Hee, we differ a bit. Though I totally respect your opinion.
I really have enjoyed a lot of the plot aspects. I quite enjoy the shirtless scenes and I have no problem (in fact I applaud) much of the gay content - having a teenage role model of an openly gay star athlete with a lot of straight friends is awesome and says a lot about how progressive society is finally becoming. The Scott/Allison relationship, in my opinion, is rather like teenage relationships everywhere - hot and cold and a bit lame to anyone forced to watch. Also not something that bothers me. I love the various characters, the funny moments... In fact I really I feel I get more out of the show than they ever intended. After all this is a show where the main season one DVD extra was a shirtless montage. You certainly can't accuse them of not understanding their audience.
Season 3 is so far rather confusing, but I think they will eventually put it all together. There's some plot in there, just not revealed yet.
My issue with fandom is, yes I get that there was a lot of amusing Stiles/Derek subtext. Roll with it, I really don't mind. I get it. But where is the gen, the het, the little moments people thought were missing from the show...other than the bits where Derek and Stiles did X?
When I start reading in a fandom, I'm not looking for PWP and to be honest I rarely am even later. It's not my thing. I'm looking for my favourite characters interacting as an extension of my show. But in some fandoms, it's just not there. *sad face*
So does this mean you're writing Teen Wolf fic, Miss? *bats eyelids* I want some gen... or something plotty. *nodnods* I'd totally settle for Derek & Stiles, rather than Derek/Stiles. Anyone got any of that? :)
