Guess who you are.

[pauraque_bk]

All my mutual friends. Random order (well, except for the first one). Because I'm bored, that's why.


1. I gacked this meme from you. You write fab Peter fic, occasionally for me! You are pleasant to the touch, and roam the mountains of Central America.

2. You make my fic not suck, and put up with my artistic tantrums and general insanity. I would be lost without you. You also write gorgeously, and deserve to be far more known for it than you are.

3. Everything you draw and sculpt looks magical and makes one want to cuddle it. You also post cute animal photos. Looking at your journal melts my cruel, icy exterior.

4. I dig your loose and sketchy line art, which occasional makes me want to write Sirius/Harry.

5. You draw and write well, though I think I haven't read very much of your fic. I'd be interested to get to know you, but find you a bit intimidating. I'm not sure if you read my journal.

6. You left a phone message for me in a dead language. ♥

7. I can't remember why I friended you, but you post interesting poems and photos that I look at but rarely comment on.

8. Our fannish interests have diverged, but you like Gilbert & Sullivan, and that's always a good thing.

9. You're at a bit of a crossroads in your life, and you're stressing about it, but I know you'll get through. You are a far better writer than you get credit for. We talk all the time. I like you a lot. You hate bicycles.

10. You hardly use your LJ, which is a shame. You are what we would call in fandom a BNF, except you've sort of created your own fandom, haven't you?

11. I've met you in real life. I'm constantly amazed by your knowledge of biology and linguistics, and always read your posts even when I don't comment on them.

12. You recommended some fic of mine, and some fic by friends of mine. I friended back. I don't really know who you are, though I wonder. You are a mysterious reccer to me. I wonder if you're reading this.

13. I friended back because you seemed to post a lot of fic, but I don't think I've gotten around to reading it yet. I don't really know you.

14. You're a real-life friend, though we don't see each other so much anymore. You clearly read my journal regularly, though I wonder what you make of the fandom stuff I post about. I read you, but rarely comment.

15. I friended you because I like your cartoons. I don't know you.

16. You're known as a Peter writer from way back, though you don't post much fannish stuff anymore. We haven't really talked, but I've been reading your entries for quite a while, so I feel like I know you a bit.

17. You're awesome! You organize tons of stuff in fandom, and never get enough credit for it. I read the fic you're best known for when I first got into fandom, and actually didn't like it that much, so I'm glad I didn't know you were the same person when I encountered you on LJ! I do like a lot of your stuff, though, and have recced you.

18. I friended you during the PoA re-read, because we were disagreeing in interesting ways, and I like to have smart people around who disagree with me. It turns out that we disagree on lots of stuff in real life too, again interestingly.

19. You haven't posted in ages, and I don't really know what happened to you, or if you're still around. You are friends with #84, I think.

20. I friended you because I liked your PotC fic, and was trying to edge my way into that fandom. Still edging, still liking.

21. Your fic is great, but you never posted around enough to get noticed. I'm not sure if you're still about. You'll always have a fan in me.

22. I'm not quite sure of your age, but you seem young to me. You also wrote my OTP! Occasionally I get you mixed up with #56.

23. I friended you because you like Crabbe/Goyle. Don't know much else about you yet. You have the same name as #6, and that's a bit confusing.

24. I consider you a good friend. I love you very dearly, and think about you often. I miss the way we used to talk.

25. I like your PotC recs and links, but I don't really know you.

26. When I want to give an example of how great and realistic and disturbing chan fic can be, I mention your name. There are scenes you've written that were so vivid to me that I don't remember the words, I just remember them physically, visually. The *swimming pool* scene...

27. You're a friend of #109, I think. You give good essay and you like grammar. Other than that, dunno.

28. We met in two different places around the same time under different names, and it took us a while to figure out that "person I met here" and "person I met there" were one and the same. Whenever someone mentions Snape being interested in the "Dark Arts", I always think of you and grin.

29. Our love is so polar.

30. I often wish we had more similar tastes in fic so that we could squee over the same stuff. Nonetheless, my love for our conversations is great and t00by. You like to be anonymous, so I try not to weird you out by being too personal, but often I cannot resist, because you are so very cuddly. Not to mention elite.

31. I don't know you very well, but I know enough to respect you for the hard work you do in fandom, and for your maturity and sanity in a disagreement. You write good smut, too.

32. I like your writing, but you've always felt a bit distant to me. You don't post very much anymore. When you do post, you often seem sad.

33. You post adorable pictures of yourself in cute outfits. You seem very chatty and outgoing, someone who has a lot of friends. You're young and likeable.

34. I haven't known you for very long, but I like your fic. Your name is either a season or a pasta.

35. We've chatted before. You post often, and are a very clear presence on my friends list; I always feel like I know what's going on with you. You have a cool job, and are the only person I know on your continent.

36. When we first met, it was to gush about Julius Caesar. You don't post a whole lot, but I like you. I wish we could go see a play sometime.

37. You're cool. You don't post enough, and when you do, I get a bit excited.

38. I've just friended you, and I'm excited to have you on my list. You're a superb writer, and seem to be a nice, thoughtful person. I look forward to getting to know you.

39. I know you from somewhere else. I think you have an amusing name. You don't seem to post on LJ anymore.

40. You've written the most hardcore kink I've ever read, and inspired me to do the best work I've done in this fandom. I thought you might be scary when I first friended you, but you're actually very good-natured. Even when you're writing something that doesn't hit my kink, I often read anyway because there's always something interesting in your work.

41. I admire your art from afar.

42. Your fic is good, but I've been pathetically remiss in feedbacking. You have a tendency to post when tipsy.

43. You changed your name, and that threw me off a bit. But I like your art. My Popple is still gayer than yours.

44. Brilliant character and canon analyst. Post more theories, please!

45. You rec like a mofo! And I think you are yet another reccer whose own fic goes relatively unappreciated. I yearn for more Peter fic from you.

46. Your art is very warm and humanistic. Your Peter is far more adorable than the one in my head, but I like looking at him anyway.

47. You are a multifandom goddess. You post about strange anime series I've never heard of, and various other things.

48. We've met in person, and I remember it very fondly. I wish you lived closer to me. I really want you to be safe and happy in every possible way. You wrote a fic that is one of my top ten favorite stories ever, I think.

49. We know each other from another fandom. I like you. You used to post about your bathroom a lot, but I think that's sorted itself out now.

50. You once said you didn't like that so many people had you friended, so I feel a bit guilty following your journal or bugging you in any way. But your cartoons amuse me endlessly.

51. We've met in person. I like you, though I feel rather inadequate compared to you.

52. You post a lot, but I read all of it. I think you're very smart, and more loving than you'd like people to think.

53. You do cool art. I think we have more in common than you know.

54. I'm embarrassed to admit how much I like your fic, but that's my hang-up. It saddens me a bit that you're working on a long novel, because I don't read fan novels (don't have the time).

55. I don't know quite what to make of you, but I do know I like your art.

56. I used to get you mixed up with #22, but I've got it now. You're young, but seem to know where you're going in life, or at least in school.

57. I like your fic lots. I forgot or never realized that your name comes from HP canon, and when I came across the word while reading one of the books, I was very surprised!

58. Our fannish interests have diverged. I don't know you extraordinarily well, but I like you. You enjoy reality TV, which makes me feel less lame for also enjoying it.

59. I distinctly remember friending you because you were doing a thing where you posted nice stuff about people you knew in fandom. You're good folks.

60. Yours was the first LJ I ever followed, before I even had one myself.

61. You rule. And I've seen you naked. :O

62. I friended you because you were posting a lot of PoA movie analysis stuff. You have an animated icon that I find mesmerizing.

63. You are a fellow fanboy. I associate the phrase "a fellow ____" with you very strongly!

64. I ran across you and liked you, and then you seemed to disappear. Drifted out of the fandom? I hope not.

65. I'd like to know you better, and I hope things improve for you so that you can come back to us. You're very outgoing and popular. If I drew your portrait, I'd use a lot of bright colors.

66. Yours is my favorite femslash ever. You are smashing. Your LJ layout hurts my eyes.

67. There are a lot of illustrators in fandom, but you're an *artist*. And underappreciated.

68. You're very young. You don't post anymore.

69. I'm behind on reading your fic and analysis. Something you started got out of hand and ended up on F_W, and you took it with admirable good humor.

70. I liked hearing about your conlang, and wish you would carry on posting about it.

71. You are related to someone on this list.

72. WHERE ARE YOU? PLEASE COME BACK! EDIT: If I'd known that was all I had to do to get you back, I'd have done it a long time ago...

73. I have a crush on you. You are dirty and wicked and elegant, and I recently discovered you're cute as well. You should really IM me sometime, you know that?

74. I've left your fandom, but I still consider you a friend -- one of my first fandom friends. I often think of your advice when I write. I always enjoy your photos, even when I don't comment.

75. You are the perpetrator of the "not greasy, just very soft" trope. Yet, I forgive you. I wish you would come back to us.

76. You're the author of the only Snape/Hermione fic I ever liked.

77. You have a sexy voice. And oh dear, you write sexy fic as well. *has mad fantasies of read-aloud phone posts...*

78. You give gooooood feedback. You are far too kind to me and my weird fic.

79. I want to know you better. I feel for your situation. I hope you're having more good days than bad.

80. You're the funniest person on my flist, by far. You enjoy sharks and zombies. I still giggle to myself about the soup in the locker.

81. You are quite possibly my favorite writer ever. No one else writes like you. I am a helpless fanboy fainting at your feet. Yet, I think you don't know who I am, which is probably because I'm too intimidated by your genius to, uh... talk to you. (omg call me plz!!)

82. I don't know how I came to friend you, but your posts are always intelligent and interesting. Political, often.

83. I love and respect you greatly. You like movies and baseball, and stand up for what you believe. I see you as quintessentially American, and yes, I mean that in a nice way.

84. You love meta to a degree that sometimes leaves me scratching my head. I like you, though.

85. Your icons are scary. Your husband's icon is scary as well!

86. You will always own a piece of my heart for your tireless promotion of ugly!Snape.

87. You hardly ever post, but when you do, the whole fandom shows up.

88. I can't remember why I friended you, but you seem nice. You fangirl Sirius.

89. Love love love. I think we have similar writing toolboxes, as it were, you just use the tools better than I do. I was *stunned* when I found out you weren't a native speaker. I would never, ever have known.

90. Your fic incorporates a lot of elements that I would normally say I don't like, yet I've read massive amounts of it. I think you've proven that it's not what's in a fic, but what you do with it. You're like the cool aunt I never had.

91. Your writing is incredible. I routinely become incoherent when trying to feedback you. You're also one of those funny two-journal people.

92. I have expressed my love for you in a very public, tangible, and painstaking way. To go further, I think I'd have to build a physical shrine to you in my house. I think our writing styles are not dissimilar, but your stuff is better, and I wish I could read all of it. I once had a dream about you, and you looked just like your default icon. Every good thing you get in life is deserved. You are very sexy.

93. Hello again. I'm glad to be able to renew my friendship with you.

94. I don't know you very well, but we've suffered similar losses, so I feel oddly close to you because of that. I hope you're doing well.

95. People have mistaken your writing for mine, and vice versa. I consider this a tremendous compliment to me. You should write more in my fandom.

96. You do your thing with glee and no shame, and your attitude is contagious. You make me feel good about myself.

97. I get excited when I see you've posted new original art. I think you have great talent, and I don't comment enough. I worry about you sometimes.

98. I really don't know who you are at all, but your posts are interesting.

99. I read your fic a long time before I met you on LJ, and when I did meet you, I think I fanboyed you embarrassingly. Your Dudley is one of the great unsung accomplishments of this fandom.

100. Yours was the first Krycek/Marita fic I read, and could be fairly said to have inspired me to write the pairing.

101. You're very smart, and I've talked for hours with you about canon. You hang out with #6.

102. I hope you come back soon with much more conlang stuff to share.

103. You understand the Otto love. We live very close to each other. We should chat sometime.

104. I friended you simply because you had an awesome layout, and I'm glad I did, because yours is now one of my favorite non-fandom LJs to read.

105. You are sweet and kind. Your real name is very pretty. I often wonder how to pronounce your online name.

106. ...who the heck are you? I guess you friended and I friended back because you had fannish content, but then you didn't post often enough for me to get to know you.

107. I don't know where you came from, but you're one of two people who has written RPS I enjoyed. (#91 is the other.)

108. I knew you vaguely somewhere else, and now you seem to be getting into fandom. I think that's cool.

109. We just can't seem to stay away from each other, can we? Mysterious forces are at work. We don't always like each other, but I think we love each other. Why are we never in the same fandom, dammit! *shakes fist*

110. Your drawings are beautiful. I sometimes say your name to myself when I see you around, just because it's lovely and feels good to say.


I'll confirm correct guesses. Later on, I'll post the full list of answers.

Comments

[tekalynn.livejournal.com]

Deleted first post because I reconsidered and am going to guess 99. You said the D-word. : )

[pauraque]

You are correct, my dear. :)

[noblerot.livejournal.com]

103. You understand the Otto love. We live very close to each other. We should chat sometime.

OMG TEH OTTO LOFF. So many arms, so little time. If this isn't me, I want to meet whomever it is.

[pauraque]

It is you.

So many arms, so little time.

I think this is my new motto. *glee*

[wootsauce.livejournal.com]

! I'm on here!? I have no idea who I am! I am having a lot of fun reading the list and considering, but I don't think we know eachother well enough (well...much at all, really!) for me to really be able to tell. *is entertained*

[pauraque]

Yes, you're on here. :)

[glitterdemon.livejournal.com]

This is incredibly thoughtful. I have a guess, but these things always make me want to blush and hide before ever venturing one, so I'll just wait for the list of answers. ;)

[pauraque]

It is a bit scary to guess, because one doesn't want to guess that one is "I like you and you're cool!" only to be woefully wrong. Though I think any guess you make is probably pretty safe. :)

[scarah2.livejournal.com]

I think I might be 15. I hope I'm not 106. I aspire to one day be 101.

[pauraque]

Your first guess is correct. And hey, if you want to be #101-ish, my AIM handle's in my profile, ping me sometime. (Hanging out with #6 is something I don't know if I can help with, though...)

[tarnationawaits.livejournal.com]

I can only cringe and assume I'm one of the "you went away and never post anymore" numbers, though which I can't be sure.

I'm seriously trying to make a comeback! (It's an internet issue at this point.)

<3

[pauraque]

Yeah, you're one of 'em. :)

[partitioning.livejournal.com]

34. I haven't known you for very long, but I like your fic. Your name is either a season or a pasta.

...Or a painting (http://www.mystudios.com/treasure/botticelli/primavera-review.html). :)

It makes me really happy to know that you like my fic.

[pauraque]

That one was too easy!

[nakedcelt.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing 61, if you meant this here icon. Otherwise, no idea.

[pauraque]

Good guess, but no. Though you are cool, and it's true, I have seen you naked. :)

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

I have no idea.

[pauraque]

You wouldn't, would you? I think the description I gave of you, though it's true, is not something you'd associate with yourself.

[exbentley]

I have a suspicion I'm either 22 or 56, but apart form that I've no idea.

[pauraque]

Nope and nope. You've never written Peter/Ron, have you? Or have you? *boggles at his possible obliviousness*

[dragonelle-fics.livejournal.com]

I hope I'm not #106, but goodness knows I could be. Otherwise I guess I'd be one of those people who doesn't post very often... or #88, since I do run my mouth about Sirius when I do post, LOL! I've been in a fandom lull lately, so my journal hasn't seen much action in the past month or two. I friends-listed you because I kept following links to your fiction and essays and really enjoying them, so it only made sense to add you directly instead of following links all the time!

To be honest, I was surprised that you added me back...!

[pauraque]

You are #88. :)

I tend to add people back if they have a high percentage of fannish content that might be of interest, which was the case with you.

[dancing-moon.livejournal.com]

I have absolutely no idea who I am - but I think I've guessed some other people ^^;

[pauraque]

That tends to happen with this meme. We can identify others far better than ourselves!

[pitchblackrose.livejournal.com]

Tut, tut, tut - you shouldn't have said that you intend to post an "answer sheet" - now not nearly as many people will embarrass themselves by wrong guesses! :)

12?

[pauraque]

Nope, I know who you are more than I know #12.

And you're probably right that fewer people will guess this way. But chresimos would have gotten very stern if I'd implied that I wasn't going to tell. :)

[ptyx.livejournal.com]

If I am 105, thank you! "ptyx" is a non-word, so you can pronounce it as you like it. Some say it comes from the Ancient Greek "ptux", but how can we know? I myself pronounce it "pteecks" or, Brazilian-Southeast style, "ptcheeks". Or something in the middle. ^_^

[ptyx.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I don't think you know my real name, so perhaps I'm not 105.

[k2daisy.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't wait to see the full list, because a lot of these people sound awesome and I want to meet them.

Guesses for me: 52 mostly because of the reality Tv thing, but I'd love to be 58, 59 or 74.

I have a very strong feeling Spica is #89, and possibly Bardsmaid is the real #74.

Cool meme!

[pauraque]

You are #58. You're a good guesser, too. :)

[gmth.livejournal.com]

Oh, hmm... I think I might be 31 because of that discussion we had in wikdsushi's LJ that one time (and if that's the case it's really weird because I was just thinking about that again yesterday).

Or I might be 40, though I can think of several writers who write more hardcore kink than I do but I've also been told over and over again via this meme that I come off as very intimidating before people get to know me. It's it's become sort of a knee-jerk reaction to ask if the one reading "I was scared of you at first" is me or not. :-)

[pauraque]

Yep, you're #31. I was just thinking about it a couple of days ago, too. Spooky.

I don't think I ever found you intimidating... perhaps mildly at first, but then you told me about the "Gee, Malfoy, that hurt!" thing, and I saw that you were clearly nice. :)

[mimine.livejournal.com]

No doubt about it, I'm 94. The timing of what happened was a bit creepy, I think the two deaths were no more than 2 weeks apart. I do feel oddly close to you because of it but also understand the need not to talk about it much. I'm doing well most of the time. I wonder about you sometimes but I'm guessing that you're coping well. I love reading your posts, even the ones I don't really understand and I love having you in the fandom. :-)

And I've really missed Snapesupport chats :-(. I strongly associate you with them even though I think I've only seen you in one of them.

[pauraque]

You got it. I haven't posted about personal stuff very much because I'm sort of using fandom as an escape.

Hm, what are these posts of mine that you don't understand?

[vikingcarrot.livejournal.com]

I wonder if I'm 55.

[pauraque]

Got it.

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're much better at this than me, I'm dying to see who some of the others are! And you managed them all in one go too - brave soul! Thank you for making mine easy *grin*

[pauraque]

I don't have as many to do as you, though! And here I was thinking yours were far better than mine. :D

[gaeta.livejournal.com]

I might have guessed #27, but I have no idea who #109 is, so I'll go with something more vague like #98 -- though my secret dream is to be #44.

[pauraque]

You're mutual friends with #109, and you are indeed #27. Grammar posts ahoy!

[lolaraincoat.livejournal.com]

#66 could not possibly be me, except that you've complained (reasonably) about my lj layout before ...

::blows you a kiss from afar::

[pauraque]

Haha, yep. *catches kiss, treasures it*

[ellen-fremedon.livejournal.com]

I'm 6.

(And a lot of the time, I act like it, too *g.*)

[pauraque]

Hee!

[lycoris.livejournal.com]

Oh dear God. Er ... well, I suppose I could be ... er ... 22? I could be 22. Apparently I don't quite come across as my age ... I'm not 32 am I? (I hope I'm not!) I could be 54 at a stretch but it seems unlikely as I've ALWAYS worked on fandom novels. I'd like to be 90 or 96 but I think it's unlikely. Er ... are any of these even remotely close? *hopes*

[pauraque]

You are #22... I hope you didn't take it as an insult that you seem young. Not a kid, just young, like my age.

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

The problem with this meme is that I tend to skip descriptions including any superlatives, thinking that can hardly be me. But really, seeing as you friended me after I posted an essay and you tend to comment on my theories a lot and nothing else seems to apply... 44?

[pauraque]

You are #44, superlative and all.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_hannelore/]

I wonder, timidly, if I'm #79, but then I feel sheepish about guessing that. Ah, well.

[pauraque]

Oh, good guess. I didn't think you'd get it because it's so vague. *hugs*
