Also, I Genuinely Believe That Oxford Is Silent Hill.

I seem to remember that there was a 'Five/Ten/An Infinite Number Of Fannish Confessions' meme going around a while ago, and I thought 'hey, that could be fun!'

But then it occurred to me that I, er, don't really have much to confess. At least, not that I can think of. I think I've already mentioned most of my shameful shameful fannish secrets. 'I AM IN LOVE WITH AN RPS THREESOME' or 'I CAN'T STOP WRITING CROSSOVERS HELP' wouldn't exactly be news, would it?

However, I was able to come up with four things:

- I am a colossal feedback addict. I'd forgotten what the feedback high felt like until I wrote and posted a couple of fics very recently. The problem with this is that I'll sometimes be tempted to put up a subpar story just for the feedback (yes, it's awful, I know), and then I'll come to my senses after two hours, take it down and hide from the community for a while in shame.

- I will write absolutely anything if the idea pesters me enough. I can't write smut to save my life, but I can be persuaded to write almost any concept, no matter how ridiculous. It's why I always end up writing ridiculous crossovers and parrotmonkey/elf romance. Some of you have already taken advantage of this by suggesting insane fanfic ideas to me until I snap and write them, damn you.

(I love you all really. Some of the fanfics I'm most pleased with have come out of evil persuasion by you people.)

- I don't like Terry Pratchett. I have tried and tried to like the Discworld books, but I just can't. I'm sorry. I couldn't even get into Good Omens, even though I really like what little I've read of Gaiman.

- I am attracted to the wrong Top Gear presenter.

um. Does this explain why one day I looked on topgearslash and saw you'd posted fic, about which I made a mental note to read, but which then had mysteriously vanished a couple of hours later when I got round to doing so?

also, not even Good Omens? *cries*

also also? regarding Gaiman, Coraline is very good, as well as the obvious Sandman and American Gods and so on.

Er, yes it does. I put it up and then realised 'WHO WOULD WANT TO READ THIS? IT HAS NO SUBSTANCE AT ALL AND REVOLVES ENTIRELY AROUND JEREMY AND JAMES ANNOYING EACH OTHER IN A CAR.'

*puts up hand*

I want to read it.

"IT HAS NO SUBSTANCE AT ALL AND REVOLVES ENTIRELY AROUND JEREMY AND JAMES ANNOYING EACH OTHER IN A CAR.'"

THIS IS WHAT TOP GEAR IS!

OF COURSE I WANT TO READ IT. SUBSTANCE IS OVERRATED.

Sorry, been a bit absent lately, but yes, I'd love to see that!
