Naturally, the "no Spartan upbringing" caveat is invalid if you write 300 fic ;)
I've become such a fandom isolationist; I don't read any pairing other than Plaude (for the most part), and I only read angst etc. when it comes from people I know. As for writing it, well, I prefer the little, day to day tragedies of the world to the big ones; for one I understand them better, and feel less disingenuous about using for fic. And I am unabashedly fond of fluff. Writing it, reading it, whatever, I wish I could do more of it but it doesn't come as easily as angst.
I think there's a difference between disagreeing with a character and thinking they're "wrong"; I come from an entirely different point of view than Peter's in just about every way possible, but that doesn't mean I think he's wrong. Of course I also have him do really stupid stuff sometimes, because he's Peter.
Well, my dad's family is like that. They're very reserved about sharing personal information. And feelings.
*laughs* Well, you never know when the new age "realize your potential" books will come in handy. You can use them to prop up wobbly desks!
