My Autobiography Is Going To Be Called 'How Rei Ruined My Life'.

[rionaleonhart]

In my last entry, I mentioned the subject of inappropriate stories for Disney to adapt (Disney's The Human Centipede, for example). kadrin, because he is magnificent, posted this work of genius in the comments.

Unfortunately, that work of genius did indirectly lead to the following incident, also known as How reipan Ruined My Life:

(We are at a party hosted by our mutual friend Yuffie and her boyfriend. Also in attendance are various friends, acquaintances and people I have never previously met. I have brought along a printout of the above-linked work of genius and shown it around. Someone asks where it came from.)
Riona: Well, I have a blog, and—
Rei: She's kind of Internet famous.
Riona: I'm not Internet famous; I just—
Rei: She's Internet famous. I have met people who have heard of her.
Partygoer: What are you Internet famous for?
Riona: I'm not—
Rei: Top Gear fanfiction.
Riona: ...oh, God, really?
Rei: Yep. Sorry, but it's what most people know you for.
Riona: (trying to salvage the situation) You write one story in which the Top Gear team— (I am going to say 'train Pokémon')
Rei: Have sex with cars.
Riona: ...
Riona: ...
Riona: ...well, actually, I wrote more than one story about that.
Riona: ...
Riona: I'm - I'm going to leave now.

REI. People did summon me back when I attempted to escape, though, so I suppose I'm not ostracised? (Rei later, having observed that one of the guests had a wonderfully rich voice, made him read an extract from Fifty Shades of Grey aloud for our amusement. She's wonderful really. BUT ALSO TERRIBLE.)

I am both deeply amused and slightly terrified this will happen to me one day. (Although it seems like the most famous fanfic I've written are in Doctor Who fandom, so I'm more likely to get an awkward "You know, songfic?" than anything about men having sex with cars.)

[rionaleonhart]

I am going to send Rei through the post so she can do the same to you.

HEEEEEE.

On the bright side, she didn't mention the whole Zombie Piers Morgan thing.

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Riona was pretty much responsible for that, how was it not the thing that came up?

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

I'm glad they went with the carsex, though. It's a bit more normal for people familiar with Top Gear.

[rionaleonhart]

You know something's gone very wrong with your fanfiction-writing when people can say 'phew, it's a good thing she told everyone about the carsex instead of something really weird'.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

Blame Top Gear instead! That show invites man/car pairings.

Now, had you written a carsex fic for Glee, that would be weird.

Fixed that for you.

There are worse things to be known for.

[rionaleonhart]

I'm certainly glad she didn't choose to expose my secret identity as Genocider Syo.

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

That could have been awkward. (Speaking of Syo and by extension Dangan Ronpa, I love that JUNKOS is apparently a valid answer this time. The forum is going mad over this.)

Pffft, oh Riona. Bless you. XD

Well, what was I supposed to do, lie?
