A Shy Hello...

[amaranth-moon.livejournal.com]

 After having been lurking around for a while (mostly in bau_fic) and secretly indulging in my guilty pleasure of reading fanfic I felt like it was time to come out of lurkdom (anonymously still, though...) and voice my love for CM :o) I also intend to have a shot or two at writing fic myself, should inspiration care to strike.

A quick word of warning - I'm not yet that familiar with LJ so please forgive me for stupid newbie fauxpas which I will certainly make.

Some words about me:
Name: The Alter Ego, at least for the time being ;o)
Age: 28 (and still none the wiser)
Location: Switzerland (ghastly, no Season 3 yet - but I'm still catching up on 2 anyway)
Favorite Shows: CM (who'd have guessed *g*), Bones, Remington Steele
Favourite Guys: Hotch, Booth, and Mr. Steele (yeah, I keep falling for the same types over and over again)

And then there's one question which really keeps me wondering: How come that Hotch/Reid are like the most prominent fic pairing? Assuming that there's rather more girls than guys writing here - it kind of feels like self deprivation to me ;o) I'm really nosey to find out what's behind this!

Cheers 2 all
The Alter Ego

To me it was kind of funny to realise the amount of slash out there - but mainly because I'd never thought of it :-) surprisingly enough for me I couldn't say I don't like it, although I'd probably not be the one to come up with it by myself.

As for the "self deprivation" (perhaps not the best choice of words, but I hadn't any better idea *g*): I wasn't thinking of any "Mary Sue" (never heard this term but it's quite descriptive *g*), but rather of some kind of feeling or whatever it is - nothing quite tangible - that I seem to prefer to think of hot men involved in het pairings, it kind of leaves more room for the own fantasies created by the stories (no fantasies to be put in writing though ;o) ) than slash - cause the one thing a woman can't compete with is not another woman but obviously a man ;o)

Well, it's always nice to detect something new and good out there, so I didn't mean to affront someone, it's really just pure nosey-ness :-)
