"Honestly. No Entries For Ten Days, And Then Two Come Along At Once."
Slashers can be terribly obnoxious when their pairings of choice become canonical, and that makes me sad. I can understand that, if you tend towards the slash pairings, their being, er, canonised would be a rare event, and so I can understand being happy about it, and I certainly like the pairing in question myself, but still. Calm down a little, would you? (I'm not talking to any of you, friendslist; you can do no wrong. I was fairly thrilled myself, but then I wandered into a Jack/Ianto community and AAAAAAH THE SHRIEKING. THE SMUGNESS.)
Actually, I can't judge people for getting all fangirly over Torchwood, because I am fairly sure that it was created almost entirely to pander to the fangirls. (Also, give me a show with an almost-canonical and ridiculously hot slash pairing, and what do I do? I go and fall in love with Gwen/Rhys. There's just no pleasing me, is there?)
(WHY DON'T I LOVE TORCHWOOD? IT IS NOT FAIR. I WANTED TO LOVE IT SO MUCH. WILL NOTHING DOCTOR WHO-RELATED MATCH UP TO NINE'S EPISODES FOR ME? ALAS.)
On an utterly not-complaining note (which is nice), Oz and James's Big Gay Wine Adventure is absolutely charming. I think that all specialist programmes should include at least one presenter who knows next to nothing about the subject (or maybe the rule should be 'all specialist programmes should include at least one Top Gear presenter'), and I also think that any documentary that by its nature will have utterly drunk presenters half the time can only be a good thing.
I was going to try to list all the Insane Fanfic Ideas That I Really, Really Shouldn't Write, and then I realised that the evil fic-persuaders among you might use it as a reference list when trying to make me write ridiculous things, so I won't.

I would NEVER.
And you do realise that 'Gay' isn't part of the actual title, right :p? Although from the looks of it, it easily could be. Personally, I can not believe I've been watching a program that's actually about wine. I don't even like wine.
So is the Jack/Ianto pretty much accepted as canon then? Hee. Watch that be changed next week. And you haven't seen gloating over being right over a ship until you've seen the Harry Potter fandom.
But that's why I hardly have any fandom-related comms on my f-list. I still get the squee from the people on my f-list, but not the MASSIVE SPAMMING from the comms. And in the case of

I still haven't seen the first episode of it, alas. I can't believe I was daft enough to miss it.
I don't like wine, either - but, then again, I'm not that interested in cars. TOP GEAR PRESENTER PLUS ANYTHING EQUALS INSTANT GENIUS.

But Top Gear isn't about cars, it's about random destruction! I like random destruction! It's why I like Mythbusters! Not only does the Big Gay Wine Adventure (it is kinda catchy) pretends to be about wine, it IS about wine.

And Oz and his hangover! Oh, schadenfreude! He could not get up!

Will there be fanfiction?I did love him riding around on the tractor with that lady in the second episode, because I found it ridiculously adorable and I'm not entirely sure why.
I've seen the first episode - thank you for mentioning the link - and hee! This series is just so charming and lovely and I love it.

And also: mystical cosmic penis energy. *sporfles* I need to make some screencaps of that because there has got to be someone around who wants to make icons with 'mystical cosmic penis energy IN ACTION' on it. I mean, wouldn't you want an icon like that?
I now remember an article saying Top Gear was testing tractors next series. IT WILL BE HILARIOUS.

This has been a problem for me also. NOTHING CAN BETTER NINTH DOCTOR. *headdesk*
But I want to be an evil-fic persuader and try to make you write ridiculous things! Doooo the liiiiiiiist.

I think I just wanted an excuse to say 'carshaggery', really.

Have you ever considered Clarkson's possible relationship with that car in the adverts for the car I can't remember? The one that turns into a robot and starts dancing? Their eyes meet across a crowded room...
no subject
I AM NOT JOKING.
IT'S A CITROËN, RIGHT? I DON'T THINK HE WOULD BE A HUGE FAN BUT OH MY GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE MY MIND WOULD GO IF I SAW AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC CAR. I AM A LUNATIC AND YOU KNOW ME FAR TOO WELL.
