Ten
In 2005 I sat in front of my computer and decided to stop stalking people's LJs to read Spangel fanfiction, I decided it was time to be practical and create a space where I could keep track of all the stories as easily as possible. After all, to have them all appear on my flist instead of having to go around and look for fics seemed like a good idea. That's how it all started... I cannot believe I'm still here 10 years later. I also can't believe how much this place evolved and how many wonderful people I met.
That evening, on October 21st 2005, I wrote just a few lines as my first entry, and while my English still makes me cringe to this day, I think that very first entry deserves to be re-posted right here, right now:
"Well, I'm new...
I'm Italian so sorry about my english...
I'm totally in love with SPANGEL fictions, what can I say...I adore those boys!
Totally yummy!!!
I'm a bit nervous you know? Hope to find lots of friends in the fandom. Shutting up now...we'll talk soon!
Kiss Kiss to everybody who might read this..."
Nobody read that, of course. I only later figured out that you needed to actually be friended to people for them to see your posts *g*
So guys, ten years. Can you believe it? I decided not to get sappy here and just simply thank the friends that have stuck around here since the beginning, the ones that arrived only recently, the ones that came and went, the ones that stumbled across a post or two, the lurkers, and the people that tried this place out and decided it wasn't for them. Thank you to each and everyone of you, because one way or the other you all made these ten years happen and shared a bit of the road with me.
Now, what I'm about to do here might end up in disaster for various reasons but I decided to go ahead and do it anyway. Hopefully it won't leave me broken and bleeding on the floor... lol! Yes, I'm a drama queen, is that news to you? *g*
To celebrate my tenth year on LJ I ask you to give me prompts: leave me a word, a concept, a picture, a quote, and I will try to write something for you based on that. As much as I'd like to try my hand at writing other pairings, this is going to be stressful enough for me without adding that so please, for my sanity, only request Brian/Justin fics.
Disclaimer: I might not be able to write one single word - the Muse isn't exactly friendly these days - but I promise to try my best. Filled prompts will be posted as a reply to your comment and will be unbetaed.
If you feel like celebrating with me or if you just don't feel like leaving me here alone staring at an empty comment section, come and play. Who knows, it might be fun! What could possibly go wrong? Lol!
Happy tenth anniversary, aschicca's LJ! ♥
ETA: And of course LJ decides to be unavailable to me for the entire day.. today! Maybe the Universe is trying to tell me something here. Who knows if this post will even be visible anywhere??
