posting from work, because... I work in a friggin' CAVE. if I can't do random shit on the computer while the program I'm using thinks I have no perks whatsoever.
(in no particular order)
The Boondocks. okay, I'm going to hell for shipping fifth graders, but Huey and Caesar? I adore them. Caesar is the only one who puts up with Huey, and even though he doesn't give a shit about half of the stuff Huey's obsessed with, he still sticks around. when they get into college they should become roommates and date. (...no, I didn't steal that plotline from Friendly Hostility. why do you ask? ~innocent~)
speaking of which...
Boy Meets Boy. the way it should have ended, instead of that stupid Skids-moves-to-NY nonsense and ARGH RONNIE. I need there to be a fic where Apollo joins the Log Cabin Republicans and proposes to Tybalt, who of course accepts because GOD THEY WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER, and Skids goes back to rescue Cyanide from the hell of heterosexuality with Ronnie. oooooh do I ever hate Ronnie. (no it is not because she stole my name. again, why do you ask?)
also, Friendly Hostility. because while I appreciate the fact that my OTP is actually canon, I want Fatima/Amanda porn. just because. and also a permanent threesome among the Maharassa parental conglomerate, because... honestly I can't even tell who's sleeping with whom anymore. bonus points if it's sparked by the Betsy Sri'vastra episode.
Circle of Magic books, by Tamora Pierce. okay, the second series SUCKED SO HARD, but the Empress book was really good, and DAMMIT YOU CANNOT LEAVE US HANGING LIKE THAT. I need need need Briar/Tris. because the geek girl should get some ass for once. and Sandry/Daja, because if Daja is going to be a lesbian then dammit she should be sleeping with Sandry. oh, and while we're at it? Lark/Rosethorn. no way do they get to be hooked up without a backstory.
Shakespeare. well, in general, because he rocks, but also THE SLASH POTENTIAL IS ENDLESS. Hamlet/Horatio! Benedick/Claudio! boy!Viola/Orsino! Sebastian/Antonio! more permutations of Helena/Hermia/Demetrius/Lysander! Oberon/Puck! Brutus/Cassius! Mercutio/Benvolio! it makes me sort of sick to think of it, but Edgar/Edmund! and much more! (especially if you've actually read all the plays. because I sure haven't.)
Jane Austen. mostly Pride and Prejudice, because oh god, I cannot be the only person who saw the most recent movie version, with the scene where Bingley is practicing proposing to Jane on Darcy, and melted. but there's a lot of femmeslash potential out there, too. and I'm just generally in love with Jane Austen.
Gokusen. okay, maybe there's a fandom in Japan that I don't know about, but there is almost NO FIC in English. and I support Shinkumi to the fullest extent of the law (which is to say, WAIT UNTIL GRADUATION YOU CRAZY KIDS), but. Shin and Uchi. and their crazy friend who got expelled. so much potential there. and second season! Ryu and Keita. I mean, come on. talk about self-sacrifice. if Ryu didn't get any "thank you" sex out of that, well, he deserved some. I haven't written it and I probably never will, but there's a fic floating around in my head about chibi Ryu and Hayato fighting over who gets to marry Keita when they grow up. save me from myself, people, and write Gokusen 2 fics.
Gakuen Heaven. it's a shitty anime and I admit it, but I wanted the artist and the archery guy to hook up so bad it hurt. GIVE ME FIC WHERE THEY HOOK UP. haha, and King&Queen with their respective henchmen. because any two people who bitch at each other that much must have UST or bad-breakup-vibes somewhere.
Kizuna. well, I'm only about 3 volumes in because BeBeautiful (I HATE YOU BEBEAUTIFUL) charges about $18 per book, and they do shitty work. but Kai and Masa. oh, Kai and Masa.
Love Mode. okay, mostly what I wish Love Mode had is a fandom that speaks grammatical English. but also there needs to be more Kiichi and Haruomi. and also Rin and Ian, because their eternal bitchfest warms my heart. hell, I would settle for Jin/Katsuki if it were only well-written, and I hate Katsuki from the bottom of my heart.
Neil Gaiman. all right,
puzzlebleuink satisfied my Selim/djinn cravings, but still. more Death fic would be awesome. and slash involving the Four Motorcyclists of the Apocalypse, because I love them.
THE ILIAD. we're talking OLD SCHOOL here, people. tragic love affairs that end in death and suicide-charges. WHY IS THERE NOT MORE WRITTEN ABOUT ACHILLES AND PATROCLUS.
The Aeneid. okay, Aeneas/Achates just makes me smile. I got nothing more for you.
Classical history. so much potential for insanity! Hadrian and Antinous, before Antinous took a header into the river! Nero being a nutjob and GETTING MARRIED IN A DRESS! Alexander and Hephaistion (awwwwwww)! what the hell, Clodia-with-a-strap-on/Catullus (it could so happen)! Classicists, we have a duty here that we're clearly neglecting, because with all the crazy shit the ancient Greeks and Romans got up to, there should be more ENTERTAINING STUFF written about them!
The Tyrant Who Fell in Love. mostly because I'm convinced I'm the Morinaga to
imbrilim's Tatsumi, and it amuses me to watch them flail.
The Daily Show/The Colbert Report. I'm pretty sure there was a "Stephen Colbert and John Stewart get married in Canada" backstory in one of the first SPN fics I read (maybe SPN? all I remember is that there was a newspaper article about SC and JS), but that's the most I've seen. and I want them to get together. I realize that this is just my crazy fangirl brain talking, but what the hell, it's the internet. if I want fiction about two heterosexual married dudes hooking up I should be able to get it.
Me/Jensen Ackles. seriously, people. there's plenty of fanfic about Jensen Ackles out there. all I want is one fic where he hooks up with me. I could do with some getting laid, even if it's just fictional.

I don't know how on earth they could have created a character that charismatic. Ever.

Date: 2007-05-09 09:04 pm (UTC)This has context, actually. See, I was reading this article on Much Ado in which some critic was talking about how it's the gayest of the comedies, and obviously they didn't mean it like THAT, but, well, Robert Sean Leonard plays Claudio in the Branagh, and I just watched him on House last night, in which plays Wilson and is TOTALLY GAY (in the sexual sense) with House ALL THE TIME. And then I remembered that scene in Much Ado where Benedick shoves Claudio against the wall and hisses threats in his ear, except I pictured it with Hugh Laurie doing the shoving instead of Branagh. And then my brain exploded. And there was gay. And then I told my ex-girlfriend about it and she almost died of the AWESOME.
Also, ANTINOUS. YES.

Date: 2007-05-09 09:31 pm (UTC)um, okay, so you know the scene where Claudio is going on and on about Hero and Benedick keeps dissing her. HE'S TOTALLY JUST JEALOUS. "Leonato's short daughter!" my butt. he's definitely sulking inside about how he's taller and therefore obviously much better. and prettier. which he is, because, hello, Robert Sean Leonard.
...when I watched Much Ado again last summer after being introduced to House, I almost died of squee.
