BioI used to be ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
maybedarkpink. I'm returning to lj/fandom/fanfic after a long absence, and I wanted to give myself a somewhat fresh start, so here I am, new journal and all. I'm not deleting the old one because my ego is still big enough that I believe there are people out there who want to read my old fic and random musing, look at the icons I've made, etc. As for the name, well, it tells who I used to be, without really saying who I am now, which is a question that I'm struggling with everyday.
In 2006, my life changed dramatically. My dad died; my house got flooded; I "took a break" from college. Right now I'm working as a cashier and thinking about returning part time to school in the fall, depending on how things go. I'm trying to get my life back together one step at a time, and while I think I'm doing pretty well in general, I realized something big was missing from the equation--- fandom.
Through previous hard times in my life, fandom was what kept me together, it was what pulled me through. The characters, the creativity, the chance to share my passion and my writing with people who understood me and liked me not based on my looks or shared circumstances but based upon my (and this sounds ridiculously cheesy) innermost depths... I missed it. I missed fandom. So here I am.
I can't promise that I'm going to have oodles of time to devote to this, but I'm hoping I will. As my mom said to me the other day, "What else are you doing?"
I'm pulling my life back together, and I've reached the realization that a life without fandom is, for me at least, hardly a life at all.
I don't know what fandoms I'll be writing in. Definitely my old standbys of Buffy and Angel at least, and whatever else inspires me, whatever else effects me. My writing has never been for everyone, although lots of people do (did?) seem to like it. I tend to write about unconventional pairings, dark thoughts, slash, femslash, incest... My fic has been described as variations of "beautiful... but fucked up," and I don't imagine it will be any different now, since I am, if anything, more dark and disturbed than I was before. I still have a sense of humor, however, and there will hopefully be laughter alongside the tears and the squick. If that sounds up your alley and if you like what you read here, or remember me from my previous incarnation, feel free to friend me. If I think we have common interests and I like your journal, I'll friend you back, but if I don't, please don't hate me.
I think that's about it. I feel like I've been babbling. I'm so out of practice here.
