Can't choose, won't choose, Lol - it was really just to see people chatting about Pros, and yeay it worked! Most people say they can't really choose a favourite ep or fic or vid etc., and I'm one of them too. I've defended The Gun myself on numerous occasions (although it's certainly not an ep I go back to again and again either, but it has it's lovely moments - from what you've said here and elsewhere, we'd probably disagree on what they are, but I love it as a slashy ep!)
Hmmn, not sure I want to imagine CGI fic... I love the eps, and I love the fic that has been written as a result of filling in the gaps that they left us, and I love the physical act of reading it... I dream more that they discover a whole new series that was filmed but never admitted to... *g*
Interesting that you describe Waiting to Fall as "imaginative" - its actually the inclusion of the specific parts of the eps that grates on me in that story (and some of the characterisation, iirc - I've not re-read it for a while). I think the things that I've seen in the eps are embedded in my own version of the show, and when I read someone else's translation of the show it throws me more than extending it in directions that are completely new... Don't think I've read Easy Prey, and again perhaps I should, but the emphasis on how gen it is has put me off... I like alot of gen fic - but I want to see the same relationship between the lads in the stories as I do on screen, even if it's not taken further, so I'm wary of reading the stories that loudly proclaim themselves "gen".
And excellent - always nice to see ladsy icons in my flist!
