching Torchwood is the equivalent of drinking lighter fluid because I can't find any booze. It's not out of the question, but certainly a last resort. (Love the icon BTW).

I watch Torchwood because it amuses me, basically. And because Captain Jack's coat is made of awesome.

[meddow.livejournal.com]

True. That coat is very awesome. The world would be a much better place if there were more guys who dressed up like 1940s military captains :)

You said it!
Hey do you know if there is an LJ Who group especially for New Zealanders? Because there seem to be a few of us, but none of us tend to know each other...

I know of but don't watch kiwi_ljs and I came across a few others months and months ago but I can't for the life of me remember what they were called.

[artic-fox.livejournal.com]

That's okay, just curious. I have a few kiwi Who fans on my flist, but we seem to be a rare breed, I think! Or otherwise, I just haven't stumbled across them!

[meddow.livejournal.com]

You're actually the only kiwi I've got on my flist. I just don't seem to stumble across kiwis at all. Though, funnily enough, I know a lot of Who fans IRL (though most of them I'm related to or converted myself).

[artic-fox.livejournal.com]

I'm the opposite. No Who fans at all in my life, and it sucks. Seems to be a few NZ Who fans through LJ. Weird how those things go! I'm probably just looking in the wrong places.

I really want to see Cloverfield too! It looks too cool too mysterious to miss. :D

You said a few months ago that you were planning to finish up some of your WIPs, including your Neville fic Growing. I enjoyed it a lot and I'd like to find out the ending.
