I’ll punch you in the head

[skoosiepants]

* Hermione is not well-loved. This makes me sad, because she can be totally cool if written correctly. Do not get me started on canon vs. fanon, because while I love her world, I do not particularly love JKR. Yes, that is possible.

* Panic!Fic is short, but longer than I expected it to be for just getting my feet wet. I picked Brendon as a pov, because I figured he was like Seamus, only less Irish and more gay. Yes, that is totally possible.

-- I keep using the phrase "punch you in the head." Mainly from Spencer. I feel this is justified.

-- While I can slash just about anybody in Panic!, I'm writing what I've seen very little of.

-- When I'm done, I'm probably going to need a character-checker, at the very least. It's not detail-heavy, though, because I'm not immersed enough in their lives.

Brendon was settled on the opposite side of the room from Spencer, legs pulled up and hands wrapped around his knees. Spencer was eating cereal.

“What’re you doing?” Ryan asked, looming over him.

“Spencer-watching.”

Ryan arched his eyebrows.

“I’m giving him his space,” Brendon clarified, and then Spencer raised his voice and said, “If you don’t stop staring at me, I’m going to punch you in the head,” without looking away from the TV.

* I need bandslash icons, now.

* Also, I've got all of The Black Parade in my head. The whole thing. On one continuous loop. I'm not complaining, it's just strange.

*grins* That's why smart people like me latch on to you readers and find out what happens without having to suffer through the cause. Hey, I'm all about self-preservation. My blood pressure goes up when I read her. I can't handle it. I'll just keep on ignoring the books and movies left's existence. I haven't seen GoF yet. I can't be bothered when they keep cutting out important plot lines to amp up the not so important parts.

Plus, I got tired of Ron becoming scenery.

J loves GoF. Mostly because of the action, though. Plus, he's never read the books, so doesn't know what's supposed to go on.

Her writing just isn't very powerful. It's funny how I didn't care about any of the deaths, even though they were so built up, and it's a kid's book or whatever, so it was a big deal, but then in fanfiction sometimes just offhand lines about someone dying can get to me, because the characters are so much more real in that context.

Although, seriously, who would care about Sirius's death? I mean, I'm sure JKR liked him, but did she unintentionally make him an asshole? She should have beta-readers in the fandom or something. Ha, that'd be interesting.

*grins* Couldn't get me to watch it. I miss Ron's lines too much.

It isn't very powerful. You're right. It's like reading a Harlequin. You're going for adventure, not substance. The deaths should be an ass-kicker and they're not. It's just another death. Kinda like Lost and dead people. You expect it, it's just a matter of win.

And I wasn't upset about Sirius. I wanted the smug bully dead to begin with. He was cruel, underminded Molly (who only had *his* godson's best interests at heart). It was so crappy. She needs a better editor, for sure.
