This is slightly off topic, but on the subject of encouraging good/thoughtful M fics, I came across this yesterday, and of course my first thought was how it might help write steamy fic and what type(s) I would see as primary for Sam and Andy. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/petra-zebroff/sexual-arousal-types-what-is-yours_b_1945808.html Excerpt:
I'm thinking: Luke = Attractor Type Andy = Intimacy Type Sam = Sensual & some Cognitive (despite his don't over think it mantra) and probably also more sensitive to a lack of Attractor behavior than he cares to admit |

Oh it's pretty hot. The humidity is the worst. Sometimes it can feel like 40 degrees celsius on the humidex. Usually it's around 27-30 degrees celsius and with the humidex it feels like 30-35. (That's like... Southern Ontario. Not representative of all of Canada!) Edited by SAFan23, Oct 12 2012, 10:28 PM.

It's not the heat, it's the humidity. Lol. Put it this way, I work at an agency that employs many immigrants and even those who have moved here from Africa recently, complain about the heat. Also, a huge majority of homes, businesses and even schools (which are closed in the summer of course) have air conditioners. I personally looooove the heat, but I have to admit we have an airconditioner at the cottage. I'm talking about S. Ontario here. Edited by Rooster, Oct 12 2012, 10:34 PM.

*whispers back* I can't. When are you guys going to adopt the metric system? I know you add 27 and divide or something. °F to °C Deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9 °C to °F Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32 Close. Edited by Rooster, Oct 12 2012, 10:39 PM.

Sometimes it can feel like 40 degrees celsius on the humidex. Usually it's around 27-30 degrees celsius and with the humidex it feels like 30-35 Translation: Sometimes it can feel like 104 F on the humidex. Usually its around 80-86F and with the humidex that can feel like 86-95F |

Ha! I'm actually pretty good with some. I know 37C and 22C, but you start getting lower than that, and I tend to get a little lost. and yes. It's ridiculous. We should all use the same system IMO. for your records: °C x 9/5 + 32 = °F (°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C |

lol 40= 100F Technically you could fly from Toronto to Hamilton, but no one would do it unless you were the premier or something. Lol The drive is less than 2 hours o a good day, definitely driveable to St. Catherine's. I don't mind details being wrong about street names (heck I barely know the streets and I live here). It's details like drinking age that make me grit my teeth because it's easily searchable online. |

Actually, I'm slowing entertaining the idea of writing the food fight idea and/or brain damaged Sam with a female OC who used to be Sarah's friend but went into the PD around the same time as Sam...before going off to study the brain and try to stop criminal behavior instead of lock them up after the fact. Many ideas, but nothing on a page yet. Always takes me the longest just to start. ;) |

I can see this, though I think Andy would be an Attactor type as well as Intimacy type. |

Let me know if you do decide to do the food fight thing. I've had this one tiny scene nagging my brain for FOREVER, but I haven't brought myself to write it. I'll share it with you, if you get around to it.

Wow, new topic & three pages in three hours or less? I actually read the previous pages so not duplicating any of the valid points already raised. Even before Season 3 aired, I've never been crazy about the fanfics that kill off a major character, including the 'future' ones that have either Sam or Andy raising children after the death of either. A long time ago, x.imagine.x wrote a story called (appropriately) "Death" about Oliver's demise. It was a great story, but I still found it painful to read. & despite Sam's heartfelt speech at the end of 3.13, still not crazy about the fics that have Sam go on & on with emotional speeches: most guys aren't like that (as much as we may wish they were sometimes) & it always seems particularly un-Samlike to me... I'm Canadian, but for reasons I won't bore you with (but include missing the math gene) I still 'think' in Farenheit & have to convert Celsius back to Farenheit. Maybe I'm trying to forget how hot it is on some summer days, but we actually have a very short summer here! |

I'm missing the math gene too, so that celsius to Fahrenheit conversion was like braille to me (only I understood it less) but oddly enough I still cling to feet over metres and inches over centimetres. |

Ok, that's as hot as our summers here. But our winters don't get below 35 F and it never snows in my city (we always "go to the snow" every year about 1-2 hours drive away!) |

The discussion about heat & humidity is making me giggle, 'cause FROST is forecast for downtown TO tonight, even by the lake (not unheard of, but kinda early) Crossing over to the 'majorly obsessed' thread, when the meteorologist mentioned "frost", I immediately thought of the dialogue between Gail & other characters about "Frosty" in enit3's "Diving Deep" - one of the stories I'm seriously in love with & doesn't belong on this (dislikes) thread!

Man, do I live in the wrong time zone or what!? So many interesting opinions to read and I agree with so many of you. :) What first came to mind when I saw the topic of this thread was; - Luke as an abuser. - Andy as a self harmer. - Sarah Swarek (I love this character without meeting her and I'm so picky when it comes to her that it's not even funny.) - First pov. (If it's well written I'm fine, if not, I read it with a frown on my face ) - Sam crying. Absolutely loathe it. Same goes for Andy falling to pieces while on the job. I'm okay with her crying, but NOT for for every bad hand she's given. - Baby fics/one night stands - Poor grammar. ( I feel like an ass for this since I'm clearly not an expert in English grammar, I can ignore some mistakes, but when the sentences doesn't make sense because of the grammar I'm out.) And whoever said that they peak at the reviews before they read the actual fic itself (can't remember who it was), I'm the same. Edited by enits3, Oct 13 2012, 03:13 AM.

I've gotta say, the lovely thing about coming on here after a spending some quality time with some friends is that there are normally a lot of new posts, but a new thread that's three pages long = awesomeness. This is a long post because I quoted a bunch of you (and yes, I cut the posts to pinpoint the point that I want to comment on) instead of going back and quoting (and this way you won't see like ten different posts from me). Before I start though, the one thing that I absolutely HATE is the pregnancy stories where Andy knows she's pregnant within a few hours. I understand messing up the pregnancy timeline - 9 months...40 weeks (although I was told by someone that once I have a kid I'll probably never mess up the timeline again in a fic) but really it is a matter of typing into google "when is the earliest a woman would know she is pregnant" As for the Fahrenheit/Celsius issue - what bugs me about it is that people just don't state what they're using at the beginning of the story. 9 times out of 10 I can figure it out but I try to use Celsius - and really, if you write it, anyone can go onto google or bing and type in "___ degrees in Celsius is what in Fahrenheit" or vice versa and it will bring you right to a calculator.
YES! After season one there were a TON of those - so I think I started off every Sam/Andy story with something along the lines of "Luke and Andy broke up..." because I feel that a lot of authors made him out to be bad so they could break up. I still love Luke, what he did was wrong and I didn't want him with Andy but that doesn't mean I didn't fall in love with his character. As for the grammar, I make mistakes as well (and normally catch them a few months later) but a couple of mistakes vs. every other sentence having a mistake is what really gets to me. It's times like that that used to cause me to sign out and anonymously review "great story but your grammar has a lot of issues, you might want to think about a beta reader" - now that there are so many stories, I normally just stop reading them
There was one? Really? I know that I wrote one but didn't post it because I was honestly freaked out that people would attack me for it.
Darn, does that mean I should go back for the story I'm working on and take out the "sweetheart"?
Andy crying on the job - I could actually see it. She has been close to tears a few times. In 1.12, Frank talks about how the cop makes the uniform. Andy brings her emotions out and I think it is a good thing. As for inaccuracies about Canada/Toronto - it's hard if you're not a local. Obviously I wouldn't talk about a Florida road trip because I think that is ridiculous but street names are sometimes tough.
SO TRUE!!!
I pretty much only read reviews for my stories (especially the anonymous ones that I can now decide not to let through) and some of them are really hilarious and I wish they would leave names so I could respond with "then why do you bother to watch?" |

it; it's definitely my preferred term of endearment from Sam to Andy because I seriously cannot see him calling her babe...
Does that make sense?
review?
