rsadelle1. I am not really an OTP (One True Pairing) sort of person. Or rather, if I am, my OTP is a het couple in a fandom in which I've never read a good story. Jarod/Miss Parker and Chakotay/B'Elanna Torres being the OTPs that come to mind. Having said that, there are limits to what I will read. I'm a TTC, or sometimes FTC, type of person. If the acronyms seem odd to you, they should. I'm making them up as I go along. I'm a Three True Characters, or sometimes Four True Characters, person when it comes to lo-trips. More specifically, I'll only read things in which Orlando, Viggo, Sean B, or sometimes Ian is one half of the pairing. Unlike nearly everyone else in this fandom, I don't like the Hobbits. They look like trolls. Elijah's eyes are freaky and disturbing. I didn't see The Goonies until I was about 16 and it was too late for me to form an 80s emotional attachment to it. Although you just may be able to persuade me that Orlando/Sean A is not an entirely bad idea.
2. I like it when Orlando gets to be funny:
Was this post merely an excuse for pictures and a play on the fact that it's my one hundred first entry? Only you can determine that. But before I go, let me leave you with one last link: a picture in which Orlando looks like my brother at age six.

Had he bungee jumped into an alternate universe?
--Tricia's "The Fling"
Well, he'd show them. He was Orlando fucking Bloom, for fuck's sake. Women loved him. Men loved him. And Sean and Viggo were going to damn well love him if he had anything at all to say about it.
--Brenda's "Willing"
"Now get me the *fuck* up off the floor. My legs seem to be made of octopus tentacles."3. I just like Orlando, period. He's adorable and sexy and all of that. He says things like, "If you were short you were cast as a Hobbit, and if you were tall you were cast as a human. And if you were kind of weird and mousy looking, you were cast as an elf." And he's hot with women. Not only are there the pictures to which I've already linked, but there are also screencaps of him and Liv Tyler looking married, an adorable picture of him with Kate Winslet, and a wonderful, plot bunny-inducing picture of him with Nicole Kidman.
--Nancy's "The Jealousy Waltz"

Date: 2002-03-28 08:51 pm (UTC)Thank you very much for posting the Orlando/Liv goodness, thanks to you i now have about 15 screencaps of almost the same picture saved on my computer. Not that i'm fanatical, or anything. And i agree with everything you said in regards to liking Orlando, period. He's just so sharp, and self-deprecating in spite of being an enticing combination of talent and purtiness. But well, you know all of that, so i don't know why i'm telling you :)
*Anyways*, i wanted to add to the pictures [ignore the fact that they're

I just liked the story [and your writing] so much that i went ahead anyway. Don't feel obliged to use it or anything, but if y'know, it somehow inspired you to write more Orlando/Liv, i won't complain :)
Luv Jo

Date: 2002-03-29 06:13 pm (UTC)Thank you for the cover. I'm so honored and amazed and awed that you were inspired to do that, and it's beautiful. I've put it up on my server with a link to it from my RPFic page and a link to your e-mail address.
