"Even if writing makes you feel more alive, you still need a motivation to do it. You can write for money, or write to do battle, or write for love, but it isn't enough to want to write for the pure sake of writing. Maybe you could awaken your enthusiasm by trying to write the Forbidden. There is a dutiful little pupil inside each of us, faithfully striving to please Teacher, and perhaps this is stifling you. Perhaps you could try to write dangerously and extravagantly, something erotic or violent, something uncharacteristic of you, just to see what it's like. But you shouldn't agonize over writing. If it doesn't come, put it aside. Writing is not a career that needs to be practiced steadily. Some people start late. There's no point in starting before your time." -- Garrison Keillor

First, this is an ADULT explict (at times) journal. Fics posted here, by myself, and hopefully, in time, by others, will be adult-content, particularly of the slash variety. So, if you're interested in viewing this journal, send me your age confirmation, proof that you're over eighteen, and I'll add you as a friend. I'm sorry, but them's the rules... So, onto other things! Oh so, terribly new to this world of live journaling, so bear with me. I got into this because of my interest in fanfics and photomanips. Looking for others with like interests led me here! My main areas of interest, right now, are slash fics/photo manips, of Stargate SG-1/Atlantis, BtVS/AtS and Torchwood/Dr.Who. Mainly, I focus on SG-1, with occasional forays into the Whedonverse. New to writing, though, I'm always interested in finding others I might explore working in tandem with. I'd love to find someone who's of like mind, who could offer input on story arcs, etc. If you're out there, drop me a line! Other than that, I was a theatre major, with my expertise being costuming and theatrical makeup. So, I love Renaissance Faires and have made some fairly elaborate outfits, both for fun and profit. If you're in the market for custom work, I'll send you photos. Or, maybe I'll get around to posting some here... My last outfits sold in the ballpark of $600 each, so you can imagine. Other than that, I was diagnosed with a supposedly "terminal" illness, some nine years ago, but I'm still here! So, although I'm on disability, I try to find things to entertain myself with. After a few years, I got bored with just watching movies on TV all the time, *grin*! Over time, I'm hoping this will grow into a site where others post, in addition to my fics and manips. We'll see... Don't know what else to tell you... I'm sure I'll rewrite this soon, but I didn't want to leave a blank space, LOL! Peace! RippersPet P.S. If you should see an icon or photo that you claim, please, let me know... I pick them up, here and there, and they usually don't have credit lines on them. But, if it's yours and you don't want it here, let me know.
