rivers_bend

Today is my two year LJ anniversary. Part of me can't believe it's only been two years, and part of me can't believe it's been that long already. In that time I've posted 121 pieces of fan fiction in 26 fandoms, fifty-odd pieces of original fiction, and enough other posts to make a total of 952 (including this one).

I've made nearly 17,000 comments, well over 100 friends, and at least one enemy. I would not give these two years back for anything.

I figured this was an appropriate meme to mark the occasion, and besides, zillah975 asked me to do it, and it's always a pleasure to make her happy.

1. My username is ______ because ______.
rivers_bend: I was riversbend on empireonline.com (a film magazine forum) because the first name I chose (long forgotten now) was taken and I'd just that day watched A River Runs Through It and I was, at the time, really rather obsessed with Serenity. The bend part was partly from the opening scene of …Runs through it, and partly cos 'bent' in England is slang for queer (and yeah, men pretty much, but whatever).

2. My name is ______ because ______.
river: well, cos that's what people on LJ call me *g*

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
Writ Large: I came to LJ to write fanfic. (I had no idea that this social explosion would happen.) I have always loved the idea of expressions writ large across someone's face, and I just latched onto the phrase. If I were the sort of person who condoned change, I might have changed it at some point, but I'm not good with change, so Writ Large it stays. Besides. I still like it.

4. My journal is subtitled____ because_____.
words without end: It is my dearest wish.

5. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
friends page: I didn't even know you could make it called something else. Besides. That's what it is.

6. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
at the moment: I've always known I loved fangirls (and by always I mean for the last two years, since I first heard of them), but after spending the weekend with a whole bunch, I started feeling the buzzing addiction, wanting to spend more and more time with fangirls.

Until the other day, it was which I love because it's true and the lovely fallen_arazil made it for me.
