Musings about the ideal male pin-up for the discerning fangirl

You, there! Get your mind out of the gutter! This is not what you think it is.

You've probably noticed the new addition to the list I posted recently. I discovered “Finder” last Monday, when I should have been working for university. I was bored with the archaeological reading I was doing and took a break online, meaning to look into the background of the “Mysterymen” movie – find out what the comic behind it was (turns out “The Flaming Carrot” by the same creator, Bob Burden, might be more worthy of my attention.) Well, one of the websites I found had a review about this comic called “Finder” which sounded... kinda neat.

So I checked out the website. And a few reviews. And went from zero to obsessed in about thirty minutes.

Why, you ask? Well, I could rave about wonderful world building and an intriguing story, and I wouldn't be lying. Both is present in “Finder”, and from what I could see it's there in abundance. (That was what caused my sudden desire to write, documented in my entry a few days ago.) But the two alone probably wouldn't have been enough to make buying “Finder” such an absolutely urgent priority to me. No, the truth is simpler and far less inspiring. You really want to know what sent me over the edge? Well, two words:

Hot guy.

( hotness, character, context, fan fiction )

How about you?

(PS: Sorry for having changed this entry about a dozen times just now. I *think* I'll leave it as it is, now. *g*)

Just posted this to a forum I frequent:

1. ( ) "Hmpf, will you stop bugging us about [your latest strange obsession], please?"

2. ( ) "Hmpf, you're mildly annoying when you go on about [your latest strange obsession], but for old times' sake I'll just ignore it until you calm down again."

3. ( ) "Hmpf, you're mildly amusing and a bit bewildering when you go on about [your latest strange obsession], but I don't have a whole lot to say about it. Sorry. But go on posting, please."

4. ( ) "Hmpf, I don't care either way. Go on posting about [your latest strange obsession], just please don't expect me to read it or reply to it."

5. ( ) "Hmpf, it's actually kind of interesting to read about [your latest strange obsession], since your taste isn't usually that far off from mine. I might check out [your latest strange obsession] when I come across it somewhere."

6. ( ) "Hmpf, your tastes are strange and you are rather scarily intense about [your latest strange obsession], but I don't mind occasional dispatches from your universe. Wherever that may be."

7. ( ) other. (please specify)

[your latest strange obsession] may be replaced by "Gene Wolfe", "The Borribles", "The Sandman", "Farscape", "Finder", or whatever else my latest strange obsession happens to be.
