My slash shame

[hestia8.livejournal.com]

Hi there! I think I know a few of you from my journal. I’m hoping it’s okay to ramble/discuss (the userinfo seemed to say so but most of the posts seem to be picspam). If this isn't ok I'm afraid I won't be around to take it down till tomorrow morning, sorry. I just need to get this out and I’m hoping that if you don’t agree, you can at least sympathise ;)

 

I’m slashing Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli.

 

Yes, the Strictly Come Dancing judges.

 

No, I don’t know why.

 

Normally I have some kind of interaction to base a ship upon, but tbh they barely even argue. Most of the time they argue with Len and not each other, but it doesn’t make any difference. And there is no fic. And all the discussion I can find is either (this is veering slightly OT): Kate is rubbish, don’t be mean to Kate, the judges are crap/good and discussion about whether people should take it seriously because it’s more of a popularity contest than a dance competition.

 

:( No discussion of slash. Bugger.

 

In happier news, over in Hollyaoks, John-Paul (gay) is now living in the same student flat as Kris (bisexual, transvestite). Oh, Hollyoaks.

I don't in fact watch Strictly at the moment and yet I approve of this pairing *nods*

I went to see Live At The Apollo being filmed a few weeks ago (report ehre) and Craig whatsit turned up with a rather pertty boy in tow. Clearly that is proof of soemthing. *g*

There is a transvestite on Hollyoaks?

:O

You don't know about Kris?

Oh my God. I may have to picspam just for him. He's responsible for making a great number of the Hollyoaks audience (who clearly weren't Eddie Izzard fans) suddenly go 'YAY MEN IN EYELINER!', for which he should be applauded. He recently returned to the series on the night of a ball in tuxedo jacket and a tutu, if I remember correctly.

Hollyoaks picspam ftw!!

The tux and tutu combo was fabulous. Well, to be fair, Kris is just generally fabulous.

[seiyaharris.livejournal.com]

Firstly, it's totally okay *G* I do the daily picspam (on the whole) to give us all somewhere to chat (and, quite often, something to talk about lol) but yes, feel more than free to post *G*

AHahahahahah, see, I would totally slash them too but they have no interaction lol and I don't find Burno incredibly attractive. I'm more likely to slash the professionals and the celebs *G*

Noooooo, speak not to me of Kris/JP, I haven't watched Hollyoaks since Craig left and I was only watching it then 'cause of JP/Craig! You cannot tempt me back!

More importantly, Joseph is getting deliciously bitchy and has been having lots of scenes with Sam on Holby! *G*

[hestia8.livejournal.com]

Cool. I can probably come up with a lot of stuff...

I don't find either of them attractive. I really don't know where it came from.

Well, I haven't seen them have any scenes together, but they live in the same house. It's like the writers *want* us to slash them.

YAY Joseph. I still have a Holby ramble (and fic) to post from last week, although Sam's turned into a complete twat lately. Much like Craig did actually. And I know spoilers for the next couple of weeks and it may be :(

(on the plus side, there are new male characters, so yay!)

[seiyaharris.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, JP has to move past the whole 'omg I left the love of my life at the airport!' thing. I really desperately hope that when James Sutton leaves Guy Burnet comes back for the sunset ending, he has said he will *G* ANYWAY, yes, JP needs to move on (but not like, a lot) and then maybe hook up with Kris *G* Also, new male characters in 'oaks or Holby? But yes, Sam needs to stop being such a twat already zomg.

[hestia8.livejournal.com]

Oh, Holby. Connie's replacement and someone new I've read about in spoilers.

[seiyaharris.livejournal.com]

Ah, someone we know (the actor) or someone entirely new we don't know? Or should I just go to digitalspy and spoil myself? lol

[hestia8.livejournal.com]

Well Connor Mullen is Stuart - the one who started last week. Thought I recognised him but now I'm not so sure. And he's divorced so I'll quite happily slash him with Joseph *g*.

Then there's some other guy, who I've looked up on the BBC site but don't recognise. It looks like Donna and Jac will be fighting over him but he's married.

There are some ace spoilers, one in particular that I'll be posting later.

[seiyaharris.livejournal.com]

the thought of Donna and Jac fighting over the same guy is just... BIZARRE to me (also, WHY IS JAC NOT DEAD YET?!)


Oooh, ace spoilers are my fave! (for shows I don't care about being spoiled for lol)

[hestia8.livejournal.com]

Posted.

And the guy they're fighting over isn't all that -

http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/holbycity/characters/profiles/index.shtml?content/_michaels/page1

There's his page if you're interested.

Also, I realise that Jac is a stubborn cow who likes to cause Joseph pain, but why hasn't she just left? She can't be *enjoying* her life, in a hospital where EVERYONE hates her.

[seiyaharris.livejournal.com]

You're right, he ain't all that. Pshaw.

I thought she was going to St Ablan's or whatever? What happened with that? And surely there's any number of places that would be happy to have her where she could start all over again? SURELY?

[hestia8.livejournal.com]

Stuart's quite nice, though. Although neither of them are Peter Wingfield, obviously.

oh, can't remember in detail but I think she's thought about going a couple of times only to decide to stay *because everyone hates her*. Clearly it's just because she's in a soap (sorry, 'long-running drama') and she can't just go (although Connie did, but she might be back...)

[seiyaharris.livejournal.com]

No one will ever be Peter Wingfield. Except, of course, Peter Wingfield lol

OH GOD I hope Connie will be back. I'd trade almost anyone for Connie (not Joseph, not Elliott and probably not Sam 'cause of the Joseph/Sam potential) but if Jac went and Connie came back? HEAVEN!

[hestia8.livejournal.com]

Well, she is supposed to be on a 'sabbatical' (hence why I think she's pregnant) so I'm hopeful :)

I agree about the trades. Totally.

(also, Elliott would totally try to matchmake Connie and Joseph, and ooh, more ficlet, I must go write this stuff down)

[seiyaharris.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard she's pregnant, she was on Paul O'Grady not long ago but I can't remember a thing about it except they had known each other for a while. Maybe she's just taking a break. Hrm.

(heee, Elliott would totally try to matchmake them *G* And possibly when that didn't work, matchmake Sam and Joseph. OH I CAN DREAM)

[katie__pillar.livejournal.com]

I know nothing about SCD but oh god I need to get back into Hollyoaks if JP and Kris are living together!

[hestia8.livejournal.com]

I have no idea if they have any scenes together or will still be living together (Jess rented JP Elliott's room but he came back from looking for aliens), but OMG.

I've been hoping for JP/Kris for a while...

[jekesta]

OH YES VERY. Dude. Have you seen the strictlyslash comm? It's mostly entirely dead, but I think there's some Bruno/Craig hiding somewhere, they were quite a popular pairing for a while there. Not that I'm making any claims for the quality of the fic there, I haven't read most of it. But yes, I know what you mean about how they don't talk but they're still clearly a bit in love. It's quite good of them:)

[hestia8.livejournal.com]

I had a quick look but all the posts seemed really old (and I can't copy fic at work). I'll have another look sometime.

Glad I didn't sound like a total loon :) Although should I start making lists of when they do actually talk, send help.

[seiyaharris.livejournal.com]

hey, can you lock this post pleas hon? *G*
