I have one, but I'll wait until a few people post.

I contour my body in weird ways when I'm alone and don't even realize it.

Contort? If you really mean contour, then I am intrigued, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

This amazing secret about handwriting reminded me of a weird fact.

Basically, I used to have a brilliant maths teacher who was very kind to us all and, to be completely frank, was the single best person I have ever met in my entire life. But his health was failing (since he had worked as a volunteer in a high radiation area). And his eyesight was pretty bad. So he would ask us to write the assignments in big, legible letters.

Which is why my handwriting is still HUGE and very clear. Whenever someone sees something I wrote, they go all "...wow, this is certainly something", and I experience a touch of sadness because I remember this guy and his lessons.

This is so sweet.

When writing, I have a hard time even mentioning in passing that a character is injured in some way, because I keep turning myself on. :| It's really distracting, and since I write action/adventure, it's kind of hard to avoid.

That's interesting. If you don't mind me asking, is it the thought of someone being injured itself that turns you on, or is it the thought of them being helped?

nayrt, but I have a similar thing, and for me it's a bit of both? I can't really explain why, but definitely the 'hurt' part of strikes a strong reaction - and these are always characters that I love, and I put them through the wringer. I think the flip side is the 'comfort' part, but that's not the part that gets the visceral reaction. In fact, I don't like fics that dwell too much on the long slow recovery part, but I do like fics that dwell on the trauma of the injury. And I have no idea why - it's just a thing with me.

This has just started happening to me lately too. I was surprised at first, but I guess I really do like putting my favorite characters to the test. It's fun.

I get very stuck in a character's headspace just from reading fic.

If I read too much I lose the thread of my own life.

I've watched Labyrinth for the first time this week with a friend who is a very big fan and while I did enjoy it (I mean David Bowie and his bulge, the singing, the bad acting! I love So Bad It's Good movies), I was kinda creeped out by the implied relationship between Jareth and Sarah. The weird thing is it's precisely the kind of things I would have liked when I was 16 - I used to ship Snarry. Made me feel so old... Got any god recs btw?

May I offer you my favorite Labyrinth fic author ever? https://www.fanfiction.net/u/246019/Scattered-Logic

I rec her Labyrinth stories as some of the best writing I've found. She's writing Harry Potter stories now, but I miss her Sarah and the stories she wrote for X-men. You can find her on Digital Quill, a site she set up. Happy reading!

Back in the late 90's, I was avidly reading Labyrinth fic on old list-servs and such. There was a huge mailing list and loads of stories everywhere. Here's a link to some nostalgia/info: http://labyrinthfans.proboards.com/thread/832/seeking-labyrinth-fans-fan-history

Thank you so much!!!

If it makes you feel any better, a lot of the fanfic tries to address the issue of Sarah adjusting the power balance between herself and the Goblin King after she's an adult. It's an old fandom, but there's some gems in there. The most well known writer is KLMorgan:

Second the rec for Scatteredlogic, that's her archive above and her work is on there as well.

It's not fic, but I highly recommend Girls Next Door, a hilarious comic with characters from Labyrinth, Phantom of the Opera, and more: http://pika-la-cynique.deviantart.com/gallery/772068

Thank you; I'm going to check it out :)

I went through a period when I was between the ages of 10 and 11 where I hated going to the bathroom to pee. I would try to hold my pee for as long as I could. This would cause me some discomfort. I would deal with it by bending over and making a terrible sound, and I told people that when I did this, I was "thinking."

Here are two embarrassing things that happened as a result of that:
1) One day, in the cafeteria, I laughed so hard that I peed all over the seat and the floor. I tried to cover for it by "accidentally" falling off the seat and landing in the puddle. "I just fell into a puddle, guys! What am I gonna do?" To their credit, they went along with it and told me to tie my sweatshirt around my waist.

2) I had a friend over. At one point, I left her in my room alone (I don't know what I was doing. Maybe I had finally decided to go pee), and she made a recording on my tape recorder. I listened to it after I left, and in it, she said, "[Anon] has this thing she does where she bends over and says she's 'thinking,' but she's really peeing her pants, and we all know it."

OMG, #2 is mortifying. And I must confess to a similar escapade as your #1: it was in the winter, my friend and I were walking home a long long way, and I really had to pee. And eventually, it came to the point that I "slipped" and fell in the snow, and what do you know, there was a puddle under that snowbank and now my pants are wet. That's what I claimed, anyway. The science of it didn't make much sense, because it was much too cold for everything to not be frozen, but it was the only thing I could think of. Seemed brilliant at the time.

Holy crap. You handled that a lot better than I did. I never held it in on purpose but we were never allowed to go toilet in classes, so when I was really desparate one time, I accidentally went and was so mortified...

I'm having a very weird day today. Violently jack-kniving from overwhelming frustration to inexplicable giddiness, to some VERY dark considerations within a very short timescale. Certainly weird but I don't know if it counts as a confession, just kinda feel like bringing it up to be honest.

Oh, I have a less grim, much more fannish confession. I am convinced that I, in real life, would make one fucking hell of a private detective, if only I could be pushed into a situation where I could give t a real go. Yes, I do read a lot of detective fiction, what of it?

You should try writing your own detective fiction, and then becoming a snarky old widow in rural Maine with a jaunty theme song, and see how that works out for you

Hm... well I suppose I do already have a jaunty theme tune.

I'm sorry that you're going through that today. It sounds really rough.

Has that ever happened to you before?

Thanks.

Not such violent mood swings, but yeah I'm a full blown nutcase, I'm afraid. Meh, antidepressants help more than not.
