Poll: Fandoms I Have Loved: Reader Input

[thefourthvine]

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.

Hey, I never said I'd go with the majority vote. I just wanted to know what it would be. So Hercules is definitely still a contender, if for no other reason than to show those who have not beheld the majesty of the long-haired wonderstud in leather pants what they're missing. (And, seriously. That is the perfect description of Hercules.)

Although I don't know. I feel kind of...inadequate in the face of a fandom that so obviously did not take itself even remotely seriously. And was so obviously very, very gay. And, my god, the Widow Twanky. It's like - they Fandoms I Have Loved themselves, you know?

The wonderstud needs to be beheld. *serious nod* The behind of the wonderstud needs to be beheld.

I'm pretty sure there was some very heavy consumption of intoxicating substances behind more than one of those episodes. Really, giant formerly-bondage-geared-goddess chickens? A host of recuring characters which included a character named after deepfried chickpeas and Surfer Barbie the Diety? More than one episode involving your main character being translated into a farmyard animal?

Come to think of it, I wonder what the Herc writers are up to these days... I suspect they may have taken up writing SGA fanfic...

Good to know the crack is still in the running. *g*

The behind of the wonderstud needs to be beheld.

And the behind of the wonderstud needs to be held. By Iolaus.

*nods in heartfelt agreement*

*shock and awe*

My god. That would explain so much. Hercules: where the canon is just like SGA fandom.

As it happens, I just found out that Kurtzman & Orci, the writing team that brought you Porkules (and some fun, slightly less insane episodes, too) have been hired to write the Star Trek prequel movie, with a younger Kirk and Spock at the Academy.

Mary, admiring the behind of the wonderstud

Are you kidding? You're kidding, right? I mean, about the Star Trek movie? Because...wow. Wow. It'd be like Young Hercules, except - Young Kirk. OMG.

(I just looked them up on the IMDb and learned that they also wrote Mission: Impossible III.

I am very very tempted to see MI III now.)

Would I kid about something so important (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117941815?categoryid=10&cs=1&s=h&p=0)?

"Project, to be penned by Abrams and "MI3" scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, will center on the early days of seminal "Trek" characters James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and first outer space mission."

Aw. K/S, my first fandom! And I particularly like their use of 'seminal'. *is twelve*
