Some fandom plus NaNo

Okay so I realize I never really did a reaction post to the DW s5 finale, in fact I guess I didn't do anything for it. But the reason for all thing is...

I really didn't have many reactions to this finale. I'm in love with Rory even more but aside from that it didn't really adjust my opinion of anything all that much. Except Amy/Rory are so cute and I'm glad they're happy. If this was Rusty-Who I would ass "for now" to that statement but I'm not sure it has to be applied to Moof-Who.

I have to echo goldy_dollar on one thing too, it's kind of impossible to process how *happy* the finale was. I'm used to feeling depressed for weeks afterward (either at the plot of the slipshod writing that I have to fix with head canon, or sometimes both). This just doesn't fit in my head quite right.

Over all opinion of the series: okay but nothing special. Eleven is cute and as long as I can make him more deep in my head I'm okay. Amy is...okay. Rory is awesome and steals the show a lot of the time. River is...unfinished; the character is okay, but her catchphrases and plot bother me. I wouldn't even say I'm fascinated by what we don't know, I.just.don't.care.

I miss Rusty, I'm not going to stop saying that any time soon I still don't think.

I also finally had the chance to watch Iron Man 2 last night and here's my main thoughts...

All I want to do is write/read angsty Tony/Pepper fic after that. I mean, he's dying but he won't tell her and pull away from her so she won't have to deal with it; and she *knows* something is wrong but he won't give her anything to hold to. He goes around shamelessly flirting with women has no intention of doing anything with, both to keep his secret and because he's in love with Pepper. I just find it so worthy of angst fic, so maybe I should go find some.

I also wasn't fond of the Avengers tie in. It didn't feel earned to have them swoop in and save the day, it seemed like...well like what it was. A hook for The Avengers and a deus ex machina to tell Tony how to figure out the solution to his problem. If this wanted to be a story for the Avengers they should have actually gotten more setup, but since the story was as Tony as it should have been it felt really out of place.

Here's the thing, I *love* pairs/teams of superheroes, but what's-her-face going to the rescue felt cheap. As opposed to...Roady(?) getting a suit so they could team up in the end. That grew from the story instead of being a random throw in from the outside.

Anyway, it was okay, not great but alright. I just want more shippy angsty fic to go with it.

And NaNo update.

So far I think, tentatively this is my best start to NaNoWriMo since I started doing it. I'm already a shade over 10k in 4 and a bit days. In the past I think I've already had to play catch up at least once by now. I still think November is kind of a stupid month to do this in. I'm going to lose probably a week or so around Thanksgiving because we're actually traveling for the holiday this year and I don't have a laptop, and even if I can borrow my mom's it doesn't have yWriter on it and she probably wouldn't be happy with me installing it. So I'd have to go back to writing in Word and then combine them when I get home.

Okay, for something that started off as a 'Yay I'm doing okay,' that kind of ended up being complainy. Oops.
