It lies in all of us, and other (brief) musings on passion

In your own space, share something non-fannish you are passionate about with your fannish friends.

It’s related to basically all of fandom, but my general passion is stories. Every culture has them, every person has them. Stories keep traditions alive. They remind us of times that are gone.

I love writing stories. I’ve been narrating in my head since I was little. I love reading stories. I love having people tell me their own, so I can keep another story preserved in my mind.

Uncommon loves, and other crazy fanfic rants

In your own space, rec at least three fanworks you thought you wouldn't like but did.

(All of these are Veronica Mars, Veronica/Logan. Sorry for the one-note, but I have way way too many VM bookmarks that I need to use somehow!)

Okay, fic narrated by a dog? Even one of the coolest dogs since Toto? It’s a cheestastic premise, and not necessarily in a good way. But then annie_oakley leads you through the Dog Years of a beloved friend and through him we see our favorite characters in his simplistic way of clarity.

I say it in my name, so no one should be surprised that I love fluff. I try to stick to the well-written, believable stuff, but sometimes I can’t help but be sucked into the cheesy depths of a happily ever after. So the title Nuclear Winter gave me pause. Already depressing, right? And the content is equally so. But the writing, the build-up of realism and happiness before the downfall is amazing.

I like my heroes heroic. I like them with their flaws that they recognize and work to conquer, but I do not mind admitting that I prefer a naïvely ideal hero. So Logan doing some Nice Work If You Can Get It for the Fitzpatricks…hated the idea from the start. If I didn’t love annie_oakley so much, I might not have read it at all. But I do. When someone brings you Like a Rolling Stone, another fic I was nervous about that turned out to be pretty damn amazing, you don’t turn up your nose.

In which Fluff plays down her love of reviews, and other, less important requests

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive.

1) Reviews. I can’t express how much I love them, although if you write, I think you know. My fic archives are up at the top. Reviewing anything would make me immensely happy.

2) An icon that says “No one is perfect except God. And Tami Taylor.” In either blue and yellow or two shades of purple.

3) A link to the cry-my-guts-out depressing fic where Logan and Veronica are married and they have three (?) girls and the oldest one commits suicide. Upsetting as hell and so so good and I can’t seem to track it down.
