Stuff about me and fandom
I decided that I would post every day in August. It's the fourth and so far I have not posted. Well done me. I figured it was time to use this journal for more than just having an account to comment on other people's fan-fiction.
So here is some stuff about me that you probably don't want to know.
I just (at very long last) got my driver's license two weeks ago (I am nearly 26). I got it just in time to start a new job answering phones at a very large car dealership. I hate cars. This should be interesting.
Enough about relevant things that are going on now.
I've been a fan girl of some sort for all my life although I did not always know there was a name for my affliction or that there was a supportive community of fellow suffers. I did not have access to the internet until my freshman year of high-school. At that time I was very seriously into the X-files. I knew about fanfiction through a dear fellow fan who (in middle school) used to print it out for me and pass it to me in class. I loved every word of it even though her taste in fic would turn out to be vastly different from my own (she was a hardcore anti-ship/platonic relationship only sort of person and I only fandom when I ship and I tend to ship really hard. For me shipping is like falling in love. It's that same heady-dizzy yet wonderful sensation). When I finally had a computer to get my own fanfiction...well it was like the world was in color for the first time. Suddenly Mulder and Scully were kissing! I could not get enough.
That said I have never, ever shipped anything as hard as I do Doctor/Rose. I've actually scared myself more than once with my levels of obsession. There was a time this winter that I seriously considered asking my rl friends to intervene. It got better when I started writing fic of my own; at last I had an outlet for my very intense feelings. I am still horribly embarrassed of it but I do post it otherwise it would not be nearly as therapeutic. Right now I don't have time for much writing, what with the new job and the old job trying to find a balance (right now I am working like 47 hours a week). That should change to something more manageable after I am done training. Then I hope to write lots and lots, I am just full of ideas these last few weeks.
And because I felt like it have a picture of Rose and the Doctor being epicaly adorable, since that is what they do best.
