meep. well... you know. i tried to set this in the admission that obviously, very obviously, i have...er...mental blocks at play here. most of the reason i called it badfic is because i couldn't believe the idea of it without wanting to sort of... spontaneously combust. i don't mean the writing itself is bad. you know? just, to drop me into that fic as the first fic of the pairing i'd ever read was probably a bad idea, and it's no one's fault. but er. not saying she's a bad writer. meep?
just saying that...er... yes. i'm the last person who thinks perfect love has to be platonic... in fact, i've ranted about this very subject lengthily... well... when it comes to harry & draco in the `draco trilogy' and in general... i sort of knew i was abandoning my own principles, saying that, but... i couldn't help it. my eyes were burning ><
like i sort of said... you know. take pity. i have issues ><
as far as chemistry... yes, i do think they have chemistry. in a way, i ship kirk/spock more mightily than anything else, ever. i was in love with them for -years-. my formative years, too (13-18). it was a long time to be obsessed over characters, so naturally i overreact when something er.... different comes along to shake at the foundations of how i see them.
sigh. i didn't mean to insult killa's writing at all. i was just wibbling. a lot. er. well. eep.
yes, i was just... saying... that i think spock... is very... very... controlled. in all the episodes i remember. also, perhaps more importantly, in my head. i mean, he's half human, yes, but he very rarely acts it. he barely calls him -jim-, as i said. also, they can't really have an established relationship and remain non-AU, as far as i know canon. and it's the canon i know best, out of all possible fandoms. because i've read all the episodes, read countless novels, and seen a lot of them, too. you'd have to -convince- me a lot more than with harry & draco, that they can just have a happy, open, lover sort of relationship, because they have a -very- steady professional relationship, and a telepathic bond as well... and it's just... you'd really have to build up to it and make it sublte. i mean... yes, they have chemistry, and yes jim flirts with lots of girls, but this is SPOCK. this is different. this is serious. their relationship is pretty serious.
i dunno. i'm unreasonable on the subject, as i kept saying. i'm v. sorry if i offended you ><;; meep! i just... i'm very attached to spock, and protective. too protective. i realize it's unreasonable, but i can't help it and i -tried- to read it anyway and it sort of was... traumatic. if someone would rec a ... serious, mostly-gen, kirk/spock fic that is... carefully set-up and so on... i would love to read it and change my mind~:)
