"The world is a mess, and I just need to rule it."
I am all over the place right now. I missed the deadline to finish the DWB fics that I owe ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arachne13 and loverstar. Sorry guys. : ( I got a little blocked, and a little distracted, but I'm working on them so they'll hopefully be finished by the end of the month. I'm having fun working on both, so y'all have a due South/SPN fusion and a S5 AU to look forward to.
I read Change of Heart by Mary Calmes and enjoyed it. As a young gay man—and a werepanther—all Jin Rayne yearns for is a normal life. Having fled his past, he wants nothing more than to start over, but Jin’s old life doesn’t want to let him go.
There's a little more to it than the typical alpha/beta stuff so it held my attention. Jin is an interesting character, and I wish that he could have his own story without all the genre constraints of an m/m romance. Once the tension of the will they or won't they passed, I did get a little less enthused, but the ending does clip along. The romance has a couple of twists but unfortunately does end up pretty typically. I thought it wouldn't fall into the cliche of dominate/submissive = masculine/feminine but all the build up came crashing back down after the main characters fell into bed. It's still worth a read if you're into the were-genre.
I get pretty bored at the whole mated trope when the couple then automatically and magically falls for each other. Maybe I'm missing the point, but I think it'd be so much more interesting if the couple still had to fall in love with each other like normal. If there was still the risk of ending up alone and miserable if the pair didn't put in the work with each other. I mean how much worse would it be to be mated to the one person that could fill the empty parts of your life and not be able to reconcile your differences because you're both to stubborn to compromise?
I don't like the idea of taking away a character's choice for their life. Just because you find a mate doesn't mean that everything else should or has to stop. I also don't like that the characters always just fall into bed and into each others lives. It's just not realistic or interesting and it's a cop-out to what could be interesting storytelling.
Joe Flanigan poster/banner for sale on ebay. There's about a day left in the auction, and I'd love to get it off my hands.
I still have the 2 Gold Tickets to the SPN LA con if anyone is interested.
I just watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog for the first time. I don't even know how I feel. I loved it though, and I need to download the soundtrack! : )
Also. Mark Sanchez. Who knew?
