[Picture is a screen-capture of someone's profile page on the fanfiction archive website "FanFiction.Net".]

The more FANFICTION I write the more and more afraid I get that I'll never be able to come up with anything ORIGINAL.

[Picture is a color drawing of two anime guys kissing.]

Sometimes it's cool to seme too, you know. I do all the work in yaoi roleplaying as one nearly all the time, so I know. [smiling face emoticon]

Saying you're too lazy makes me feel as though I'm forcing you like a big bad seme and that gets old after the millionth time.

Switching is for winners. Think about it.

[Picture is Integra Hellsing from the manga "Hellsing". She is a woman with long hair and eyeglasses. She looks like a no-nonsense kind of person.]

Integra was my first crush. [heart symbol]

[Picture is Ryuk, from the manga "Death Note". He is a shinigami. He looks like a humanoid creature not unlike a monstrous clown, come to think about it. He has too wide eyes with seemingly no eyelids and a large grin with very sharp teeth.]

I'd tap that.

[Secret five has been lost to the ravages of time. :'( ]

[Picture is Dr. Lisa Cuddy, as portrayed by Lisa Edelstein, from the TV series "House, M.D.". She is a woman with light olive skin, long dark hair pulled partially back and blue or gray eyes. She is wearing a pink blouse, a light gray suit jacket and a necklace of pearls or large beads.]

I have been in lust with her for at least 2 years. And I'm afraid to read or write fanfiction about her because I'm afraid she'll be ruined for me.

[The picture for secret 7 is missing, but going from the comments it seems that it said something positive about side characters in works of fiction.]

[Picture is a green semi-transparent sphere, reminiscent of the small "Materia" balls from the videogame "Final Fantasy VII". Inside the sphere is the word "MAGIC".]

How much damage would a .375 gram bullet, traveling at a speed of 322 m/s, do to an otherwise unarmored person covered by Protect?

Tell me I'm not the only person that's thought of it this way.

[Picture is a screen-capture of a LiveJournal journal.]

I have one of these for the sole purpose of self-roleplaying. No one but me uses it, watches it, or knows it's there. Am I a freak?

[Picture is the cover of the videogame "Final Fantasy VII". It shows the main character, Cloud Strife, holding a giant sword and standing in front of a huge building. There is the stylized image of a meteor falling behind the logo, which also boasts that the videogame is now available for the Personal Computer. Cloud is a man with light skin, short, spiky blond hair and blue eyes. He is wearing a purple sleeveless shirt with a metallic shoulder guard, a protective belt and some shoulder straps. He is also wearing heavy-looking gloves. He is muscular although slim and looks very serious.]

This is like my favorite game ever. I've had it for over three years. I STILL CAN'T BEAT IT. I'm at the beginning of disc 2. It's pathetic.

[The picture for secret 11 is missing, but going from the comments it said something negative about the quality of the "Harry Potter" series of books.]

[Picture is the entire main cast of the TV series "Firefly".]

I don't understand why Firefly is so incredibly popular. I tried watching it once, and was bored out of my skull. Is this stuff seriously supposed to be interesting?

[Picture is a glass sitting on a table. It is filled to half its height with water.]

Every time someone complains about fandom being mean or insensitive or resistant to change, I want to tell them this:

Stop being so naive. If you're going to go against the flow, the flow is going to go against you. Actions have consequences. You should know that by now. But the beauty of free will is that nothing is stopping you from taking the actions you want to take, besides your own inability to cope. Know your limits. And don't exceed them, it it's so much of a problem.

That's the glass; perceive as you see fit.

[Picture is a strip from the webcomic "Least I Could Do", by Ryan Sohmer and Lar deSouza. This particular strip is titled "It's all about timing" and was dated [unreadable].01.07. Two men, one brown-haired and the other darker-brown-haired are hanging around in a restaurant? There are various couples and Dark Haired Man is greeting a small girl. Brown Haired Man says, "Rather nice of you to bring everyone out for dinner." Dark Haired Man replies, "I do love my family." Brown haired man then says, "I know, you're just not usually this expressive." Black Haired Man then abruptly kisses Brown Haired Man in the cheek, surprising him. There is the sound effect "swek"? to indicate the kiss. Brown Haired Man looks to the side and blinks a couple of times, before asking, "What the hell was that?" Dark Haired Man answers, "I had a mild heart attack yesterday, and an epiphany of sorts." Brown Haired Man asks, "Was it that you're gay now?" End of strip.]

I just saw this and went YESSS! out loud. Noel/Rayne One True Pairing. (...If only they were like that ALL the time.)
