Heh. I mean it's so designed to a) elicit confessions of "sins" and b) stir drama by making people be offended by what other people don't care about (do you vote for good writing or politics?). I actually really may wind up writing about fanfiction and how I don't engage in online debates on its worth as a category of thing because I just find it dreary, even though I will pontificate about it whenever I'm given the chance on panels. It's just gross on the Internet. But there's been a recent kerfluffle about it, and considering I'm a fan writer and a pro writer and also the writer of unauthorized tie-in material for money, I really should give more of a shit than I do.
Mostly though I'm waiting for Kali to send me Jack/Rose/Nine porn so we can get that done (the CERN piece is just hanging out waiting for it).
I'm thinking about writing about my so-called "lack of self-preservation skills" with regard to other people and the way I express myself. I'm terrible at style shifting, and sort of expect people to deal with the way I express myself (let's just put all of that earnestness and wit and subversion in a blender, shall we?) rather than conforming to appropriate norms. If nothing else, it's an excuse to talk about why I love(d) David Foster Wallace.
(Oh, and I've almost got #23 done. I'm so confused.)

Also, do you hate the new LJ Idol topic as much as I do?
