*Shyly takes the mike*  
So yeah, just a little "getting to know you" question. Is there anyone here who is on/used to be on Neopets? How about Fanfiction.net? Online role-play? How do the internet groups you've been on in the past relate to the community here at HiH? I'm just curious where everyone else has been. Not that I still play Neopets, no sir...

I used to be on FF.net years and years ago. I do online role-play here on LJ for a couple Nascar groups. I'm actually a part of the [livejournal.com profile] must_be_pop community.

That comm looks really interesting! I tend to wander around the fandom-type stuff, so I've never seen any of the celebrity or NASCAR stuff. I still have an account on FF.net, if only to review. I haven't posted on it for a few years though, and most of my older stuff is junk.

It is a ton of fun. There's just about any celb you can think of on there. Even the HP actors lol.

Neopets is really not something for me. I used to have a couple of badfics on ffnet until they removed the NC-17 stuff. I still read some stuff there, though... not HP, but anime stuff, as some fandoms have so pathetically few fics that you can't be picky about what you read. Take Banba/Harao of Eyeshield 21, for example *points at icon* I've seen three ficlets/drabbles, and they were all by the same person. Despite the fact that it is one of the more obvious slash ships in canon. *sigh*

Yeah. I was always annoyed when I got interested in a new fandom and had to dig through the "Misc." categories to find any fics for it. Or discover there were none at all. Still, FF.net can be VERY entertaining, if you're in the mood for badfic.
[identity profile] delfeus.livejournal.com on November 3rd, 2006 09:12 pm (UTC)
I can't be bothered with the misc. The only fics I've read from there were linked to me.

I used to play on Neopets a few years ago. I was practically obsessed with it. Role-playing isn't my thing, but I have an account at FF.net, though only so it will send me updates for a few of the fics I read. :)

I played on neopets until 5 years ago maybe and I used to live on fanfiction.net, mostly writing Digimon fanfics because I'm just that cool. I don't think I've been there for 2 years or something now. I do do a ton of online RPing though now, most of it is done at TG. But I do enjoy my RPGs ^^

I'm on ff.net right now, simply because I've been writing post-HBP fic since a week and a half after HBP came out. =P I'm in the middle of my second fic right now (ten months strong and counting!! EEK!!!), so my inbox is bombarded with reviews every couple of days (though recently I've run out of chapters to post...sadness). So honestly, before I found HiH and became obsessed, I hadn't had time to look into other types of comms. Before I found my beloved HP, I was a LOTR nut, so I would lurk on sites like theonering.net (http://www.theonering.net/index.shtml) and Council-of-Elrond (http://www.councilofelrond.com/index.php), but that was AGES ago, it seems...

Yeah, I'm totally on Neopets.

I should probably go feed my pets again, huh?

Pssh, nobody ever feeds thei pets, unless they're using the battledome. I never really did, anyway. Too lazy, and it never really mattered anyway.

I recall going to Neopets a long time ago but never really stayed XD. I dunno, it made me too sad to see the animals left behind and stuff. I'm too sensitive to animals. Lol XD

I started Roleplaying about 3 years ago (EEE, it's been so long) in the MSN Chats while they were still free and before they were shut down to anyone under 18. It was there that I met some of my best friends that I still have to this day! Long story but when the chats closed, a bunch of us that still wanted to RP with each other all went to Messenger and began RPing through IM on there instead (which we still do today!). The rest, as they say... is history ;).

I now RP at [livejournal.com profile] hih_thegame, which I suppose is just an affiliate to HiH now which is a pity. It's a wicked RP and I'm totally addicted to it and my characters XD.

I used to be, then found Gaiaonline. I love the place.

and fanfiction.net is my fav. I love reading sailor moon stuffs with mako/amichan pairings. *giggles* I'm such a Sailor Moon geek. My best friend is Mako-chan and I'm ami-chan.

As for online roleplay, I used to do adventurequest, and I really want to do ragnarok but not with dial up. No siree.

On fanfiction.net I am Lariren-Shadow. Really I just use the same name over and over and over again it seems like.

I am also a Ravendor at [livejournal.com profile] fawkes_reunion.

I used to be on neopets. Was totally obsessed with making my pets look all pretty and decorating my neohome. But then I ditched it when the staff deleted my account for using the word "but", not "butt." And it was in a sentence like this: Green is a nice color, BUT yellow is prettier". How was that breaking the rules?Stupid neopets staff.

I'm on both FF.N (moon faery) and Neopets (tsukinofaerii). I don't do either much any more. FF.N has really gone downhill in quality since removing all the NC17 stuff, and I just lost interest in Neopets, so I only play now and then.

I actually read the most recent KH fic you have on your LJ. It was really good! But I agree with you about FF.net. I don't go there very often anymore, because there's nothing worth reading in the Digimon section, and the good KH fics are advertised on LJ.

Angela//Slytherin
[identity profile] tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com on November 4th, 2006 12:44 am (UTC)
Eep! You read! ^-^; I always feel so weird when someone (I haven't forced) reads my stuff... Thank you for the compliment!

I know what you mean about FF.N. There's a very few fics I follow that I've been following forever and that have proven themselves. (Uzumaki-sama, for example), but if I really felt like it I could probably find them on LJ too. Sigh. And I never surf for fics there unless I'm really, really desperate, and these days I'm never that desperate. I suppose I should be glad fics are getting more popular, but at the same time it's flooding the fandom with very low quality stories. If I see another writer who can't capitalize "I", keep "their/they're/there" straight and writes "n n3tsp33k", I'm going to scream!

if you see anyone with 'askani' chances are its me. ive had a neopets account a couple of months longer than my lj account. [6 years]

ive been on ff.net as long as i can remember. i remember when it wasnt so bad as it is now. but i like the author alerts and new chapter alerts they have and also the favorite stories/authors you can add to your own account.

[i also only really use it for ljs, wolf lake, white wolf/k:te and aar fics. the stuff that doesnt have its own big fandoms.]

What is Neopets? *is slow*

Well, I have fic hosted on ff.net, adultfanfiction.net, Fiction Alley, Forever Fandom, and Overcoming Rivalry. Yes, I'm a review whore. What's your point?

I wouldn't even have an lj if it weren't for Fiction Alley. See, I applied to be a Niffler there (A Niffler is a fanfic reader who goes out and reads tons of fanfic and then recs the good ones to the community) and we have a niffler lj account, so I got a livejournal simply for that. Then I joined a few communities that I had interests in common with (like the Hermione/Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort community) and met more and more people. Then I met masked_key_, who was the one who eventually led me here because she was talking about her app in her journal.

Neopets is a website that lets you have virtual pets and make moolah"neopoints" with them, which lets you buy stuff for them. They have decent games, which is why I go there to waste time. The community itself, especially the message boards, are very scary though.

And there is nothing wrong with being a review whore. ^_^

Oh, cool! I will stay away, though. I already do too many time wasting activities. ;o)

Heh. I'm glad you agree.

I've been meaning to tell you for some time (but I can't at platform 9 and 3/4 cause of the "no commenting" rule so yay Hogsmeade) but I adore your icon. It's so hilarious.

I am sort of on Neopets. And by "sort of," I'm just there every now and then as the mood strikes. I have a certain amount of attachment to my pets heh, but I don't have the inclination to spend a lot of time there as of late. I still like some of the games there, though. I used to be quite obsessed with it. I was in a guild (mostly for Lupes/wolves), and there were some HP fans in that guild as well, but it fell apart. Although I think that was on an older account that I lost after it became inactive for a long while. As it stands now I'm really not there much except once in awhile (and otherwise keep my pets in the hotel to keep 'em fed).

Predominately I mostly just like to lurk around the internet though :P.

I was a big Zenhex go-er when that was popular. Infact I was wone of the original 100 members before it got big into a +10,000 member site. And then I left (people pissed meoff). And then Zen sold out to 'my yearbook' or something. And as far as I know the site just died.
I dont expect anyone to know that site. It was popular 2002-2005~ish and although it was one of the top messageboard sites on the internet, we all know how message board sites are scattered...

I admit I did the gaia thing. *shudders* And the neopets thing (got out of that when they started selling their site to cheerio's. Excuse me, when I want to play a game with my neopet I dont want it to have anything to do with a cheerio's-themed anything).

I did the IMVU thing for a while but the IM kept crashing my computer and I just lost interest in the message board. I havent been there for months...

I'm a big fan of Pogo.com -- paticularly the Spades section of the website. I am addicted to the game Spades. I can and will kick anyones ass. It is my poker.

But I am a member of [livejournal.com profile] np_hogwarts, which is an amazing HiH AU RP online. You should definitely check us out! We used to be a part of HiH but have really expanded and grown into our own over the last year.
