DPP - Roundup and a final question ...

[reginaspina.livejournal.com]

First of all, I want to say a huge THANK YOU all of you who participated in this week's DPP posts. You can't see me, but I'm giving you all a slow clap. And if you missed any of this week's posts, here's a recap:

On Valentine's Day, we discussed great pilot kisses. Don't forget to check the comments where there are hothot GIFS and photos.

Then we talked about poetry that reminds us of pilots. If you like poetry at all, there's some gorgeous stuff posted in there!

On the third day of Christmas Pilot!Shipping, we talked about the point of no return, the moment when Kara/Lee was doomed as a 'ship, and whether there was, in fact, any point of no return at all.

Next up was a day of quintessential Pilots scenes along with some fan favorites. Again, make sure you look at the comments for prettiful things!

On Friday, I wanted to know whether switching genders would have made a difference to how we viewed this relationship. The result was some very interesting and thoughtful comments which I am still mulling over.

Yesterday, I took a day off... (Sorry, I'm a lazy nugget!) And today I leave you with a slightly different question. A few friends and I were discussing the evolution of PIlots!Fic and whether fic written before the end of the show had a more hopeful and optimistic bent which was crushed out of fandom by the ending of the show. For myself (and I may not be the best example due to not being very prolific), I've been writing fic since episode 1.3 or so, and I think I've always been gloomy and depressing and angst-obsessed, long before the finale. (For me, this show was always all about the angst, even though I appreciated the rare moments of levity and laughter!) But I'm curious to hear what you think.

Again, thanks so much to everyone for participating and making my first DPP week so much fun!
