Introduce Yourselves, Pretty Please?

[rivkat]

I realize that I don't know as many of you all as I thought I did. Someday, perhaps after I grade my exams, I will read everybody's LJ, but for now I'd really love to get to know you better -- in a way that requires less effort on my part. So, how's about it? Also, should I review more books or fewer? What about music and movies? I'm unbudgeable on the fic, so those of you who aren't here for that are just going to have to skip it.

ETA: Specific questions about you:

What do you like to talk about?

I'm guessing we're mostly media fans, so what are your fandoms?

Would Superman take Batman, or would Batman beat Superman? (I have a very strong opinion on the latter.)

I'm butterfly, also known as Diana Michelle. I have a website (http://dianamichelle.5u.com), that I constantly wish had more on it.

I enjoy talking about all kinds of things, though on lj, it's mostly slashly stuff. I also have a tendency to talk about my Horrible Past Depression, though I'm generally a good sport about it and lj-cut it away from people who don't want to get pulled down by my sadness.

As you might have guess from that last bit, I'm can be a drama queen at times, particularly when I'm hopped up on hot chocolate late at night. Like now, for instance. This would be a very different post if I were typing in broad daylight and without the sugar rush.

The fandoms that I've actually written in number four (I originally typed in three, because I'd forgotten that I'd written a Smallville vignette). Well, four that I'm willing to talk about. They're all extremely different, though three are slash... okay, the Smallville wasn't really slash, though I had intended for it to be. I'm a huge Buffy/Xander 'shipper, which is just pathetic, as I've carried that torch for six years now. I adore Justin/Lance (*nsync), which is just dreadful because of all the members of *nsync, they really get the least amount of subtext. It's a thrill if they appear to be friends. Although, that really seems similar to my B/X sitch, now that I think about it. I've also written a short slash fic in the Andromeda universe.

For reading, I tend to focus on Smallville (Clark/Lex) and due South (Fraser/RayK). I'm incredibly devoted to my OTPs. Despite that, I've probably read something in most fandoms out there, simply out of curiousity and the need for something new. I just don't get attached to most fandoms.

As for Superman vs. Batman, I suppose it would depend on the circumstances. Has one of them gone evil? Is it a simple game? Without parameters, I simply couldn't venture a guess. Though that might have to do with not having read any of the comics.

Mmm, hot chocolate. I have this ridiculously expensive and amazingly good hot chocolate from Marie-Belle. It's so good, even when we make it at home, that I'm considering getting an espresso machine just to froth it so there are no leftover chunks of chocolate at the bottom of the cup when I'm done.

I read Fraser/RayK on occasion, mostly because of Speranza. At this point, I'm trying not to add fandoms, though I'll occasionally look at things others recommend highly.

Batman/Superman: I was thinking a serious conflict, caused by each thinking the other is Wrong and he himself is Right. Kind of a Dark Knight thing. And the only Superman comic I've read in years is Kingdom Come, which is AU anyhow. I read Batman more sporadically.
