selenakThings to do while trying to remain unspoiled for a certain season finale:
a) pack suitcases (I'm hitting the road, or rather, the air plane, tomorrow afternoon)
b) read fanfiction from other fandoms, then rec it:
Lost:
A hill to die on: Hard to describe without spoiling - it's a Shannon pov, and yet covers all four seasons; it has Shannon in her acid, ruthlessly honest, vulnerable glory; and interactions with just about everyone are perfect.
Battlestar Galactica:
Our Dried Voices: through several encounters between Felix Gaeta, Adama and Roslin from early s1 to Revelations in s4, the author draws a portrait not just of the characters but the draining emotional journey they took. I'm especially in awe of her Roslin, because Laura in fanfic often ends up either nicer or darker/more all-knowing than the genuine article, and here she's just right.
c) make unexpected discoveries of nominations.
To wit: Heroes Slash fanfiction award for the summer are up - the nominations, I mean, the voting has just started. Now, not only haven't I written Heroes fanfic for a while (I love the show as much as ever, but I've said what I wanted about the characters based on the canon we have so far, and am waiting for new canon so I can say more) but the Heroes stories I did write back when were gen with just a smidgen of subtext now and then. So getting nominated anyway several times for characterisations was a pleasant surprise. (Hell is is up for Best Bennet Characterisation and Trioditis for Best Claire. Also Dreaming for best Molly, but as I won that one last time, I don't expect a reccurence. Whoever nominated any and all of these, thank you! I feel flattered and honored.
