#2 ::ahem:: how do you think I fall asleep most nights???

*whistles innocently*

#2 I still fantise/Mary Sue myself with him *sheepish grin*

#4 Oh do think! I love your crackfic!

I find these secrets very interesting all around.

Yay Mary Sues!

I think I am finally done staring at #6.

Nope.

I think these are great secrets. :)

I have difficulty not staring at that one myself.

Hahahaha. I totally got stuck staring there, too!

#2 - Dude! Not only did I write it, but I posted it! But where almost no one knows where to find it.
I do Mary Sue stuff in my head all the damn time!

I think your stories rank right up there for me.

Amen to #1 and #3. I thought about doing #2, but Vala saved me from it. Yet another reason to love Vala.

As for #9, is there some sort of ranking somewhere I should obsess over with great paranoia? I basically sort people into Readable and Not Readable, and there it ends. And then I don't read anyone most of the time, because I'm a self-centered fic snob.

As for #9, is there some sort of ranking somewhere I should obsess over with great paranoia?

Nope. Just my own insecurities.

If people know the Mary Sue things I daydreamed, I'd be thrown out of the fic club. ;-P

*snort*

Oh, I seriously doubt that!

I'm sure many of us have some that defy description - I know I do.

heeeeyyyy, I resemble that remark!

Oh, sign me up to some of those. Whenever I talk about a WIP, it never gets written - I hate that, because I love to talk about them. On the crackfic, I think people comment more on those - it's not that people don't like the serious fics (can I mention again how much I adored your apocafic?), but that crackfics seem to gather more immediate comments.

Oh, that moment... *happy sigh* Yes. Tragic love. Can't beat it.

I had a couple of Fandom Secrets that I didn't post, because I don't people to know all my insecurities. You're much braver than me with that last one. And I don't think you need to or should worry about it. :)

Again, I bask in the warm glow of your approval of my apocafic.

I suspect you are right about the crackfic, and I know you're right about not worrying about rankings. But...

I love my tragic OTP.

For *Snape*? Hee hee hee.

And I speak not to your insecurities because ... I mean, geez, I wouldn't want what I think to be stupidly obvious or anything. ;)

For *Snape*? Hee hee hee.

Yeah. I KNOW.

*blushes*

You should blush. *shudder* Then again, I wrote a sex scene for Chell from Voyager. A detailed sex scene. With much speculation about . . . yeah. *goes back to the Fantastic Four porn*

We all have questionable taste somewhere in our ~~present~~ past.

I don't think your crackfic is the best thing you write. I mean, it's fine, but I love the real stuff the best. There's only so much crackfic I can take before I just need a huge angst fix.

Oh man, we all have those Mary Sues! I still have lots on my hard drive. I may not have any SG Mary Sues that I've written, but trust me... they exist in my head. :P

That's a fic I should post under fic amnesty. The Daniel Mary Sue one, I mean.

Also, thank you.

Right after I hit post I realized that one of the reasons I think I like my crackfic the best is because it's...mine. I mean, other people's crackfic is awesome, but I like their real stuff the best, too. But with my own stuff, I don't have to think too much about the crack.

Does that make sense?

I got lost staring at Sam and Jack for a while.

By the way, I like ALL of your fic, angst-filled *and* crackfic.

That scene never fails to hit me right in the gut.

And thank you!

Oooh postsecret's for fic writers... nice. Some of them certainly apply.

Glad you liked them. They are awfully fun to make.

1. I agree

2. I do this every time I watch an episode with Daniel that I like. ~~which is just about every episode~~

6. Is an awesome moment.

now I should go make my own, just because.

They are awesome to make---and some of them turn out very surprising.

#9: Oh, god yes. I know what you're talking about completely. It freaks me out somtimes to wonder what people who read my fic think about it and what they must assume about me based on it.

Mind you, given that it's me, I tend to assume what they think is usually bad.

Although, in your case? I don't know who your favorite writers are, but I more than suspect that you hold your own.

It's funny, because even though I don't assume anything bad (unless someone's written extremely awful smut, and even then I tend to give the person the benefit of the doubt personally), I assume that other people judge me quite heavily on my fics.

I think that finding out how people regard certain secrets is fascinating--so many people have the same insecurities, which makes logical sense, but doesn't resonate with us unlesss we see them written down.

Well in case you care you're in my top 5 (this elitist moment will self-destruct in 30 seconds though......)

And re: the crackfic; personally, if I read something that makes me laugh out loud, it is much easier to comment and share the sniggles than it is when I read something that makes me cry/worry.
Tis easier to laugh in public than gush about how much something touched me without being embarrassed and feeling like a turnip.
I too liked the apocafic a lot; just enough the wrong side of straightforwardxx

I think what you said about crackfic/humor/fluff being easier to review makes sense.

Gotta love fear and anxiety, though!

Ditto here for number 8. Rofl and *hugs* for number 5.

I'm so ashamed of number 5. I didn't even realize it until I was thinking through possible secrets I could share.

I wrote a Sam/Jack poem, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago. Just in rhyming couplets because it amused me. lol. I hate, hate poetry fic, or whatever it's called. But at least now, you have learnt from this and can move forward.

lol

We're supposed to research?? lol Actually, I have been known to go look things up, but for the most part, *looks around warily* I make stuff up as I go along. :)

I know several writers who LOVE doing research, and I can't stand it. I just want to get to the writing, damn it!

(Although in my last few fics that's changed a bit, so maybe it's something that comes with writing longer fics. Hopefully).

Oh, I get that. I LOVE talking about WiPs, but sometimes it feels like the kiss of death.

And I totally know how you feel on that last one. *sigh*

I just can't seem to quite separate talking about it with actually writing it. Very unhelpful.

And maybe someday I won't care as much what other people think about my writing...but maybe then I won't be writing, either. I mean, I write for myself, but I also write for others, and if that ever changes, I don't know that I'd be motivated enough to spend time on it.

(Can't see that happening right now, anyway.)

it's 1, 2, 6, 7, & 8 for me. especially #8. research is too much like homework. and i've been out of school for 10 years.

Heh heh. Yeah. research is not all that much fun unless it's something genuinely interesting.
