Things that make me happy

[norwich36]

#3: Work project from hell is FINISHED!! YAY!!!!

#2: I have a myspace page under a different name and Steve DeKnight just friended me back. Yes, I am a geek, because that makes me totally happy. Plus it means I can give him Smallville comments, since he's taken to only accepting comments from friends.

#1: The wonderful and amazing mskatej finished my birthday fic, and it is everything I hoped for and more! Just so you know, I requested twisted Mionel and/or Clex slave fic. And DAMN. She did BOTH. She wrote me a long, plotty, twisted, psychologically complex, and smutty story called The Hero of yesterday , which you should all definitely go read, and give her feedback, because she is the AWESOMEST!! Thank you Kate, you goddess of porn!

I just find he's got a bad strike rate. I did loooove Splinter, but I didn't find its greatness was in the writing so much as in the performances and the visual. But then, that's true of much of SV, not just SDK's work.

I guess part of my frustration is also that many people seem happy to fangirl him while slagging off Al&Miles. Not you, obviously! But I guess I think he's not the shining light that many people seem to hold him up to be. And I think Al&Miles deserve a fairer go. I just find fandom weird in where it throws its loyalties...

As I say, it really comes down not only to me finding his work average-to-below-par overall, but also to me finding his personality very grating. One of my irks with him regarding his discussions of the show is that he shows such obvious character bias--to Chloe over Lois, for example. I couldn't stick it out checking his blog--every second comment riled me. I'm glad to hear vicariously that he dealt with the Clana offensive calmly. Kudos to him for that--I just think I'll keep my distance and thereby my own serenity. As Becky would say, you can read it for me! ;-)

According to imdb, he also wrote Onyx, which was one of only two season 4 episodes I really *love*.

But you know, different strokes and all that. I wouldn't say that I fangirl him, precisely. It's just the celebrity thing: ooh, writer who worked on all three of my favorite shows has friended me! Sorry if that makes me shallow.

:-) Not at all--it makes you human, and me contrary! I'd be very excited if it was anyone but him. If Al&Miles friended me, for example, I'd be dancing around the room and would never shut up about it.

Me <<---weird fangirl

*g*

You enjoy it, hon!
