Fannish Romance Survey
Oct. 1st, 2002 07:51 pmHere's my take on the first of two fandom surveys making the rounds:
The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it: The X-Files
The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets: Sports Night
The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was fucking crazy: The Sentinel
The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town: Harry Potter
The steady: The Phantom Menace
The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with: X-Men
The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't: West Wing, Starsky & Hutch
The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere: The Professionals
The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking Him? How the hell did he land all these cool babes?: Stargate, Smallville, boybands
The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly: Smallville, Stargate, boybands *g*
The childhood sweetheart you loved and always said you'd stay in touch with, but then you drifted apart, went your separate ways, and when you think about him now you smile nostalgically, and blush, and wonder what he's up to now: Highlander
And then there's the one you look at, that you've always been in love with but you just *know* that you'll fuck it up somehow and it would be better to dream than act on your impulses...because Cinderella was a fairy tale, and baby, you ain't got the fairy godmother in your corner just yet: Lord of the Rings
