8/10/03 23:171. I've only tried to write a Smallville het story once, and I couldn't get past the three paragraph mark.
True. It was Chloe/Pete (the only sv het couple I was into, and thus a practically nonexistant one), and I had big plans but couldn't pull it off. It might have been the Pete voice, or just generally apathy.
2. The first fanfiction I ever wrote was for Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
True, surprisingly enough. This was quite a while after I discovered fanfiction, but a year, year and a half before I got into fandom. I don't remember what it was about, but it was a few jotted down sentences.
3. Before my eighteenth birthday, even while I was reading and writing porn regularly, I never belonged to any mailing lists that required you to confirm your age with the list owner in an email.
True. Telling yahoo the wrong year of birth so it let me onto adult lists? No problem. Actually emailing people and lying to their faces (so to speak)? Eeep. No. So yes, that *is* an effective weeding-out tool. Imagine!
4. I have no squicks strong enough to make me outright refuse to read a genre or type of story. I'll read pretty much anything if I trust the author.
Ha, LIE! I've told people this before, though, because it *used* to be true, and it still mostly is. The one exception I currently know of is Smallville Clark/Chloe stories. I can't even read them for my favorite authors. I can barely get through
taraljc's episode commentary, man! (Although I cannot tell you how grateful I am she doesn't use the kissy icon anymore.)
5. I was introduced to fanfiction and slash at the same time, and it took me a while to realize that people wrote actually wrote het as well.
True. Yeah, I'm slow sometimes; the two concepts were just very closely linked in my mind for a long time.
