It is very frustrating to be consumed by obsessive fannish love for a pairing you don't actually believe could ever happen. I keep trying to tell myself it's okay to just imagine it without coming up with a solid and in character rationale, but somehow that isn't as much fun as it should be.

Also frustrating: period fandoms! I don't write stuff that needs research, because I can't--research, or incorporate the research while writing--so Les Mis fic is completely out of the question for me, which does not stop my brain from incessantly tossing me lines. Lines about sad pining, because see above re: it would never ever happen.

Isn't this why fandom invented the Modern AU? Can't you put them in high school or have them run a coffee shop?

This seems to be the approach a lot of Les Miserables fandom takes, but alas it just isn't satisfying to me. When I love a period fandom or really any kind of genre fandom, the genre is half of what I fall in love with. Plus it changes the characters too much, in this case.

period fandoms!

I just read this in the wrongest way possible. If anyone needs me, I'll be rewatching canon so I can write BDSM-universe fic about that 'have a happy period' response ad.

...yes, that was not what I meant. Although I support this goal!
