That's the second night in a row.

Seriously, WTF.

100 Questions: 91-100

91. How many times do you day-dream about them in a day/a week? It really varies - I go through stages of "thinking" of all three of the couples. I might spend one week mulling over the greens, the next few days on the blues, the next week on the reds... It's not an easily quantifiable number. I can say throughout the course of my day I notice the most brainstorming while driving to and from work, and often in the couple of hours I have before lunch during the workday.
92. Do they have a theme song? :\ Um, I guess I have a certain playlist I like to listen to... but I created that specifically for TEF. It tends to be anything from emo to punk to pop punk to the Ratatouille soundtrack (to put me in a "Cooking with Buttercup" mood) :D
93. If they were separated forever, what would be the reason? Death at old age? or when they're young for some reason? They act like idiots and never grow up nor acknowledge in the slightest that they feel anything for each other. Much more likely to happen when they're younger than when they're older.
94. Is their relationship as unstable? Or steady? Always (mentally) unstable. I can see it growing into something steady if and when they finally come to terms with their feelings for each other.
95. Please tell us your favorite scene about the two. I haven't written it yet, but you will see it, I promise you :)
96. Has this ship expanded your world? How? It hasn't expanded my world so much as provided me with an endless playground to frolic in. When I get in the groove of it, I love exploring each and every facet of their relationship and what makes them tick, especially in regards to each other. As for whether exploring their relationship has expanded my world view, my honest answer is no, because what I learn and experience myself expands how I interpret and play with their relationship. If that makes sense.
97. How would you promote your ship to those who does not know/like it? That's silly. I'm not going to say OMG YOU MUST LIKE THIS SHIP HERE IS WHY. I like what I like and others like what they like. I think the best way to promote the ship you support is to try and write meaningful, well-written fic that everyone can enjoy. It shouldn't be the ship that drives the fic, but the fic that drives the ship. Ugh. That sounds disgustingly rhyme song-y.
98. Do you think this pair will dominate (the fan-world, for example) someday? Um, they already do. Unfortunately, most of the fan-media involving the couple is fucking terrible.
99. Until when do you think you will be devoted to this ship? Well, it's almost been a decade. Till I grow out of it, perhaps?
100. Finally, please give us one last comment about the ship. This is for the fandom. Put thought into what you create. Writing fanfic is very much about, well, masturbation, in a way (to put it bluntly), which is why it often comes out laughably unsatisfactory (and terrible). The side of it that people forget all too often is that you have not only the opportunity to create something meaningful out of how you interpret the character, but connect with other people who feel the same way. Fandom is a dialogue, an open forum for you to study brilliant characters and further understand them through what they inspire you to create. And, better yet, oftentimes personal growth (whether it's through fanart or fanfic) is the result of handling it with such care.

Put thought into what you create. For the sake of fandom (PLEASE, because I could really use some good PPG/RRB fic guys), but mostly for yours.

In regards to the greens, though, I've pretty much said all I've felt the need to already :P

Alright, that got sappy towards the end. I guess from here on out I'll have to post factoids about TEF every week to try and stay active (and get me to write!).

Thoughts? Am I taking fandom too seriously? Does someone out there have good fic for me? Besides peccavi's, who is the only one who has updated recently. I've just been too lazy to review :(

[livejournal.com profile] go_google_me, where is your smut? SADFACE.

Awww. I loved this meme. ♥'s and all that jazz.

HOMG. I may even take a crack at greens fic because of this. Hmm. Not that I can promise it'll be any good. Well ...not as good as yours, of course.

PS: IWILLNEVERSTOPFLATTERINGYOU. 'specially not when you deserve it...

Don't worry jen, I have fic for you. I just want it to be a little bit more polished before I post it. :) Fear not, the smut is coming!

Ignoring the flattery. But thank you.

LET'S SEE SOME FIC :D

I may continue on and do the blues and reds. It forced me to really think about how I interpret the characters, and clarified some things for me that ultimately made me want to write more :O
