Sheesh, that story took me ages to write, and it's only seven pages long. I started it in May 2001... finished it today. How's that for slow? Okay, I *did* write two and a half other stories in the meantime, so my average *is* a little bit higher than seven pages a year...
Well... I'm about to see FS 4.04 with AnduraNova and some other friends, so I don't really have much time to write right now. I feel a bit bad because I haven't even written about 4.03 yet, really. Then again, I rarely have anything really enlightening to say. I've been thinking a bit about my viewing and thinking habits, and I've discovered they differ quite a bit from those of many other fans. My thoughts do revolve around Farscape pretty much all week, but they are not really analytic. I've just checked some weblogs of other FS fans, and I noticed that many people really have great thoughts and interpretations for each ep. I can't provide that kind of thing here 'cause my mind works differently. I'm not even sure that I'm significantly more stupid than the people who post these great thoughts and analyses all the time... (a bit, maybe, but not much. *g*) I'm just dealing with a show I love quite differently from them. Most of my thoughts focus on reliving and intensifying the experience of watching an ep, not *understanding* it better. That's why I usually have little of import to say on mailinglists and messageboards, too. But I mainly watch Farscape simply to empathize (mostly with John, but also with the others). I'm not a very intellectual viewer at all, I hardly ever dissect anything.
Err, gotta sign off... but I'll be back to think about this some more. I'd also like to ramble a bit about fandom midlife crises. I sense that FS fandom is going through one of those at the moment...
