suki_blueI finally got around to buying the original UK Queer as Folk on DVD so I could throw out my videos which are sort of stretched and worn in certain places ~cough~. I am now totally obsessed with Vince. He really is one of the cutest guys I've ever clapped eyes on. Wierdly, when I originally watched the show, I liked Stuart and Nathan. Apparently my tastes have matured. And this might sound terribly odd, but I so see him with Ianto! That might be partly due to my ever-present Ianto obsession, but I think they'd make a lovely couple, Ianto all sweetly stoic and Vince chattering on. Let us all take a moment to also consider the hotness.
After I worked myself up into a state of OMGLOVE!OMGLOVE!OMGLOVE! I decided it was time to continue watching the US version of QAF, so I purchased and watched Season 3. Now I have a BURNING desire to read Michael/Ben fic because those two are so fricking cute together and SUKI IS IN LOVE!!!
So, who on my flist is into the QAF fandom, either versions? Any Vince recs? And where can I find decent US QAF communities and fic? Is the Michael/Ben pairing popular at all? Where can I get icons? I need a beginners guide! And does anyone know when season 4 and 5 will be released in the UK?
Someone feed my obsession!!!

But the real reason I commented was because I often find that re-watching something ends up with me fancying someone different. I think getting older does have something to do with it. I also find that if you love someone desperately, and then fall out of love with them (or forsake them for someone else), seeing them again can be quite painful.

Yeah, it's weird, isn't it, how our tastes change with time. I used to be utterly obsessed with Johnny Depp. For 14 years I thought about him every day. Then along came Xander and BOOM! the Johnny Depp love fled like a labrador running away from a bath.

Date: 2009-01-25 05:32 pm (UTC)I'm totally obsessed with QaF US. I've seen the UK version as well but prefer the US version. I think most of it is because of the awesomenes that is Gale Harold. Totally obsessed with him.
No idea if/when seasons four and five are going to be published on region 2. Waiting for that myself too. Although, in my opinion the series went downhill during those seasons. Of course they do have their highlights as well but I prefer the first three seasons.
Some communities where you might find Michael/Ben fics could be

Date: 2009-01-25 06:16 pm (UTC)I need to re-watch the first two seasons now because I've forgotten so much about them, but season 3 rocked very hard. Are season 4 and 5 short seasons, too?
Thank you for the links, hon!

Date: 2009-01-25 06:44 pm (UTC)Just noticed I messed up one of the community names. The last one was supposed to be
Yeah, fourth season has 14 eps and the fifth has 13 eps. A bit shorter than the first ones.
