Wow... it’s been FOREVER since I was last here! There are so many new people, which makes me really happy. (Welcome newcomers, even if you’re not that new!) I love it when we get more people seeing The Love (It is The Love, pure and simple, and by no other name shall it be called.). The subtext is always there.
I must say I’m a bit ticked that Bull was on Spike recently. I would have loved the chance to watch it again, but alas, it seems as if that’ll only happen once the DVDs come down in price. *sigh*. Oh well.
I know it’s been a long time since I’ve been here, and now that we have a ton of new people, I’ll take the short time to get back on my soap box and start talking about The Defining Moments Of The Love wiki (
www.definingmomentsofthelove.wetpaint.com). This is the place where you can post stories, poems, fan vids, whatever you want all about The Love. The original idea we had over a year ago was that we would get enough creativity posted and send it off to TPTB, to show them in a creative way that they are a couple and we want them cannon. It also shows we’re willing to work hard for it. There are rules posted on the site for submissions, if you’re interested.
Donna (candygirl1uk) and I, have been heading it up since the beginning. Now, I’ve finally got a full time job and I don’t have the time to work on it anymore, so I’m thinking of stepping down as “creator” of the wiki. I really would like to see it succeed, but I just don’t have the time, unfortunately.
That’s also the same reason I haven’t been here in so long either. I might not be back for awhile, but I wanted to check in and see how things are going, make sure we’ve got new fans here.
Of course, there was one other thing I wanted to mention. Almost a year ago now, last January, I had a freaky dream. A very vivid freaky dream where Greg had been arrested and held captive in an Aquatic Correctional Facility. What does this mean? I can hear some of you asking. It means Greg was a merman. An idea for a story came out of it. I mean, how could I not write something from it? And it’s taken me forever to get the notes right and to start writing it. But I finally have. It’s called Strength of Soul and you can find it on ff.net, WMTDB, and my own personal wiki, where you can get an automatic email update when I post new stories or chapters(
www.queenoftheuniverse.wetpaint.com). And for those interested, in some past fort, probably closer to #15 I’m guessing, Wojo was happy enough to post a manip of merman Greg. Go search for it if you want. It was really cute.
Someone mentioned holiday fics... “Strategies” by Caster, can be found on both ff.net and WMTDB. It’s the best xmas story I’ve ever read that deals in a humorous way with the problems of ‘popping the question’, from an unexpected pov. Lol, I always thought it would be the other guy doing the asking!
As for the recent eps, I loved the one with the old hotel. And I agree, the fact that Nick let Greg talk about old Vegas was sweet. The funny thing about mentioning that they seem like an old married couple is that it reminds me that people have said that about my relationship with some of my friends, which is hardly subtext at all. But I still love the idea that they act like an old couple, it shows just how much their relationship has grown and become solid. With all of the talk going on here, you’re making me think that someday there might be a big reveal. Perhaps toward the end of the show. At the beginning of this season, I was thinking, things wouldn’t work out between them for various reasons, Riley as one of them maybe, and TPTB just not seeing it and taking our dreams away. But after reading this, you’ve renewed my faith in The Love just a little bit more. Thanks guys!
*remembers how Nick punched Pig in the gut for beating up his man and gives an evil grin*
Night guys!
