those crazy messed-up things that you do
Although by some miracle I have trained myself out of reaching November and going into full-on procrastination mode, it is still November and this means that I am being mostly responsible but still flirting with the idea of procrastination.
In the spirit of this, I should be using my hour-before-bed free time to, say, work on fic or perhaps catch up on Merlin and SJA and maybe Flashpoint. Instead I find myself rereading all the due South fic I have bookmarked, listening to a lot more Barenaked Ladies than is perhaps healthy, and steadily losing my internal battle to not rewatch Stargate Atlantis. This is how it goes in my head:
PROS
+ He's an emotionally inarticulate guy with a failed marriage, funny hair, and mad skills with a gun! He's a snippy Canadian scientist with a genius IQ and very few people skills! Together, they fight Wraith!!
+ RONON. Enough said.
+ The first time I watched it, it was literally one of the first TV shows I'd sat down to watch in a remotely fannish way, and although I certainly enjoyed it I was mostly watching it as Something To Do With Friends and it didn't particularly speak to me. Now I think of it and the idea of writing John Sheppard makes me go weak in the knees, okay.
+ I can probably find all the good fic and meta in about 0.5 seconds: go after the old due South stuff and work forwards!
CONS
+ I can probably find all the good fic and meta in about 0.5 seconds. My life would disappear!
+ It's not -- uh, it's really not that good? Obviously I would be in it for the fandom, and I am starting to get spoiled and like shows where I can just watch the show without getting a headache. (First Michael plotline, end of s2: I WANT TO BEAT EVERYONE WITH CLUEBATS. For example.)
+ Did I mention that the idea of writing John Sheppard makes me go weak in the knees? I think the only real question here is, how many fic projects do I need? (I understand that this may be only my own personal con.)
The fact that I am even mentioning any of this means I am tipping dangerously close to just caving and doing a (possibly selective, Best Of, Watch Rodney Do Awesome Things) rewatch, and I am about 80% sure that this is a thinly veiled ploy to get someone to talk me into it. On the other hand, this should probably be a project for the new year.
On the mutant third hand I really desperately want to write improbable Fraser/Ray/John/Rodney fic, but shhh.

On the other hand, it would be taking up due South time, so ...
