I lurked around QAF US for quite a bit, but I think I read most of the funnier pieces like eleveninches's stuff and um, I think there was bigboobedcanuck and some other really witty people that I can't remember. But wait, if you remember any, now I am insanely curious!
I totally agree about second person usage. First person is almost always very painful and I used to hate second person because it just seemed so unnatural. I was very much a third person girl, but sometimes I start writing and it's like I want to "talk" to the character instead of talking about them or something so I get into second. Or I start the first line and oops, there's a you and now I can't switch back.
Ok, I'm a Mac and apparently my computer hates my enjoyment of SGA because that video will not play. So instead I will have to "imagine" what you mean by "goof around" and "giddy" and you know, if I'm thinking of Joe giving David a very enthusiastic blowjob, that's totally just because of what the words invoked. I mean, I can only work with I'm given, right?
Dude, I had three real life David crushes in roll (sadly, none of them were even remotely like Daves) in three different states all with a dot on their right cheek. It was very bizarre, but now I will always have a special fondness for that name.
