I should not, should not, should not be considering picking up my ST:V fics again.

Only I am.

...I may need an intervention.

Don't look at me. I'm all for you writing P/T.

Their love is so snarky.

I was nosing around LJ's school listing for SHS and just about choked on my soda when I saw someone with "fanfic" in her screen name. And a Voyager fan at that! I've never ran into anyone else in the area that actually knew what fanfic and fandom are...so, hi!

You were only two years ahead of me, so we might have actually known (or known of) each other while we were there.

I believe there were a very few of us at the old SHS that knew of fanfic and fandoms, most of the others in my class likely learning about it from me, but we are likely few and far between.

I wasn't very social in high school so I may not have ever met you, but there is the possibility. Were you in Writer's Guild? I am sorta, kinda the defacto president for, um, about three years.

I remember mentioning fanfic to only one of my friends because I knew her reaction wouldn't be that of "Wow, you're even weirder than I already thought you were!" Otherwise, my mother and a college professor at Indiana State were the only others I ever told about it.

I think I went to maybe one or two meetings when Writer's Guild first started...I was interested and Mr. Carter encouraged me to participate, but it didn't really fit into my extracurricular schedule with marching band and drama productions. So no, you probably wouldn't remember me from there.

I was reading your profile a little more closely, though, and the mention of Illyana Rasputin sparked a memory from speech class. I remember someone eulogized her as part of an assignment.

Was that you? If so, then I was the sophomore with the dark brunette hair that didn't get a severe case of the giggles over the mental image of of a comic book character in a casket.

Oh my. It is very possible that it was me as that sounds like something I would do. I cannot for the life of me remember doing anything like that, though I will admit to blocking out most memories of speech class due to the teacher alone.

Do you recall if you were in the class with a guy who decided to do a speech on Spam? And then proceeded to bring a can of said stuff into class? If so, then we might have hit the nail on the head. Except that I still want to dig out my yearbooks (if I can find them) and go looking for you.

Heh. She was...not a great teacher. To put it mildly. Unfortunately, I'm able to attest to the fact that she was even worse as at teaching theater and that Madame Schmitt was very unimpressed with how little we learned in French II with that woman.

And YES! I think his name was Jason. If I remember correctly, it was also the only speech the guy actually managed to complete writing and actually deliver during that semester. It was a bit of a running joke with the class.

Eh, my sophomore picture was terrible. Maybe I can spare you the need to dig out yearbooks with one of my senior pictures instead: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v199/blueangelsng/?action=view¤t=window.jpg

In 2000, I still had bangs and shoulder length hair, but surely my face didn't change that much within two years.
