Just in case anyone's ever noticed.

Heh. I've had my livejournal over two years and just today, at last, decided to list some interests on my user info. Talk about procrastination. Eh, I think it's more that I assume others will think as I do: I figure if you found my lj, you'll stay if you like the content and not because we have interests in common.

I languish beneath your balcony, penning a very bad sonnet in your honour. You could have me on my knees with the crook of one delicate finger; I would even drink poison should your lovely self request it.

Mr Squee scoffs at my romantic, dogged devotion. Then again, he's really only here for the non-con.

Love,
Fan Girl

That's, like, the sweetest thing EVER. And if I'd really known what I was getting into, I would have picked a username like yours because that's way more the sort of squeeful thing I am, more so than this pretentious one o' mine which means "scribe"! *hugs you*

[fangirl-n-squee.livejournal.com]

Oh, but there's also the 1 on the end, which I interpret as designating you the very best scribe. So it is apt, indeed.

Actually, this is just my alter ego. We've met before but you probably don't recognise me because I was wearing glasses then.

Mr Squee, you haven't met. He is my reluctant sidekick. He would say hi right now, but he's a little distracted by your fic archive.

*hugs back*
*uses hug as excuse to put hands in questionable places*

Love,

Whoever you (guys) are, you're adorable. I'll let you have your anonymous fun. XD

[angiepen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's about right. I mean, whenever I do a search based on interests I'm usually looking for a community, either a place to get icons or a place to post my stories if I'm writing something new. It's bad enough sorting through the scads of irrelevant communities that pop up; I've never even tried going through the bazillion individuals listed.

I think it's more a matter of, OK, here's someone I like. Maybe I met them 'cause they posted a LOTRiPs story in a com, but I'll look at their interests to see what else we might have in common. Sometimes. Usually not, but hey, it's an option, right? [wry smile]

Seriously, though, I think the whole interests thing was a lot more useful back when there were only a few thousand people on LJ and doing a search got you a manageable list of journals.

Yii, has anyone ever actually put "harry potter" into the "search interests" field? And not, like, broken the internet under the mass of responses?

[angiepen.livejournal.com]

LOL! I doubt it, and I hope they never do 'cause, yeah, the internet would just break, irreparably. :P

I like you for your funny comments on mctabby's summary Executions.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I have SUCH a good time with those! It's the main way I get my MST3K fix these days. I love mctabby for doing those. *hugs you*

[mefeather.livejournal.com]

:D Exactly. I already loved to read your journal and your fics and stuff. So even if you had total different interests I still would be here. *grins*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I should put up, like, totally weird interests! "Banana squashing." "Dog shampooing."

[mefeather.livejournal.com]

*grins* You should. That would be fun. :D "Talking to plants" might be a good one too

[simmysim.livejournal.com]

That's why I've tweaked most of my interests. :D

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*goes to look* Oh, you have some lovely goofy ones! "Wanking off to doujinshi." Hee.

[kissed-by-fate.livejournal.com]

Uh, just a thought I've had for a while now... have you ever posted an entry that no one's commented on? ;)

Enquiring minds want to know...

(Okay, I had an answer, but then I saw your icon and snigiggled for about 20 minutes.)

Oh, I'm sure there have been! A rec or link I shared, that sort of thing. Sometimes what looks like a fic post is a link-to-the-fic-in-another-community post so I may get none or nearly none on the link post, which makes sense. I don't think I've ever blocked comments, though; let people comment where they like. And I'm not above posting "Your thoughts?" at the end of a meta- or ramble-post if I shamelessly want to insure discussion, though one should assume that all my posts end with an unspoken "Your thoughts?" ^_^

"Write me more fics" icon

[khym-chanur.livejournal.com]

Hee! Great icon. Does that line come from anywhere in particular?

Re: "Write me more fics" icon

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Hee, no, that's just what I imagine Lucius saying to me every time I contemplate HP fanfiction, since he's the reason I was pulled into it in the first place! 'S one of the very first icons I ever made.

Bride and Prejudice! Such a beautiful movie. I still can't believe how much the "quiet" sister was still able to rock out to "No Life Without Wife". Those girls really know how to dance!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

That was such a delightful film! I can't even count how many ways I've seen "Pride and Prejudice" done, but I can't seem to get enough of 'em. Loved watching the counterpoint dance between the men and women at the beginning, in particular!
