jedi_of_urth: (Default)
DEAR GODS I HATE THE NEW POST EDITOR WINDOW. I WILL ALWAYS HATE IT, HOW CAN I ANNOY THE LJ FOLKS TO BRING BACK THE OLD ONE BECAUSE THEY ARE ASSHOLES FOR DOING THIS TO ME. IT IS AWFUL AND ATROCIOUS AN A CRIME AGAINST ME AT LEAST.

That said, Here's my predictions and personal picks for [livejournal.com profile] f_march_madness round 1

Comedy )

Teen )

Sci-fi / Fantasy< )

So in case you really needed to know my opinions on the prelims/nominations and how my bracket is set up here it goes.

A few notes on my bracket )

So before I go to bed tonight (which granted, won't be for a while but I may not wait all night) I will be going back over my FMM prelim votes in case I need to change some to help ensure an acceptable outcome in some fandoms. If you had suggestions for me to vote on you can still suggest them to me here.

Until then I think I'm going to try and do some writing, I have a variety of ideas I'm poking at, which is nice.

Okay, so I dusted off my posting format from last year about this, breaking down what my opinions are vs what I expect from fandom at large. Anywhere where I say I don't have an opinion (or some form of that, I try and change it up some) mean I'm willing to take suggestions from my f-list about what they love, and hope that they will take my preferences into account anywhere they might be looking for a reason to vote a certain way. I don't go in for out and out vote trading, but am open to some minor form of it.

A link in case you don't have it yourself

On with my thoughts )
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
First bit of predicting. Here’s my guess for what will fill the two fan voters’ choice slots in each FMM category (vs. what I would have picked). I did do a little looking at what people have voted so far, but by no means a full counting.

Predictions vs. Preferences round...-1 )
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
Things that FMM has left off the bracket so far but could stand to be on there:

Harry Potter (Teen) - To be fair I'm okay if it isn't on the bracket since it was a little interesting last year since it was obviously going to roll over a lot of the competition.

Red Dwarf - I've asked what category this should go in but I expect Sci-Fi/Fantasy Mod says Comedy, which is good by me; it came back with new episodes and deserves some love.

Arrow (Sci-Fi/Fantasy) - I don't agree with the bracket subdivision since it's no more supernatural than something like Homeland (I don't think) but it's been...okay so far and could use some support.

The Avengers (Sci-Fi/Fantasy) - I was so happy it was on the bracket last year even if it didn't go far, as far as movie franchises go I'd like to see it included.

Bomb Girls (Drama) - I only just started watching this show and I'm already in love with it.

Has no chance but I'm thinking of nominating it anyway: Journeyquest because it's hysterical.

Other things to consider: Go On (comedy - not great but I'm liking it okay), My Little Pony (Teen I suspect but jury's still out - not that I want the Bronie crowd to get into FMM but the show is so cute)

ETA: OMG THE NEW IRON MAN 3 TRAILER. FLAILING SO HARD
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
Hmm, I thought I was less caring about FMM this year, but my enthusiasm seems to be gearing up (if it goes like last year it will die halfway through too). So here’s a few of my early plans.

Doctor Who: COME ON FANDOM, STOP OPPRESSING ME AND NOMINATE ROSE.

TVD: I wish I could stan for Elena this year, but I can’t. Girl, I know the writers screwed you over but I won’t show support for the Elena-doll that killed my real Elena. So tentatively I’m going with Elijah even though he has next to no chance, but I will switch to just about anyone (especially Bonnie or Rebekah) to keep the Salvatores off the bracket.

Game of Thrones: GO ARYA. Although I can’t really think of a single character I’m opposed to (at least of characters who stand much if any chance of winning, I wouldn’t support Sandor (for book fandom reasons) or Shae or Talisa (for different book reasons) but I don’t think I have to worry too much about those). As a side note regarding last year, I find I like Sansa most when everyone hates her, so her getting the nomination last year (and going so far with it) was the worst thing for my opinion of the character, because right now I’m really against her getting it again.

Castle: Kate; though again, not that there’s a bad apple to be had in this bunch.

Buffy: As always TEAM DEATH TO SPIKE.

TEAM COMMUNITY (with the exceptions of Pierce and Change, but I’m leaning towards Troy this year personally...for the moment)

I believe there was discussion to the Mary Crawley’s Revenge campaign being planned for this year, I’ll be okay with that.

Speaking of Revenge I have no idea who I’d vote for on that show, or OUaT for that matter (just not Rumple or Hook, I care not for their man pain fight), or plenty of other shows that may or may not be on the bracket. I’m basically Team Anti-Moffat and Team Not-a-douchebag if I boil it down (actually I think Team Anti-Moffat may be a subset of Team Not-a-douchebag come to think on it). That and Team I-only-care-enough-to-discuss-it-on-my-journal-or-flist, I don't get involved with discussions on FMM and I dont do vote trading but I am willing to hear the opinions of people I trust and consider if they're convincing.

I’ll get back to this subject once we have a full list and I can figure out what else I feel like voting for, and then maybe revive last year’s breakdown of the whole thing once it gets going.

FMM:

Well, seeing as I had Hermione to win the whole thing and she didn't make the final two my bracket clearly had some flaws in it. I don't know if it'll be Donna or Leslie who eventually wins and I pretty much don't care. I'd more or less checked out on this a couple days ago, it's exhausting to care for the whole week about something to trivial.

I voted Donna, but I don't really feel it any more.

TVD:

I have thoughts on tonight's episode, but not so many FEELS as I had during the LET'S FOCUS ON THE ORIGINALS arc. I'll probably post some thoughts tomorrow, but I'm in a missing Elijah funk right now.

Okay, one thought/feel )

Next on my Thursday TV watching list, COMMUNITY (hugs show that came back to me).
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
So I was *almost* right in my final four, but Watson managed to pull it off so that my all ladies FF didn't happen.

On the plus side (and this would have been anyway so it's not an on the other hand comment) my votes are easy now.

Barely needs cutting any more )

Also, I've been trying (sort of) to cut back on the number of big bangs I sign up for since I never finish them, but I have to pimp this one:



SIGN UP FOR THE CRACK SHIP BIG BANG!


Because I'm all over this.
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
So we're at day 4 of FMM, so another day of my thoughts on the subject.

We're almost done )

But you know what I *do* still care about? TVD and Community will be back in TWO DAYS, this makes me happy. I kind of forgot my idea of doing some flashback TVD ep reviews, oh well there's always summer hiatus. I've had so many fic ideas it's not even funny anymore. I think I need to rewatch the last few episodes just to get my head out of fic land and back into canon.

I have also tried reading the first book of The Vampire Diaries. I think the only way to read it is for the lulz, because it's really bad. I know if one only took the first few episodes of TVD they might say the same thing so it may not be fair to judge the first half the first book but...it's what I think a lot of us *expected* the show to be. I may end up tempted to write crack fic about book characters meeting their show counterparts because it should provide even more funny that way.
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
I keep using my "For kids who can't afford heroin" icon for these because FMM is kind of that way too isn't it?

At this point I think I can just pt them all in one section instead of breaking by category )

Another day, another bit of peanut gallery commenting on [livejournal.com profile] f_march_madness

Comedy )

Teen )

Sci-fi / Fantasy )

Drama )

So now it's time for round 1. I didn't really post separate thoughts on the prelims so I just rolled them in with this.

Comedy )

Teen )

Sci-fi / Fantasy )

Drama )
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
I'll post my thoughts on the FMM prelims later, we've got a few days until it kicks into high gear again. But I will say that I'm glad that one s done. Now I can just be bitter on behalf of my favorites who didn't win, be happy for the ones I wanted to who did, and I really expect to be less emotional over the actual contest than I found myself being over this part.

Oh, and I want to write long plotty (and E/E-ful) TVD fic and it will totally get jossed as soon as the show comes back. Well maybe not *totally* jossed as I wasn't trying to set it right now in canon. But still I suspect this is a hollow desire until summer hiatus when I can decide how much canon to include at that point.

Hey, it's only a week until TVD and Community come back. That will be so great.

And now a meme:

Give me a fandom, and I will tell you:

Like a sheep I may as well be like all the rest of you on my f-list. Here's my opening [livejournal.com profile] f_march_madness thoughts.

I still don't really get why this is so important )

Vote Troy

It's the finale of Fandom March Madness, and it's Troy vs. Eleven and in case you don't know where I fall


My reasoning goes like THIS )
