The Fraser thing is obvs. just a matter for preference, because I honestly do find (nearly) unadulterated good boring. Because you don't get people like that irl, you know? But hey, I guess that's another reason for someone to love him, actually. The issue of place is another personal preference thing. I spent my whole childhood in the great outdoors and am thoroughly sick of it, haha.
I think the storytelling and the fact that I don't feel the need to argue with the canon makes me less including to write fic about a fandom. When a show is that good, which dS is, I never want to get fannishly involved. It's a lot like Discworld in that way.
I still can't explain why Fraser/Kowalski doesn't do it for me. Maybe I need to watch the rest of s3-s4 and figure that out, eh?
My biggest point of disagreement, though, is on the fandom. Again, totally personal preference! I fucking love wank. I love getting in screaming internet fights about inconsequential shit. I love huge fandoms full of badfic and ship wars and bullshit. That's been my fannish experience right along, and I think it's fantastic. It brings me back to Olivia's post about village elders and feral fans, which I disagreed with on an fucking massive level but never wanted to bother articulating, because starting shit for the sake of starting shit seems pointless. Anyway, for me, "feral fans" are what make fandom excellent. If we were all "village elders" we'd all be pretentious douchefucks and I'd want to punch everyone.
Okay, I am feeling argumentative this morning. >:(
