I was going to see Defiance with my mom today, but between her not feeling well and the weather being iffy, I ended up staying home with a rain check for the movie.

And, honestly, I didn't mind.

It was kind of nice being able to just relax and get a few chores done admist watching a few episodes of "Due South" and Mamma Mia!. The latter was better than I was expecting (granted, my expectations were quite low) and Colin Firth is always a draw for me. And I'm definitely loving "Due South". (Which I'm not really surprised about, considering it's right up my alley.)

Speaking of "Due South", where would be a good place for me to start in the fandom? Particularly with Fraser/Ray V. fics? (And do fen say Fraser, Benton, Benny, it just depends on the person?)

Most say Fraser (or Mr. Paul Gross -- Rock Star;) As for fics, you can go through the LJ comms as a start:

Cool! Thanks!

And is Fraser/Ray K the McShep of the fandom? Or does Fraser/Ray V give it a run for its money?

Some of us (like me) lived through the Ray Wars. It was a painful fandom time and we'd rather forget it. Now, most of us happily get along and some of us (like me) proudly Swing Both Rays. (For me, Ray V is my gen fandom, Ray K my slash fandom)

I've been in that situation in another fandom. (I was co-mod on a Spike list when a big war broke out between the Spike/Dru shippers and the Spike/Buffy shippers. It wasn't pretty.)

So far I'm totally a Fraser/Ray V slasher, but I honestly only saw a couple of the Ray K ones the first time around and that was back when it was first on (and I didn't have any concept of slash then). Somehow, the two of them just really work for me.
