Firefly squee: a poll

[sophinisba]

Okay, I promise that any and all future Firefly posts of more than two lines will go under a cut. This one has to be above so the anti-Firefly contingent will notice and vote.

Right, so I'm currently halfway through gamerchick's DVDs, am filled with much love for almost all the characters, not to mention the writers, and I feel like telling the world. I wouldn't be watching the show if I hadn't so enjoyed watching Serenity last month, and I wouldn't have gone to see the movie if it weren't for the enthusiasm of several people on my f-list. A few of you have even written Firefly fic yourselves, and I'm very much looking forward to reading your stories once I finish watching the DVDs. However, a little bird told me that not everyone in "The Fandom" (um, let's say, the one with the hobbits) is as delighted with the Firefly-Serenity squee.

Rest assured, I will not be abandoning Frodo and co. But if I do want to say something about the hotness of Mal, the OTP-ness of Kaylee/Inara, or the MarySue-ness of River, how would you prefer that I proceed?

I love Firefly and the characters, so I have no problem, although LotRs, hobbits and Elijah in all his incarnations are still my true loves.

[sophinisba]

Oh, me too! Frodo forever! No spaceship crew is about to replace the hobbits in my heart!

Ok, you want me to choose an alternative...

I don't mind you squeeing over firefly, however, since I don't even know what it's about I cannot join in on your squee.

I'm releived your are not abandoning Frodo and co.

*clings to you*

Hee hee matching icons. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. Heck, I just got here a few months ago. I'm just trying to figure out people's feelings about mixing several fandoms in the same place.

I myself always get nervous when lotr fanfic authors I like start squeeing about Harry Potter and HP fic.

*hugs tightly*

If you're halfway through, you have probably now seen one of my two favorite episodes of Firefly, and that makes me happy. If you have, you will understand these two words: Special Hell

[sophinisba]

Yes, ma'am. I think that is my favorite episode so far. The writing in it was just amazing, and oh, so much love for Mal having to leave to do captain-y things, and also Wash, and also the scene with her and Inara omg squee.

I have lotsa fandoms but Elijah is my perv and LOTR is my passion. However, due to the word of mouth I am contemplating collecting and watching the TV shows... so fan on, babe. I am even going to give Harry another shot over my vacation...

*adds watch HP2,3,4 to list*

[sophinisba]

See, I think of it as a really positive thing. I know the people on my f-list have good taste, and I know a lot of them are Firefly-Serenity fans, so I've watched because of them, and it's been great. I've just heard rumors that the Firefly annoys some people. On the other hand, so none of those people have chosen to fill out my poll, so yes, I will fan on.

Picking the last one was me being silly, of course! :-D

[sophinisba]

The canon police are coming for me omg nooooooooo!!!!!

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

They've already come for me...:-D

[sophinisba]

If they throw me in jail with you and Lily and Frodo maybe it won't be so bad.
