Crush Meme! Oh dear...

Okay, so I was dared...
ANON CRUSH MEME

See... someone once told me that there are people who had fandom crushes on me.  Or hell, just crushes in general.  I didn't believe it.  Then someone else said so.  I thought that was nuts.  I couldn't fathom why.  So now... I've gotta know.  C'mon, folks - make me feel less silly about doing this.

You should enable anonymous posting if you want people to share...

Ah I see, it's a funny-colored link. Then maybe you should disable comments here, to avoid drama and lols. :)

I thought it was obvious... you follow the link to the meme post. Anonymous posting is enabled there. Did the link not work? *puzzles*

ETA: Aaaah... okay, I changed the link color. The original code from the meme came with a color already embedded.

Should I disable comments here? Not really sure if that's necessary. I could use some LOLz.

But, they're drama and LOLs. Why would you want to avoid that?

I like LOLz. :D

Also, what's "fandom crushes", hobbit? Is it different from regular crushes?

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Fandom crushes... kinda like fangirling, only more so. For example, say Mary Sue writes an amazing fanfiction. I read the fanfiction, then read Mary Sue's LJ. I find that I develop a crush on Mary Sue through her fandom awesomeness. Really, it's just a crush, only through fandom activities.

::sneaks handful of popcorn:: Oooh, are we having drama and LOLs? I wanna watch too!

I don't participate in crush memes because I'm too afraid nobody will comment. Same goes for the love memes.

Insecure Primrose is insecure.

No, "fandom crushes" is not at all obvious in meaning (as separate and perhaps less drama-inducing than regular crushes), and the link isn't obvious because it recolors in Firefox and does away with the underline.

But it's your journal. I'm not crushing on you and not into fandom, so I'm obviously not the target audience.

For example: simple midwestern girl stumbles upon a fic by Mijan that she likes, so she goes out in search of more. Reads the rest of Mijan's fics. Finds Mijan's LJ, friends her and reads all of her posts. ALL of them, going back several years. Get's giddy and nervous when commenting on Mijan's journal or anyplace where Mijan might read her comments. Makes an attempt to be awesome and help Mijan come up with songs to go with certain Harry Potter fanfictions. Attributes someone else's fic to one of Mijan's alternate pen names. Simple midwestern girl dies a horrible humiliating death in the comfort of her own computer chair and promptly defriends Mijan (who never actually friended her back in the first place) to avoid facing said humiliation on a daily basis.

Three years later, they get married. Most fandom crushes do not progress to this level of crazy cakes.

That... is quite possibly the most awesome courtship story EVER.

That needs to be a novel, or something. That is just... okay, you just made my day. I'm all smiley now.

*bribes with chocolate chip cookies*

I want in! Scootsies oversies?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Most fandom crushes do not progress to this level of crazy cakes.
That's sad. Everyone should get to have cakes.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

All right, but this couch is getting crowded, and anybody else is gonna have to sit on my lap. *grin*

[mintcloud.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

I don't know you, but I love you!

[mintcloud.livejournal.com]

And I am supposed to object to this... why? ;)

[fiona-fawkes.livejournal.com]

No, no. This is good. Imagine the horror of the universe if one of Mijan's other fandom crushes had gotten the cake before me. That would have not been on.

[fiona-fawkes.livejournal.com]

:D

There was a bit about crossing paths in Vegas and going to hot tub parties and not finding her, but we'l save that for another day.

I cannot ever get over your epic fandom romance. It kills me every time. ♥

[fiona-fawkes.livejournal.com]

Wait, are we having a fandom orgie in Mijan's LJ while she's at the gym? Sweet!

[fiona-fawkes.livejournal.com]

I don't know about epic. Hardly anyone knew about it for quite a while. For the longest time, I kept it between me and my three closest fandom bffs. I still have the chat logs somewhere.

Also, we gets a lizard next year and that makes me smile. :D

[mintcloud.livejournal.com]

Why, yes, I do believe we are.

You have to tell me what her face looks like when she finds out, that will be epic!

[cedarrapidsgirl.livejournal.com]

I don't know what's going on, (as usual) but I'll join! Hi! I have been, and probably will be AWOL off an on, hubby's getting laid off effective Friday, so he'll be home more. Woot! Can you tell I'ma excited!

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Chagrined!Mijan was chagrined.

*sits on featherynscale's lap*

It was definitely a unique courtship. And there's more to it. But that was the shorthand version. :p
