The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.
Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.
And remember, NOTHING is taboo, absolutely nothing! (In fact, the jucier the better! :D )
I am not shy, so don't ask unless you really wanna know!

On men...boxers. They look better, unless you happen to be a supermodel, which most men aren't.
On me...bikini briefs or thongs...or nothing. ;)

I'm married. My husband and I just celebrated our first wedding anniversary on October 12! We've been together for almost seven years now. :)

What do you work on, why, and do you like it?
What's something you are really glad you did, and something you really want to do?
And now: craziest, kinkiest sexy tiemz ever. The why, hows and juicy details. I'm talking good story over quality here, but if you wanna talk about both, feel free to go for it.

I work at an Italian restaurant as a banquet server. I first got into serving when I was in high school, because it was pretty much the only job I could find. I ended up being pretty good at it, and I learned that the money is better per hour than you can get just about anywhere else - working part time, anyway - so I stuck with it. Sometimes I like it, and sometimes I really, really hate it. That usually depends on the people I'm serving. There are some real assholes out there.
Something I'm really glad I did...um...well, it maybe wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done, but I'm really glad I went to see Adam in Indianapolis. It was a totally last-minute decision, and it involved a nearly four-hour drive to an unfamiliar city all by myself. That's something I never would have had the courage to do a couple years ago. It was an amazing show, and totally empowering for me as a person to know that I could do something like that.
Something I really want to do...hmm. I really want to have kids. I have a little bit of college to get through yet, and I'd like to be established with a better place to live and a little bit more money before that happens. But yeah, definitely something I want to do if at all possible.
Ooo, you really went for it! Let me think...
WARNING: this gets really graphic, but you did ask!
My husband is really pretty vanilla, so all my RL kink experience is from high school, before we were together. Probably the craziest one was the first time I discovered BDSM. I didn't even know what to call it at the time, and neither of us knew at all what we were doing. Came totally out of nowhere, for me, and for him too. We were on a school trip, and me and this guy were fooling around on the back of the bus while everyone else was sleeping. Turns out there's a lot you can get up to in that situation as long as you're quiet. I remember having to wear scarves and turtlenecks for weeks after that, even though it was hot outside, because my neck was one solid bruise from his hands choking me. I also remember the feeling of going into what I would now call some variety of subspace - I wasn't even thinking, would have done anything he told me to, no questions asked. I definitely remember him fingering my ass and then telling me to suck his fingers clean, which is something I would NEVER do in my right mind, but at the time it felt perfectly natural, because he was telling me to do it.
The experience was actually really hard for me to deal with after, because like I said, I didn't know anything about BDSM. I literally thought something was wrong with me. It took a long time, probably about three years, for me to come to terms with the submissive part of myself and realize that it's not wrong, just different. And I think it's a lot of the reason I read and write fanfiction now, because like I said, my husband is Mr. Vanilla. Gotta get my kink from somewhere, right? ;)

Would you mind if I ask a few more? Because if so, what are you studying? and how long have you been married?
And the best things, are usually not the smartest, I think. After a little introspection, I think that's just the thing for me: it's empowering to do something that's "not smart" because you want to, and because you feel like it, even if you can't really justify yourself. And then discover you don't have to justify yourself at all because, yey! you are a grown up!
According to the little data I've been collecting, it seems that most of us really were at our wildest when in high school. Must be all those hormones...
Also, yeah, buses. Good times ;)
And I went to an all girls nun school, so pretty much nothing freaks me out or pings my TMI radar. We have those schools here were you can take a few elective classes in the last few year of school, but besides that, it was pretty much the same 25 girls locked in a room 6 hours a day. To say that we all got to know each other pretty well is kind of an understatement.
I kind of feel for teenage you, because that must have been pretty scary. It's a cool thing to know yourself, and once you embrace the fact that there's nothing wrong with where you get your kicks, the good times can really start. But being a teenager is hard enough without adding to it, and I would probably have ended hiding in my room for a year if it had happened to me. But then again, I have a tendency to overreact.
Also, the internet is an excellent place to decompress. And vanilla husband sound kind of adorable.

I'm a creative writing major, THIS CLOSE to being done with my bachelor's degree. I'd love to go on to graduate school, but that's gonna depend on finances.
My husband and I just celebrated our first wedding anniversary on October 12th. We've been together almost seven years, though!
My vanilla husband - Matt - is pretty much the most adorable person in the whole world. He's smart and funny and sweet and WAY more responsible than I am, which is a good thing, and we were pretty much made for each other. He's well aware of my fandom ways, which is kind of awesome! Sometimes he'll nag me to work on my original fiction, but then I just nag him back - he's a writer, too.

I've been wondering - nobody is BORN writing like that. Of course you have innate ability in spades, but how did you discover it? When did you start writing? Who influenced you along the way? Has your writing undergone a significant evolution? Have you ever formally studied the technical aspects of writing (grammar, punctuation, etc.)? How did you get into fanfiction? I probably have about a million more questions that are simply not at the forefront of my brain at the moment, so please do toss in anything you think is relevant :)

I've been writing since before I can remember. There are folders and folders of paper stored away in boxes that I can't bring myself to throw away, some handwritten, some done on a typewriter (I had one when I was a kid and I loved it!), some printed out from computer after computer, with more saved on various hard drives. I've always loved to read more than anything in the world, and I think that's what made me start telling stories of my own.
Now, that's not to say that I've always written on a consistent basis. I've gone years without writing a word...but it's something I've always come back to.
Influences...well, my mother always pushed me toward writing. I started college as a music major, French horn performance. When I ran into some serious struggles with that, she asked me to really think about why I wasn't doing something with writing, since it comes so naturally to me. I did, and ended up switching to a creative writing major. I'm as good as finished with it now, after several slow years of balancing work and school.
As far as literary influences, Tolkien was my first true love. After him it was Stephen King. I would say that I idolize the two of them equally, for very different things. My current favorite author is definitely Patrick Rothfuss.
I think my writing has improved greatly over the years, and I hope it will continue to do so. Reading work from only a year ago is almost painful, and I just want to edit it like crazy. If I had to choose one aspect that's improved the most, it would be dialogue. Description comes the easiest to me, while dialogue is the hardest. I've worked for a long time to be able to write natural-sounding speech, and I'm still not happy with it, though it's getting better.
As far as grammar goes...the short answer is no, I haven't really studied it, not beyond your typical student. I might know a little more than most people due to my English degree, but I honestly think the most important thing here is how much I read. I don't do grammar by rules - I do it by feel. I don't even really think about it as I write most of the time. It pretty much comes out just as you see it on the screen. I think that I've just read so much in my life that I have a sense of what's right and what's wrong. You may have noticed that I break with traditional grammar rules quite a lot, particularly when it comes to run-on sentences. That's part of what I mean by writing by feel. If a run-on feels right, I'm gonna leave it in. It seems to be working. :)
I got into fanfiction - reading it, anyway - way back in seventh grade, over ten years ago. I don't remember exactly how I discovered it, but once I did, I was totally hooked. I've been an active participant in a multitude of fandoms ever since then. However, this fandom is the first one I've written for in any significant amount, as you can see by my fic index. I don't know what it is about Adam and Tommy, exactly, but they've really opened the floodgates for me, and I love how it feels to be writing this much this easily.
Anything else that's relevant...let's see. I wish I was better at writing long pieces. I've been attempting to write novels for many years now, and I've never managed to finish even one draft. Either the story doesn't hold my attention for long enough, or the writing just gets so terrible that I can't bring myself to look at it anymore. This is a big problem for me, since writing and publishing novels is my big dream. That's why I sometimes feel bad about writing fanfiction. I love doing it, but it's not going to help me at all with my potential career. So if you see me angst over fic, that's why.
And HOLY CRAP this got long! If I haven't bored you to tears yet and you think of any more questions, let me know! :)

The trying to write longer pieces kind of caught my attention. See, once I heard a writer say she was teaching a class on creative writing, and one of the biggest problems she had run into was that everyone wanted to be good, so they backed off from exploring interesting ideas for fear of... well, you know. So, she got an idea, and from then on, started the semester by telling her students that, as their assignment, they were going to write a bad novel. Something just for themselves, something self indulgent that they loved, even if it wasn't good.
So, maybe you could try writing a bad novel? You can fix it when you are done, or not.
no subject
I've done that. The bad novel thing. It's a lot of the theory behind NaNo (www.nanowrimo.org if you haven't heard of it), which I've won three times. It doesn't seem to be enough to get me all the way through - my self-talk becomes so distressingly negative that I have to stop. Someday...maybe. Thanks for the tip, though!

*cheers you and your hubby on for your writing* You two sound like you are great together, by the way.
Slipping under
(Anonymous) 2010-10-31 11:34 am (UTC)(link)I also love the thought of men (and of course Adam and Tommy in particular) coming in their pants because of sexy things being done / sexy thoughts in public. Any thoughts?
Re: Slipping under
First of all, thank you. That story was a real challenge for me, because I knew most of my readers wouldn't be familiar with the kink. I'm glad it opened some new avenues for you!
This is another one of those graphic comments. Anyone scrolling by is warned to move along if they wish. :)
For me, it's a matter of mindset. Of course it's not ALWAYS sexy. Most of the time, it's not. But yes, there are times (quite rare) when I've done basically what Tommy does in the story. More often, I'll just masturbate while thinking about it. If you've never had an orgasm with a full bladder, you should try it - at least for me, it's definitely more intense. I also enjoy the image of other women being desperate or wetting themselves, something I discovered one day, years ago, on the internet. Google "female desperation" if you're interested.
Writing "Slipping Under" was actually the first time I've thought about men in this situation, and that was another challenging aspect. I actually had to do some research! At first, I wasn't sure if I'd be as into it, but once I got down to the emotion behind the kink, (something I always try to do), it worked just fine. I'm definitely interested in writing more of this story at some point!
Yes, I agree! Frottage is one of my biggest kinks - grinding up against each other, clothes still on, which can definitely be done in public. Very hot!
Thanks for some interesting questions, nonny. <3
Thanks
