Baaaaaah!

Meme gakked from truly_tazi, cos I'm feeling all blergh and unable to come up with anything ficcy. So, ask me anything and I'll lie through my teeth try to answer honestly.

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 4 questions. Any 4, no matter how personal, dirty, private, or random. I have to answer them honestly. In turn, you have to post this message in your own journal, and you have to answer the questions that are asked of you...

1. What year were you born?
2. What pairing(s) are you ashamed to admit you like?
3. Looking back, what's the worst piece of fic you've ever posted? Include a link if you have one.
4. Why did you originally join LiveJournal?

1. 1970, which makes this coming birthday the halfway point in my 'three score years and ten'. Eeep! *g*

2. Ashamed? I'm pretty shameless really, but I think I can remember reading a (series of?) fic where Spike is pimping Andrew out to Giles, Angel, Wesley, Xander etc for daddy!kink sex and Andrew is in a babydoll night dress and I got kinda squicked out at myself for enjoying the fic(s). LOL!

3. Worst fic? Yike. I've been a writer since I could hold a pencil and form a sentence, but I've only been sharing my stuff online for just over a year so there's nothing out there that's badly written (I hope!). And when I discovered the joys of fandom (Nov 2003), I read every piece of S/X I could get my hands on, and I was always a fan of the show, so I'm (kinda) confident that my characterisations don't tend to be too off-the-wall.

So I suppose I'd have to say that I'm not too happy with some of my earlier drabbles, as I'd never written such short pieces before discovering open_on_sunday. I'm not too impressed with some of the ones I wrote for the Tarot challenge (#55), which you can read, if you really want to, here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/darkhavens/7107.html) and here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/darkhavens/7172.html). There's no consistent style there, they jump from poetic, to blunt, to overly flowery... meh.

4. A friend linked me to LJ as something to read (we used the 'random journal' facility a LOT) and we spent a couple of weeks trading urls, saying 'oh, you have to read this one!' and then she got a code from someone (back when it was 'invite only'), created a journal, and nudged me into getting one too. I had no idea what I was going to use it for, but it seemed like a fun idea and so I jumped on the bandwagon. Then I had the idea of having a couple of journals, one for the 'normal' me, and one for the darker stuff, hence 'darkhavens'. And then I discovered S/X through an LJ search and 'normal' me was no more. I was hip-deep in gay vampire lovin' and enjoying every minute of it. *g*

That was fun! Thanks for playing. :o)

I guess I could have phrased # 2 a bit better, maybe "What pairing do you consider a 'guilty pleasure'?" But, you seem to have figured out what I meant.

Taken individually the Tarot drabbles are wonderful. It's only when you put them all together that the...choppiness I guess is the best word...shows up.

This was fun.
