Hey thanks for the thought out reply. No worries about Michael Chriton. I've never considered myself cultured, and I kinda figured that just admiting that I actually find enjoyment in one thing that the masses seem to enjoy kinda sets me up to take a few jabs. I usually run from anything that the proles tend to enjoy.
Maybe the MartySueness of Chriton's work is what attracts me to his stories. When all this bad crap is happening in the world and you feel completley impotent when it comes to doing anything about it, I must admit that it's nice reading a story and putting myself in a position where I can actually make a difference. At least, that's how I read his work. I nearly always imagine myself as the main character that I associate my own tendancies the most with.

Oh, Christ... how I would LOVE to say I hate them- if I hadn't already wrote one! Though, I'm glad to say, she was gone after a few chaps...

I wanna take the Bullet,
The one aimed straight for your Heart;
I wanna meet the wolves halfway,
And let them Tear me APART,
But that's not the way they do it here...
THRICE RULES!!!!!!!!!

LOL! I still don't like Ben though. So there - I maintain some individuality!Quote:If I were a guy, I probably would go for this stuff too! But I'm a little sensitive to how characters are portrayed as far as gender, and can't get past it with him...

So what's my guilty pleasure? Oh yes, the writing is *abominable* and the extras are chosen for good looks rather than acting ability, but I did sit in for several seasons of Charmed. Most definitely there was identification with the main characters, despite all the shortcomings of the show.
I just never got why they whinged so much about wanting to be normal. As if it's better to work 8 hours days and pay taxes and change diapers for a living. Yick.
