Uh, I know I haven't written anything for ages (though I used to, I swear)... and I don't know whether to blame the weird discontinuity of HBP or my 'angest' or what, but. Well, I think of myself as 'still active' 'cause I have promised myself I'll finish my post-HBP H/D novella by my birthday, which is June 24th (AND NOW I'VE SAID IT ALOUD, OH NOES!!1) Anyway, I saw this meme and. <33333333333333333~!

Pretend for a minute that the only contact you have ever had with me is through my fic. We've never exchanged LJ comments or emails, never hung out in chat or on YM, never talked on the phone or met each other in person, none of that stuff. The only thing you know about me is the kind of fic I write.

What kind of person would you think I am? How would you describe my attitudes and opinions about real-life issues? Or, to use the rephrased question:

Based on the way I write my characters, and the way they speak, think, and behave, what would that say to you about my attitudes and opinions about real-life issues?

Hahahahahah, I am SO not answering this.

You are actually sort of similar to your writing. I think I probably am too. What do you think?

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

I totally think most halfway good writers, especially ones that have a distinct 'voice' are generally a lot like their writing-- and you definitely have a voice, so you're a -lot- like your fic. Or, the narrative voice and emotional range in your fics, anyway. Hahah, I don't just mean the snark and kink-type stuff, but in general. It's hard to whittle it down to a few descriptive adjectives, but. I would've thought you were pretty casual & open about sex, rather snarky (d'oh!), not the most optimistic person but still upbeat unless you're maudlin, not straightforwardly but sort of hiddenly romantic... possibly I'd say you're obsessed with bony hips :>

[addictedkitten.livejournal.com]

Has the hipbone fetish been that obvious? I'd thought the obsession with mild D/s would be more the standout, but okay.

Why not the most optimistic person? Are you sure that's not just because you know me, and I'm an emo bitch? I'd do this meme too, but I feel like most people will say what you said here, and that's basically that.

You're a lot like your fic, too; I'm not sure where you are or what you're talking about half the time, but there are occasional flashes of greatness and the overall experience is not unpleasant, as these things go.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Hee, I was being flippant with the hipbone thing-- I think because I too am obsessed with Draco's bony hipbones now-- and I'm sure it's All Your Fault. It struck me later that all that sounded as if I was taking it the other way and coming up with things I thought about you that fit your fics or something-- it could really go both ways. But I still think I remember those more serious bits in your stories because I pay more attention to them-- like your weird original fics and your swept-under-the-carpet depressing old not-so-kinky H/D stuff and etc. Hahah I think that's important too :> :> You really wrote a lot of angst. I think at -least- half of your H/D has been angst with unhappy endings, anyway, but maybe that's just the H/D demons :> A lot of your straightforward porn fics post-OoTP just sort of had the most depressing ending possible without being melodramatic, which sort of made it sadder-- like that one with the glasses crunching on the floor. I remember that one ^^;;;; The happy ones, you don't tend to finish once you get the porn down, it seems -.-;; heh.

....'not unpleasant', you say. Hahaha, I can feel the love ♥.

Post-HBP H/D novella? That would be so great!

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Haha, it would be, if I could swing it :>

[malafede.livejournal.com]

You would be a sociopath...

Ahaha. Okay no. You would be very warm and obsessive about each colour, smell, sound and little detail. You would be either very detached to make such a meticulous study of violent emotions progressing, or just a mess all the time yourself. ;) Um? Sorry, I am bad at this.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Oooh :D :D Either you really know me well, or I'm really transparent o_0 0_o *pleased, yet emo somehow*

[malafede.livejournal.com]

I'm just awesome like that. (see my icon?)

Do me now. But don't emote.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

I'm sad because I can't not be sad :( :( :( ;________; *walrusface*

[malafede.livejournal.com]

Focusing on your emo instead than my awesome is so typically emo.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

...you may be on to something there *self-flagellates* ;____;

[malafede.livejournal.com]

do me now.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

*is too shy and sensitive!!11* :(

[malafede.livejournal.com]

emo people are so self-absorbed.

DO THE MEME.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

WELL SINCE YOU ASKED SO NICELY. *is cowed by your... uh... aggressive vigor* o_0 *___*

Hmm. I'd probably think you were a harsh or 'gritty-realistic' (unsentimental?) type person, and there's a weird imbalance somewhere between your 'self' (pov) and 'other'-- since the 'Other' always seems rather enigma or cipher-like, and generally we see their actions but not their emotions. Also quite studious and meticulous, with an orderly, scientific and structured approach to situations, where everything (that isn't emotional) is quite thoroughly set up & explained. I think there are layers there, too-- an exposition/logical layer, actions/words and actual feelings underneath-- they all seem separate, as only rarely do the actions express the feelings or the situation become 'personal'-- it's like, the group stuff is always impersonal but within there's a very intense personal spark if you look for it. I think you might be the sort of person who overarticulates, also, with the degree of resolution about seemingly extraneous outside details-- not necessarily (just) personal/sensory ones, but all sorts of systematic details. It's like the whole and the outside is constantly given more attention, and the inside/internal struggle mostly shown by effect-- so I could say you're probably emotionally repressed but also quite an intense person, because the sex or love-scenes, when they occur, are so visceral and vital and bloody. I could also easily tell you're not a native English speaker ;)

*vigorously puffs chest*

'gritty-realistic' (unsentimental?) type person

mwahahaha.

jokes asides, I'm all "oooh" now. <33 I'm really touched that you see all this stuff in my writing, and while I'm pretty confident/proud/"that's my aim" about the layered, sort of cold level of detail, this makes me think, too. But do you mean, the emotions come across but they're sort of "mysterious", while the "idelogical" metatext is too obvious?

ps

[malafede.livejournal.com]

You know, a lot of this makes me think of me being a INFJ. And the Other. Oh, Other. I swear I love you.

Re: ps

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Actually, I was thinking that too as I wrote it. That's why I think it's hardest to answer this if you know the person v. well-- like, differentiating between what you 'would' and 'couldn't' know, stuff like that, 'cause the fact remains that you -know- too well. But yeah, um.

I think your question about the metatext depends on the particular piece of writing; sometimes it's better, sometimes it's not as well-done-- which is normal, right. Sometimes I go overboard with the emo too, I imagine :>

Re: ps

[malafede.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's hard especially if you've also *talked* a lot about their writing with the person! coughcough. I was also thinking that while doing yours. Um, sorry if it was so short. I sort of feel guilty now. These things never flow out of me like they seem to do from you. -.-;;
