dangermousieThis badfic update is brought to you by the fans of Roswell. Apologies to those for whom interest in Roswell=interest in hole in the ground. But this is funny nontheless.
Is there such a thing as good Roswell fic? I know I run a risk seeing that this is a teen oriented show, but surely I should be able to find fics that use proper spelling and punctuation and grammar and even have a decent plot? Please, do recommend.
As it is, browsing the Pit of Voles yields:
Love is never easy in Hollywood as the stars find out the hard way. Set in modern day time, Max Evans is the new star of the lastest movie Carpool while Liz Parker is just a small town girl. Will love ever go their way? What will Hollywood say?
If I had to set Roswell somewhere else, the set of "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton" would not be it.
this is the story of what I feel should have happened afetr roswell.........MArai and rath or maria and michael you decide.........still going to keep writing.not a one shot fic!
You know what I think should have happened after Roswell? You should have learned to spell. Btw, who is MArai, and why does she/he spell their name in such a peculiar fashion?
This is a remake of the epsiode.....I only remade the parts with Michael and Maria in the hotel.......read it please!
Which begs the question: what on earth is the point? Just read the script, it's on line.
Set in the future, the son of the great max evens decides to visit his father, a visit which may alter the course of history.
But what does a person named "evens" who clearly styles himself the next e.e. cummings have to do with Roswell?
AU: ML What if you fell in love at first sight, only to find out later that person was your family's sworn enemy?
I think poor Max and Liz have enough angst without being forced to take on Romeo & Juliet's as well.
The Royal Four really did leave during Departure, only Tess is not evil and Alex is still alive. Micheal and Liz had become best friends after she faked sleeping with Kyle. This is what happened to the group six years later. Currently a MichaelLiz frie
Basically, it's a "I take the characters and make them do something that has nothing to do with the show" fic. O-kaaaaay.
I sit here as a nervous wreck. My hands are clammy and my heart is pacing a thousand miles a second. I honestly don’t know what to do.
I know just how you feel. That's exactly how I feel when I see ff.net summaries.
AU. What if when Maria left for New York she really did make it big as a singer? This story focuses on Michael's infinite pain after that. Angst abounds.
You know, I am a sucker for abounding angst, but any fic that has "infinite pain" in the summary makes me giggle. Must be allergies.
Sequel to Darth Maxwell, Complete, 2 parts. Just who... or what... is Max's 14yearold son, Zan's, new girlfriend? Max, Michael and the group want to know. So does Nicholas.
*Chokes*
Max & Liz don't stop seeing each other. So, Liz's father sends her to Vermont. But Liz finds out something when she gets there that will change the rest of her & Max's life.
That Vermont has a nicer climate than Roswell? They move to Montpellier and open up a ski lodge.
Liz is a poor Irish Immigrant working for a rich New York Family, the Evans. Of course interest...
I don't know, I am sensing a lack of interest, here.
Alien Fic. Set after Sexual Healing but before Crazy, Max gets a pressing feeling to go somewhere, what happens when he and Liz finds what was causing Max to go searching for? what does it mean?
After seeing Sexual Healing (which made my apartment windows steam up), the only thing I can imagine Max searching for is a Cold Shower. Or, seeing the summary, maybe the capitalized letters at the start of sentences that the author seems to have misplaced.
Tess's funeral IM BACK!
OK, now this makes me think of a Zombie Terminator :)
Xover with Harry Potter. It is Harrys last year at Hogwarts, when Liz has a vision telling the Roswell teens to travel there, not knowing what they are going to meet in a world where Voldemort is still alive. Some romance but not the main focus
I think my brain has just died.
We re-experience what has been happening between Future-Max, Present-Max and Liz in "The End Of The World" and how Max and Liz deal with it afterwards, finally getting the chance to talk about it in private.
Yes, I know not the author's intention, but for some reasons, thoughts of a really hot and twisted threesome are running through my head right about now :)
And to make self feel better after pit of voles, a pic:
OK, now I feel better.

I'd be seriously surprised if there wasn't fic out there that covers just that.

Date: 2005-08-09 07:57 pm (UTC)I have 6 more eps in S1 left but at the rate I am going I'll be done tomorrow and...*gnashes teeth*
no subject
Date: 2005-08-09 08:01 pm (UTC)Like I said, lots of S1 fans didn't like it, because there was some behind the scenes changes and everything.
I'm actually biting my nails on whether you will like Tess, who is coming up. I liked her because I thought the actress was too adorable for words. So I did sympathize with her initial plights. But for a lot of Liz/Max fans she was like nails on a chalkboard.

Date: 2005-08-09 08:09 pm (UTC)Actually I have to admit that I tend to loathe characters who come between an OTP of my choice. Now, I mind find loathing them entertaining, but I don't like them. So I think Tess will go the way of the Dodo with me. Sorry.
And as a parting gift, the opening paragraph of the Hollywood badfic. Because it's perfect in its badness.
Elizabeth Parker lived in Roswell, New Mexico all her life. She grew up to be a gorgeous with luscious dark brown hair. She was slim, and had beautiful amber brown eyes. She was a straight-A student at high school and was now in her second year at Northwestern University. Maria DeLuca was a strawberry blond girl the same age as Liz. They’ve been best friends ever since Elementary School after they bonded over saving a little bird. Naima Lucas, a sweet half Mexican, half American girl is Liz’s close uni-mate.

Honestly, I'd feel that way too emotionally draining. If I ever started to *hate* a character, I'd immediately stop watching a show. To me it's either like or indifference/boredom. I like triangles if they are equal and I appreciate a good/creative obstacle that is keeping a couple apart, rather than a stupid one.

Date: 2005-08-09 08:32 pm (UTC)Sort of like in Harry Potter, I loathe Voldie, but there wouldn't be a book without him.
no subject
Date: 2005-08-09 08:43 pm (UTC)I mean Glory, The Master or all those other Buffy villains. Never hated any of them. I hated Faith though, not as a villain though, but because she annoyed me.
Or take Palpatine. I could never hate Palpatine. He's so evil and smart! Gotta appreciate cunning like that.

Date: 2005-08-09 10:50 pm (UTC)Amd yay on the prettiness. That's the reason I first got interested in the show in the first place. Shallow, me? Of course.

Date: 2005-08-10 12:15 am (UTC)I've found some good fic, but it's all Michael/Maria centric. And I love those characters and the ship, but I just want some Max/Liz stuff. *sigh*
no subject
Date: 2005-08-10 04:24 am (UTC)I did write one. A long time ago. It's...decent. I guess. But it's based in the third season. You probably won't understand it... Otherwise, I think you're pretty much SOL.
(Did you try going to the first few pages that were posted? Not the recent crap but before people discovered FFn? Normally there's less idiocy there...)
