Time Killer and Random Stuff - Kidhood

angearia made the suggestion that I do the Narrative Likes/Dislikes meme, the only problem being that I don't know how to do it. I'm not sure what they are. I know I have narrative preferences, but I'm not always conscious of it.

However, a few years ago I sussed out that I have 'thing' for fate vs. free will when doing some meme about recurring themes in our own fanfic. I realized that though the fanfics I had written were in different fandoms and had different plot lines, they each had pivoted on a questions of free will... usually by playing with something that looked a heck of a lot like 'fate'.

So maybe the way for me to discover the answer to the meme is to look at the stories I've followed and liked. Since it's already quite late, what I'm posting is limited to my kidhood... ( Read more... )

So, I don't know. What does that say so far? That I watched too much TV?

That I was a sucker for high concept stuff virtually from the cradle?

That I have a penchant for bickering/bantering couples solving improbable mysteries (actually, I know I'm a sucker for that. So I guess that definitely goes into a 'like' column). And even as a kid had a thing for men with foreign accents?

That if there's a ghost involved, I'm going to assume that it's a stupid guy in a mask, but lizard men and Tyrannosaurs are scary!

And that while I have a perverse enjoyment of post-apocalyptic stuff (This is true), I'm also highly tolerant of wholesome all the way to the downright sacchrine.

And it's now excessively late, so maybe I'll do teen and adulthood another time. (Actually reading through this stuff, kidhood clearly imprinted on me because my tastes haven't strayed all that far afield...)
