Heading out to case the promise land

Of this thing, where you post, and sometimes people read it, and sometimes conversation ensues. It seems unlikely, but people assure me it's true.

So work is crazy and weird and full of stuff I don't know how to do, and sometimes pretty exciting, and then OMG terrifying. And there seems to be a troubling amount of social activity going on in my life. You know how it makes me crazy when there is too much people time!

But all that is incidental. Because I am mostly posting to talk of this strange fannish urge I am having. Because I read The Farseer Trilogy, and dear God, dear God in heaven, why is there not Fitz/Fool fic everywhere? I mean, yes, Robin Hobb hates fan fic, blah blah blah. But I have read these books, people, and as I have told mollyamory, if she didn't want fic, she shouldn't have written such ridiculously shippy books. Because they are. Ridiculously shippy. I do not think I entirely believe how ridiculous they are. There's declaring and dying for one another, and actual pining and reunionating, and also world-building and good writing. It is a thing of wonder.

Also a thing of wonder is that the third Gentleman Bastard book might actually be released before I die, and that makes me want to reread the first 2, and wallow in all the awesome Locke/Jean goodness. And I also still want to write Newsroom fic, because apparently the fact that it is a terrible show isn't enough to stand in the way of my desire to ship people who argue all the time. And I am catching up on Person of Interest, and Reese is still winning me over with his violently psychopathic yet sweet ways.

And I find myself with urges to watch that other show I used to like so I can see all the hugging. And them having a home base and...hugging. It's terrible! I was out, and I am being pulled back in! By hugging. There is fic, yes? Of them living together in their home and doing domestic things and then going out to shoot stuff?

Mostly, I am saying. What is this fannish business? Can I give up my job for it? Because it seems like it might be pretty time consuming.
