lmao it's 3:30 am i can't read

uh i only watch la, so that's what this list is

for fantasy, there's merlin, which is very popular and has a shitton of really, really good merlin/arthur fanfic. the show itself is of varying quality, but can usually be depended upon for being funny.

legal drama/comedy has suits, which is a smaller fandom with some pretty quality fic. harvey/mike is the main pairing and has some clever authors, but it's pretty small.

sci-fi has stargate: atlantis, which is one of my favorites. it was at one point a huge fandom (esp the john/rodney section) and is a personal favorite. it requires a lot of time and dedication to get to the point where it's addictive, but you don't have to watch the original stargate series to understand it -- i never bothered.

if you're into shitty hilaribad teen supernatural "drama", teen wolf is my guilty pleasure of choice. stiles/derek is hot as hell (but one of the characters is probably (?) underage -- i guesstimate 16 -- and the other is a 20-something) and has only one season out with another starting up in june. the first episode is absolute shit, but the following 11 are varying levels of funny.

Ooh. I was hoping for some series with canon m/m, actually, but I'll take this too. I have been meaning to watch Merlin, I've enjoyed RPing with the characters and Arthurian remixes are always a good time. Never heard of Suits! I've actually watched a fair bit of the original Stargate and some of Atlantis so I do enjoy that 'verse, I've just never gotten into the fandom for it. Is Teen Wolf about werewolves??

oh, sorry! i don't actually like most lgbqt shows because they tend to... not really be all that good. just a bunch of the same cliches over and over, so i just pretend everyone is gay in the primetime shit.

suits had a really brief burst of popularity while it was airing and i enjoyed it a lot, but things have definitely died down. it's not like "omg best show EVER" but it entertained me.

and teen wolf is a remake of the teen wolf movie from the 80s, only they fucked around with it so much that it doesn't matter. it's about this kid named scott who gets bitten by a werewolf and is suddenly amazingly good at lacrosse and attractive to girls for the ~FIRST TIME~ and we're supposed to really like him, but all anyone cares about is scott's human bff stiles and the last remaining werewolf from the town, derek, who is very obviously madly in love with stiles but is too antagonistic to just fuck him already. i would like to stress guilty pleasure, since the show itself is pretty bad to start with, but the plot does get interesting and there are a few curveballs if you can put up with a lot of cheese and a terrible protagonist.

oddly enough, teen wolf is the only of the shows with a canonically gay character, who only gets a little bit of screentime, but it's heavily implied stiles might be bisexual. pretty much everyone assumes it, at least.

Ah I see! I'm actually primarily on the animanga/videogame side of things so I'm not terribly aware of trends in LA, but sounds like everyone's got the same problems on that end, lol.

... Yeah Teen Wolf does sound up my alley, I do have a weakness for ridiculous shows that incidentally redeem themselves with fun characters and being ridiculous. Thanks again for the recs!

oh there's also the hawaii 5-0 remake, which is surprisingly good for the first season right up to the finale, and then the second season was less good but better than the trainwreck of that last fucking episode. steve/danno is the slash pairing of choice.

I've heard of that one! One of my friends was big into it, so I'll definitely have to look it up. Thanks, anon!

Oh Teen Wolf.

I do like this show, but I'll +1 the shittiness of the first episode. If you can get over that hump (and a lot of people couldn't with good reason) I'll also + a million to the Stiles/Derek corner of fandom. There is some kinky, hilarious, good fanfic writers out there for such a stupid MTV series, haha.

It's also on Netflix, so if you have that check it out.
