There's also the shot I saw of someone doing Benedict's bad guy from Star Trek like less than a week after the teaser trailer came out! Man, some cosplayers are FAST.
Um, "going to the West"? Is that what the kids are calling it these days? ; )
Once long ago I read a Legolas/Aragorn fic and it was very, very bad. My conclusion applies to Legolas/Gimli too--the words "elvish" and "butt naked" must never, never appear on the same page, much less in the same paragraph.
(I can't do podfics. I mean listening to them. It drives me CRAZY to have someone read to me. It is so much more mental effort to follow what they're saying than it is to read on my own, and it's so much slower! It takes many hours to listen to a story that takes a couple of hours to read.
....I managed to listen to an audio book while in the car once. Maybe if I spent more time in cars? On the bus/train I can read on my smartphone. If I was driving it would be too much of a distraction!
When people post podfic links and talk about how great a story it is, I dig up the link to the actual story and read it instead.)
I feel the exact same way about podfics. Also, I don't want to hear how someone else interprets something I'm reading. Vocal inflections and all...also, I have a tendency to stop and re-read (or re-re-read) CERTAIN PARAGRAPHS while I'm reading a fic, even for the first time.
Podfics: Not My Bag.
I don't even like listening to talk radio or podcasts, really. It's super hard for me to listen to them for more than ten minutes or so.
AGREED. I have the tab open for the new Sherlockian podcast and it's sitting there taunting me. "Maybe if I knit something..." The only part of slashcast I've ever listened to was people talking about Sherlock Seattle, and that's 'cause I knew it was Emma asking people questions and that me and Penny were in it.
The only reason I manage to listen to Cabin Pressure is because it's only half an hour. I need to download the new one (illegally) because my favorite way to listen is with headphones on while cooking--I always warn my housemates so they don't think I'm laughing at nothing. Or on long bus trips, of which I took several this last year, before I had a smartphone, going to and from Astoria (which takes about three hours). Some episodes of CP will always remind me of knitting on the bus to Astoria.

Did you know they supposedly sailed to the West Havens together? Also they shared a horse for much of the LoTR books. TOTALLY CANON.
I couldn't read fic for it though. I think I tried. But I wasn't even into elf slash (I was all up into hobbits) so there's that.

Despite the intense friendship being canon, I just didn't feel the ship. Either in the books or the movies. The cartoon is hysterical, though.

I think I prefer it as a bromance.
