DPP: Your K/L Origin Story

[plaid-slytherin.livejournal.com]

Hey guys! I'm PS and I'll be doing the DPPs for this week. I guess I'm still kind of new to K/L, so I thought I'd start out with something basic. It might be good for the old hands to look back at this again and us newbies can share for the first time.

How did you first get into BSG? Who were you drawn to first? When did you start shipping Kara/Lee? How did you get over to the fandom and this corner of it? What was the first fic you read or wrote? Reminisce howevermuch you'd like. :)

I watched BSG February of 2010. I really like the chemestry of Lee and Kara from the brig scene but it was the scene when Lee comes back from the dead that sold me. I just remember thinking "She loves him" and sighing happily.

I found fandom and fic as soon as I realized there was no way K/L would be the couple I wanted them to be, the couple who knew just how poorly two people fit in a hospital bed. It was another three months before I actually said anything or wrote anything. The first thing I wrote was for a ficathon here at N_T.

That scene will always have a special place in my heart, even after knowing what was done to them by canon :(

Sometimes I can't believe that scene became teh mess that is canon. I mean, how can you watch that scene, the mini, hell all of S1 and not end up with something better? Arg!!!

It's not even as if I hate canon, but between contrived obstacle alternative hookups (and don't even get me started on the whole 'reason to live' business) and poofs, I definitely have days when I do.

Thank goodness for fic, is all I can say.

I could take the contrived obstacle hook-ups if not for the poof and I could have taken the poof if the sacrifice had been for each other instead of all those other reasons to live. Basically if the whole rest of the story had been different. ;)

I could have taken anything if they'd just left Kara in that field. We already know she's a dead girl walking/angel/whatever, she doesn't need to poof for a point to be made!

I hate everyone.

Sorry.

Sorry for sounding like such a grump bb (I don't actually hate everyone, and certainly never anyone here!)

[kdbleu.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you actually hated everyone just the appropriate hatable people. hee.

It's funny, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the storyline when I watched for the first time. (Well, I did get tired of it because it was boring to me but that was because those weren't the characters I cared about.) So yeah, I can kind of see how that might happen...

Which oddly makes me feel better that if Kara and Lee weren't your focus, their canon story isn't as upsetting. :)



BTW, I can't watch any scene with your OTP wihtout thinking "Wow, how did they just ignore that relationship?" hee.

Oh, don't get me started! I hate how they barely interact in S4 and I can't shake the idea that we were meant to think Bill never quite got used to him being a Cylon and thus things were never the same. :(

The parallels are endless I replace Bill with Lee and try to figure out how Lee would leave Kara after she came back from the dead. I mean really!?!
