I feel I should say that the end of last night's episode of Numb3rs has made me start writing another CSI:NY AU. This is fun!

...in a, uh, depressing sort of way. Everything's tilted a few degrees to the left.

Okay, but I mean, seriously? That was a cop. That was the way to pay tribute to a dead friend. I mean, most of the ep was just okay, but the end? Oh God. Except for Don getting lucky, but oh, God. That is it. Jesus Christ.

I'm a giant fic ho, I'll admit it. I adore reading fic, plain and simple. I like original stuff more, mind you, but fic has a totally different purpose behind it, which is why I like it so much.

I always want to write longer stuff, but I usually lose interest in whatever I'm writing after a couple of days, so it's usually best for me to write a 5k word fic in a day or two, or something shorter. I do the NaNoWriMo for the same reason (www.nanowrimo.org).

Hey, hey, I KNOW ABOUT COLLEGE. *hint hint?*

:)

Yeah, it's always nice when you can write fic and then shift it over to OC if you decide to.

The interesting thing is that with a lot of fic, I don't know the original canon too well, and with originals, I tend to read series, so they kind of blur together in my head. Er, yes, I'm aware I probably have issues.

I do NaNo! This year was my fourth one, I think -- I wrote my original, Dangerous Heroes, which I need to make less of a rip-off of the fic I'd like to write.

Er. But I don't know what I need to know!

I try not to read fic unless I know the canon that it's based on well enough to understand the entire thing.

I adore NaNo... I'm the ML here in Ottawa. Someday, I'll get something good enough to publish out of it, I hope.

I was kidding... you have school and stuff to focus on :D.

So I'm just weird then. *nods* I have actually read whole fandoms where I've never seen the source material at all (Buffy). Yay for the Internet! Usually I just doublecheck the characters, enough of the canon to figure out what's happening -- the basics of what you need to know.

If a fic is going to be good enough to make me want to read it without knowing the canon behind it, I'll download some of the eps to watch, so I can understand :)
