Gonna do another one of those meme things.

Ask me a question. Ask me anything at all. Within reason, I will answer.

*needs to get out more...*



EDIT: I volunteered to do a job for my mother this morning. She said I was an angel. Then she looked me up and down, and ammended her statement. "Well... a slightly *sleazy* angel."

Best description ever. I love my mum. :D

Not so far it's not. =) I rely on my buddies to make it so. C'mon... scare me!

Don't dare me honey.

Do you think you have a sexual investment in writing m/m slash?

Would you let your parents/siblings/other immediate family members read it, and why?

What do you think the characters you like to slash the most say about you (when you slash them)?

If that's not scary enough for you let me know.

Sexual investment? I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Putting it in my spankbank? *g*

I don't know what a spankbank is -- I mean, I'm guessing, but I don't know. I didn't mean any kind of masturbatory impulse I meant does it say something about your sex life, preferences, expectations, experience, that sort of thing.

See the next two answers. =)

Sex life? I don't need no steenking sex-life.

I don't feel emtionally mature enough yet for the type of relationships I am expected to have at this age. I want a fifteen year old relationship. Kissing, and hugs, and *fun*. I don't want to have sex. I'm really not interested right now. And I can thik of nothing more hideous than having long, intense discussions about "where the relationship is going". I'm very immature, and for the moment I'm happy to remain so. I really don't need anyone else to make me happy.

Sorry... was that TMI? *g*

Not TMI for the question, but it was a pretty oblique answer to the question. *Prods*

Unwarranted I know, but you did ask for it.

So what precisely do you want to know?

I think... slash has very much affected my expectations, my preferences. I mentioned that I'm not homophobic, unlike my family, and I think I would have been disgusted and uncomfortable with myself because I'm bisexual if I had not fallen into this. Slash made me realise I'm not a complete freak of nature. Slash made me sit down and think about it, and realise that this *wasn't* just some teenage period of sexual uncertainty.

It has also opened my mind to the various options available. In my house, it's pretty much like sex toys/sex play/fetishes are for deviants, whereas I feel like I'd be more open to trying stuff out.

Plus... slash has made me more willing to stick to my convictions. To not just *settle* for someone. I want someone special, and I'm not settling for less. =)

More helpful? *g*

That's such an interesting interpretation because obviously people go through that curve without slash and slash could be very easily seen to be more open -- just trying things out, sex for interest or pleasure's sake, rather than hanging on for someone special.

What can I say? I'm a romantic. I rarely read PWPs. I want a one true love kinda deal, but if it doesn't happen I'm happy to be single. I'll be the neighbourhood snake lady and scare all the kids. =)

I would never *ever* let my family read it, as they are remarkably homophobic. I don't know exactly how I turned out as I did, though I'm sure finding slash at 14 helped a lot. Two of my cousins are lesbians, and it's like they don't exist. I would really like to get in contact with them, because they might have some advice...

See, that's the other thing. I'm bisexual. I haven't told my family, unsurprisingly. I don't want to be disowned unless it actually becomes an issue. At the moment, I don't want to date *anyone*, so it's cool.

They'd probably be a lot more understanding than I give them credit for. But I know I'd lose my brother.

On the other hand, I am subtly showing my little sister a different point of view. I reckon she's a potential slasher. *g*

Hmmm.The characters I like to slash tend to be the characters that hate each other. I absolutely love angst, and that shows in what I write.

*confession time* I gave up playing games pretty late in life. My friend and I still had a very rich fantasy life long after everyone else had given up. When we played, she always pretended she had a steady boyfriend, while I was more likely to pretend that I liked someone but didn't go out with them. And if, during the course of the game, we *did* get together, something terrible would happen to them. They'd all die or something. It was like I was Kirk and they were my manbitches.

That's kind of carried over into my slash. I rarely write anything other than first time fics, and if I do write established relationship fics, something *always* goes wrong. So I tend to focus on pairings that are doomed. Maybe I can get around to writing some SB/RL now. *weeps*

Now you see why I'm single. =)

Well, no, but I see something about why you think you are single.

Anything else? *g* this is fun.

Well you know best what you'd actually be scared to answer. And it would seem overly cruel to dissect your LJ looking for what might provoke a more painful response (I save that kind of scariness for people I'm really close to).
