I was right in the middle of commenting and replying when the mail arrived and this dropped on my doormat...

Now that's true dedication; letting your exercises come between you and watching pretty boys flirt with each other.

You know, I totally blame Colin and Bradley for luring me back to the dark sparkly RPS side.

Yeah. And then I got to the gym and my trainer wasn't there and I realised that I must have gotten the day wrong. But I still did my exercise program while I was there anyway!!!

I don't know why but the Colin/Bradley RPS doesn't do much for me - and I've read a few now. I don't know if it's because I just can't see them do it, or because I don't like the characterisation that Bradley gets - Colin is always interesting but Bradley is mostly portrayed as a bit stupid or naive or prattish or silly...all of which he probably is in RL but not in my dreams!!!

I actually get the impression that Bradley is a damn nice guy. His jokes are a bit lame sometimes, but mostly in that way I recognize myself, when the really witty retort always comes a couple of minutes too late when the conversation has already moved on, you know? And I get the impression he's a decent guy, genuinely sensitive. The more I like him, the more I want fics to reflect that impression I'm getting of him, and in the two fics I rec in my next post I get that.

I specifically don't like the fics where Colin get pictured as sort of the opposite of the impression he gives. So he's a chainsmoking, cursing, very experienced guy who almost aggressively seduces Bradley after working himself through the whole cast and crew of Merlin.

Ok I'll have to check out those two fics then :-)

Well you are right of course. I don't think that kind of fic reflects Colin's personality at all.
