When your momma's a (MILF) Man Trap

Here's an interesting little gem, this stuff's again from a 70's issue of 'Falling in Love', a rare issue based on what happens when somebody puts in a little Elektra Complex in the way of teen drama!

Yyyeah...scratch the elektra complex thing. This looks more like a PRE MENSTRUAL SYNDROME.

Ooooooh...

Remember girls! Just because you make judgements out of somebody you lived with your whole life doesn't mean it's right at all!

Neil's certainly trying to smother a smirk, isn't he?

Edit: Sorry, forgot the LJ cut Xp

	Really, though, who didn't. ME! Dean annoyed me. Yes, Jess was frequently a big jerk, but I gotta say I liked him better than Dean. And they would* be very pretty together. XD* Stop! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stop! I can just link you to a fic if you'd prefer. There's actually a decent handful out there. There needs to be an emoticon more evil than "XD," there really does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You can always quote Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons and just say "there is no emoticon for what I am feeling". :D

I have honestly never had any desire to read Gilmore Girls fanfic. I generally don't like fanfic for television shows, because it's hard to get character voices down when a large part of it is what the actors bring to it, and not just the writing. Which makes it especially hard for GG fic to work, because so much of what goes on is in how the lines are said. I went searching for some once a few years back, and never again.

(Mind you, I think I read Beast Wars fanfic when I was 15/16, so...I probably shouldn't talk.)

I was never particularly compelled to read GG fic specifically - it's just not a show I was ever fannish about, much though I loved it - but I happened across one by chance once as part of a multifandom femslash ficathon. Unfortunately that fic is probably the single best GG fic on the whole of the internet - perfect voice, absolutely brilliant use of all involved characters, heartwarmingly precision portrayal of the Rory/Lorelai relationship, and it seriously did sound basically exactly like the show. Which... my fannish beginnings were basically Buffyverse, and that particular mode of Joss-speech is tricky to capture as well, so I'm very used to allowing for stylistic differences in fic... at least, I usually am. I can't do it with Gilmore Girls, though. That first fic just set the bar too damn high.

I can pretty much always make an exception for crackfic, though. Which Dean/Lorelai kind of is by nature. ^^

	What pairing was this fic? If it was Paris/anyone I will die. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Rory/Paris of course. What other femslash is there in GG? Lane fell off the face of the series and you can hardly ship Lorelai/Sookie. (In fact the femslashers who want to slash Lorelai actually ended up bringing in a character from an entire other series. There's a whole tiny subculture of people who ship Lorelai/Alex Cabot from SVU. With some hilarious wank over "ownership" of the concept by the chick who first thought it up and got mad that a bunch of people copied her.)

I think the only ships I ever had in mind during that show were Luke/Lorelai, and Rory/Jess, because I have no imagination for these things.

Paris is awesome, but I can't imagine her being with anyone without shouting very specific instructions, pausing for the occasional hilarious rant.

As for Lorelai with anyone else, there was a bit on Family Guy which I am still trying to erase from memory... *cringe*
