CONFESSIONS COMICS.

[helpwess]

The majority of votes in yesterday's poll were in the affirmative, so here we are: MARY SUE DAYTIME FANTASY CONFESSIONAL. It doesn't have to be daytime, I'm just saying that cause, hey, how else am I going to get through those boxes of photocopying? Yeah. So! In the interest of embarrassing myself for the entertainment purposes of others, I'll go

Sadly (or maybe not), the bulk of fantasy time is for sexing, so the "plot" usually goes like: we meet - usually at some event I know that the person will be attending, for that air of, you know, authenticity - and are dazzled by each other's awesomeness. Lameness.

In my mad Ralph Fiennes obsession period, I had actually decided that, given all the amazing things people accomplish just through sheer will, if I made it my goal in life to fuck RF and pursued that goal relentlessly, it would happen. So the end of this little (mostly) fantasy involved my getting close enough to actually explain my "hypothesis" and he would be so impressed....yeah.

I'm sure if I thought about is some more, I could think of some better ones. But this is all I got right now (since I did answer "yes")

Perhaps if we get enough confessions we can draw some hypotheses about how we all assume that the object of our fantasy is IN LOVE WITH OUR INDIFFERENCE or etc. It turns out that I am all about the chase, as evidenced by every piece of fic I have ever written, so mine are all about the hanging out on the couch and the cooking the spaghetti or whatever. Sigh.

I don't know, maybe for added plausibility? If choice celebrity is won over by our frothing, fannish, creaming-all-over-them, what's to stop them from hooking up with any 'ol random fan?
Also, jfdoh (or whomever!) would be so much, much less cool if he fell for the fawning. And, it's my fantasy and I don't want him to be uncool - all actual, factual, evidence aside.

Excellent point! You always want to be the one at the event that's like, "sorry about all these crazy people," like, yeah. Plus, that is mysterious and mystery is intriguing. And, like you say, if I am totally boning out on somebody I want to imagine him as my ideal, ie, of course he's not going to be interested in the screamers, and he's a good mama's boy, and of course he doesn't do any drugs how dare you. Oh, N, I am so transparent.

[naty_]

sorry about all these crazy people
Oh man, YES! That was the basis of many an Austin VM thingy Mary Sue fantasy.

Also, how much do I hate that JD is married (and that I'm aware of the fact and know what she looks like, etc) because LD sometimes gets incorporated (NOT LIKE THAT!). Like we meet at some arty thing and we are instant BFF and she gushes to me about her husband - and to he about me. And jfdoh and I share angsty longing glances...god.

[helpwess]

right????????? how dare they have real SO's! it's like, twice as difficult for someone like me, you know, MARRIED, so it's like a twice-AU where i have to invent a me that somehow is single and then dispatch wives or girlfriends or whatever.

[naty_]

HA! I didn't bother inventing a SO-less me when I was married. Like screw it, I'm going for it. It's possible (likely) that attitudes like that are what led to my divorce.

[helpwess]

stop being so introspective!!! the point here is, MAKING OUT WITH FAMOUS PEOPLE.

[naty_]

SORRY! This will get me back on track

[helpwess]

see, excellent! cordy has the right idea: husband? what husband!

[helpwess]

OH, HI!!!!

i am really in love with the fact that, even in your ultimate mary sue fantasies, you are still ALL ABOUT THE ANGST!!!!!

My & jfdoh's epic love that cannot be because lauren is just that nice of a gal is totally a fav. But, of course, we torture ourselves by the continued hanging out (bbq, perhaps?). And maybe I attend some scientology events and I'm creeped out, but I like these guys (j&l) so much that I let it go. And maybe I become really close with clan Dohring - you know, since they live at the family home. And I don't want it to be weird that a single girl socializes with a married couple ALL THE TIME, so maybe I start dating one of his brothers....kill me. really. (b/c else, this things goes on and gets INVOLVED)

[naty_]

Why am I imagining you with a clipboard & an Austrian accent right now?

Okay, so the fake dating of the brother. So Jonathan & I start the casual hanging out/pseudo-dating thing. And it's Jonathan, even though Jason calls him "Jon" which he totally hates. And, yeah, maybe JfDoh has no problem letting people calling him "Jay" (whatever!) but Jonathan doesn't roll like that. Ahem
