Can you feel a little love?

[fan_elune]

Gakked from khylarenelf:

1. Your Live Journal "user name" & what it means:
Well, I'm Fan'. But for once LJ isn't big with the apostrophe love, and then it was too short. So I added Elune to it, which is the name of a goddess in... some fantasy thing I never read, actually - it's a whole thing with greenie_breizh's brother. I like the name.

2. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) how well does your Live Journal represent who you actually are?
I'd say maybe 7. Yeah, 7 is good.

3. How much about your life do you post to LJ?
Not so terribly much, simply because it wouldn't really be of interest.

4. Is there anything you refuse to post about?
Yeah. Some things are private.

5. On a scale of 1-10 how interesting do you think your own journal is to others?
Not that terribly much - 4 at most?

6. From who/how did you find out about LJ?
It's cgwriting who first suggested I get myself one. Shibby idea, that was.

7. Has anyone ever joined LJ because of you?
greenie_breizh and heikki_cheren.

8. What proportion of your posts are friends only?
None so far. What I post is not too intimate or anything, so...

9. What is your favorite interest on LJ?
Reading up on my friends, and fanfiction.

10. How many missing questions have there been on this survey that you've had to make up yourself?
None.

11. How often do you respond to/comment on other peoples' journals?
Maybe 30% of the time? Due to my having limited internet access, I don't comment as much as I would otherwise.

12. Do you prefer to write in your journal or read other journals?
Can't say there's one I prefer. I guess it really is the interaction that I like best.

13. Have you ever had something mean said to you or been stalked, harassed, or got into an argument/flame war on LJ (or did it to someone else)?
Nope.

14. Have you ever banned someone from your journal?
Nope.

15. Who are your three favourite LJ friends and why?
Three? How can I pick three? To quote Pirates: "No fair." But, er, obviously greenie_breizh, it's pretty obvious why (she gives me the best cookies *wicked smirk*). And... this is hard. In fact, I'm boycotting that question I think. How could I choose? The heroes can never choose (well, Zoe can, but Firefly just rocks).

16. How many of your LJ friends have you actually met?
Let me reassure you: the cookies are very much not of the virtual kind, so, greenie_breizh. And heikki_cheren, theswordman, twixou and yodah.

17. Of all of the people on LJ you know of, who is the most like you?
I guess greenie_breizh 'cause we do have an amazing number of things in common, but then we are so very different too... I can't say.

18. Why are you most likely to add someone to your friends list?
They're either friends of mine, fellow writers (one of those does not include the other), or characters I like (anybody who's hooked to BMB: check out foxman and mymindkills).

19. Do you automatically add friends to your journal if they add you first?
So far, yes. Though I tend to never check who has me as their friends, so let's say that in theory, yes.

20. What is the most likely reason you wouldn't add someone to your friends list?
Because I didn't care or didn't like them? Stupid question.

21. Is your "significant other" on LJ?
Yeah.

22. Have you ever wanted to meet someone on LJ?
Very unrealistic goal: to meet everybody on my friends list (apart from fictional characters, of course - though in dreamland, I wouldn't mind that either). I would sure love to spend some time with khylarenelf and cgwriting.

Looks like I'm not as crazy as you could think. Yay!


That being said, we watched If these walls could talk 2 last night and boy, okay, Chloe Sevigny does have something in that movie. She has the same kind of energy as Stuart in QaF UK - so very sexual. Can now understand greenie_breizh's obsession with her.
We also watched Snatch again - kudos to Brad Pitt, really, he does an amazing job in that movie. Love all the accents, too, and Jason Statham rocks. Big time. This movie is such a good piece of fun.
Which Dogville was not. It didn't get to me as much as Dancer in the Dark had, but still. The directing was really fascinating, and the acting... Joss, the acting. It was so very good. Entrancing. Revived my Paul Bettany loving, too - I wanna see Master & Commander again, now - despite the disappointment in Billy-sightage.

Which makes me think, I crossed a new line. And it's all khylarenelf's fault! I was rather angsty the other day, and she'd posted some fic recs, and one of them she said she read to cheer herself up, Billy's Best series by Lemur. So yes, people, I have read my first RPS fic... and I enjoyed it! Tremendously so, in fact. This series is so incredibly well-written and realistic, it's not just the guys jumping on each other and shagging like bunnies right away. You see the slow process they have to go through, questioning their sexuality, acknowledging the attraction, etc. It's just... wowowow. So very good. Have already read it twice, actually, just because I can't get over how realistic and touching it is. It rings true. (How bad is it? I'm enjoying RPS! Or, okay, one RPS fic.)

Mwa! Yes! Got you hooked on the BB Series. I'm glad you read them, because they're just so...so damn good. Don't feel bad to admit you actually liked them. I don't read RPS either. Ever. NEVER. Except for the BB series. Because its worth it. ;).

Oh, and for the record, I got Cinnie to read them too. !

Re: Heh, another one gets hooked....

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Hooked is an understatement. I'm just in awe, basically. I mean, it all feels so *real.* A part of me wishes it weren't RPS, but then I just love her (her, right?) characterisation of Billy and Orlando. And all the guys, really. It's tricky, RPS is, 'cause of this whole "they're characters but they're actual people" thing. But it sure feels real, not only in Billy and Orlando's questioning of their sexuality, but also from what we've seen of the whole cast in documentaries and stuff. It's still weird, but - this is a good piece of fiction. A very good piece of fiction, so far.

And so, Cinnie liked it too?
