Unpopular Fannish Opinions Meme

Gacked from cybermathwitch.

I'm not entirely sure I actually have any properly unpopular fannish opinions, but I can give it a go. (And if it looks like I stole a couple of these from cybermathwitch and joyshine, well... there is a reason we are friends, yes?)

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer was first and foremost a metaphor for "High School is Hell."  It should have ended with Graduation (season 3).
• The Sex-to-Plot ratio in the Anita Blake novels really started to get on my nerves.  Now, the sex WAS the plot for the Merry Gentry books, in a wholly organic not-at-all contrived kind of way -- so it didn't bother me.      That said, I really adore Laurel K. Hamilton as an author, and I don't get the point of susposedly being in the Fandom for the sole purpose of bashing her.  Geez, people.  If you really hate it, go read Sherillyn Kenyon.
• Disney retelling myths, fairy tales and legends is every bit as valid as Shakespeare using the story of Pyramus and Thisbe as a basis for Romeo and Juliet.
• The Magician's Nephew was frickin' BOOK SIX people.  Children are not too stupid to understand the concept of "back story" -- although apparently some grown ups are.  (I am so right there with you, joyshine .)
• I will read a whole lot of pairings in Harry Potter that make other people squick like WHOA.  BUT -- incest and cross-gen REALLY bother me.   Won't do it.
• I keep meaning to watch more Supernatural, Dr. Who, BSG, Torchwood, etc... and well -- I really like them (particularly BSG and Dr. Who) but I can't be arsed.  I don't watch much TV.
• I really LIKED HBP.  So there.  I'm gonna go see it again too, see if I don't.

So... what are your unpopular fannish opinions?

Banging Big and NaNoWriMo

Okay, so there's another Big Bang going (actually you can't swing a crup without hitting one on LJ these days) -- this one's called the Harry Potter Big Bang, but near as I can tell you aren't restricted by primary character or pairing, so long as you're in the HP universe.

I am really, seriously considering dusting of "Those of Great Ambition" (Nextgen, with Lily Luna as the primary character) and going for it. It's never been published or posted anywhere, so I'm pretty sure it isn't cheating. See, ToGA (toga! Tee hee!) was my NaNoWriMo project last year. It's currently 50,033 words of unfinished fic -- and probably at least 25K of those words are salvageable. The HPBB only has to be 15K, so as long as I actually finish the bloody thing, I'm golden.

I've lost my mind, haven't I?
