No need to apologize for not sending feedback! I'm so horrible at it. I rarely ever send it, unless it's a fic I really like. My first fandom was mary-sue Newsies in 1997, and we all wrote our stories together or onlist, so there was never really feedback issues. I only realized how much of hassle it was when I joined the West Wing fandom. And then I left het in the dust with Lotrips. But, it's so hard, sometimes, when you write in such rare fandoms. My favorite fandom, actually, has only one writer. Me. (It's based on the book King of Shadows by Susan Cooper.) Which actually is good and bad. Good because I don't have anyone to compare it to, and thus it's good for my low-self esteem when it comes to writing. But bad because most people are like 'what the fuck?' But I guess that's the curse of small fandoms.
But with my rarer fandoms, and with WaT (and CSI) especially, I'm a sucker for happy endings. I mean, Martin and Danny have so much stress and unhappiness in their lives already.
Oh yeah, I totally agree. But I find myself wanting them to suffer, before I make them happy. Not any of the kidnappings and stuff that people like to throw onto their characters, but emotions. And Danny and Martin make it easy, because they so obviously have emotions. We've seen them sad, happy, upset, and tons of other emotions. One of the things I liked about Nick's Stalker!Ep and the ep and the one after Greg's lab was blown up, was the fact that we saw, for almost the first time, deep emotions for both men. I know it's hard, with both shows, but it's makes sense with WAT because they deal with people all the time. And something else ... Because I, like, you, am rambling and something just struck me.
I don't know if Viv is single or not, I seem to think she has a husband, and Jack has his wife. But the other three? How hard would it be to date someone and not be able to really talk about your work. Sam, I think, had that cop she we out with, and Danny had that female friend during Little Big Man. But, really, neither of them have anyone else to talk to. And that's yet another dynamic between them. Though I don't know the policy on dating coworkers in the FBI. I'll stop with this little ramble, before I totally lose my train of thought.
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Gil seems fairly asexual to me (although Lady Heather was interesting). But pairing him with Greg or Nick just seems like a recipe for misery, no matter how much hero-worship the boys have for him (or especially because of that). I just can't see it. And Jack is straight and busy juggling his womenfolk- lay off, people! ;)
Yes. I hope Lady Heather comes back. I do like her and Gil's tension. People pair them with Gil for two reasons, one is the whole boss/hero thing you mentioned, and the other is that "everyone" seems to love William Peterson (I like him better than David Caruso, but, no). As for Jack? I have no idea why people do it. And you're so right about the womenfolk in his life! Hee.
It's just nice to talk with someone who likes this pairing as much as I do, and like I said, your were the first author I read in this fandom and therefore the first to confirm that it wasn't just me, Danny and Martin really were that slashable. So thanks very much for that!
That's just. Yeah. I started writing them as soon as I really realized I thought they were slashy. And, really, I want to keep writing them. Especially now that we've done so much chatter about them!
And, thank you, for the feedback, but mostly for the conversation. There's actually a WaT community (without_a_trace) that I run, a general TV show. I'm more prone to spout of in my LJ about the show. Along with "eee's" and squeals. So, yeah, (this is so lame, and I haven't said anything like this for ages) if you want to friend, feel free, man. I'm always game for WaT and CSI discussions. Rather, intelligent ones. *grin*
