Because I love you all!

Today is a good day! First of all it is [livejournal.com profile] hesadevil's birthday - may you have a *fabulous* day dear, with lots and lots of Spikey goodness! *hugs*

Secondly it is my 3 year LJ anniversary! It feels like so much more... or rather my life pre-LJ seems a strange and fuzzy thing, like it was in black-and-white. It is quite simply not possible to put into words how much you have all enriched my life!

Funny how things can change - back then I thought slash icky, didn't have a clue about Doctor Who (some guy with a long scarf?), and worried that I wouldn't have anything to say...

And well - this is post #1,127! So, because those worries still make me laugh, today I'm going to do my best to prove that I can't shut up and spam you all (in a probably misguided attempt to say thank you to you all for being so wonderful) - I've been working on lots of different little things, and I think there should be something for everyone!

And then I'll go away and work on the stuff I *should* be writing! Promise. (This is of course presuming that you are interested in me at all. But then you've stuck with me for this long... *g*)

Of course we're interested. And I'm very glad you don't think slash is icky any more, though would be v. interested to learn how that happened.

*waves back*

Hee! And two of the items will *definitely* be of interest to you! :)

though would be v. interested to learn how that happened.
Um... it took a while. But I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the first (porny) S/A story I read was [livejournal.com profile] estepheia's Nothing Else Matters, which I loved to pieces, even though I had to read parts of it through my fingers. But it showed me that the pairing could work, and *beautifully* so, so I'd check out recs... and then, somehow, everything just turned upside down and I was lapping it up. But it all stemmed from really good characterisation. :)

That is a good story, but then she's such a wonderful writer. She's currently writing a Giles/Ethan story which is brilliant stuff (no sex - at least, not so far - but so much richness in the characterisation).

Anyway, I'm glad you decided to give slash a chance. I think you soon get used to things that would've been shocking/embarrassing when other people around you are neither of those things. And of course, while the sex is important (or we wouldn't have PWPs) we soon learn it's not really the crux of the matter, or at least not always.

Some writers can make almost anything appealing.

Indeed. And it was only a small step, really, because I loved everything *else* about the Spike/Angel dynamic. (Almost every fic I've written has those two in, even my first one. I just can't get tired of them!)

Despite all of LJ's problems of late, it's still a good place to be. Because people like you are here. :-)

Happy LJ-versary!

*g* I loved that quote. It reminds me of one of my favorite Calvin & Hobbes strips.
