I KNOW. I don't...I think I realized that this fandom had some strange issues with shipping when I (started to) read a fic about Leon/Ada, Chris/Jill, and Claire/Steve getting together for an evening of Wii Bowling. Like. I cannot even. All the amazing possibilities for ridiculous angst, drama, and fluff that canon provides and the writer went with Wii Bowling.
I don't either! And so far I've refused to write them as such. :D I'm almost at a point with that fandom where I want to just say "Screw it, idgaf how I feel about some of these pairings I am writing them my way anyway, just for something different". Which is hugely egotistical, but I CANNOT HANDLE THIS FANDOM SOMETIMES.
/sobbing for me it's not even the game rn, it's the potential of the game. I'm using it as a carrot on a stick to help me finish off a fic. D: BUT THE PLOT BUNNIES, they're multiplying faster than I know what to do with them. At this point I'm with you, I need to just make a list of all of them somewhere.
...and then sit back and laugh/cry over it. Or something.
Oh, really? Ugh. I've been reduced to reading sporkings of the last few books just to keep up with the events, and it just sounds like a trip I never want to make. The worst part is that the guy really did have some potential there. I don't remember too much of his work being incredibly streamlined when I read the first book, myself, and to think it's only gotten worse...
I must admit I keep a copy of the first book on hand, still, in case I ever feel down on myself and need a bit of a reminder that at least I will never have something like that on the record as my first "published" work. I still hope he finds his way out of that rut and improves.
I've taken to carrying around a little notecard organizer and/or obsessively using my phone.
I have heard of it! I should probably get off my butt and formally join, because perhaps it might help me start breaking my odd habit of getting obsessively detailed in one facet of my research but not a whole slew of others.
