Welcome to the out_of_con_txt 2008 Social!
Welcome to our little OOCT party! Let's have a little get-to-know-you post.
Hi! I'm Sage. china_shop is trapped under something heavy (her WIP!!), so I'm hosting this party along with this group of lovely DS fen. Please say hi to eledhwenlin, lamentables, and monroe_nell! :D

Why? Because I am from the UK and we do stuff like that. What do you want from me? Also, for someone who likes to draw cartoon cocks I'm remarkably diffident about this kind of thing.
Likes: Being of a butterfly mind this is not an easy question to answer. Let's try this: a whole bunch of stuff - it boils down to BOYS! and crack. Looots of crack. Raspberries are delicious, also. *eats some*
Dislikes: RPF. Lines, I has them. Lack of time to do everything I want to do.
What do you talk about in your LJ? MEEEEEE! No, um, quite a lot of RL, fic, cartoons (mostly rude), random posts of squirting cocks, stupid things I say and do, stupid things other people say and do, random rants, that kind of thing
Other fandoms I am very interested in: Sports Night, SGA, Green Wing
Other links: My often-not-up-to-date website is here. Fic is also archived in my memories. dS stuff is mostly Ray/Ray with a smattering of FKV and F/K. *scrubs toe in dirt and whistles so as not to attract attention*
For the rest, see part 2. I am verbose, yo.

Can't answer this. It changes all the time. I say as standard that my favourite band is The Charlatans and as I've been saying that for about half my life, I'm sticking with it. Also Tim Burgess has a very practical mouth. Currently my favourite song is probably Pas De Cheval by Panic At The Disco. (Liking bandom bands without liking bandom? Peculiar experience.)
2. If you could bring three fics with you to a desert island, and get to read only those for three what would they be?
For three what? Three pence an hour? Three little eskimos Inuit a long way from home? Can you tell I'm prevaricating? Can't tell you that, either, I am BAD at picking favourites. (Also at remembering what I liked, what it was called and who wrote it. Last call for the failboat?)
3. The story I reread whenever I’m feeling blue (or just because I like it that much!) is: I don't really reread all that much in fandom (so different from pro-fic, why is that? *ponders psyche*) Lately, I'm much more likely to relisten to podfic and my favourites are SGA, sorry - Advantage and Absurdity Theory. They make me go to my happy place, what can I say. Although I reckon zabira's recording of The Eskimo Thing is likely to get a relisten or 5. Also her reading of Eyeliner and Attitude. *fans self*
4. I have dreams of this plotbunny getting written: By myself? I have a musician!Ray/court advocate!Ray fic I'm desperate to find time to write. By others? Eh, I'm more for a general concept - I LOVE shiny!happy!Rays and think there should be more of them. \o/ Also more F/V and Ray/Ray podfic although I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaay off on a tangent over here now.
5. My favorite line of a song/book/movie/fanfic/quotation: Right now it's 'You toddering, fen-sucked dewberry! I'm going to go find something to strike you with. Excuse me!' Oh, Stewie, I heart you.
6. If I could live anywhere in the world, and be doing anything I wanted, and living with whomever I pleased, I would be: An imaginary place where everyone I love is within easy distance, failing that, the North of England or Canada. I love my job, I'm not sure I'd want to do anything else, unless it was full-time fannishness. And I'd be living with my husband because he makes me cheese on toast. Also, there's this thing where I adore him *shrug* And if I could also have my best girl along, so much the better.
7. My junk food of choice is: Fudge? Maybe? But only really good stuff. Ditto chocolate. Thritto ice cream. (Thritto should be a word, right?) *narrows eyes* Maybe Eccles Cakes? Do they count as junk? OOH! Rice Krispie cake as made by TB. Sweet tooth? OH, yeah.
8. I have a secret. *leans in close* I--___ may or may not have been drinking a couple of glasses of wine whilst writing this.
9. I'm really proud of this story that I created: Lots of them? I don't know. I try very hard to only write things I like so I'm usually proud of the latest thing wot I writ, which in this case is Under Summer Skies, a Ray/Ray AU. The style was different for me and I think it worked beautifully. *shuns modesty* Also on the Ray/Ray AU theme, I think Cosmic Rays, my Rays-in-Space long!fic is probably the story I'm most proud of out of everything I've written ever.

I'm really curious about Cosmic Rays, because the premise just sounds so cool. But I have potential things that make me wary of Ray/Ray, like I might not want to read it if Fraser is off being lonely and broken-hearted on some ice planet. Well, okay, angst can have its own rewards, but in that case I like to be prepared for it. So, do you think it's safe for me to read? *feels a little silly for being so sensitive*

Fraser isn't off being lonely and broken-hearted on some ice planet, I promise. He only ever puts in an appearance via a story/confession. But you do need to be prepared for angst. *prepares* If you want to know more, I can tell you, I just didn't want to spoil you up front.

Also, I surfed your LJ and was mightily amused by the squirting penis diagrams. *g*
