Numb3rs
So, in preparation of the new season starting on Friday, I started re-watching Numb3rs. I've gotten through most of season 1, and can I just say? How slashy were Don and Charlie in season 1? I kind of moved away from the fandom, and part of that was because I didn't like the guys with girls, but watching season 1? OMG, I'm suddenly wanting to go search out Don/Charlie fic. Although, I have a feeling, once I get to season 3 I'll totally be wanting to check out the David/Colby fics and the Colby/Charlie fics. So really, if anyone wants to rec Numb3rs fic, especially slash fic, please feel free.
Eeee! Less than a week!

Re: Numbers
Charlie and Colby were so cute, Colby would be all "Whoa, Charlie" and would listen to him, even though he would act like he couldn't understand. They're so cute. If I run across any good Colby/Charlie fics, I'll make sure to let you know :)
Re: Numbers
Charlie and Colby are awesome. I was afraid that Colby was really going to behave like the dumb jock he pretends to be when he first showed up, so I was quite pleasantly surprised when he and Charlie actually turned out to be friends. If you find fic definitely pass it along. It's so rare. The fandom needs more Charlie/Colby love.
Re: Numbers
you're way ahead of me on that front. :)
All it took was that one person going "Gah, who could like that stuff, it's horrible, and wrong, and gross!" And the contrary side of me kicked up a fuss and made me as *why*. I mean, most people associate incest with parents/aunts/uncles/grandparents and children (and to tell you the truth, those do still squick me), or siblings and *children*. But all the incest fics I read are between consenting adults. Then the only objection you can really have are mutant babies, but since it's slash, that's not really a problem. Ok, there are still people personal gut reactions because they can't imagine doing anything with their siblings, but whatever. I have a grand justification (read as: long winded), but I'm not going to get into it now. :P
It's just one of those things that once I really thought about it, I was able to justify to myself why it's ok.
Charlie and Colby are awesome.
It's sooo true. I always find it weird that I don't come across more fic for them, since they have a lot of chemistry. Instead I've been seeing all this Don/Colby fic turning up and all I can think is o_O Wha? Don was jut being pissy to him in the Janus List, and hardly seemed to care afterwords...
I was afraid that Colby was really going to behave like the dumb jock he pretends to be when he first showed up
I don't think that was a real worry for me, but when you say that, all I can think of is Ford from SGA, how he was always so mean to the Dr.s on the show.

And wow, I was going through a list, and almost rec'ed one by you :P
OK, I really have to stop the list there, because my lunch is over, but the fics are there if you look for them. Of course, since I haven't read them, I can't promise they're *good* fics, but they're there. :p
Re: Numbers
Oddly enough, I think RPS usually requires less research. There's far more leeway given that there are fewer details out there for celebrities than for their counterparts.
That really only works with actors, though. Band slash is a whole other ballgame, apparently, but actor RPS has been pretty loose about it, in my experience. (Hewlett and Flanigan especially, which is the only RPS fandom I sort of read and write anymore, though I am absolutely loathe to admit it.)
Thanks a ton for the Charlie/Colby recs. I'll be sure to give them a read. :) You're so awesome when it comes to research.
Re: Numbers
Ahh, see, I've mostly just been exposed to Bandslash, and I think the first time I heard about RPS was way back when it was called Popslash, and was about the Backstreet Boys and N*Sync, and it was a piece of wank about how to interpret the fact that someone was somewhere at sometime (I don't really remember the details just someone saying "And *this* is cannon in my fandom *head desk*).
Thanks a ton for the Charlie/Colby recs. I'll be sure to give them a read. :)
Know what this fandom needs? An archive. Last time I looked, there was only the CalSci Library, and it wasn't automated, and didn't allow slash. I would *love* to just be able to go to an archive and look at the fics for my pairings. The fandom is so small, that we can't just rely on a ton of rec lists, lke I do for SGA, and the comms have so much cross posting and are for so many different pairings....
