So I've been trying to find some new books to read, i've been mooching round book review sites and the like, and then I mooched over to Amazon to look at some of the 'my list' things, to see if that got anything.
In a 'my list' of fantasy novels, if someone recommends Twilight, I will hit the back button without hesitation. I know they may recommend some other good books (indeed, they have) but I can't get past my distaste for everything about Twilight. At first it was fairly irrational, but then I made myself actually read some of the books, because to dislike them without even trying them is just kindof wrong imo, but yeah, having actually read them, I can safely say I am firmly rooted in my distate (i do hesitate to say hatred) of them.
I find it hard to fathom that people on my English course read and like them. I...just....no.

One of the things I love about large fandoms, is noticing the trends and cliches which crop up in the fic.
I can't think of many examples right now, but one of the big ones I've noticed while mooching around Star Trek is the popularity of always-been-a-girl!characters, I mean like girl!kirk/mccoy girl!mccoy/spock and the like. It's a bit odd imo, but yeah, helluva lot of it.
I dunno why I find it so interesting, it just really intrigues me, in the whole cause-or-effect question, is it the fandom or the fans which bring up such trends or cliches?
...Is it just me?

It was in that stupid bar at the side of groups like 'relevant groups' or something. I was on a group my friend made for our house next year. HOW IS MASSIVE TORCHWOOD SPOILERY GROUP CONNECTED TO OUR HOUSE NEXT YEAR.

So, I've not watched ANY of Torchwood yet. I'm waiting until my Daddy has enough free time to sit down and watch it AAAAAALLLL with me. This means....probably tonight.
I AM EXCITED AN COMPLETELY UN-SPOILT. YA

Some people have absolutely no sense of humor.
Recent examples which prompted this (shocking(!)) realisation include:
- People on the internet who fail to see things from a funny or even lighthearted side, and choose instead to get offended and SRS.
- My Uncle (not the awesome uncle, but one from my Dad's side, who married the wicked-bitch-of-the-west and then proceeded to produce spawn with it) who has for some insane reason added myself, my brother and my parents on facebook, and proceeded to comment on every last thing. His comments fail to see the humor in other people's comments, and instead seemed to be designed to show off some aspect of his life. Usually his 'intellect'. Which, frankly, just comes off as him being an arrogant tosser. Also, I have the deepest urge to comment to his status updates with "YAWN" because, really. But I think he'd just think I was being ironic or something. No David, no.
