3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.

1. Tell you why I friended you.
Gosh, you know it's so long ago, I can't remember! Something to do with you being all intelligent in discussions at torch_wood, I think. And then discovering your fic.

2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
That icon you just used, because it's so bright and cheerful. And Buffy.

3. Tell you something I like about you.
You're clever and funny and friendly and really, really likeable.

4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
You betaing my first fic and being so incredibly supportive. So much so that I keep on coming back for more... *g*

5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
I'm not very good at thinking of questions. Ooh, I know. What's the first story you ever wrote?

6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
The one of Giles in a sombrero. That is such a classic Buffy moment.

1. It's weird isn't - I know I'm going to have trouble with that one when I repost it...

3. Awwww...bless you

4. Anytime :)

5. Oh gosh...*thinks* I used to mainline Man from UNCLE fic, but I don't think I ever wrote any. I started a horrific X-men piece that lives a shamefaced existence on my ff.net account, but I think the first thing I finished was "The Last Waltz", a Gambit/Psylocke (sort of) X-men piece that I revised recently for Becky's 'Guilty pleasures' challenge. It was reasonably readable, considering...

5. Ah, I didn't read that 'cos I don't really know X-men, but I remember you talking about it. How long ago was it that you originally wrote it?

I had to go and look this up, because I honestly had no idea.

End of 2004, while I was on my gap year after University. So that's what? 3 1/2 years ago? Huh. Seems longer :)

Gosh, so you really are quite new to writing! *g*

Hee. Yes and no. I'd read tonnes of fanfic by the time I started, which I like to think of as an education and preparation - it certainly meant I knew what badfic read like. And I'm a quick learner. And I had fantastic help from people in the House fandom when I really got going.

But I'd been making up stories for my favourite TV programmes and books for as long as I can remember, so it wasn't that big a leap. :D
