I just found this community and think that this is great, so I joined...and now I think I supposed to introduce myself, so I'm 14-year-old not exacly normal girl. I am new to HP fandom, shame on me! Really I can't believe it myself, I was a HP fan for quite a long time already and didn't know about fanfiction until now. I know I'm slow! Anyway I'm ( Read more... )

sunny_daylee has written The Writer's Meme, a rather interesting little pick-apart of one's head. Thought you all might like to take a whack at it.

Crossposted to gryffindortower, originality_lj and sugarquill.

I suppose as I've just joined I ought to introduce myself ( Read more... )

Since this community's been quiet for a while, and since this meme's been floating around, I'd thought I'd alter it a little and have some fun with it.

Thanks. I'll do so when RL lets me go again.

Oy! Leggo my leg! ;-)

Yours in fanfiction,

I guess the one thing I have done that is my prized OC possession is Nigel Moon. Now he is a last name mentioned in the sorting. But thats it. Truthfully, I love the fact that he is a Mary Sue...sort of. He is not a Gary STu by any means. But is the nice, attractive, nice, perfect, happy, naice, huffle boy. Everyone likes him.

I just find it annoying that if someone has an OC in their story people immediately skip over it. It might be very good. :P

Anyhoo, I write alot of OC's, but since I wanted people to actually read my stories I began tow rite more OCC's.
*sigh*

rilina and I were discussing whether Sayers was much too in love with Peter Wimsey, leading to wish-fulfilment through Harriet Vane, and it occured to me that quite a few of us are treading dangerous paths here. Falling in love with your OC can be very dangerous. I don't mean just in the category of romance and wish-fulfilment. I think most of us are ( Read more... )
