Off the bottom of my fin
Jan. 10th, 2008 08:56 pmOk, so there was a metafandom post, totally written in Engrish, about accepting constructive criticism in your fanfiction writing. I found the post understandable, and the concepts the OP presented were valid. I knew someone would start critiquing their grammar though, and of course, they did: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hendrickboom. I think it's great though (as it stands now; I guess he could edit it) that his comment has both spelling errors and he didn't format his italic tags correctly so I have no idea what the hell he's talking about in the last part. The internets makes me laugh sometimes.
Dr Who Update: My sister and I spent the rest of our Christmas vacation putting off watching Series Three. We finally finished it just last weekend, and I had really mixed feelings about it. I think that on the whole it was way too emo. I was worried, but I really liked Martha Jones, and I love the fact that she saved the world. But I didn't like her for the Doctor, and I didn't really feel like their was a lot of on screen chemistry... I mean, she said all the time that she loved him, but I never felt that I saw burning, unrequited passion and wept for her loss or something. I think Rose is kind of a twat, and I don't think that she would or could save the world like Martha did, but I do believe that she loved the Doctor. Maybe it's because I think the Doctor was a dick in this series, so I can't imagine him being appealing? Especially to someone as savvy as Martha. And on that note, some spoiler-y comments below.
I'm going to bitch about some more specific instances of what I mean by "being a dick." What was the deal with the old hooker that the Doctor falls in love with when he's human? If that's his taste in ladies... again, Martha, what are you thinking? I also was a little off-put by Jack's return. I mean, I'd read somewhere that there was a "reason" that he was left behind, and basically the reason is that the Doctor is a jerk and Jack's "wrong" now that he's immortal? And I appreciate the fact that the Doctor is usually a pretty laid back, anti-violence guy, but Lucy was right to shoot the Master... it made the Doctor look desperate and pathetic that he'd rather have a completely evil, psychopathic Time Lord around than be the last Time Lord. Like I said, too emo. Series Three Doctor is too full of angst. Well, I think Nine was full of angst, but it made him edgy and hot somehow, and Ten just ends up reminding me of a whiny teenager.
Ok, no more spoilerage.And you know, this is just me running off at the mouth. I still love Dr Who, and I could probably be convinced I was wrong on some counts, this isn't some kind of fantastic meta that I've been agonizing over for weeks. This is me trying to type off the top of my head (bottom of my fin?) in between my kid and cat tearing the house apart and doing 500 other things.
