Went for transmale, because honestly that's the best way to explain it away. A more complicated explaination is why I don't intend to get surgery.

Ah, I love CloudxReno with big old mushy hearts and flowers. I'm also convinced that I should totally get a cookie for being among those who started thinking about them before AC came out (not that I have proof or anything . I'm a very visual person and it took AC to inspire me to really write for them). Ah sorry, I'm a bit worried about how popular the pairing is getting. I can't find any good fics anymore. *sobs* Well, it's a good thing I write....

Who wants to guess my vote? Anyway, yeah I went for majorly yaoi/shounen-ai even though I've written a lot of het in the past as well. Things have...changed for me and I really find it hard to get interested in het couples in an erotic manner. Like, I still ship for some of them and it's great to see them together but I have no desire to write het lemons.

When I was seventeen, I saw the movie "Velvet Goldmine" and thus, an obsession began. I started out obsessivly reading fanfiction, mostly focusing on CurtxArthur. God, I shipped for them so hard. To this day i still feel that surge of emotion at the end of the film: "Go after him, you dolt!" I wrote for the fandom on and off for about two years. Looking back most of it was abysmal, but most of these fics were written 7 or 8 years years ago. I think I might have tried to get back into the fandom briefly at 21, but I was so rusty...it didn't turn out well. Anyway, even though I've written a lot of het as well as yaoi, I always get more attached to m/m pairings. I guess...I'm more sentimental that way. ...among other things. I guess it just feels more natural to me. Because I'm in a listing kinda mood.... Favourite pairings, past and present: CurtxArthur ("Velvet Goldmine") CurtxJack Fairy ("Velvet Goldmine") BankotsuxJakotsu ("InuYasha") AlbelxFayt ("Star Ocean: Til the End of Time") CloudxReno (FF7) RufusxReno (FF7) VincentxTseng (FF7)

I think what disturbs me most about those cds is...the material. I don't know, there's something just really disturbing about hearing 12-year-olds singing Evencsense's (sp?) "My Immortal" or Britney Spears's "Toxic".

Thanks, but I managed to find some semblance of testicular fortitude recently. Managed to get over my guilt and everything.

Hmm...I honestly don't watch much tv, but I can think of a few. Buffy Angel (blaming my boyfriend because I never really liked Angel in the first place) CSI (the series set in Vegas...duh) Ghost Hunters Most Haunted (because those guys are fucking insane...I mean, did you see them in that old prison in Philly?! wtf?!) Painkiller Jane Eureka Heroes (urg! I missed the last episode!) Robot Chicken Mind you I can take or leave most television shows. I'd say the only thting I'm watching regularily as in MUST WATCH! Is Ghost Hunters, Painkiller Jane, and...the anime they show on sci-fi every Monday night. omfg! Tokko! edit: Oh yeah, I don't really write tv fandoms. I went through a brief SpikexBuffy smutfest phase after seeing Season 6 and 7, but thankfully that never got online.

Oh, and if anyone cares, I'll be lurking around Gaff under the handle Shinracentric. I'm not sure if I have the balls to contribute much but....

Honestly, I don't give a shit one way or another. If someone can make that sort of thing work, more power to them. However, I will be awfully pissed off is polygamy is nationally awknowleged and legalized before gay marriage. I mean come on!

Oooh...my daily dose of mean-spirited fun is back! Hey, maybe now I won't be boiling with anger all the time.

I've been feeling the RenoxCloud love again. Hmm...good for the soul. Thus...sig change. *sighs sadly* Tho' I have this really sexy pic I would have preferred to use, the artist left their mark in the form of big-ass semi-translucent lettering across the pic. It's just noticable enough...not so much to distract from the pic, but definately enough to make someone think twice about spreading it around.

Hmmm...I was an animation snob even was I was a kid. I preferred Warner Bros. and Disney over Hanna-Barbara (though I loved Space Ghost and Birdman...and I still love them on Adult Swim ). Honestly though, when it came to cartoon shorts I much preferred Warner Bros because I thought they were funnier. I mostly remember the stuff I watched when I was in middle school. Animaniacs, Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life...a lot of the old Nicklodean shows before they got all...moral and stuff. And I absolutely adore "Invader Zim" but that's a much more recent discovery.

Ironically, the current one-shot that I'm working on is verging on fluff, but realy I prefer the term WAFF (warm and fuzzy feeling) even though it makes me cringe a little bit. Calling something fluff kinda degrades it in my mind. It's like saying it's worthless even though it really isn't. Sometimes...I just can't handle angst all the time and I want to read something sweet that makes me feel good. The thing that really pisses me off is that a lot of people seem to think angst=better writing. I suppose because tragedy and highly emotional situations make for great drama, but I think it really all despends on the delicacy of the writer. There's nothing worse than being assaulted with melodrama with very little relief.

Well, I dropped one project ...and recently started on a one-shot, written purely for theraputic purposes. So I'm still on three, but hopefully I'll be down to a comfortable two within the next couple days.

I suppose if I really, really had to make that do or die choice (I've been ruminating over it for the past couple days), I would have to choose writing. While I have more self-control these days (like a save function in my brain), I remember when I first started writing. When inspiration hit me I had to write right then. If I didn't have a notebook with me, I'd write on anything I could find. Napkins, printer paper, those disposable placemats at some restaraunts, anything was fair game. I'm in a terribly moody state today because I've been working on two different fics compulsively over the past couple days and have been having trouble focusing long enough to just get it the fuck done. While finding something that I can't read frustrates me, I don't become a holy terror. Of course, if manga and graphic novels count in the "not reading" bit, all bets are off and I'm still having a nervous breakdown.

And how the hell am I supposed to find out about a paddle's lumber? Who the hell buys wooden paddles anyway? Mine were made of rubber or something. One said "ouch!" on it. Ah, those were the days. Anyway, is this for real? Holy shit.

I'm actually feeling a tiny bit better today. Not by much, tho'. The summer heat has been seriously getting to me. I don't think I'll ever get used to a dry heat that just sucks the moisture from the air. It's just oppressive. ...and makes me cranky.

Grrr...argh...ya know I'm beginning to think that bad fanart is worse than bad fanfiction. Seriously, I've been slogging through this site and while a lot of it is fine, there's just enough that is fucking shit. And what is with this catboy/catgirl fetish???? I mean wtf? How many times do I have to see Cloud rendered as a freakin' catboy before I suffer permenant, irreverible psychological damage. There's not enough brain bleach in the world to help me recover from all the renderings of crack pairings and pairings that I don't particularily like. No, this isn't because I clicked on them before you ask this is because of ya know...thumbnails. Don't get me started with te OCs, too. Look, I don't give a shit if there's an OC with one of the canon characters. I may not always like it but I don't really give a shit. But OCs alone in a fandom-specific catagory makes me want to hit someone. It's like "grr...argh...I don't give a shit about your Mary Sue and no Reno would never, ever fuck her, so stop fucking dreaming you stupid, stupid bint." Yes, when I'm fed up and pissed off, I'm not a nice person. On the brighter side, when I find something I actually like it's like finding a hundred dollars lying in the middle of the street. Okay, maybe not that great, but you get the idea. Oh, and I've been ranting and raving about this for the past couple days on my lj so if this all sounds familar, forgive my lack of creativity. I tend to stew over these things....

Gah! Nervous breakdown for me! Though I must admit that I write a bit more than I read when I think about never being able to read certain books again or the idea of not discovering new books and authors to love...Gah! Noooo! I just can't handle that!

Pass on her name if it'll make you feel better, otherwise I'd say don't worry about it. No matter what you do or how high a rating you mark your story, someone underage is going to read it. This is something that has bugged me in the past too. I don't think about it as much anymore, especially when I consider that I used to do the exact same thing.

I have to agree with most everyone here. I'm sitting here thinking. Hmm...erm...ratio? Nevermind the fact that I've always sucked at math (see how funny I am?), I really don't plan on writing "angst" or "fluff". Admittedly, some of my stories are more light-hearted than others and some are just more emotionally intense, but in my longer fics everything's up in the air. I'm not sure if my pallet of colours is particularily vaired, but I'd like very much to imagine that I don't merely write in black and uh, pink.

Well, I have a headache and woke up on the wrong side of the bed, so I'm feeling like doing a bit of ranting. -I'm getting bitter again with fanfiction. I think it's related to the fact that I'm currently re-starting a story due to the canon revelation on a certain character's age. While I was able to work it out in my head it pissed me off that I felt the need to even bother. That is to say, a lot of other fanfic authors would have shrugged it off "it's just fanfiction" and kept on writing. But no...no, I had to change it. Even if no one else cares, I would know dammit.... -What the fuck am I doing with my life? 5 years ago I thought I had a clue. Now I just fucking don't. -I think somebody ripped off one of my fics at lj. *growls* -And my e-mail inbox is empty. *sobs* Why this matters, I don't know. It just does.

I generally work on whatever strikes my fancy at any given time. Or whatever story my boys are loudest with. My writing in generally rules by my emotions.

Gah, I must be demented to think that robot is sorta creepy.

Well, my situation is a little confusing right now. I'm currently working on a kinda-sorta prequel to "Road to Recovery", but I'm also working on a sequel to "Strange Bedfellows" and I'm involved in a challenge comm at lj (I will eventually post the serial of fics on AFF). The SB sequel is going much slower than the R2R prequel and even the challenge comm fics simply because Rufus is a terribly demanding muse right now.
