If I write it down... Murphy's Law is going to negate it at some point, surely!

So - yes, the state of the Fannish becky_monster

Doctor Who and I are having a trial separation. The last block of episodes were just 'meh' to me. The Neil Gaiman episode was good but... the spark has gone. And as for Matt Smith leaving the show? That was the sign that I'm not in love with Who the way I once was. I don't do well with regenerations - the media speculation is enough to make any sane person run for the hills - and then there is the whole wrench of saying goodbye to one favourite and getting used to the new one.

That and I'll freely admit that I never have gotten over Nine and that was EIGHT BLOODY YEARS AGO!

*cough*

I'll watch the Christmas episode and will likely cry because despite the last season, I've loved Eleven but Twelve has to be something pretty flipping special to invoke the fannishness of before.

X-Men Movieverse - am taking a mental health break from this fandom(s) for the time being. As much as have I loved writing in these universe(s) - I think I (or rather, my muse) need more time to recharge our proverbial batteries before undertaking anything else in this universe. Given that The Wolverine opens ten days... who knows. Not to mention that I am following Bryan Singer on twitter, who has a rather wonderful habit of posting behind the scenes pics from X-Men: Days of Future Past out, which makes me incredibly gleeful at the best of times; so that is bringing me hope... and now I can 'hear' Sir Ian McKellen reciting one of the speeches from the first film in my head... help

That's not to say that I'm not writing - I am... or at least I'm trying to! I wish I could say more but... allow me to show rather than tell, deal?

So, that's me - in all my weirdness - how about you guys?

And if any of yous are on twitter - I'm becky_monster there too - please feel free to follow (but please yell so I can follow back!)

Doctor Who and I have had a separation going for a while now. This sort of thing happens a lot to me. About the time I start not liking a show is the same time that everyone else seems to discover it as if it's a brand new shiny show.

Watched Smith's first season, and wasn't really impressed by him or his companion. I know he has a new one now, but after such a long break, I haven't felt the urge to start watching again. Maybe with the change I'll give it a try, as long as they don't keep de-aging The Doctor and he's a teenager. ;)

Though I have been watching the original series from the start, at least what's available, and that's been more interesting to me than the new stuff. It's amazing to see what they could do without fancy special f/x. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but it's always technically interesting to see what they tried. B&W was a lot more forgiving with f/x, and they could achieve a lot with a painted piece of canvas as the background.
