Ambored.
1. Comment with any subject that you would like me to rant on, with possible swearing involved. any subject - I don't even have to agree with it.

2. Watch my journal for your rant.

3. Post this in your own journal, so that you may rant for others.

Conversely, gimme ficlet prompts. people, places, things. (and yes, RSR, I'm working on Jack/Cally, but I keep getting stuck).

Tell me all your thoughts on the inevitable Atlantis/Farscape crossovers.

hrm. I'm not really ranty about this. I may have to read a bad Atlantis/Farscape crossover...

Oh, god. The inevitability of this (which was already HIGH, considering the water, and the other galaxy thing) has grown, thanks to the casting of Ben Browder on SG-1. Probably.

I think 90% of these will be utter drek (I defy anyone to tell me 90% of all crossovers are good, damnit. The last one I read involving Atlantis had Shep declaring his undying and omgSAPPY love to Buffy frelling Summers. It was shit). They will all have Shep frelled by Chiana. Noranti and Teyla will have long discussions about the male of the species, and probably sex.

Beckett will constantly rant about Noranti drugging his patients.

John will mock the Wraith for their bad hair, and call them elves with teeth.

Do I think this will be good? No.

It will be bad. Most of them will be painful, because everyone will be SO trusting, and the Atlantis crew will tell John if he helps them find a ZPM (or Moya-equivalent), he can Go Home. So, omg YAY! for John.

There will be no touching on John's ptsd, lack of fit on Earth, etc. (the same could be said for some ofthe Atlantis people who have figured out they like their home away from home).

Simon will marry Lizzie.

Erm. My thoughts aren't all that bright, sadly.

And, until forced to think about it were like, "Uh... crossover? ok."

Of course Daniel is God. It scares me that anyone would think otherwise.

Why else would he get so many episodes that focus on solely him? Why else would he die and then come back to life?

Basically, Daniel is God because God must be bored up there, so he came down to do something. And since he never wants to interfere with free will (because his PR agent thinks free will is the best thing to happen to God since the fish and the loaves thing), he doesn't make any spectacular gestures.

He just does subtle stuff.

Like punishing people for pre-marital/casual sex.

(God, btw, has had a large influence on Buffy, which is why Sex Is Bad was their theme all seven years).

ps. my logic is so circular, it is pretty! And like a wedding band of doom.

*snickers*

Of course I did!

Thinking about Sam/Pete makes me ill, damnit! Oddly, Martouf/Sam makes me bittersweet and go, "Aww, cuuute." Narim/Sam makes me hope she'll bitch-slap his superior ass. Joe/Sam is also cute. Fifth/Sam is sick and twisted, but I also like it.

So it's not just that I don't like other guys with Sam (hello! I'm writing Shep/Sam!). It's just that Pete squicks me.

Ooh, this is a fun meme! I'll play. Let's see... How about bad fanfic? That's always a sure-fire rant topic. :)

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2005-01-28 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Someday, I may warm up to a massive rant.... However, in short:

Bad fanfic is like the grains of sand on a beach -- really fucking prolific.

In any fandom, you will find that 90% of the fic is bad. Even the people who are lauded as "omg! best writer ever!" are probably not that great.

There is so much bad fanfic out there, that someday, the internet will implode from the stupid.

How about an anti-Mary Sue rant?

Just add more sex where you get stuck on the Jack/Cally. Or snark. Can't go wrong with sex or snark. And don't let the innocent face fool you, Miss "I want a necklace made of your teeth" is capable of it.

He's still a Jackcicle. Somehow, I don't think sex is the first thing on Cally's mind. Although Vila is trying to rifle his pockets....

[identity profile] redstarrobot.livejournal.com 2005-01-26 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
La la la, I can't hear spoilers. :) Hrm, snark, then. And tell Vila to be careful and not snap off anything important before it thaws.

*laughs* Yes, dear. Jack would be very annoyed about that.

[identity profile] livilla.livejournal.com 2005-01-27 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, let's see... something ridiculous and cliche because annoying Jack should be an international sport.

Oooh! How about Why Laira Is Evil? Purely because you just did one on wjhy she's not. Every opinion has two sides.

Or, you know, Why The Earth Revolves Around The Sun And Daniel The God? Whichever works.

...ihateyou.

Laira.
Because she flirts so obviously with the man from Earth, yet never attempts to compromise for him. Yes, she gives him time. But it's only to be expected, as the end result is that she GETS IN HIS PANTS.

She uses the tried and true method of being womanly and (obviously) fertile.

Jack, of course, falls for this like any red-blooded American male born in 1952. Because in his head, women are still supposed to be there to have kids and cook and support him when he comes home from a day in the fields.

None of this ball-kicking, blowing shit up, science-geek stuff for him.

So, Laira is sweet and innocent, and an emotional woman who makes sweet smiles at Jack and lets him look at her legs whilst pretending he isn't there.
