It's official. I suck at finding communities on LJ. So please, if you know of any good Trek fic communities [and not the kink meme, cos I'm already all over that bitch] then please feel free to tell me.

kthx

Thanks! I'll check it out. Although I don't know when exactly I'll be reading in yet another fandom, as there's so much I haven't read in the ones I read now. Well, that's just Torchwood and (sort of) Being Human - although, to be honest, I hardly read any of the Being Human stuff, but I WANT to. But I'm really curious to read some Star Trek.

I was watching the first season of Ashes to Ashes the other night and was pleasantly surprised to see Russell Tovey pop up as a guest star who kisses another man. That was fun! I was going to post it as a "Kiss of the Day", but it wasn't on YouTube. :( But in looking for it, I ran across a show called "Annually Retentive" or something like that, that I hadn't heard of before, that Russell was also on. Kind of like Larry Sanders? Did you watch that? It looked good.

I am very selective about what I read. I'm dabbling in a lot of fandoms, but I don't commit myself to reading everything in them. I'm actually currently spending more time hanging around [livejournal.com profile] ontd_startrek and giggling at the macros and videos :)

I am aware of Annually Retentive. I really like Rob Brydon, who presents it, but didn't really watch it all that much. And I've stayed out of A2A from the start. I think it had all been done before with LoM personally. A2A was just a meta of the original for me. With added annoyance from Keeley Hawes. I can't explain it, but as soon as I hear her voiceover at the start, I start to seethe with rage. I've liked her perfectly well in other things I've seen her in. *shrugs*

I missed Life on Mars. It's on my list of things to watch one day.
A2A seems extremely nonsensical, to be honest, and I'm always on the fence about whether I want to keep watching it. I've only got 2 more episodes of the series to watch, so I may as well watch them all at this point.

I couldn't possibly read everything in any fandom (except Being Human I suppose). Basically I get the round-up newsletters for TW and Being Human and always look at those, but how much I actually read varies greatly, as does my tolerance for crap.

Life on Mars may have had its moments of tripped-out weirdness, but generally the whole thing hung together really well. It's an amazing show, but I'm also slightly biased in that I don't think there's ever been anything with John Simm in it that I didn't like. The man is one of my all-time acting heroes. I can't get enough of him. I think though with Ashes to Ashes, they took a concept that had already been done and did it to death. Which is a shame.

My tolerance for crap tends to diminish the less time I have. I've pretty much opted out of the TW fandom in its entirety due to the high degree of wank and the proliferation of what I consider to be OOC fic. I also tend to obsess hard about my latest fandom infatuations, so most of my older fandoms are languishing at the bottom of my list of priorities right now whilst I lavish my attention on Trek.

So you think A2A was basically unnecessary or just a retread. I loved John Simm in Dr. Who - I haven't seen him in anything else yet, which is why I want to see Life on Mars. TW fic: yes, there's ALOT of OOC, that's true. I started reading it a little over a year ago. I can't believe I'm still doing it! Is there a lot of wank? I see wankfests sometimes - this is the first fandom I've been involved with, so I have no basis for comparison.

I put this amazing K/S slash fan vid on my LJ - snagged from 51stcenturyfox - you need to watch it if you haven't already. http://alba17.livejournal.com/49736.html#cutid1
