I'm addicted to livejournal, so you'd think I'd post more often...

Meme time!

THE RULES:

1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, likeyour favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favoritekind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions. (This is why I don't do memes all that often.)
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.


1. What's your favorite icon? Why?
This icon, which also happens to be my default. It's a great icon on its own, but it means so much more if you understand Firefly, and where the quote comes from. Most specifically, Zoe saying 'Big damn heroes, sir', and then later, in Serenity: 'Do you know what the definition of 'hero' is? Somebody who gets others killed'. I think that really applies to Dean, and his outlook on life, the universe, and everything. He is a hero, at least in other people's eyes. But at the same time, he's so full of self-deprecation and self-loathing and woobie that it just kills me every, damn. time.
...and it's very pretty, don't you agree? XD

2. Are you more of a private or public person? Why do you say that?
Public, definitely. I don't believe in TMI. If you're not uncomfortable, I will talk to you about pretty much anything under the sun from orgasms to bowel movements.

3. What about fandom makes you happiest? What's the worst thing about fandom?
Crackfic. OMG. Just, the sheer amount of -giggle- I can get out of some of these fics is absolutely bizarre. There's no controlling any authoress, and some of the stuff that gets thought up is just...wow. It's a wonder we haven't all been locked up in padded cells yet. Worst part of fandom? badfic. I really, really can't stand badfic, and the lemmings who praise it. If it's crap, it's crap. just admit it and move on. Don't be in fandom if you can't stand a little bit of critisicm. If you're going to post, you should need your hand held and a gold star for stinghing a bunch hof words together.
That being said, there's a definite difference between Crackfic and Badfic. I in no way lump the two together.

4.What is your absolute WORST pet peeve about fic? The thing that willmake you hit the back button SO FAST, or maybe make you never click atall.
On a squick factor, John/Dean or John/Sam. Oh yes, I hear you all cry 'But Rayven! You are such a fan of Sam/Dean. Is not all wincest equal?' My answer to you is no! It is not all equal! There is something sexy and gorgeous about Sam bamboozling Dean and getting him all turned around and confused about himself and then just taking over and telling him how it's going to be, because it's for Dean's own good, and deep down they both know it...
It's completely another for their FATHER, who is meant to SHELTER and PROTECT them from all the evils in the universe to turn around and take advantage of them. cross-gen incest is wrong, period. In fic and in not. At least with the boys, they're roughly the same age. And besides, Sam is so the top anyway. If that makes me a hypocrite, fine. But I cannot accept any wincest that involves Papa Winchester.
As for a real peeve, something minor but able to completely destroy a story for me? The Impala was made in 67. HER SEATS ARE NOT LEATHER. THEY ARE VINYL. SHE IS AN OLD CAR, MADE WITH OLD MATERIALS. Dean probably has to use lead addiditive for her fuel, for gods sakes. Therefore, her seats are not buttery leather, shined to perfection. She is sticky, uncomfortable vinyl. Because she a beautiful mistress, yes, but she is from an era where the workmanship was beautiful, and the materials sucked. Thank you very much!

5. What attracts you to another person, either as a friend or romantic interest?
The ability to give and receive physical affection. I am a cuddler at heart, and I crave that kind of immediate, physical connection. You could be sitting there watching TV or playing a videogame or reading a book or talking to the Queen of Sheba, and I won't give a fig if you let me cuddle up against your side. That applies romantically and platonically. Everything else can just kinda build from there.
