One time only

Because [livejournal.com profile] cedarlibrarian, [livejournal.com profile] vesania_aeterno and [livejournal.com profile] seperis told me to, I've decided to just this once, do a meme. But it's like, subversive. And stuff. So.

If you really want to know why you're on my friends list, post and ye shall receive. Oh, will you ever. *g*

ETA: Ok, so it's slightly more difficult to be bitchy to people one likes and respects. Curses. I'll just bore you all to death with ramble...

Consider me posted. So there.

If I'd had it my way, Irony would be my middle name. Instead it's Channel, or some variation thereof.

Whyfor Andrea? Most of our interaction is on AIM, where you alternately stimulate my lazy brain, drive me totally insane and entertain me with the details of your wacky RL. Your lj doesn't really function in quite the same way as you do in real time, though. Funny that.

I keep you around for 2 reasons:

1) Your rants can be thought provoking.

2) Your rants can be damned funny, in a point-and-laugh-at-the-people-who-don't-get-it, kind of way.

I respect your bitchiness and your intolerance of stupidity. Gets me every time. That you use the phrase 'the fuck?' onlist on a fairly regular basis endears you to me and that you reproduce your posts on your lj so I don't actually have to read all those terribly scary lists, is just fabulous for me. I really don't have the patience to tool around. Your journal is like an archive of intelligent Remus-snark. Hell, the way you over think everything - it damn well has to be good stuff. *g*

Wait. Thought of a third reason. If I read your journal regularly, I can have a fairly good idea of what insane line of questioning you will pester me with next. Yes, I do remember the hours long conversation about Harry's sleeping habits. ^_-

Well, I certainly don't know why someone as cool as you would friend me! :P Do tell! ;)

You know I'm only keeping you around so that when I stab you in the back, I have an extra sharp knife, right? *g*

Let's see. I first friended you after a series of chats that [livejournal.com profile] seperis dragged me into. We had some fun and I really enjoyed teasing you. Especially fun was threatening to kill Lex and I still enjoy that to this day. *g* You seemed a little sweet, a little mooky, a little goofy, and you really are. I only occasionally read your fic, though I respect you as a writer and I don't share many of your interests - I shun Everwood with great passion and RWRfic bores me - but you bring out something in me that not many people do. You're cute in a way that doesn't make me want to punch you in the back of the head and sometimes you make me like happyfic, which I very much resent, but I can accept. So you see, I'm using you for the way you bring a little balance to my fandom personality. -.-

That you've betaed almost all my SV fic that doesn't figure into it. Not at all. Nope. La la la there was no betaing.

I also enjoy the rare flashes of evil that shine through the Good Witch Glinda thing you've got going on. Wicked!Caro is sexyhot thing. I am waiting for the serial killings to commence - it's always the quiet ones. But really, sometimes you seem too nice to be true and since the whole Weekend At Lionel's thing proved otherwise, I am kind of hoping you'll go off on the fandom some day, in either a wacky or angry fashion.

The chance to tease or possibly shock you also helps keep me on my game. *g* You're right when you suggest that I love to mess with you - it's ridiculously fun. The chance to subvert your RWR OTP ways is also something I can't let pass me by. I will one day convince you that Lex/Jonathan could be a good thing. Then you will stab your eyes out and run screaming from the room. But I will have been right.

Oh, and you introduce me to interesting new people. Which is sometimes good and sometimes not. ^_- There are certain people I fear you will someday drag me into chat with. *cough* You know of whom I speak. Say not the names of the evil-ish ones!

PS: In my next fic Clark is going to kill Lex and marry Lana.

PPS: And then Jonathan and Lionel get together, in an alliance of Doom and bring Lex back from the dead. They share him as their zombie fucktoy. They don't take turns.

Like [livejournal.com profile] tstar78, I friended you after meeting you in chat. We didn't connect as quickly though and certainly not on a personal level. I'm not sure that we've really managed to work up to a real friendship, though we always seem to enjoy ourselves when we meet up, in AIM or in comments. Specifically, your journal is sometimes damn funny, though I get the impression that you're holding back. I sense untapped reserves of both bitchiness and quality humor. You sometimes manage to surprise me, which is a rare pleasure - I can pretty successfully predict how a given lj fiend will respond to something, but not always you.

You also owe me fic and I have to take every opportunity to stalk you for it. That means randomly popping up in your journal to make unreasonable demands. And god fucking dammit, woman! Where in all the nine hells is my fic? *stamps cloven hoof* *breathes fire*

You have spark. You have not yet annoyed me even once (frankly, that's shocking since everyone annoys me; clearly we haven't been interacting nearly enough). You're always fun, even when you're boring. *g*

I have to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't I? *grins*
I'm just hoping you won't say 'Oh, shit! Why do I have her friended?'

Well, okay. After that intro to all of this it would take someone quite strong to resist.

I am not that strong. Go for it!

Image Gah. I want one of those too. And possibly that icon. Did you make it? Can I snag it?

Mmmkay. I'm assuming something along the lines of "You looked vaguely interesting but I still don't know you very well. Hopefully you'll stop rambling about Buffy now you've seen the finale." ;)

[identity profile] schmevil.livejournal.com 2003-06-12 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure which fic it was, but one of yours was the first Smallville fic I ever read. You're the first Smallville author who's body of work really amazed me and I grew to respect and not just like. You're the first person in Smallville fandom that I friended. You're the evil bitch who forced me to meet about 90% of the people in the Smallville fandom that I now have regular contact with. You're responsible for Transom AND Respire, to a certain degree and I'm still toiling away on that trilogy of stories about Lex's emotional and sexual evolution.

So I like, need a reason to have you on my friends list?

Well ok, if you say so.

1) Your fic astounds me, not so much for stylistic as conceptual reasons. It's like you took all the really cool (and dark) possibilities for Smallville and made them into a logical, sensual and very dark text. You often piss me off enough that I throw things. Dust made my muscles seize up. The branding put me over the edge and that's how I knew I'd read something truly amazing. I like the depth you bring to the characters and despite your protests to the contrary, your ability to make even Lana a fascinating and very human character. I'm skipping out on your current WIP, The Yard, because I wanted to experience this one from the outside, as I originally did. Reading WIPs, prereading and the like are always very rewarding and discussing fic with you has always been stimulating but I'm looking forward to reading this one cold. I may even be able to get some feedback to you. In email form. Shock. Gasp.

2) You occasional meta posts are very truly meta (not this watered down meta that's being passed off these days - kids!) and I do crave more. You over think some things more than the average fan, though with far more coherency and that funny thing called logic. I'm sure you've heard of it once or twice. It's a rare beast. You're a thinker and you can make Red Kryptonite make sense. This is truly a cool thing. You're able to gut your own experiences for essays which, like logic is too rare a thing.

3) Your RL posts are never whiny, even when you think they are. They're witty, naturally funny and show insight into yourself and others. I respect that. The excitement with which you communicate details of your job is at times childishly intense but always energizing. When you're up, reading your entries is like sticking a fork into a socket. When you're down, reading your entries is like being beaten with a wet sock.

4) You rec fic. Sometimes good, sometimes mediocre and sometimes bad, but you bring stories to my attention that I might not otherwise have noticed or bothered with. I appreciate McJenn's Read-Through Insta-Recs - like fast food for the brain. That you continue to rec Mobiusklein troubles me. I worry for your sanity.

5) You regularly call me a dork and take me down several pegs. I need that more often.

6) You're like, my SV mentor and therefore, I feel that I can blame you for everything. Ha. Wait 'til the Plex.

I could go on. But I'm going to stop before this becomes an essay. Can you be my big sister so I can pester and amuse you in person? ^_-

*Grins* Take it. I'm about to remodel my icons and it, unfortunately, must be cut. Feel free.

http://seperis.illuminatedtext.com/iconage/letopretty.jpg <--direct link if you want to pick it up there, in case yo don't have time before I take it off my LJ.

Leto is PRETTY when mostly naked. And I'm so glad the movie agreed with me. If only I'd found caps of that writhing. Mmm. Writhing. Writhe, Leto. Writhe for us.

[identity profile] vesania-aeterno.livejournal.com 2003-06-12 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you looked here?: http://groups.msn.com/TheLandsraad/letoii1.msnw

It's been awhile since I visited but they have a ton of relatively high-quality caps. And, yes, Leto is very, very pretty.

*takes*

Also, your 'Good girls do bondage' icon. Who is that and where's that picture from?

*grins* I am in obvious love with your icons. *considers go making some of her own*

- Andrea.
