DPP: Wish List & Coping

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

During the last few episodes of BSG, I was scribbling down all of my thoughts and predictions as to what might happen during the finale. Then the finale happened and I needed to find a way to accept what happened and how it ALL ended. So other than crying, talking with all of you lovely peeps; I wrote a list in the middle of the night. My version of what I’m thankful for that we got to see with pilots and what I wish we had gotten to see. This list made me more functional for the work week after the finale.

What I would like to know is what did you all do to cope with finale? Did you rewrite the end; create happy pilot gifs and icons? Did you make lists? I’m really curious about those who came into fandom after the finale.  Also, did anyone else have a wish list for pilots, things that we should have gotten to see?

Here is a link for a zip file of all the songs mentioned in yesterday's DPP: Megaupload

If this doesn't work or you want me to post it on another sight, just let me know.

How I coped with the finale--
lots of crying, lots of chocolate, lots of reading shipper comms on LJ to make myself feel better that I wasn't alone in feeling like my heart was ripped out and thrown on the floor.
And I wrote a short fix it finale starting at the point when Lee and Kara watched Adama and Roslin fly away. (fanfiction.net, username desertpalm).
Reading other shippers' fix it fics and thoughts on LJ, esp. rants and sparkle!rage, also helped A LOT with the coping. And leiascully's AU:NY helps too because I really really like the idea they were reincarnated in present time- like that finale deleted scene of them walking together. disclaimer: the deleted scene that is shipper wishful thinking not reality

Well said!!! Crying had become a regular thing after the finale. I think I lived on LJ because of the rants and discussions and such. Thank god for all of those fix it fics, they were the only source of comfort those days.

I'll have to check out the fic.
