Let me know who you are!

Meme shamelessly stolen from lavvyan and bluespirit_star...


"I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Some of you I don't know at all because I didn't friend you back (yet?). Perhaps you haven't been around for long, perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you for your interest in my words.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so..."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear."


So, dear f-list - give me some fun random facts about yourselves!

I'll start:  I've known I was going to be a writer since I was twelve years old. That's when I started writing my first novel. It sucked and I only got halfway but it got me hooked. Since then I've finished two novel drafts in English and one in Swedish, plus a number of short stories. Nothing is published yet...

Since I found slash about 10 years ago, I find it really difficult to read a normal fiction book. Non-fiction is fine but if I read fiction I inevitably want the male protagonists to end up together. *g*

Comment stealing (sorry Zin...!) but I'm so glad you said that. I find the exact same thing... I discovered slash about 2 years ago and now really only read fiction books when I'm on holiday and have no internet access. I'm very relieved to find I'm not alone... Does slash rot your brain?!? Anyone else find the same thing??

I like to think that I just have very refined reading tastes now. ;-)

very refined reading tastes
Ah, you see, that is much better. Thank you for setting me straight.
;)

Very 'straight' indeed! LOL

Actually, I almost only see slash in shows and books I've found through slash fiction. (SGA, due South, Starsky and Hutch etc.)But most of my original writing is queer-oriented and I prefer reading that sort of literature so I guess I get my slash either way...

And this is a bad thing how? Personally I find it difficult to write things without at least some hint of queerness...

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Now, I didn't say it was a bad thing... hee! *g*

Yeah, I only write slash too. It's just what interests me.
And I'm very glad that you do too!
*hugs*

I just read a fiction book about two young guys and I found myself wanting the same thing!

LOL
Feel the power of the slashy side. ;-)
