December 17th- Where is the most interesting place you've ever been?

This isn't exciting, but Salzburg is the most interesting place I've ever been. Because it was my mom's home town and it was interesting to see the place she grew up in, to see places that she told us about.

Dec 18: What first drew you to Smallville, and what was the turning point to make you want to write in the fandom? :D

What drew me to SV? Well, I was reading BtVS mainly, and reading in other fandoms sporadically—BoonDockSaints, SportsNight, Faculty—and came across some amazing dub-con, angsty RedK Smallville stories, searched out other stories and found a place in the Fandom of Pain. I loved it so much I had to try to write some too, and my first few stories were very short and absolute shit, and then I wrote a longer story, also shit. And then, I threw off the traces and wrote whatever I damn well felt like writing about Clark and Lex and it got better. :D

Those boys—they were fun to write and SV peeps were *wonderfully* patient and kind. Best fandom ever to newbies, thank you so much, guys! ♥

Salzburg, Austria? Not exciting? Only if Europe is old hat. I'm thrilled that it's your most interesting place!


Mmmmm Smallville. I loved the early seasons but it lost me before Jensen arrived, sadly.

ACK! I suck for answering comments!! So sorry!

I think being a former military dependent makes it not so mysterious, plus spending most summers with my Oma also makes it seem like not exciting because Oma, bless her heart was not exactly a cookie-baking, tell me about your day grandma. So I forget that it's actually a wonderful place and somewhere I wish I could afford to go again--and also conquer my fear of flying and crowds and people and streets and crowds and flying and...*koff*

Smallville was a troublesome show, no matter how much I love Clark and Lex, it was often hard to watch. And Jensen probably wakes up in a cold sweat remembering his role on that show. Oy.

Oh, Salzburg is a beautiful city! I loved it there. That is exciting!

The SV fandom really was a welcoming one.

It is so beautiful. I wonder if I'd love it as much now that Mom is gone. It was never so much the city for me as enjoying my mom's joy in her home town.

SV fandom made me think everyone was as welcoming and loving. SpN fandom...eh, not so much. I learned early on that there was crazy aplenty but the folks who've friended me in these later years have been really great people.

Yes, the SV fandom was so good. I've been in some fandoms since that I loved (Fake News, e.g.), but a couple of them have been terrible. I'm glaring at Glee.

So glad you're enjoying your latter-day SpN friends!

Smallville really was a fantastic fandom, wasn't it? I don't miss the stupid arguments, but I sure miss all the people I got to know back then. I had just joined the internet, and it really was a great welcome.

It was amazing! Going on line back then was like going to a wonderful party everyday, where you knew everyone and liked them and they liked you right back. I really miss that!

Well I think Salzburg is a pretty interesting place to visit . It is the birthplace of Mozart etc. Yes Smallville fandom was special; and thanks for all your SV stories.

It really is beautiful. And full of cool things, yeah. I guess so many folks on line have been to all these exotic places that Salzburg seems old hat. Maybe because I used to spend my summers at my grandma's and frankly it was kind of boring unless my mom was taking us places, lol!

Thank you for liking those stories! They were some of my best because I had no idea what I was doing so I did anything, lol! Now, I worry too much. :)
