really daggy post
Sep. 22nd, 2011 09:24 pmI'm about to make a really daggy post, you've been warned. Also involves story of my love life which a lot of you have heard before. Again, warned. :)
I was thinking about writing fic, and the old adage 'write what you know' kept popping into my head. Except I'm thinking about writing slash, you know, males having sex, and what could I possibly know about that?!
So I started thinking about what I did know about romance, love and all that and what my experiences were like.
In early 2007, I was done with hiding my boyfriends from my parents. I was done dating boys that I couldn't bring home because they weren't Vietnamese. I was going to give in and either find myself a successful Vietnamese boy my Mum would be proud of, or just give into my Aunt's matchmaking ways and find myself attached to a 35 year old Vietnamese doctor.
That's when Adam broke up with his longterm live in girlfriend. And when I decided that what the hell, I deserved one last fling. One crazy fling where I got everything out of my system. Adam was fine with being that fling. We were gonna be fuck buddies and It Was Going To Be Just Casual.
During this fling I was taken on perfectly planned movie-like dates with the most boring Vietnamese men alive, and my mum was so pleased. I wasn't a lesbian! Adam would text me during these dates, telling me I was destined to have ugly boring babies. Sometimes I'd see Adam after the date. Adam didn't take me on dates, though once we went to KFC together.
I, however, could never ever Be With Adam because he was omg working class, omg white, omg monolingual (even all the white Jewish boys I dated spoke Hebrew. Adam was like the only monolingual person I knew!) omg poor and omg my parents were going to disown me. I was a snobbish prat and Adam kind of hated me for it. Except for the bit where he's been in love with me since we first met way back in 2005.
So fast forward a few months and I am practically secretly living at his house with a key and a toothbrush and sabotaging all my potential new relationships and he's going out drinking with his mates to LIVE UP THE SINGLE LIFE but never really kissed anyone, and yeah, I think that was that. ♥ Cue speech from Adam 'we love each other, we're a team, we can do anything, including tell your parents', I got things thrown at me, but my parents got over it.
MY LIFE IS A MERLIN/ARTHUR FIC. hahahaahaha :D
eta: also, I read my first Reincarnation fic in any fandom ever and OMG GIVE ME ALL THE REINCARNATION FIC. *grabby hands* Epic Destiny Love. Yep yep.
