fandomsecrets and hd_worldcup

[amanuensis1]

fandomsecrets is my new lj pleasure, and I don't call it a guilty pleasure, either. What's to be guilty about enjoying the open confessions and rants of people who are in an anonymous sharing mood? Seems quite natural to enjoy that.

Which is probably why I can't think of any fandom secrets to share on that forum. Because I already tell everybody everything I think. You all know that I 'ship crazy s**t like Nemo/Gill, love my main fandom even though I didn't much like HBP or DH, think everything is better with porn, defend fics vilified as having the most absurd OOC premises as clever tongue-in-cheek AUs, sometimes like the OVAs better that their original manga. I'm not even ashamed to tell you that when I was in college and the going got tough, I told myself, "Judge Dredd wouldn't give up! Neither should you!" and that would get me through another day. Heck, I should keep some fandom thoughts secret; then I'd be mysterious and alluring. Probably not going to happen.

On another note, all you Harry/Draco 'shippers, tomorrow begins hd_worldcup posting! Six weeks of posting, four teams worth of H/D fic/art, all tarot-themed. And it will all be posted anonymously! I invite everyone to guess which one's mine, 'cos guessing games are fun. And vote, too.

Your fandom secrets would involve what you consider your fic/writing/author weaknesses. Remember your answer to that snarry_games interview? *hee* In that, you are ALWAYS alluring and mysterious!!

*cuddles up to you*

Aha, those could be secrets! Except they aren't all that INTERESTING. :D

I find it sad that I know maybe two or three fandoms out of every sevret post.

There are a lot I don't know, but I find that it sort of doesn't matter. The same worries and fears are in every fandom, that's what that community shows me. ^_^

Yeah, like I said above, it doesn't even matter if I know the fandom or not--it shows that all the fandoms have the same insecure people, the same problems, the same worries and fears. ^_^

Judge Dredd wouldn't give up! Neither should you!

... I thought this was only me and that it was potentially a sign of mental illness. (Although, er, substitute Luke Skywalker.) I feel better for knowing that I am not alone in my particular nerdy form of self-encouragement.

Exactly! Our heroes were TOUGH. (Judge Dredd was especially tough, hee.)
