Confessions 101

I started this topic because I just felt like it'll give the members a chance to know others better. I only request one thing in this topic--that you post things that is/are:
a)something about you nobody in the forum knows,
b)something serious. Nothing like, "I like noodles," or anything insignificant--it's a no-joke topic. Just a plain, "Get to know you" topic, and/or
c)something you're dying to spill--a secret or obsession.

I started this because frankly I'm in a bad mood today, and I just want to confess that I haven't finished writing any fan fiction I've written, and it pisses me off so much that I can't. I can't say enough how much it frustrates me that I haven't. What happens is I start a story, go along with it for a while, and then, when the euphoria that comes with a new story dies down, I tend to lean away and start another one, and then the cycle repeats from there. I just wanted to ask if anyone could help me. I know, it sounds ridiculous, but please. Please.

Ugh, I know! I only ever finished one story (and it's few sequels) but it was my first fanfiction and it was so crappy that when I got a little more skilled I was like "... eh!" Then the sixth book coming out killed my plot.

Sigh.

So yeah - anyone willing to help dear ol' Mich, help me to?

I know how you feel. It's so damn hard to finish... I would help you guys, but I don't know what you want me to help with. -.-'

My confession... Well, this is somethign I've only told my closest friends, and even then, I only told them the half-truth... I need to tell someone!

When I was little, around five, I had this friend. Her name was Taylor, and we were really close. We used to have sleepovers all the time. Anyway, Taylor and I... Well, we were young. Really young. And we experimented... Alot. It wasn't oral sex or anything like that, it was just kissing, and maybe a tiny bit of touching. Eventually I moved away, and I haven't seen her since.

The half-truth I told my friends was that, yes, I had a friend called Taylor, and yes, she kissed me, but I also lied and said I pushed her away.

...Well, that's my big bad secret.

Mike, I feel your pain brother! I have never finished a fic, unless it was a oneshot! I feel so bad about it because my readers must hate me for it! Oh, well.

Blood that is a very secret secret- I have some secrets, but sort of forgot my deepest ones, so that shows you how deep they really are!

I um, don't really have any secrets but I do feel Mike and AJ's pain. I have what I call a "finishing issue", but I think it could be called commitment issues too, I start out a project/fanfiction/relationship and am really really into for a while (sometimes a day sometimes a month sometimes a few months) but then my passion for it sort of dies or find an excuse not to do it anymore. The way I've found to get around is this, get accountablity, I never would've finished one painting but thanks to my art teacher (shari rocks) I'm almost up to 10, I never would've got through the L.D. if it weren't for my mom (and a few reviewers and friends) puching me to finish, I also will confess that anytime I get almost seriously in like with some one I kind of like freak out and push them away and stop talking to him for a while or he does something dumb (*sigh* boys) and I have an excuse to push him away (lost myself a Christmas present this way this year, stopped talking to him three weeks before Christmas, he deserved it, and got nothing), I even do it with foods (i was like in love with yogurt for a bit and ate like 1200 a day, and now I can barely stand the feeling of it in my mouth!). So I guess, even though everyone who know's me knows this about me, it's my confession.

Well...out of the (*checks date*) 9 or 10 years I have been writing fanfiction, I did finish most of the stories I've started but there were a few that...just needed to be stopped.

One of them was rather creepy. Before I started writing HP fanfics, I used to write fanfics about celebs, and one of the fanfics was called "Possessed." Easy to see, from the title, that it was a horror fic. So...I was happily writing away, Prologue, Chapter 1, etc. and I killed off some of the characters as I went along.

I think I was killing off at least one character per chapter or something like that. Until....I reached Chapter 13. I typed around half of the chapter. The next day, when I wanted to continue writing, it disappeared. Completely. It was gone from my floppy disc (remember, those rectangular computer discs?) AND from my PC. So, it basically freaked me out so much that I've stopped writing.

Creepy, Serp. That is creepy.

Another confession... Uhm... Hmm...

I'm starting to consider getting a gender change when I'm older.

I most likely wont, and I know it's silly, but...

I can't help but think that I probably will only ever be in a relationship with a guy (sorry, girls) but I get a little wierded out by the fact that the sex in the relationship wont invole serious amounts of lube, a lot of fondling and one of us taking it up the arse.

I just can't imagine having sex with my girl bits.

...Lawl, that sounded wierd. ANYWAY.

It's probably proof I have a sick obsession with slash.

Hey, you fic-non-finishers aren't too bad - I'm worse -_-" Most of the time I don't even get past the first chapter. My latest one progressed as far as halfway-through the second chapter before I ignored it. I'm terrible! I should just go crawl under a rock or something...

No your not that bad.... I get an idea and then I'll get the plot and and everything in my head, but then I'll never write it and forget about it, then get another idea..... It's a never ending cycle..... and all of the fan-fics I've written, well they weren't even my ideas!!!!! Not that stole them..... I just borrowed them....... sort of. (and I have to point this out.... weird is spelt
W-E-I-R-D!, sorry...)

I also experimented with kissing, the first, my first kiss at age ten with my best friend Francis. I actually named him after my fiction character because I'm secretly in love with him.

Confession: I love romance fiction (that's pretty much all I read) and I always like how people write them. I have another writing problem where anything I write that has something to do with love turns into sex. Whatever I do, however hard I try to make it sound or look romantic, I always end up having to mess it up and going for sex. Am I weird?

Culturally no Mike, that's not weird at all. In the world today love and sex are so closely linked that it seems difficult to have love without sex (not so with sex, having that without love is no big deal). And because it's so hard to tell the two apart just in fanfictions, I can't imagine how hard it will be to define those boundries when I'm actually in love! Confession: I say I've never had a boyfriend, which I truely believe is true, however in fourth grade I went out with a guy named Justin and he only asked me out to try to date my friend Brooke. He dumped me two-four days later and they started going (I wasn't too crush believe me) and then like 6 hours later she dumped him for Blake, which made me a bit happy. Also he turned out to be a total jerk, this also made me a bit happy.

Err...my confession: I've never dated before. >.<

confession- I've never had a relationship longer that 5 days- they were jerks and were trying to get some- 5 days later I realize their motives and end it!

wow well um ive dated my fair share of guys i guess. Wow i make myself sound like a whore. But im really not. And i just wanted to say that i hate how people say that all guys are the same and that all they want is sex. That is not true. I mean yes ive been with guys where that is all that they wanted. But ive been with guys that dont push that at all. Like the guy im kinda with now. I mean we do other stuff but we dont have sex and weve been kinda together for over a year. He has never pushed me. Anyways my point is that there are "good" guys out there so dont get discouraged.

My confession: Im am totally boy crazy. That is all i can think about. And even though i know which guy i really love I still get crushes all the time. Is that bad? Should i be satisfied with the one guy? Am i crazy for still having feelings for other guys at the same time?

No, I have a boyfriend, but I still get crushes. The point is, a lot of people think this can't happen - but you CAN be in love with two guys (or girls, or both) but it doesn't matter, because one of them, you love MORE.

My boyfriend knows I have crushes (well, a crush) and who it is to, and he's cool with it. At least, that's what he SAID lol.

My confession is, though I am Bi - I lean toward men more, so I probably won't get with a girl. But if the oppurtunity arises, yeah, sure, lol.
