Some very belated meme-age:

Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

And ohvienna gave me Repo!, fanfiction, BSG, Lost, and archeology.

( ...I do it for the lulz? 'Kay, not really. )

lost, writing, battlestar, repo!, fandom, archaeology, fanfic, about me, meme

I'm happiest when I'm sitting in someone else's sandbox with borrowed toys and time, trying to figure out new ways to bend the rules.

This pretty much sums up how I feel about writing fanfiction. I have tried to write my whole life, but never could get an idea that seemed right. Writing fanfic has liberated me. When I stopped stressing over making up whole new characters and a new setting, I actually started *writing* instead of just thinking about writing. I know that fanfic isn't the most prestigious form of writing, but I think it can be really beneficial to everyone, even established authors.

It's gotten to the point where I just plain forget there isn't some magic camera out there in another universe, recording all of this for us to see. I forget that it's a show."

YES! This is exactly how I feel when I watch BSG. When it ends, I might have some sort of mental breakdown, because I'll be forced to admit that the characters aren't actually real. ;)
