Fic Writing, Films and F1

Fic writing:

So I'm trying to write Xavier gen fic set during First Class. Accent on the trying. In between trying to shut Magneto up (no, this is not the fic about you. If you behave I will get to that fic sooner.), and having to go, "no, Charles, gen-fic. You know, gen fic. If you could possibly put the pom-poms down and stop chanting 'Erik is awesome' for 5 minutes this will go easier" (it's set during the training sequence).

It's either that or give up and just accept any fic I write for these is always going to be against a background of 'they're in love, yes, even/especially while they're trying to stop each other', but it will genfic within that background.

I think it one of those things where I call any fic where the focus isn't on romance gen fic, but I know other people don't. (I'm right by the way ;) )

Films

On the recent Leicester jaunt I watched ( The Raid )

I also saw the Avengers for the first time since I saw it at the cinema. At some point I will post about it properly but on re-watching I liked the same things I liked before and disliked same thing as originally.

( The deleted scenes )

I also saw "Team America", I think my suspicion that it's just not my thing was backed up by the fact that I forgot I'd watched it until I was reminded by a text message.

Unrelated to the above, but I think the problem with Mission Impossible 2 is that the bad guys are more interesting than the good guys.

Formula 1

( Japanese Grand Prix )
