An open letter to fandom.
Hello people,
You may remember me. I used to be a reasonably big name fan in the HP fandom. I wrote what some think is the only story by Starkiller in that fandom: The Boat of a Million Years Trilogy. Sure, it might be one of the better things I've written, but I've written other stuff, yanno? What about "Day of the Dead"? What about "Apotheosis"? What about "Even Minions of the Dark Lord Get Lonely"? What about the plethora of other fics? What about...oh, never mind.
See, back in the heady days of late 2001 and early 2002, I used to get fangirled. A lot. Mmm-hmm. My email inbox would runneth over. Sure, I was never as big as Rhysenn or Cassie Claire, but you gotta start somewhere, right?
Back in those days, the Malfoy Manor chat room on mIRC was THE place to be. It was cool. We were cool. I can't remember how many social engagements I ignored for the preference of staying home and chatting on mIRC. MM was a writers group as well as a cool place to hang out. Everyone was cool with each other.
Eventually, that died off. Shit happened. Old news now. But hey, I was still getting fangirled, and that's all good right?
WRONG.
I have, for all intents and purposes, left the HP fandom. Oh sure, I'll still write the occaisional piece if the muse takes me, and archive the HP fics posted on my list, b.c, well, they rock, frankly. But as far as HP fandom and fandom bs goes - I am SO outta there.
I don't get fangirled anymore, and that's cool. No, really, it is. This isn't some desperate plea from an old HP has-been for fangirls. No no. See, I've got a new goal now.
My new goal is one I'm very excited about. My goal is to revolutionise the pairing of Haldir/Faramir in LOTR slash. See, that's a rare pairing. I want more of it. Because I am a demanding bitch, and an ambitious one at that, I feel it is imperative to make this fine pairing more acceptable and less rare.
So I will be the new big name in Faramir/Haldir porn. That's my goal. I'm excited about it, and I know you will be too.
Regards,
Starkiller's Ego.
