Kathy2611 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I happen to agree with you but don't bite a person's head off. It is his/her opinion and they should feel comfortable expressing it. This goes for everyone here. I may not agree with all the opinions here but I try to respect them without being mean. No I am not trying to start anything. I just want our forum to be one where we can sometimes agree to disagree without fear is all. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalkyep your right which is why I said "no offense" and like some have said on here, it's hard to "get" the persons tone when it's in writing. DoctorWhat (I love that name btw, lol), apologies if that response came off too bitchy but I just don't see how the writers could have Sheldon willingly date someone else even if it's to make Amy jeoulous. Been there, done that.However, I do like the idea of some girl showing interest in him and he doesn't have a clue until someone tells him and he's like, "Oh, sorry. I only want Amy."

A Shamy gal Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I still think that a very funny thing would be a girl trying to get him to notice her / date her because she knows he's now single, while he'll still be Sheldon being Sheldon and not getting a thing. Amy seeing this and somehow hearing him tell the girl Amy's the only one he could ever love because Penny or Leonard had told him what the girl really wants.Could be a key moment for Amy to rethink her break-up decision. If they did that it would have to be someone, because every girl at Caltech will know what he's like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boys3allc Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I don't think they would go there with Sheldon dating someone else. Maybe Amy. But I would still hate that. IMO.... They are not going to go there at all. That this will be a push pull situation with a resolution by November. But I don't practice Santeria I ain't got no crystal ball.

Luna18 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The New Beginning ExperimentOh yes I've also read a few chapters of that one but didn't keep up with it. I have to agree that the author is very talented and writes well but I dislike how the characters end up so OOC that I can't recognise them anymore. I could say the same thing for The Chaos Cognizance which is very well-written by a talented author but at one point I just couldn't recognise the characters anymore. I found that both Sheldon and Amy became way too sentimental. With that said they're both fanfics so there's no problem there. However, I sure hope Sheldon stays true to his quirky, pragmatic and endearingly unconventional self after he and Amy reconcile. I mean I'd like them to be just little bit more openly affectionate with each other but still save onscreen kisses for special occasions. I'd rather not see Sheldon become a horndog whenever he and Amy are in the same room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koops Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I didn't say he would be actually interested in other women,nor did I mean that Amy would actually be jealous,this would never work.I just think you could do it because as I hear he went to the pathetic means of putting Penny's bra in a box to make Amy jealous.I don't see how a date is worse than that.What I didn't remember is that he had other dates,perhaps because I don't think of them as such,I don't know.I still think it would be funny anyway.The whole "first and only" thing doesn't appeal to me at all,that's why I'd liked it changed. That fanfiction you mentioned though...no ideaBut that's what Shamy have always been about and what makes them endearing to the audience. It's what Mayim and Jim focus on when it comes to their acting choices and the whole commitment to each other despite the lack of physical intimacy and the unusual nature of their dynamic is one of their main selling points. I remember there was a great review about Fortification where the reviewer hit the nail on the head when they said that out of the whole group Shamy were the ones who spent most of their lives isolated and shunned by people and are now for the first time experiencing these things that they never had a chance to together and building a life together. It's like the two humans who found each other in a world of dogs. If you don't like the "first and only" dynamic they have going on, there's tons of other couples out there, but if you take that away, you have pretty much any other couple on this or any other show. The breakup plot device is cliche' enough without throwing in new love interests. And, at the cost of sounding like one of those people who don't pay attention and shake their fist at the sky saying "where's the science!!" despite the science episodes being in there, this is not meant to be a romcom. People are rant enough when they have the handful of relationship-centered episodes in a season, last thing we need is some revolving doors of love interests thrown in for good measure. They went there with Leonard already after he broke up with Penny, I'd hope they can come up with something better than Lenny 2.0 and get back to them doing FWF or experimenting on their friends and if there has to be any jealousy, let it be over Amy handing out her math on street corners.

Susana Alcira Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 There is another FF where Amy had "her first time" with another man, then she married that man and Sheldon ended being like a robot! Of course it is a FF but I don´t liked it at all, because SHAMY was destroyed for ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koops Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I find it to be the opposite. Writing Sheldon comes fairly easily to me, it's Amy that I struggle to pin down, because I find that her characterization fluctuates a lot on the show that it's hard to pinpoint. I find that I stick closer to S4/5 Amy, probably because that's the one that had the biggest impact on how I look at her as a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koops Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) I find S6-7 Amy rather watered down. She's most of the time written like a regular girl in a relationship with an exasperating weirdo, especially in S6. S7 is better. Also, S4 and 5 Amy was arrogant as hell, and did have a backbone. I think S6 Amy was the backbone-less one. S8 Amy I think is the best compromise: she's evolved enough to be her own character and I guess their relationship is at a stage where you can do more with without straying too far from canon, and at the same time her nerdy streak from S4-5 was back, so there's lots of fun to be had with that. But I haven't been writing anything since S8 started, so I haven't had a stab at this version yet. Edited August 23, 2015 by koops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using TapatalkNow I say this as someone who had had ideas for stories but never really got down to putting it out there. I would think that S4-5 Amy would be so much more fun to write because get quirkiness was so much more in display. I find S7 Amy to be more on the boring side and less unique. Which is why her characterization in S8 was so welcome. Anyway, if the characters are OOC it just pulls me out if the story. I instance understand taking liberties to write your story but to me I feel it had to be a normal progression I feel the characters would make. These stories seem to become more fantasy of how people wish the characters were than a representation of who they are. Not my cup of tea, but hey, it is fan fiction and it wonderful creative outlet.

Season 6 Amy is the back boneless Amy that I was referring to. I season 7 and 8 are the same only in season 8 she seems vaguely dissatisfied with their relationship in the end hence my penchant for season 7 Amy.

Luna18 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I have never written any fanfiction so I can't help but respect those who are able to write so well (some even better than the actual writers of the show ).I think my favourite TBBT fanfic writer would be Angelic Guardian as she is able to keep the characters so IC and write wonderful addictive stories. I've also read a few fanfics of someone called Hazelra7 (I think) and I find that she's very talented and creative as well but often depicts the characters in an OOC way (like Sheldon is too sentimental and horny and Bernie is too mean)...

Sheldon and sex can be a problem, because you want to show that he does have interest now, but he often comes across as too horny. It's finding the balance.

I think the way Sheldon shows romance on the show is endearing than watching or reading some clichéd and unrealistic romance novel version of him. But, I find that type of stuff off putting anyway. But everyone has their own tastes. Luckily, the show does a pretty good job of showcasing the type of romance I enjoy seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
