Calculated Anonymity

So, I write fan fiction.

Specifically, I write dirty fanfiction.

I know, it's a vice.  But as vices go, it's not that bad.

Unfortunately, it's not a vice that I'm willing to share with anyone I actually know, such as my mother and my friends from church.  That would just be bad.  Luckily, these days, it's kinda easy to be anonymous on the internet.

So here we are.  I started publishing on Twilighted a few months ago.  Then I started publishing on FF because a lot of people asked me to.  And luckily, a lot of people seem to like my writing.  All that proofreading for my boss and writing papers at a liberal arts college paid off.  Oh, and the reading of the smut.  That's important.

Actually, I've been writing for a long time.  When I was an angsty teenager I wrote a novel - God, it was so awful.  I've still got it around here somewhere.  But I've never actually let anyone read what I wrote before.  Now that some people are actually reading my stuff and liking it, well, let's just say it means a LOT to me. 

So, what is this about?

Um...practice, really.  And therapy.

See, I've been getting whispers -- I believe in whispers -- that it may be time to look into getting something published.  I have one manuscript that, though it's been on hiatus for some time, may actually look good in book form.  Hm, maybe the less said about that, the better.  But I feel like I'd like to share some of my thoughts with a wider audience. 

Most of my thoughts are pretty damn boring.  But there are some anecdotes that I think you -- and by "you" I mean a hypothetical audience that does not yet exist -- might find amusing.  Like the antics of my mom's really weird housemates, and the creepy guy up the street who has a crush on me.  Seriously, he's twice my age, he's only got one leg, and since he's diabetic every once in a while his blood sugar goes out of whack and his wife has to call the paramedics.  Yeah.  This is the guy who thinks I'm cute.

Also, I've been dabbling with GIMP - that's an open-source graphics program kinda like Photoshop - and I really wanted to design a blog.  Isn't my dragon cute?  His name's Harvey.

So, that's my first post.  Because I needed a post to work with on Blogger.  I hate code.

Peace out.
