I figured this was as good a place as nay to rant about fandom, since my LJ readers don't always understand my fangirlness (though if it does interest you at all check it out: [link]).
Anywho...
I, am such a dork. I've begun writing Real Person Fanfiction (RPF) about Celtic Woman, this really awesome wolrd music group I like. But do I pair them with men? Oh no, my friends. I, being the lover of angst, subtext and all things femslahs pair them with girls. Specifically other girls in the group.
The pairing I'm working with a whole, whole bunch that's quickly becoming my OTP (Original True Pairing) is Chloe Agnew/Lisa Kelly. To see where I got this brilliant idea, take a look at this clip. Chloe is the blonde in the gold dress with the purple bow, and Lisa is the brunette in the red dress with the whitish flowers on it.

Ok. I know, I know. I, being a performer myself, know that when you're onstage sometimes you get swept up into things and it could look like anything. But me, being the subtext whore that I am, had my muse go, OMG. They're totally FLIRTING with each other. Which they're really not, I know. Let me make this clear that I know NONE of this is true in the slightest. Both girls are completely and totally straight. Lisa is even married and has three kids.
I'm becoming obsessed. When I'm not doing homework or working, I'm writing. I'm not sure if this is such a horrible thing, but it's annoying that I really can't post this anywhere for fear of it getting found out and getting in trouble (I am posting some of it on my writing journal, but even then I feel kinda iffy). I can't even really post it on DeviantArt because their mods are trying to keep no one from getting sued.
I am getting into it though. I've been doing my research and finding out everything I can about them. I've even figured out where Chloe could possibly go to university in Dublin (Trinity College, btw, for a degree in CHild Psychology) and how divorce proceedings are done in the UK (Lisa's got to get rid of that husband and keep her kids somehow). I think that I can apply this obsessiveness to my other writing. We'll see how it goes.
