So I've been indulging in an orgy of fanfic reading the last couple of days.  Veering wildly back and forth between J/7 and T/7.  Today I'm on a T/7 kick and reading old favorites from Perfect Misfits, Lisa Countryman's site and VJB.  The nostalgia is pwning me hard.  *sighs*  I need to find a new fandom or something.  It's too depressing reading stuff that was written in 2000 or even 1999 (last century zomg), knowing that some of them will never be completed, or that there'll never be a sequel, or that the heyday for this particular pairing/fandom is long past.  Blah.  So yes.  New fandom.  Any suggestions, people?

In WoW news, I totally tamed Loque'nahak today!  I've been stalking him all week.  For those of you who don't know, Loque'nahak is a rare elite cat that spawns in Sholazar Basin.  He's incredibly hard to track down because of the sheer number of people wanting to tame him or even kill him (for the achievement).  I almost died from excitement when he spawned only 20 or 30 yards away from where I was sitting.  There was a random pally nearby and I thought he was going to grab him, but I tagged him first.  By the time I found my "tame beast" button, he was almost half dead because I'd been in such a frantic hurry to tag/shoot him, lol.  Anyway, here is a pic of my new kitteh along with my friend broken_faerieNyy, who also recently tamed Gondria (another rare elite).  Mine is the less ghostly looking one.







So now I have a dilemma.  Originally I was going to name my new pet "Huntress" (and then name a bird pet "Black Canary" - after the DC comic heroines :D), but this cat just doesn't look like a girl cat.  I have a billion female names but I can't think of any names that would suit a male cat other than "Stormy".  So... what should I name him?

You need to bug [livejournal.com profile] gorynna to write you new VOY fic :D That said, I wouldn't be surprised if VOY gets a bit of a resurgence thanks to the renewed interest in Trek that's come from the new movie. Sure, most of the people are reboot-only and will be gone as soon as the next fandom of the moment comes along, but there are other people (like me!) who have been drawn into the franchise as a whole, and they'll be sticking around for longer, and quite probably boosting the VOY fandom when they get up to that series :) Fingers crossed, anyway!

(Besides, you know that I'd only go and recommend TOS to you if I were to recommend a fandom, and that sucks when it comes to femmeslash.)

Hmm, she did mention she had a post-Endgame fic in the works. *casts hopeful glances her way*

Your words do inspire some hope, but I can't help but feel that the Voyager fandom's glory days are over. :( It's sad to click on links to old sites and see them disappearing one by one. But yes... resurgence. Hopefully there will be one! *crosses fingers*

Hmm, do you have any good TOS fics to rec? And by good, I mean EPIC.

I can't wait till you get to Voyager and fall madly in love with it. :P

The glory days probably are over, yes, but don't give up hope entirely *g* What they need to do is make a Voyager movie, to drag all the n00bs into that verse ;)

Ah, no TOS recs, no. For all it's being the oldest slash fandom, it doesn't have a very high calibre of writing :/ I'm sure it's largely that I haven't stumbled upon the right stuff, yet, but there's really nothing I'd rec so far.

If you're at all interested in a K/S reboot fic with TOS references, this is probably the best fic I've read so far.

Omg, I would DIE for a Voyager movie. But Kate Mulgrew (Captain Janeway) and the other cast members are getting pretty old now, and I can't see TPTB agreeing to make one, especially with the reboot having been so successful - they'll probably just make a sequel to that instead. Oh! but maybe they'll do like a reboot Voyager, in which they never got home and are still in the Delta quadrant and Endgame never happened and... *dreams on*

I'll check out that link. Thanks! I'm not usually into m/m, but I'll give it a try. :)

How about Toby? He reminds me of a targ even though I've never seen one that I can recall. Did they ever show B'Elanna's stuffed one on the show?

I always thought targs were more dog-like than cat-like. I don't remember ever seeing a stuffed one on the show.

And dude, I haven't seen you around in forever. How are ya doing?

Date: 2009-07-06 11:23 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pebblin.livejournal.com
Well, probably... I don't recall seeing one, either, or I probably wouldn't have suggested it. How about Tika? Isn't there a Tika cat on some show? Or Matika, like the spider on that Jungle to Jungle movie that kept scaring the piss out of everyone NOT born in a South American jungle.

I know! Where you hangin' out, man? I'm doin' alright, can't complain too much at the moment. How you doin'?

Tika is just not epic enough for this cat. And the only Tika I know is a freckly redheaded barmaid from the Dragonlance books... so no. :P

I've been on skype and even AIM pretty regularly. Where are YOU?

I rather like Uziel but it reminds me of either a gun or an angel.. not sure which yet. Osiris doesn't fit with the Viking naming theme. A Norse god would be better. :P

The kitteh doesn't feel like a Loki... I never liked him anyway, in the myths. :) Got any female Norse gods for me?

I came across a name of nordic islands - Faeroe seems gender non specific not sure of the meaning but thought it might fit

Oh hai! I don't know you, but I recognise some of your friends from VJB. Do I know you from there? :) I will take Faeroe into consideration with the other Norse names. Thanks!
