Poll: Fandoms I Have Loved: Reader Input

I'm just curious, really. I have a lot of half-finished FIHL posts sitting on my hard drive - all the ones listed below are somewhere between 1% and 80% complete - and I guess, now that I've finished with Smallville, I'm feeling a little...unfocused.

Pointers, anyone?

ETA: I have already done (in reverse order) Smallville, Stargate: Atlantis, The Fast and the Furious, Oz, Ocean's 11, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Master & Commander, due South, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Sentinel, and Lord of the Rings. Those can all be found at my Fandoms I Have Loved tag.

ETA2: Allow me to smack my forehead in a painful fashion, because I completely forgot to put on the poll two others that I have in progress: Harry Potter and the DCU. Memo to me: no more posting polls late at night.

[Poll #720893]

I want you to do DCU because it would comfort me to know that someone else suffered through the same insanity I did... for the love of sunshine and puppies?

Um. What does the DCU have to do with sunshine and puppies?

Insanity, though - that's totally connected to the DCU. That FIHL has been in progress forever, because I kept weeping and chewing my hands when I got to the part where I tried to explain the plot.

I think when you realize that the writers themselves regard the past as a sort of strong suggestion, rather than, you know, immutable events, that you finally say, "screw it!" and write the story of that time Tim Drake worked as a stewardess for a summer, (in a short skirt pursuit pursuit of justice,) and his smoldering affair with billionaire Bruce Wayne, member of the Mile High club.

So your argument is that:

1. It is indeed true that the DCU and insanity are closely linked, and
2. This is not necessarily a bad thing.

And if the insanity truly leads to Stewardess!Tim, I would be forced to agree with you. Nothing that causes people to write Stewardess!Tim could be bad.

I'm trying to figure out whether I should laugh or cry at this statement. Because: oh my god so true.
