Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies.

Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies.

So I've been told that I'm secretive and mysterious - which fair enough. *grin* I'll admit it's intentional in part. Before coming to hang out on IF I was an administrator on a board that had a group of people that really HATED it. And were using any information available to make people's lives hell, both on and offline. 

One friend of mine of that board left some of her personal information a little too visible on Facebook - back in the olden days when you could only join if you were a student - and ended up getting harassed over the phone by some dude multiple states away. And then there was the married dude who tried to chat me up - as a "friend" - wanted to come visit me, and then after very narrowly declining his request, found out that he was divorcing his wife and there was some question of getting brought up on charges for statutory rape. 

Which is to say those kind of things have made me understandably cagey with personal information. 

But I have no problem with the Crew's curiosity. Mainly my information hiding ways are a result of leftover bad experiences and starting out in online communities as an underage user - the less I said about myself and my age, the better. 

However, I'm offering now, ask me anything you want...and I'll answer. Fulfill your curiosity.

Starting out as an underage user of online communities makes you sound very young. I am not going to ask your age. That's just a comment. And I don't think there is anything wrong with being secretive and mysterious online. But then again maybe I am just super-private myself and a poor judge of such things.

So, you'll answer questions, but will you tell the truth? :)

I am young. Though I meant underage in the legal responsibility sense rather than the "not able to register on a board" sense. And for the record, I've been posting on online communities for nearly a decade now.

And if that's your question, then yeah, I'll tell you the truth. I figure it's counter productive to offer without telling the truth lol. That title supposed to have a strikethrough on the no. Oops.

Questions

I don't care if you seem to be secretive or mysterious. I assumed you had your reasons for it; now I know that is true. The Swede is very anonymous that way, too. She has her own reasons for not sharing information online and I respect that. So, as far as I am concerned, you are in Witness Protection, and I am good with that. But thank you for offering to share. Very cute of you, youngling.

I will offer a question, though: if you were on a deserted island and could only take one Rysler fic, which one? BWAHAHAHAHA!!! You put it out there, my friend. Now, pay up!

Heee. Thank you for understanding. :D Are you a Star Wars fan?

My first response to your question was a rude, two word phrase that I almost went with since [livejournal.com profile] rysler thinks it's cute when I swear. But alas. :D

My answer? "Difficult Hour" or "Nor A Roof", though "From State Prison, To Purgatory, Illinois" holds a special place in my cold black heart.

Stars Wars Fan, Star Trek fan, Battlestar re-boot fan, Farscape fan...I'm a fan of well-done sci-fi.

And that answer is such a cop-out...

Oooh, awesome. The youngling thing made me thing Yoda. :D Also insert "OMG, how freaking awesome was Farscape?" rant here.

Hey! I narrowed it down! Do you know how hard it is? And really I think those first two I named should count as one. I mean, they're a continuation!

I miss Farscape, even after all this time. **sigh** I join your rant.

For some reason, with a couple of exceptions (most notably, Women) I think of all of Rysler's Otalia as being continuations. I suppose I could give you Difficult and Roof being 'one'. But only because I'm feeling magnanimous ;)

John and Aeryn were so great. Proof to every show out there that getting your romantic leads together doesn't ruin everything. ::sniffle::

And "Hiding Places" is a little difficult to fit in but yeah. I know what you mean. :) And thank you for the magnanimousness.

Don't feel you have to limit yourself to just one question, since apparently I have problems with the concept anyway. I'll risk it.

The thing is, while I am naturally curious about people, I don't have to know the answer. Plus, I like the idea of you in Witness Protection. That's the writer in me, always making up my own story, lol!

Heee. I think you're just hoping I can introduce you to my hot Marshall protector who strongly resembles Mary McCormack. :D

Yes, well, there is that...except, you know, the Swede, and all. But I could look and worship from afar!

It totally is. :D

my cold black heart.

That also made me laugh.

Um, questions... hm. [livejournal.com profile] chylybyn's stuff is great because it took me like, literally years to ask you how old you were.

Do you have a secret crush?!

Just kidding.

If there is one fandom you have not dragged me into but want me to be in, what would it be?

Not buying that one huh? ::grins::

Do you have a secret crush?!

Heee. Well, I diiiiiid. Just last week. But I don't think it's so secret anymore. :D

As for more fandoms, you're already in Otalia so... I'm already sorta dragging you towards the Hollows. Heh. I can't really think of one right now. Otalia has obliterated all others for me for the moment. Though I do love your FGT fics. :D But that's not really what you were asking.

You can stay mysterious...I don't give a frak...as long as you keep writing fab fic, I am yours forever!
PS: FARSCAPE will be missed forever. I just found the entire series at a Borders which was liquidating all inventory. How happy am I?
