Psychiatrists will have a name for it...

Sooooo... after whingeing about the remix/redux, I've now written nearly 3,000 words for it. And I've got maybe another 2,000, tops, to go. Yeah. Weird. Because I found an X-Men fic on this writer's lj, and it's totally my preferred ship for that fandom (Wolverine! Rogue! Yes!), and hers is written from Rogue POV, and Wolvie's always been my favourite to write, so... yeah. Huh. Note to self: don't whinge before examining all the options.

On the other hand, it's been a long, long while since I last wrote Wolverine/Rogue fic, and I hadn't really felt the need to write any more (I kinda said all I wanted to say about the one relationship that interested me, in one of my fics). Whereas I don't feel so... finished, with Stargate. But hey. I love and adore my snarky Wolvie. He's so grumpy.

What is it with me and grumpy men? *looks pointedly at boyfriend* Surely this should not be an attractive feature? Hm.

Some of my crushes to date:

• Robin of Sherwood (did a good line in pouting and looking through his bangs)
• Jareth from Labyrinth (King Grumpy)
• Rochester (classic grumpy)
• Mr Darcy (ditto)
• Bryan Adams (er... more 'bland' than 'grumpy' - but sounds fairly bad-tempered from his biography *thoroughly embarrassed*)
• Raistlin from the Dragonlance books (grumpy through to downright bwahahaha-this-world-is-mine!mine!miiiiiiine! evil)
• Howl from Howl's Moving Castle - the book, not the film (Expresses His Feelings With Green Slime)
• Fox Mulder (hmm. Not overwhelmingly grumpy. But prone to bouts of sarcasm)
• Adam Ant (did a song called 'Here Comes The Grump'. Diagnosed bipolar, or something along those lines)
• Wolverine (grumpy to the factor of 10)
• Jack O'Neill (grumpy-cute)

...oh for crying out loud. You know, maybe it's not me. Maybe all men are grumpy.

My Logan/Rogue stuff is sort of a combination of movieverse and comicverse. I saw the movie before I read any of the comics (I've never been hugely into comics), but I do agree that movie Rogue is too young. Big squick. The stuff I wrote was generally a few years down the line, when she's grown up, and sometimes had a few of the comicverse experiences (like getting the invulnerability). Whereas Logan, of course, doesn't get any older... :)

Tanis... he's the half-elf, right? Yeah, he was cool, too - just not Dark Side enough for me. *g* I loved them best as a group - Caramon, Raistlin, Tanis, whatsisname the Kender, the knight bloke (Sturm?), the pair from... thingy... the woman who Tanis had a thing with... okay, yeah, it's been a while. And I may be mixing some of it up with David Eddings' Belgariad / Mallorean.

There was a Dragonlance short story about those incredibly stupid gnomes in a mountain that had me in stitches, though. And I seem to remember Raistlin having some weird time-travel one-off affair thing with a... troll? Or am I imagining that? *frowns*

Whenever my friend went on holiday, she used to send me postcards with news of Raistlin. And I think once I even got a postcard from the man himself. *g* Or it might have been from thingy, D-something, his elven apprentice... Damaris? Darren? Deltoid? Whatever his name was.

Me? Geek? Naaaaaaaaaaah.

Lists! I like lists. Although I did miss off a few important crushes, but nevermind. Write yours, then your flist can work out your brand of psychosis! ;)

I used to have a Logan icon, but Jayne will have to be close enough now. : (

I'll have to check out your X-Men fic then. It has to be good because I love your Stargate fic. : )

I used to love the Dragonlance books. I think I read all of the ones about the original Companions. I still break out my Annotated Dragonlance Chronicles every once and a while and reread them. I didn't much care for the sequels that came out about their children though. The combination of the originally was just so great. I guess it's kind of like not being able to enhoy the 'new' SG-1. It's not what I originally fell in love with.
