Hey everyone,
And welcome to one of this month's fabulous monthly challenges: Fandom Squee. For all of you who aren't taking on NaNoWriMo this month or if you want a little break from the hardcore speed writing then we are here to help :)
How this is going to work is me and
flipflop_diva are going to be providing fandom based encouragement each day of this month. Weekdays will each have a specific fandom basis and weekends will be more general. Our challenge to you is to rave an acceptable amount about the fandoms you love and try to create something for each day. There will be a reward for anyone that participates on any day and a special reward for people who try something new and create something for each day!
First up is:
So anything from Arrow, Supergirl, Flash, Constantine or Legends of Tomorrow.
WARNING: There will no doubt be spoilers below for the new serieses (is that the right word?) of each of these shows (apart from Constantine *sobs*) so be careful and no blatent spoilers please.
Now these are all fandoms very close to my heart, I only started watching Arrow at the beginning of last season and now I am addicted. I love Oliver's character and Stephen Amell's protrayal is fabulous. So of course when I caught up on Arrow I had to watch all the others and have not regreted it yet.

Although I am slightly disappointed with the beginning of this season of Flash but that is probably just me. I hope once they get into it it will get better!

And finally from me, can we all talk about Constantine, because that show should have had way more than one season and I would have loved to see John turning up in all of the crossovers and making a nuisance of himself :D
So what do you guys think? Discuss ... and create :D
Happy November!

Date: 2016-11-01 12:12 pm (UTC)Love Arrow too...but John Constantine has my heart. He's gonna have to return to my Daredevil fics soon I think...I miss writing him...and he's got a robbery to undertake as a 'favor' for someone who helped him out last time around lol.

Date: 2016-11-01 05:39 pm (UTC)And I'm still waiting to see if the rumors about him popping up on Legends of Tomorrow pan out too...because I want him to play with Ray Palmer :P

Date: 2016-11-01 09:12 pm (UTC)Although him on Supernatural would be brilliantly funny!

Date: 2016-11-01 09:13 pm (UTC)We'll just put Constantine in everything...have him walk across the screen in his trenchcoat, cigarette hanging from his mouth...that would work for me ;)

Date: 2016-11-01 12:46 pm (UTC)The Flash is definitely my favorite (though I do heartily agree that this season has been BLEH, so far) ; and Legends, I am enjoying FAR more than I expected too. Arrow... it's a little dark for my taste, and I'm so over the flashbacks.. but I keep watching because I'm invested in the 'verse.
Aside from the Flash crossover episode, I only just mainlined Supergirl a few weeks ago, in preparation for it joining the team, and found that I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
I still miss Smallville.I've only seen Constantine on his Arrow episode, but enjoyed his snark quite a bit!
I'm really hoping for some actual backstory of Damien Darhk on LoT, because Arrow just didn't give me a real good reason to not like him. And it is REALLY hard for me to find a reason to not like a bad guy Neal plays because he plays bad SOOOOO good. But, yeah.. I wasn't impressed by Damien's "evil".
Also, I say this as a DCTV fan. I have zero interest in any of the films.
for the new serieses (is that the right word?)
It's just series. Like sheep. ;)

Date: 2016-11-01 03:18 pm (UTC)I am also looking forward more Damien Darhk, it is explained so fast that he is like a rogue immortal assassin but then they gloss over it and it is assumed that you'll dislike him because he's the villian.
Constantine is the best, the series is so snarky but it is very dark, as you would expect from a series about an wise-cracking exorcist :D
I really liked Man of Steel (Henry Cavill <3) but all the others are kinda disappointing :(. Hoping for good things from Wonder Woman and Justice League
Thanks, words aren't working today!

Date: 2016-11-01 03:21 pm (UTC)But I am all for inside jokes (like Oliver's comment about liking a hockey mask for a vigilante two weeks back)
I'm having a hard time taking the Bratva stuff seriously, but I blame that entirely on casting. *snuggles Zelenka*
at least all my Stargate actors are staying employed, thanks to the CWno subject
Date: 2016-11-01 03:25 pm (UTC)The inside jokes are the best jokes!
Yeah I just love like the Bratva workings and how it was the final straw in turning Oliver into the Arrow :)

Date: 2016-11-01 01:10 pm (UTC)Also, whaaaaaat? I had no idea there was a Constantine series! I must see it! Gosh, I am sucking at TV viewing this year, y'all.

Date: 2016-11-01 03:09 pm (UTC)Thankfully, CW was able to kinda-sorta pick it up and reclaim it.

Date: 2016-11-01 03:19 pm (UTC)I got the first three seasons on DVD for my birthday and just binged them all! It was so satisfying.
Question
Date: 2016-11-01 05:02 pm (UTC)Can I enter in December and also get a banner? ._.
