swatkatAnd I can't resist it any more. So here goes.
1. Nikita did not 'betray' Michael. Get over it.
2. Michael is not perfect (although he does look that way). He is allowed to be angry, jealous, ambitious, vindictive – and that does not always have to do with Section's treatment of Nikita/Adam/Elena. He is also allowed to be selfish.
3.A large number of fans don't like FLYF because they can't accept the idea that Nikita was actually capable of performing a covert mission without spilling the beans to Michael.
4. Season 4 would have been more interesting if Michael and Nikita had actually hit back, really tried to usurp Paul and Madeline from their positions instead of playing the hapless victims who 'just wanted to be together'.
5. All arguments about 'Nikita didn't deserve Michael's love' (Really? So who did? Mary Sue, perhaps?), or vice-versa, make no sense.
6. Weddings and children don't really go with Section – even if it's a post S5 story and 'Evil!Ops and Maddy' are out of the way.
7. You can not call yourself a HR and then declare that you hate Nikita (or worse, you hate Nikita for what she did to Michael).
8. Paul and Madeline are not dead.
9. Michael has been in Section for too long to have a 'normal' life outside.
10. No WMS is better than bad WMS, or pointless WMS. A few NC-17 chapters do not make a good story.
And a bonus one:
11. Mr. Jones (a.k.a. Daddy) is a #@%$@$% $#!%*~@.
And because I'm still not done:
1. Remus is not tall, dark, handsome TEH HAWT guy. Deal with it. Ditto with Sirius.
2. Remus is also a man. Most slash writers forget that.
3. Malfoy isn't good at heart.
4. There is no such thing called a 'cool' ship. Ships aren't cool.
5. Ship-wars are stupid.
6. Some characters just can't be slashed.
7. Not all random pairings work.
8. Sirius' own recklessness was one of the reasons behind his death.
9. Voldemort doesn't love anyone. Neither does Tom Riddle.
10. Hermione doesn't like make-up. Really.
I feel a lot better now.

Mwah ha ha ha!

Re: Mwah ha ha ha!
Date: 2003-11-30 10:12 am (UTC)Oh, marvelous!
Date: 2003-11-30 09:05 am (UTC)I would only add, "but then failed miserably." Heh heh heh....
Love all of these -- right on target.

Muahahahaha

Date: 2003-12-01 03:34 am (UTC)Very nice lists-
Date: 2003-11-30 12:46 pm (UTC)Personally - I'd pick uneasy truce in face of outside challenges. Much more interesting. *lol*

Re: Very nice lists-
Date: 2003-11-30 01:35 pm (UTC)Actually, in all seriousness, I agree with you there -- I think that's the optimal and most interesting direction. I just couldn't help poking at Swatkat, ya know. *g*
I've thought of a couple additions to the list:
11. No, Nikita was *not* a virgin when she met Michael.
12. Contrary to popular belief, there *are* straight women who would be immune to Michael even in his valentine mode.
13. Gray was a nice and kindhearted guy. So was Helmut. And Jurgen was interesting.
How about...
Date: 2003-12-01 01:30 am (UTC)14. Elena is not a psycho hose beast.
Re: How about...
Date: 2003-12-01 02:37 am (UTC)#12. Are you by any chance trying to say that Madeline was, in fact, not in love with Michael? Because you know, canon proves that she was. And so was Paul, and Birkoff, and Davenport. And George too. Not quite sure about Adrian, though. She was in love with Madeline.
To be added to #14. Adam was a sweet little boy who was incapable of causing any harm to anybody.
Buahahahaha
Date: 2003-12-01 11:35 am (UTC)You left out Walter, though. Was he in love with Michael, too?
Well, duh.
Date: 2003-12-01 01:22 pm (UTC)Wasn't everybody?

Oh
Date: 2003-12-01 07:28 pm (UTC)About the icon, the quote belongs to
Swatkat
*sigh*
Date: 2003-12-02 02:30 am (UTC)You forgot to add "because she's really used to getting them and probably won't bat an eyelid over finding poison pen emails in her in-box."
Where's my "huge manhood" icon, then?
Er...
