It is raining outside! We are in quite a drought here -- my parents are worrying about their well running dry -- so the pattering of the rain is a beautiful sound indeed.

The HP folks on my flist have probably already seen this, but just in case: cluegirl recently asked an incredibly evil question. You have a prophetic dream that in twenty four hours, ( Read more... )

Heh. I was reading fanfic before I knew what it was. About eight years ago, I was doing a search for something Highlander related and came across slash. I didn't even know that people wrote fanfic. I fell in love in about 45 seconds and never looked back. It took another four or so years before I began to write, though.

But goodness. I didn't know we weren't supposed to like Melanie. I like her heaps. I confess that I don't like Michael, but I'm weirded out by clingy people in general, and that's how I saw him. Although I didn't know we weren't supposed to like him either - I've read all of one fic in the QAF fandom. It was lovely, though I can't remember what it was. I loved the QAF world, though. I came to the show just as it was ending, and it was my relaxation for a few months - and just hearing the theme music made me grin. I did love Brian, though, and I loved him in part for what they did to him. That we were all brainwashed to react to him as the god from the first moment. I really appreciated that kind of set-up. What's his name Gale isn't a bad looking man, but he's not a god of sex, either. But it was in his attitude and esp the way others reacted to him. We couldn't help it, either. I loved him more for it, for being aware of it, for him making me love him.

Anyway, fandom should be the happy place. I stay away from wank and such, and on occasion when I can't help but see it, it really does suck out joy. I think many of us (though obviously not all) feel that way, that fandom is where we come to relax and indulge ourselves.

But my very last HP fic made her list! So I slipped under the wire by the skin of my teeth. Phew. But I can sulk like a champion - just let me put on my pout and you've still got a date. *g*
