Maybe because I've got my attention elsewhere, such as watching TV Shows, or Series. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I've never watched one. I like to watch all the CSI franchises (CSI, CSI:Miami, CSI:NY), I love detective stories.
Well, I think I gotta explain few things first. In my country, to watch certain channels that showed movies or news from other countries we must subscribe to a TV cable provider, and there are many of them but only few that reach my house. After changing providers, finally on the third provider we try (our current provider) we've got a pretty decent list of channels, which included: HBO, HBO signature, Cinemax, StarWorld, StarMovies, AXN, and MTV. Okay, there are two channels that showed good TV Shows: Star World and AXN. The best for me is AXN, because it shows the latest seasons of CSI, CSI:NY, Lost and Supernatural, and other series such as 24, House, Numb3rs, Alias, 4400. While Star World shows new series such as Criminal Minds, Bones, Eureka, Ghost's Whisperer, Angela's Eyes and Heroes, Grey's Anatomy too. With such good watch, how can't you get hooked? Considering my national TV channels content are really... hopeless to watch. =_=
So right now, my fanfiction orientiation turned to TV Show fanfics, even sometimes I drop by in Naruto fanfics, only checking those in my fave list and SasuHina fics. The fandom I currently like are Heroes, Gilmore Girls (I've always been rather lenient to RoryJess and since Milo Ventimiglia both played the handsome Jess and later Peter in Heroes, it only makes me love the pairing more) and Supernatural. This last series only have two main characters, because of it, the strength and success of the series rely heavily on both of the actors' performance and by chance of luck one of the actors is Jared Padalecki, the same person who played Dean in GG. Yeah, it all returns to GG, and darn, can't help to be jealous of Alexis Bredel (Rory), surrounded by handsome guys. However, I think the best performance came from Jensen Ackles, other that I think he's better looking than Jared *grins* but really, his performance is superb! His character, Dean Winchester is one of the most complex characters I've ever seen.
When I'm writing fanfictions, I'm best at character development or character study and it usually reflected in every character's relationships with each other. I can divide it into three groups: lovers, friends, and family. The last one is the rarest one I see and really like to see it explored like the relationship between the Petrellis in Heroes and the Winchesters in Supernatural, especially regarding the two brothers. So I can't help to wonder why people like to see them paired up (slash) instead of keeping it normal, a deep bond between brothers? It offers more depth and more interesting, at least for me.
So right now, I'm really enjoying my holiday by watching good series with good performances and trying to connect once again to my fanfics so I can continue them.
Any idea to help me with the fanfics or what should I do during my holiday?
