A good way to spend hellatus at any rate...

Well, I guess I am claiming at least one of mine, because a friend just commented on it and I couldn't resist saying hello. XD But I was planning on claiming that one anyway, so I don't know how much it counts...
My rubric for deciding whether to claim is pretty simple and pretty complicated at the same time: I ask myself, "do I mind having this associated with me?" If the answer is no, I claim it; if it is yes, I don't. Mostly this is because I used Blindfold as a time to try out stuff I wouldn't otherwise, and sometimes it's either not very good or just something I don't want people to think of when they think of me, y'know? But it's pretty much entirely based on how I'm feeling at the time. Even though the stuff I write is not necessarily that bad by either people's standards, sometimes it makes me nervous, and I like that Blindfold gives me the option to write without feeling ~pressured~ about it.
Last year I claimed all three of mine, but only under filter to people I trust, so I'm not sure how much THAT counts either. XD Browsing the comments on the roundtable post, though, I don't really mind not having credit. If it's something people liked, great, if not, fine too--whether I claim is more motivated by MY attachment to anyone else's.
UM, I WOULD ANSWER YOUR OTHER QUESTIONS EXCEPT I BASICALLY WROTE YOU AN ESSAY. SORRYYYY /o\

Oooh, which one??? Can I ask that? You can email me if you're not ready for public claiming yet!
That totally makes sense. I wrote six this time, and I don't think that I would mind any of them being associated with me, but there's a crazy ego factor where I'm worried that maybe the fill is stupid and then I'd be embarrassed. Because I'm already out of my comfort zone to some extent, I need to work myself up to any claiming. Does that make sense at all?

No, I don't mind at all! Like I said, I'm planning on claiming it anyway, and when I'm not lazy I'll repost it to my journal, because I feel decently pleased with it. :D It's femslash--idk if you read femslash, so don't worry if you don't! This one.
I wrote two more--one which I just don't think was that great, so I might not claim that because I'm VAIN and want everyone to think I'm fabulous XD and one which I'm waffling over claiming because it feels diiirty. *blush* (I will be happy to let you know either in email if you're curious, though!) And no, that totally makes sense! It took me like, three weeks to gear up to claiming mine even under filter. (And then I deleted the post later because there was that whole Facebook connect thing and I was like HAHA NO, NONE OF THIS IS EVER GOING ON FACEBOOK. So I doubt anyone even remembers which ones are mine. XD)

HOORAY!! I don't usually, but I totally will!
OMG yes!! I'll show you mine if you show me yours! (*inser obligatory "Dirty!" here*) I think I'm getting more comfortable with the dirtiness factor. Last year was definitely an icebreaker for me. (Ahhahahaa! FAIR!!)
