For some reason, I'm not quite sure why - okay, it was probably boredom - I watched the first episode of season 3 of Teen Wolf. And then the next one. And the next one. And now I'm caught up on the first season, eagerly waiting for the new episode tomorrow, and already have some vague fic ideas that I will most likely never write. How did that happen.
It's become obvious very quickly that the actual show and the majority of fanworks have very little to do with one another. On the one hand, good, I like the actual show much better, but it also means that despite the thousands of fics on the AO3 it's hard to find the kind of fic I want to read. I suddenly have renewed sympathy for SGA fans who didn't like McShep; Sterek seems if possible even more of a fandom OTP, or perhaps I just haven't found the other parts yet. Not that I mind reading it, some stories are good, but most of them are so very obviously either AU or OOC or frequently both and not what I want at all.
( Thoughts about season 1 )
Sure, the show is cheesy (some of the romance scenes, some of the howling-at-the-moon scenes, the frequent shirtlessness, the villains are very dramatic), but it's also more often than I expected genuinely good, and I'm enjoying it a lot. New episode tomorrow, yay!
