Hi! I'm Leigh! *waves* I've seen your writing at and I really enjoyed your essay on drabbles. :D

So, I was just curious. How do you pick your pairings? I'm just curious because I write several rare pairs as well, but mine are from RPGing (I left one a few months ago, and now write with several friends at pinksheep_wench).

Anyway, it's nice to meet you! :D

I meant at hp_humpdrabbles. Stupid html... *grumbles*

I've seen you around, mostly on Elle's blog and the humpdrabbles site. Glad that was helpful because trying to "give back" some of the knowledge I've gleaned over the years but have always been too... afraid that it would be misconstrued, I think I would say. But I put this out there to see what would happen

I'm glad we crack you up! Sometimes I think that people outside of our fishbowl just shake their heads and think that we're a bunch of nutcases (which we are, but that's beside the point).

I started out in HP fandom several years ago (in D/G, to be specific) as a lurker. I liked writing, but I never considered myself decent enough to give it a shot myself (and there are days when I still don't and I'm amazed people actually read some of the crap I write). I lurked for about 4 years, just reading and enjoying. Then one day, I saw an ad through a writer whose work I enjoyed for a RPG that shall remain nameless for the time being. I'd never really thought about role playing; the idea kinda made me O.o a bit. But I figured, 'Hey, why not? If I sucked, they wouldn't let me play, and if not, it was a way to work on my writing skills.' (My first character, in case you're curious, was Fleur).

I loved the RP. I loved the people I wrote with, my characters, the storyline, everything. It was so much fun, delving into the minds of my

I still have to START watching Supernatural! It's one I plan on... and yes, mostly because Caradoc's PB is Jared Padalecki. But it's a show that everyone raves about and I don't really know why I didn't start watching it when it came out. Oh well. NetFlix will save me again

And another good (and fun way) of getting into Supernatural would be to join on of the "land" communities. A lot of the people that I'm in whedonland are also in the Supernatural one as well. I have SO much fun on the one I joined. It's just a bunch of people who enjoy the shows and hang out, doing different things. At WL, we play a lot of games and I get to drabble to my hearts content! And I've made some friends so big plus!

Girl, I hear you on the RP drama. It was so bad this spring that I dreaded signing into the comm because I was so apprehensive about what might have been posted while I was away from the computer.

Jane (numbaby) writes over at spn_teamfic. Obvi, it's a team fic competition, with peeps writing for either Team Heaven, Team Hell, or Team Hunter. She writes for Team Hell, and is quite frankly amazing at it. (She also writes the Stewart to my Katie at our little haven *grins*)

I used to try and write Draco/Ginny, but I always felt so overwhelmed, especially in comparison to some of the BNFs in that particular fandom (whom I used to RP with as well), that I quit trying. I always felt my characterizations fell flat. >.<

And I'll try not to terrorize you into reading my stuff, but I am a bit of a feeback whore. It's true, I'll admit it. I love getting notifications in my Gmail that someone squeezed on something I wrote. Yes, am awful. So sue me. :D

I've never seen a Fic land community! How cool! These that I'm a part of are a combination of people which is cool because I can ask around for graphics!

I try VERY HARD not to compare myself to other fanfic writers because you'll never find a character or pairing you can write! Besides, most of the BNFs I know about aren't even around anymore. Or writing. Or they're famous and could care less about LJ. *sigh* Someday that will be me!
