CSI:NY Slashed! - Fanfiction, Fanimation & Fanart

I posted the following in a thread at TalkCSI forums, but I wanted to make a record of it here in this LJ and share it with you guys who don't visit the forum too.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have cold, hard proof that TPTB did switch the Danny/Rikki and Danny/Lindsay scenes!

( Explanation and screencaps under the cut! )

What are you thoughts on this, people?

EDIT: Holy crap! I decided to check out the Cheers & Jeers section of TV Guide after re-reading 1perfectanomaly's LJ post about leaving a jeer and then getting trolled for it. Guess what? Some people have linked to the thread I made in TalkCSI! At least two of them! I guess including 1perfectanomaly's jeer, that makes four eight jeers now for CSI:NY. You're free to leave one. ;P Hey, who are you guys? Come on over to TalkCSI and post in the thread there!

Do you know what amuses me?

Extreme selective viewing and reading. It's like lying on a steel table having your limbs hacked off one by one while you squeeze your eyes shut and tell yourself you're in Happy Land. Utterly baffling and idiotic.

I tell ya, I've never seen denial running at such ridiculous depths and length of time in my life and yet, there it is, flaunted by fangirls of all ages (the higher the age goes, the more frightening it is, apparently). I pity the writers of CSI:NY a lot these days. It seems they've become so cowardly in writing the hilarious fiasco that is Danny/Lindsay that it's stuck in a permanent rut where Danny seesaws between a Danny who acts like the old Danny before his character assassination and a Danny who's nothing more than a lowly dog who's always the wrong one and needs to grovel and be a total wimpbag.

And this, just for the sake of appeasing a bunch of fangirls who've flamed TPTB simply because they didn't like their obsessive fantasy of Danny being fucked with. Come ON. It's laughable to even deny it has always been about Danny. Lindsay? Who's she? Just a proxy who needs Danny to be her prop even after three whole seasons and still can't stand out as an individual. And ya wanna ask why I think she's useless? Heh.

( As for that phone call ... )

A big thank you to elsiekate for the fantastic screencaps! :D

Thank you for the responses to the previous post! I appreciate it.

1.Between the following, which would you pick?

A) A story where everyone is in-character, regardless of whether it's good or bad
or
B) A story that you really get into, although you feel the characters are sometimes out-of-character

You can only pick one. ;>

And 2. Do you think changing a character's sexuality can make him or her out-of-charater?

I'm just curious to know what people think about fanfiction. Can you tell I've been browsing fanfiction discussion and rant websites?

So while I'm writing up the next five stories for the lover100 challenge and that super-pr0ny part for Wherever You Go (yes, you horndogs win, okay?!), here's a question for ya:

What is your definition of in-character?

A) It means that a fanfic portrays a character according to how he/she's been shown to behave on the series so far. Exactly and only like what's been shown on the series.
B) It means a character has behaviors that have been consistently proven true on the show, and as long as any other character traits written in a fanfic are logical and in relation to canon behaviors, they are also acceptable.
C) It's all relative, maaaan. We're all different people of different opinions, ya know? Make peace, not war. *smokes bong*
C) It means the character acts the way I think he/she should act. So there!
D) In-character? But-but ... I love my Mary Sues and Gary Stus! *sniff*
E) I have my own answer and I wanna tell ya in my comments whether ya like it or not, 'cause I'm hot like that.

For those who may not know, I'm currently one of the moderators at the Shipper Central section of TalkCSI forums. The best word I can use to describe my experiences of being one so far is, interesting. I never fathomed just how wanky shippers were capable of being until I took on the job, and ever since then, it's pretty damn tough to faze me with anything. *lol* (Of course, I also happen to visit places like wtf_omgz and 4chan, but that's another story.)

So, yesterday, a thread popped up at the CSI:NY section of TalkCSI, entitled Why Aren't You Posting?.

( It was the CSI:NY mods' call out to all the forum frequenters ... )

Oh yeah. Tell me, my peeps, would you like me post the fluffy D/F story in one go, or in parts? If I were to post it in parts, I can post the first out of four very, very soon. :) If I were to post the whole story in one go ... uh, that might take a while. *lol* Feel free to let me know which option you guys prefer.

This is a post I feel should be worded well so as to avoid any silly misunderstandings and misconceptions. We all know how easily fandom-related issues can get wanktastic, no? ;P I'm gonna break it into parts so if ya feel like skipping certain sections, just pick whichever LJ cut ya want.

( A shout out to whoever posted that 'D/L fan is a closet D/F fan' secret ... )
( An interesting reaction to the secret from shippers on both sides of the fandom ... )
( Some experiences I've had with ... amusing shippers. )

I haven't watched this episode yet, although I've already spoilt myself silly for it thanks to reviews from TalkCSI forums. Interesting that it was pointed out quite a few times Flack was particularly snippy with Lindsay in this one. It's interesting that Flack is always snappy with her one way or another whenever they're interacting, and seems to be the only person in the whole show to behave that way. Thank you, TPTB, for keeping Flack real, at the very least.

Therefore, I have to thank our beloved homicide detective and his snarkiness in this episode for the following observations that came to me.

( If you're a Lindsay or D/L fan, I'd recommend you to not read any further because I'm pretty sure you won't like what I'm going to say. )

Oh, and the Danny/Flack fic request story is 2/3 done. That means ... it'll be most likely finished within the next day or so. *g* And yeah. The sequel to RNA and DNA is definitely the one to be written up after that.

Oh yeah. This post deserves the sad icon. Based on the spoilers I've read and been told, oh boy, is Danny gonna do a lot of crying and angsting in season four or what.

Underneath the LJ cut are major spoilers for this season's finale, as well as my lengthy speculations on how the episode will affect Danny and Flack and the show.

( Oh, my poor widdle Danny. ;o; )

Unbelievable. I actually got bitten by a friggin' Flack/Hawkes plot bunny last night, right when I was gonna fall asleep! And now it's stuck in my head! Gosh, I think I might actually write it.

Alright. I had a night to think about the episode. Still not going to watch it, if the responses to my previous post are anything to go by. *lol* Thanks for the laughs, some of the comments are hilarious. *g*

You know what really pisses me off about the episode? No, it's not the Danny/Lindsay thing itself. Really, if it'd been written well from the start, it would have had good potential, at least. No. What really pisses me off is the true blue character assassination of Danny Messer.

( Bang, bang! )

Whoops, I oughta get some screencaps of Danny's funny faces from last week's episode up. :o And hurray! This week's episode featured Danny working together with Flack and Mac. :D

( As for the observation ... )

EDIT: ( After a second watching ... )

I'm jumping back onto the saddle and making myself write something. Even if it makes my forehead bleed words on paper. Next story: another fanfic request filled, Flack angst galore! Oh, and it seems TalkCSI forums may be down until Monday.
