ask me some questions, I'll tell you the 'why's

[spankerella]

This chic that writes an online column wants to interview me about writing fanfic. I was skeptical at first, but then I went and read her article. Knew I had to say yes then. But I'm still me, so I had to ask her why me. She provided a very decent reason that made sense... and informed me that I was not the only one she'd asked. When I heard the company I was keeping for this endeavor, I could in no way refuse. She asked Jinni (TtH) and Devildoll too. How can I say no to something KA (AKA Devildoll) said yes to?

A lot of people seem a little surprised when I tell them I remember DD from way back. They get all... 'but she's in the Xmen fandom'. So? Like that's the only fandom she lived in. Hello, do I, myself, or do I not live in two universes? It's an Eternal Angel thing with us though. There are so many of us who were the core of that list. We posted more than The Bat Pack list does. Way OT too, but it was fun. Everybody knew everybody. Hell, we even had a soundtrack made. And it wasn't just a list of songs for downloading. No, someone actually made the CDs and shipped them out to everybody. I've lost track of a lot of those people that I met when I was first learning about writing fanfic, but some of them I still speak to. One of them I have even met face to face finally. Others I have spoken to on the phone. Hell, even certain people I have exchanged snail mail with. Certain people liked to send birthday cards my way once upon a time. LOL.

And now I guess I'll go work on some of those stories in my head.

In other news, please have a look at the new image Amy sent me for the splash page at CF....



She said my picture with Spike's tongue gave her the idea. She is such a pervert.... then again, so am I, so this works out well. But damn, if that image doesn't drive me to distraction with thoughts of writing some Snape smut. I'm reminded of those 'you are here' maps. LOL. I wish I was. This is also not helped by watching the gif of Diego. Do you know how funny that thing is while listening to Rob Zombie?

Heh. I got this far and was like, "Hey, I wonder..."

When I heard the company I was keeping for this endeavor, I could in no way refuse. She asked Jinni (TtH) and Devildoll too. How can I say no to something KA (AKA Devildoll) said yes to?
Hee! And it *is* the same one who asked me. Small world. Fandom. Whatever.

A lot of people seem a little surprised when I tell them I remember DD from way back. They get all... 'but she's in the Xmen fandom'. So? Like that's the only fandom she lived in.
Joss unites the world, man.

It's an Eternal Angel thing with us though. There are so many of us who were the core of that list. We posted more than The Bat Pack list does. Way OT too, but it was fun.
Hell, yeah. Four thousand messages a month, from a handful of people. And damn we were funny.

Everybody knew everybody. Hell, we even had a soundtrack made. And it wasn't just a list of songs for downloading. No, someone actually made the CDs and shipped them out to everybody.
I just came across mine while working on the large project of loading all my CDs onto my Mac, and it was like I was right back on the list.

Certain people liked to send birthday cards my way once upon a time. LOL.

Yeah, when I mailed her back, I was all like... did you know that DD and I have known each other online for a couple of years? What irony. I think it's funny that she picked three of us out there who have the same sort of sense of humor.... because Jinni, who runs Twisting the Hellmouth, is just bursting with snarky flavor. Like a few other people around here. Wicked not evil.... and finds it humorous.

Ok. So that pic. It's hot.. don't get me wrong... well done by the Amy... but I've been seeing that in the perviews for a while. When does it happen in the book? I don't remember him standing in front of the three of them. Am I mad? Also, online I"ve seen pictures of Hermione holding a wand at Draco's throat while he's against a tree. (Aside from all the naughty images running in my head invoving trees and being up against htme ::cough:: SECRETARY ::cough::) When did that happen? Are they going to cut out the Hermione/Draco slappage? Because they just CAN'T! That's the exact moment that Ron falls in love with Hermione. I'm sure of it. Help?

Re: pic

Maybe Hermione just threatens to hex Draco's balls off? LOL. I dunno. Maybe she slaps him then backs him off with her wand. Who knows. In every movie there's been some changes. Just like I was itching to see Lucius and Arthur throw down in CoS. Did it happen? Noooooooo. Then again, I just might be too busy staring at Sirius in all his dirty glory to notice anything else.

Am I the only one who wants to lick his tattoos to make sure they're real?

OOh, you'll have to post a link to the column when it's done... so I can go and point: hey I "know" those people *grins*

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

Oh I will definitely be posting the link when it's up.

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

It didn't go anywhere. It's down because I'm actually trying to update the site right now. If you'll just give it a bit, the site will be back up in a little while.

*grumbles* I don't update for months, then the second I do several people start giving me flack about it.
