Hmph.

Sorry to anyone I might have vanished on last night--AirPort decided to stop working for a while, randomly, which was unkind.

In a moment of weakness, my mind has tricked me into caring about canon shipping. (No, not in HP.) I am irritated. It's much easier to separate fanon and canon when your canon comes out once every three years rather than every week. I've just had a brief conversation with tea_and_toast that has resulted in my worrying about the love lives of people who do not exist and the careers of people I do not know. I feel this is a trick my mind is playing to keep me from obsessing about my own love life and career, but that doesn't make me feel much better.

I just want everyone to be happy. Is that so wrong?

And now if you'll excuse me, I have to write a lecture.

Heh, this is where I was last night and part of why I was all oh noes woe and despair when your Airport went craptastic. The more lingering problem with canonshipping, at least for me, is that if I'm not careful I think it really could taint my enjoyment of the canon. I mean, I'm not going to start "banning" Bruckheimer any time in the next little bit, but maybe that's just a matter of degree.

It's not shaping up to be a good season for my TV slash ships. First we find out that Clark's gonna nail Lana and now this. :(( *rends garments, etc*

Well, it's also easier when you aren't that much of a het shipper as the slash just isn't going to happen so I don't really worry about it. But I think this goes to show what CSI does well and what it doesn't. The Cath/Warrick I think has been handled really well all this time, even now. The Gil/Sara, as I've seen it in a big lump, has been so on and off and who knows what is happening that I'm not even sure the Gil/Sara people will be happy with it anyway. It's like the badly handled Mulder/Scully. I'm not sure why people play with this shit if they don't know how to deal with it. A HUGE pet peeve for me.

For me though, it's really about a mind adjustment, and remembering that oddly, what happens in canon doesn't change what I like in fic. And hey, it's not like I'm writing the stuff.

But even more than that it's the "oh, George, I worry" which like, I don't need to be worrying about yet another person at this moment.

Yeah, the big loser in all of this is the Greg/Sara. Also, though, I kind of want canon!Gil to be by himself - he just works like that, so well.

The other thing that I don't think I mentioned is that this season we're supposed to find out more re. Gil's background. I'm really looking forward to that.

The thing is, the fic that exists is just...well, not great. Or there's not enough that's really good. I find it a little frustrating.

And yeah, presumably, George has friends and family and business managers to take care of him. Easy there. *hugs*

Gil's background, that would be good. And I'm sure that when the shipping happens, it will either be satisfying or it won't be. My usual attitude is to just, you know, trust in the lord or whatever, which is how I manage an affect of not caring.

There is not enough fic that is really good. This is so. We should talk further about that so I can make that rec list. I forgot to vote in the contest because I am a forgetful thing, but some things were in the nominee list that I didn't think were very good. However, thanks to that I did find a kickass Sophia/Cath. The BDSM thing posting now is okay so far as it goes, and has the potential to be quite good, or could completely suck, as it is apparently going to be quite long, but each part that has been posted is relatively short. Ah, we do hate the WIPs. No trust, no trust.

Ugh, maybe I'm just ovulating. Or offsetting anxiety; I do a lot of that. it's like there are permanently butterflies in my stomach. Or I just wish I also had family and business managers to take care of me, or something.

Wait, wait! Has Cath/Warrick actually happened?? Oh please, oh please! (They're actually one of the few people I could ship on CSI - even if I don't actually watch it faithfully.)

see previous post with low down on season opener. though cwr wasn't what I was referring to; it was some gil/sara thing.

*makes note to do so* Thanks!
