Ranking:
0-7: Fandom Virgin - You are a pure, untouched soul. You've never been in fandom before. In fact, you probably aren't sure what it is... Just don't ask us to be gentle, okay?
8-14: Fandom Saint - You're a saint! You've done so little wrong in fandom! ... In fact, you're kind of boring. Go out and write some smut already!
15-21: Repentant Sinner- You've made your mistakes in the past, but you're ready to let that go. With some good fic or fanart, you'll be in the fandom god's good graces again. Now get on your knees and show me just how sorry you really are.
22-28: Middle Way - You're a walking contradiction. For every good fic and thoughtful review there's a flame and a self-insert to balance it. You're a fence-sitter, neither good nor bad, though you have the potential for both. So make up your damn mind already!
29-35: Bad Influence - You're certainly not the worst that fandom has to offer, but your fandom soul is more than slightly tarnished. In fact, you might be responsible for the corruption of others. But you probably don't feel sorry about it.
36-42: Damned Sinner - Where am I? Where are we going? And why am I in this fandom shaped handbasket? ... Well, at least we've got really good smut here.
43-49: Fandom Demon - You've done it all, been around the fandom block, and baby, you don't even regret it. Satan could learn a thing or two from you.
Hmm. I feel as though this meme neglects a lot of things that I do, like fanart and icons, and probably should have some way of accounting for time spent writing/drawing/RPing or even watching/playing the source material. But oh well. :D I'm glad that fandom is not my entire life, even if it's probably a more significant part of it than this meme suggests.
Post a song you feel best matches your OTP or OTPs. Do not give any explanation about your choice.

Sleep Parade - Weeping Walls
We're ripping into each other, we're tripping over each other
We're ripping into each other, we're tripping over
Trying to push ahead, it never ends
It sucks us down, and rips us all apart
This can always change
On and on and on
Cracks appear in the walls
While it closes in
(We're breaking out)
These walls are closing in
(We're breaking out)
Suffocating us
(We're breaking out)
Our minds are caving in
(We're breaking out)
Of this ordinary world
We're ripping into each other, we're tripping over each other
We're ripping into each other, we're tripping over
Like an avalanche gaining momentum
Rising and climbing, it never seems to satisfy
These walls are closing in
(We're breaking out)
Suffocating us
(We're breaking out)
Our minds are caving in
(We're brekaing out)
Of this ordinary world
(instrumental)
Sacrifice this fear of change, rearrange
Tear apart your prejudice, intolerance
I'll tell you all I know, things can always change, change
I'll tell you all I know, things can always change, change
Well now, that was a lovely waste of time. :D

Date: 2008-10-20 05:41 (UTC)I'd join IMR if I knew the fandom, but like I said, all I get from it is what you and Mandy tell me, then on occasion Matt. I miss the crazy epic RPing we used to do a whole lot and even Epic RP isn't the same, which is really sad.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-20 05:45 (UTC)Epic was the same for a while... then I left and you lost Perion's voice or something, which fills me with great woe because, like I said, Shadow actually is liking it there, to some degree. And I like the snark between him and Perion. They're so awesome together. :o
no subject
Date: 2008-10-20 05:49 (UTC)no subject
Date: 2008-10-20 05:56 (UTC)I feel like I, and Shadow, know Perion really well and care about her, and the case is not at all so much with Persephone. I dunno. Perion is just awesome, and I'd finish the story on my own if I thought I was good enough at writing her, but there's no question to me that nobody but you could ever write her properly. I just have so many wonderful scenes imagined out already for things they have yet to do, and it'll make me really sad if they never get to happen. Because on some small scale, it really is an epic adventure that the two of them get to have. They're like the Doctor and Donna, only even better. I miss that. D:
no subject
Date: 2008-10-20 06:03 (UTC)Like, I know the two of them are separate entities, I can distinguish them well enough in my head and they each have their own voices, traits, etc. It's just kinda that the story continued in my head to a different point because of everything we had planned ahead, so I can imagine what's going to happen already and it's hard to drag it back that old point.
I still really do want to continue Epic, though. I think once we get past the point the two of them are at now, I'll be good. It's just getting through that I have to do first (and I don't want to skip on writing any of it because that would be crap and fail and CRAP).
That entire thing just made me really happy and I'm sorta blushing like a madwoman right now. Just so you know.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-20 06:11 (UTC)Aww~ hehe. Well, I'm glad that made you happy. It's just... true. They're so awesome together, I cannot even describe the awesome they are made of.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-20 06:18 (UTC)Speaking of post-conclusion worlds, I keep meaning to ask -- did you want to have them hit Shadow's world straightaway and then travel around? Because Perion, after their first jump, is going to be all, "lol, ditching the kid in daycare for dimensional travel, brb." She's going to enjoy that a shitton.
I also may be doing a new journal for her since this one switched to another character, but I'll keep you posted on that.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-20 06:22 (UTC)He'd like to go back first, and he's capable enough where he should be able to get them there without any problems, so yeah, going there first is going to have to happen. But obviously if nothing seriously critical is going on there (and nothing will be, or that'd make things too difficult), he'd be more than willing to go explore other places, and it will be awesome.
That's cool. :o
