lots of new friends

[salixbabylon]

Seems like every week there are a few more new people friending me, mostly for my fic. Welcome!

All of my writing is listed at the fic index and is handily tagged by fandom and pairing. Otherwise I mostly post pictures of naked boys and random crap about my life and whatever strikes my fancy.

It's been a while since I did a getting-to-know-you meme, and this is a good one:

The problem with LJ: We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about one another. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

New friends, old friends - everyone. Go ahead, ask me anything. I'm an open book. :)

(Truly, I'm honest about myself to a fault, somewhat of a narcissist [like all writers], and revealing things about myself is one of my very few submissive traits.)

Here you go: What question are you secretly hoping someone will ask?

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Something totally shocking about sex. ;)

[live-laugh-love.livejournal.com]

favorite way to sex it up with a woman? man? yourself?

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

With myself? Watching gay porn, using a dildo, on my back, lots of lube, totally naked, on a towel on the living room sofa, screaming my head off. ;)

[sra-danvers.livejournal.com]

YAY for that!

[koulagirl666.livejournal.com]

You know, I've known of you and read your stories for ages (back in the VigOrli days!)... so what should I know that I don't? I have no idea. But! Hello!

(Okay, so... do you ever write fic based on those pictures of naked boys? :p)

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Based on? Not really, but I do use the poses and facial expressions as inspiration for sex scenes when I get stuck. Porn vids, too. Nothing like watching people have sex and then trying to write about what you've seen to get some life into a dull scene. ;)

Thanks for all the great fics!

here ya go:
Have you ever done (and you so know i'm pertaining to sex here,lol) some of the things that you make the boys do in your fics? hee.

thanks!

[vna04.livejournal.com]

...or are those mostly research based? :D

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Some of each. ;) Shoot me a specific and Ic an answer, but in general, I've done many but not all of the things I write about. If something is totally new, I will often try it out to see what it's like before writing. The only thing I haven't done yet that I've definitely written is threesomes or moresomes. Yet. *g*

I would love to know what is your work... ^^

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Well, right now I'm wearing several hats. 1) Records manager at a legal firm. 2) Editor for Dreamspinner Press. 3) Writer. 4) Life Coach/Relationship & Sexuality coach.

[sra-danvers.livejournal.com]

1 and 2 seems so interesting.
I love your 3 ^^ and enjoy so much!
That 4... XD I think I would need that too! ;-)

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm always up for email conversations, if you need to talk. :)

[sra-danvers.livejournal.com]

I would love to!

danvers_@hotmail.com

Thanks dear, you're so kind!

[gladsomemind.livejournal.com]

When are you coming to visit?

That's one I should really know!

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

When we have money? Things are horridly tight right now. We're debating canceling our anniversary trip in two weeks - that bad. :(

[fuzzyoverlord39.livejournal.com]

Completely randome: Do you have any pets? And if so, what kind and how many?

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

I have a 12 year old golden retriever named Oswald. He is my baby. :)

[evila-elf.livejournal.com]

Do people in real life know what you write? Why?
And is there anyone who you really really really don't want to find out?

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Some poeple know. Husband, close friends. Certainly not coworkers or relatives - I simply tell them "erotica", sometimes "gay male erotica", depending on their homophobia levels.

Not really, no. I can think of several people it would be uncomfortable to talk about with, but I've been very public that I write about sex (non-fiction) and I'm not ashamed of that, or the erotica, so no.

HUh. A few years ago my answer would have been very different. I guess things change. :)

[gladsomemind.livejournal.com]

A few years ago you were outed to a relative stranger by a shocked friend...

How things have changed!

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I started off hiding, got outed by some trusted friends, and realized it wasn't the end of the world. At all. :)
