Just your friendly neighborhood pimp

[hackthis_archive]

So, ethrosdemon made this post about people who friended her and then never said jack shit, and then she and I were talking about that, and I was like ‘Dude, I’ve got that happening, too. Why is that? Is my rep that bad? I paid a lot of money to have my record expunged, you know. If my lawyer isn't doing his job, I want to know so I can sack him.’

So, yeah.

I’m not trying to hate on anybody who’s just here for the fic, I mean that’s pretty much all that’s here anyway. If you're looking for somebody to get all personal, you should probably go elsewhere simply because that's not my thing. This LJ is just about me writing what the hell I want, when I want, but I’m dead curious why y'all are reading this and what kind of fic y’all are after. Are you working for Simon & Schuster? Are you about to give me a book deal, or better yet are you from DC Comics because I can give you some mad comic ideas? What’s your story? (I like stories, hook me up, don't salt my game.)


Random notes: Jeff Buckley is my musical hero. Seth is my sartorial twin, but I share a brain with both he and Lex. I would like to own a marginal percentage of Shady and/or Lost Highway Records. I prefer Green Park, the Northern Line and I support LFC.

i'm here because phineasjones kept rec'ing everything you wrote of the HP variety so i figured i'd save her the trouble and catch everything on my own.

which makes it painfully obvious that i haven't left a shred of feedback and now i feel quite like a goon, but perhaps this post will remind me of why i heart fandom so much and, also, that i need to feedback my favorite authors.

yes.

hi.

No, don't feel bad, I was really just dead curious more than anything else. Hi!

I have no idea, man. I think I friended you because I like your writing and then I stuck around because you say stuff that I find interesting. I'm not sure. Generally I go on random friending kicks and just friend left and right for a while. So, um, I guess you could say I'm just a friendly neighborhood shady character. Watch out, I'll flash your children.

Okay, see? Don't you wih you'd never asked? I think people often feel that way with me. Life's a country song, and I need to lay off the Aqua late at night.

*Cracks up* I suppose it's a good thing I don't have children then. Hello!

My story? No, you don't want that. It's very long and includes burning sneakers and much snark. *G* But hey - guess what? A lot of Jeff Buckley, too because *god* that guy was/is amazing. "Lover You Should've Come Over" is probably one of my favorite songs, pretty much...ever.

Also - yeah, you really, really *do* share a brain with Lex. Your fic = amazing. Like, muchly. And I don't say much because I'm busy worshipping you from afar and saying stuff totally screws with the whole "from afar" aspect of my worship. *G* But, you know, for variety, thought I'd pop my head in. *pops head in, looks around, waves*

Actually, I generally don't comment on much because my internet is really slow and I'm very impatient. But it's gotten fixed, and I am now starting to break the no-comment-y habit I've become stuck in. You know, one day at a time and the like...*G*

Wait, don't leave yet, you love Jeff so you can stay, plus we have cookies! And alcohol! And Thai food! Err, too many exclaimation points.

[serabut.livejournal.com]

I like what you write, and how you write them, and.... I'm a dedicated lurker=no feedback.

*sheepish wave*

Have a cookie, they're very good. Heavy on the chocolate.

Dude. I've got people like that, and I don't even write fic. Or provide pretty. Or write kick ass McWord Meta Essays. I'm not even snarky or amusing.

It is beyond me why people would friend me and not say a word. Not even a 'hi! pls friend me bak, k thx bai' and I don't know where they come from. Maybe I've just got cool people on my friends list, and therefore I'm cool by association. :)

In answer to your question, I pretty much read everything you write unless I have no idea what the canon is about. No idea if The OC will ever air in Australia, ditto Everwood etc. And you've really got to explain this Warrior Angel thing. :)

But if I had to have a preference, I've always loved your HP stuff.

Also, I think people are scared of you. You know, those fangs you've got can be pretty intimidating. Maybe you should start cultivating minions or something.

Speaking as a person "like that", everyone whose journals I subscribe to interests me, even if they're not necessarily of BNF stature, and boy, does that sound inflated, or what..

It is beyond me why people would friend me and not say a word. Not even a 'hi! pls friend me bak, k thx bai' and I don't know where they come from.
On occassion, I do make those kind of awkward hello posts. Sometimes I'm "friended" and sometimes I'm not. I don't take it personally (anymore) because I understand that people have their own standards of cool, or whatever it is, and anyone can't make everyone's bar sometimes.

Maybe I've just got cool people on my friends list, and therefore I'm cool by association.

I know I add people who are friends of friends, especially if their journals mentions my friends a lot even if we aren't friends or won't be anytime soon.

The persons who've friended me back, especially the persons I actually talk to via chat or email or RL -all outside of lj- have priority for comments, and I don't even have the time to make priority comments most times, so those who haven't friended me back don't even register on the radar. Besides, it's not like you need my comment. (insert -whomever- for 'you') You've got friends of your own, and avid readers, too, most likely. This is usually the scenario for authors with a huge "friends of" list.

Just my two cents.

As a direct aside to hackthis: I think you've found your one true fandom in The OC.

Maybe it's because I have gaps of having missed reading some of the fandoms that you've done, but it seems like whatever the fuck *it* is, you've honed it, and it shows.

Wow, I added you...a while ago, I don't even remember when. lol. I've feedbacked your fics a number of times, but not lately because I'm a horrible slacker. ;) I also actually read the non-fic stuff too, I'm just really bad about responding to anything lately.

And I worship Jeff Buckley. Yay for someone else who has similar feelings about his music. :)

*pins Offical Cool Chick button on* You like Jeff = you are cool with me.

[dolimir-k.livejournal.com]

Why am I here?

I heard there were cookies. *g*

Actually, I enjoy your writing. Now, I don't read all the different fandoms you write in, but the ones I read I enjoy. *g*

I also like reading LJs of other writers, their trials and tribulations, etc.

I've been lurking a lot lately because my meds don't seem to be working and I'm crankier than hell.

But I can be pacified by cookies. *g*

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

Feel the Jeff Buckley. Love him. Worship him. It's all about Jeff, even if I write hip hop slash. Don't get up on my shit.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

We love Jeff, no lie. Did you get the double CD that came out last week? Live at the Sin-e, two plus hours.

[happyminion.livejournal.com]

I read you because I'm in the O.C., bitch. What else is there to do down here for entertainment? *g*

Seriously, you know why I'm here, you know that you're my favorite baby girl, and you know that I'm dreadfully behind on your OC offerings since you returned from hiatus, right? Smack my hand, go ahead.

Also, I was telling Andy the other night, while we were both gushing over the joy of having you in the OC fandom, that I've always loved your on the edge Lex, but when I saw Seth and listened to how his wee little brain works I thought, Zahra had *better* take a shine to this show, because this is what she's been warming up for, all this time.

So yay! I'm here, going nowhere, still adoring you. *smooch*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I wasn't really aware when all the press and hype were happening for the show, so when I first it, I just kept thinking 'wasn't he Chloe's gay boyfriend on SV?' And then I had Seth moment, between his clothing style and his snark, and I was like 'AH HA! It's my soulmate! How come I didn't see him when I was vacationing down there?' Nuts. Will you be writing any OC in our forseeable future, because you know that'd be very cool. Just saying. *places large anvil on desk expectantly*

[titti]

Let's see. My fandoms are:
1. Buffy - check
2. Smallville -check
3. HP - check
4. X-men - check
5. Pirates - Don't think you did...yet
6. OC - check

And you wonder why I read. *g*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

[octette]

I don't work for S&S -- I work for Tor Books. Can I keep reading anyway? You write the best Everwood fic there is, and I'm a junky...

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You like my Everwood? Dude, that's so sweet, aw. Have a cookie.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Dude, people friend me every time I write porn. That's why I do it, don't you know? It's all a giant plot to get more lj friends.
Next up I'm going to write an epic PWP (is that an oxymoron?) involving Seth, Clark, Lex, Draco, Harry, Neville, Ephram, that hot guy from Hardcore Logo, Dom, Elijah, Hugh Jackman, Alan Cumming, and possibly Spike from Cowboy Bebop. Just you wait. It's gonna rock.

[wickedcherub.livejournal.com]

Oh. Do that, and I am *so* friending you.

I'd also consider adding Spike from Buffy. He's always a huge drawcard. :)

[ladysorka]

I don't know if I've ever commented on your journal, and I've had you friended for quite a while.

I have over 170 people on my friends list, whom I read daily and don't even put under a filter. I don't have time to comment on a lot of people's entries.

I friend people mostly because, quite simply, I find them interesting for one reason or another. I like they way they meta, I like the way the write, or I like their vids. Or some combination of the three. Or hell, maybe I just found something they said funny.

I like your Harry Potter fic, your Smallville fic, your Everwood fic, your X-Men fic, your the O.C. fic, your Ocean's Eleven fic, and I probably like any other fandom I've forgotten you did. I'm not big on RPS, but it's one of the only fandoms I don't do (in practically all of fandom, actually - I'm rather a whore that way), but then it's just easy to skim over the post and keep on going up the FL.

Quite frankly, yeah, I hang out and lurk because I find you interesting and because I enjoy your writing. And it's handier to have you on my FL than trust people to rec or to actually check out your journal.

I hope that answered your question and that I haven't offended you in some way by being a rather shy, timid, awkward little lurker. I'm going to go crawl back into my little hidey-hole now. *s*

*hands cookie* See, that's what I like to hear. You were honest and upfront and dude, 170 people? Daily? Whoa, go team you.

[quixotic-sense.livejournal.com]

I friended you because you write good Harry Potter and Smallville fics. That's all. Though, hey, I wouldn't mind if you occasionally write about your life too. *g*

[semisuper.livejournal.com]

I am your broken record. I intend to encourage, enable, and pimp any and all fic written by your corner of the fandom, whichever fandom it may be. *nods* Yes. that will be my job.

Yes, and you are a very adorable broken record too, just saying. Look, I have pretty icons.

[libralyte.livejournal.com]

i friended you because i really enjoyed your bobby/st. john stuff, and wanted to be able to keep up with it. also, i recently got hooked on clex, although i don't watch smallville, and i've been planning on going back and reading your smallville stuff, although i haven't really had a chance to do it yet. i also hear you're writing oc stuff? that's groovy :) so, if you keep writing, i'll keep reading. and generally when i enjoy a story, i do post comments, so i imagine (if i ever get around to it) you'll start seeing me pop up on your smallville fic posts :)

[nifra-idril.livejournal.com]

I would just like to say that your icon? Is amazing. That is all.

[pennyproud.livejournal.com]

I am here because ethrosdemon said if I friended you, she would put out.

It hasn't happened yet, but I'm glad I did anyway :P

Dude, I'm here hoping you'll write more Remus/Sirius. Or Harry/Neville. Or Lex/Oreos. Whichever. *g*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I'm hoping too, Victoria.

[fraulein.livejournal.com]

Like everyone else - I'm here for the fic. I added you when I found your HP stuff. I've since learned you have some excellent Angel fic out as well. I'm hoping you'll write some more HP - Harry/Neville perhaps?!

I'm still in my post 'The Trouble with Harry Potter' lassitude, but hopefully I shall write some at some point in the future. I heart Neville.

[celsia.livejournal.com]

I friended you for the fics, like so many others. I can't remember which fandom it was for though, cause you write for so many fandoms that I love.

And now, I think I'm going to start watching the OC reguraly after being reminded about it earlier this week from your fics.

Okay, it was a bad joke, I know this.

I think I started reading your HP fic... or something. People recced some stuff, and then you started writing Smallville. But I think I actually friended you when you wrote X men 2. And now you're writing the OC!

So yeah. I'm here for the fic. I forget to comment, but I'll try to be better about that if you like. :)

I've been writing Smallville since the dawn of time, and before that there was AtS/BtVS. Wow, we're really going back in the day. Anyway, hi!

[cupiscent.livejournal.com]

I feel sheepish. I have the same situation - friended people who have never spoken - and now you've reminded me that I've done that to you.

Bad Dee. No hotsweatynakedmen.

Uh, I'm here because I read swags of your fabulous HP stories on the Veela Inc mailing list, and you write amusing posts as well as fic. Helping to bring the random to my flist.

Well, Zahra dear, I usually want to comment but whenever I see the number of perverts on board (usually 30+), it's very disconcrting because I have this weird notion that my comment is not going to be read therefore, I flit away like an elf with a horn of Gondor in his ass.

So why am I here? I was supposed to be the one who will keep you from killing people off in fics but I guess that doesn't work out so natch. But i'm here anyway, waiting for the ressurection of Bobby/John fics even Potter fics - Draco/Harry, that is - and it seems at the rate you're going, I am about to wait for a goddamn long time.

I read comments like President Bush reads 'Dick and Jane' books. Oh, that was wrong, oh well. As for preventing me from killing people off in my stories, but why? It makes for great stories you know, and I did write some D/H last month. Okay, Draco was dead for the first part, but then he came back!
