I've gone insane.

[quietann]

In slightly over one week, I've gone from thinking that slashfic is silly, "but whatever floats your boat" to reading a really good example... to writing little snippets of it. Which I have posted on the Web. For now, it's snippets, and for now, it's all about Gregor from the LMB books.

I am overjoyed to be writing anything creative. It has been... close to 20 years, and I'm enchanting myself with the flow of words. Even derivative words.

I'm creating an opt-in filter, and you know what to do if you want to be on it...

But if you're thinking of calling me names, or pitying me, or anything like that, don't bother. I'm already doing it to myself.

*opts in*.

Like I'm going to call you names.

[quietann.livejournal.com]

OK, I think I have to friend you to make it work.

I feel very... honored.

[donnad.livejournal.com]

I'm interested.
But why would I call you names?

[drglam]

You've succumbed to the slashy side of the Force! Welcome, sister!

[gingicat]

*opts in*

See, like anything in this world, there is very good slashfic, like rubynye and her friends write (you should see thete1's stories!), and then there is Really Fucking Awful OMG How Could That Ever Have Been Finished slashfic, and very little in between. :)

[temima.livejournal.com]

I'd like in (and really, do I have any reason to call you names? :)).

[quietann.livejournal.com]

well... some people would. You would not. And I feel a bit... tender about the whole thing.

[elaine-brennan.livejournal.com]

*opt me in* too.

[ailsaek.livejournal.com]

Not opting in, but I did want to congratulate you on having found a creative outlet you enjoy. And definitely not pitying you or calling names. :)

[roozle.livejournal.com]

I don't know the LMB books at all so the fic would probably be wasted on me. But huzzah writing (anything) and even more having fun with it.

[therhoda.livejournal.com]

gregor?? *opts in* because he is just well so play worthy.

[juliansinger.livejournal.com]

Lemme in.

Also, I'm really glad you're finding something creative that works so well for you.

[awfief.livejournal.com]

same here, but I wouldn't mind reading it if it'd make any sense to me.

Wishing you joy of it.

[kmhoofnagle.livejournal.com]

I bumped into you via an r_ness post, glanced at your lj, saw you were a LMB fan, looked at your other interests and thought "I should friend this woman".

I'm not much for slashfic, and therefore am not asking to opt in, but I *completely* get it about suddenly finding an outlet for a need to write.

Go with it!

Yay porn! *cheers wildly*

*hug* Isn't it exciting and so much fun to write, anything at all? *sends love*

Re: Wishing you joy of it.

[quietann.livejournal.com]

thanks. I'll friend you back, too :) R-ness is a sweetie!

[quietann.livejournal.com]

so... opt you in?

[quietann.livejournal.com]

Well... of course I think you both should start reading the books :) Not like you don't have anything else to do...

[kkpixie.livejournal.com]

Yes^.^

[coraline]

opt-in please :)

(i'm not big on slash myself, but that's mostly because there so much absolute crap out there. the concept itself can be quite charming. there was a piece of gregor/mark slash i read which was absolutely amazing -- i didn't think anyone could possibly write that and have it ring psychologically true, but they did. wow. i wish i could FIND it -- if i do, i'll send it along.)

* opts in*

Considering the Star Trek Slash Fic I wrote for one of my exes back in college, I'm hardly in a position to toss insults around when it comes to such things. I'd be interested in reading it.

[quietann.livejournal.com]

congratulations on being the first guy to opt in. (Ben got put on the filter by default...)

[jiapa.livejournal.com]

Can I opt in too, please?

[quietann.livejournal.com]

done -- now that I have figured out who you are (duh!)

[castiron.livejournal.com]

I'm interested! Opt me! Opt me!

[quietann.livejournal.com]

**done**

enjoy :)

Ah, so it had a similar effect on you, too, then! LOL I'd not have guessed, especially since it was stumbling across your pieces was what inspired me to up and do some writing.

It's (obviously) up to you if you want to opt me in. You would have to friend me, and I might well clutter up your f-page with mostly non-Vorkosiverse stuff (though I feel at least a short run of fic coming on), though I do try to lj-cut stuff that gets too lengthy. Also, I clearly overuse the word "though" a lot. ;-)
