Daily Pilots Post

So, I was sitting here, working on a project for tomorrow's DPP, occasionally refreshing my flist, and I started thinking "That's weird, the DPP is usually up by now, I wonder why it hasn't been posted yet." And it actually took me a little while to figure out that this DPP won't go up until *duh* I post it. It's been that kind of day.

SO! For today's DPP, discuss:

Angst vs. Fluff! (I picture here a cage match between Lee, fully emo'd out, and a small white kitten. Right now, the kitten is the odds-on favourite. ;) )

Which do you prefer to read? Which do you write? (I prefer fluffier, but tend to write angstier XD) Which do you associate more with the fandom?

P.S. I direct you to yesterday's post and rachelindeed's summary of the biggest difference between fanon and canon:

In conclusion, have you noticed that Kara and Lee get it on constantly in fanon whereas they almost never do in canon? I know it's a subtle thing, but I have picked up on that divergent trend in fanfiction :)

Made my day.

I love both. Dreadfully. But I love them best when mixed together in perfect harmony. And especially after living through the real-time loss and despair that was the finale, I crave happy endings like Bill Clinton craves a Big Mac.

I needs it to heal. Even after all this time, the rage is still strong with this one.

I also think that writing an effective happy ending that doesn't feel overwrought is one of the most difficult things in this world to successfully pull off-- and I bow down to those who can make it happen.
