Wasting time on a Saturday afternoon
Since I think that over the last three months I've probably discovered very nearly every SGA vid site out there, I decided to try something different and I've been searching for Lost vids this morning. It's darned near impossible to find non-ship vids, though. What I really wanted was some Jack/Sawyer -- I'd even happily settle for slash -- but man, this is a ship-intensive fandom, and a very het-intensive fandom as well. It's interesting to me how different fandoms fixate in different ways ... and obviously, the direction in which a fandom slants is also heavily affected by the nature of the show itself, and Lost is a very ship-heavy show. It's like apples and oranges to compare it to a show like SGA which has very little canonical ship at all. Still, I think I've been very lucky with SGA to have stumbled into a fandom, and specifically a very active subset of a fandom, that seems to groove on friendship and h/c as much as I do. I like Lost, but it's not my #1 crack of choice -- if it was, though, I'd be one frustrated fangirl, based on the last couple hours. Not that there aren't some good gen Lost vids out there ... but they're hard to find; you have to wade through a sea of ship vids.
And I don't want to give the impression that I'm categorically opposed to ship vids, or ship in general. Whether or not I actively seek it out, though, depends on the show. With Lost, not so much ... maybe because none of the couples grab me (except for Hugo/Libby ... *SOB*), maybe because the series offers plenty of het-ship so I don't feel the need to seek out fanworks for more.
During my Internet-free vacation, I did work on my next SGA story. Well, stories ... there are three of them. None are anywhere near ready to put up on ff.net, but one is actually getting pretty close to done with the first draft. I'll probably post some cookies soon.
EDIT: You know what else I'd love to find? Dead Like Me vids. I'm having no luck at all. If anyone has seen some, and can point me in that direction, it would be most appreciated!
