Why I`m here, and a Thank You!

I keep this LJ as a means to view fan fiction, and I`m making this post because one of the many great authors on my f-list is starting a new journal/community for her fan fiction. She requested that people who wanted to stay friended to her journal should put up at least one post on their LJ, and tell her a little bit about themselves. She didn`t want people with totally blank journals on her f-list, which is understandable. So, I had to show her that I`m not a "ghost", and that I could do this, even if I`m scared shit-less about it!:)

I came to LJ almost two years ago, mostly to read fan fic, particularly fan fic related to my beloved Brokeback Mountain and Queer as Folk. I guess I have been a quiet reader most of the time, although I have been commenting more and more. I comment on fics, pic-spams or other posts that interests me, or posts that I particularly like.

I am not going to start posting on my journal much, but I will continue to participate by commenting on peoples work. During my time here I have never posted anything at all on my own LJ, so this is actually my first time ever. And why is that? Well, I am definitely not an author, I can`t write any good stories worth reading. English is not my first language, I`m Norwegian and sometimes I find it quite difficult to express myself in English. My life is a normal day to day life, filled with my work as a teacher, my children, my family and my friends. It`s a nice one, but there just isn`t that much exciting or interesting stuff going on to post about really. :)

So, I can`t write but I sure can read, and that is what this is all about. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you fabulous people on my f-list who actually can write. I can`t even begin to tell you how much I appreciate being able to read and enjoy your wonderful work. It`s simply fantastic to have such talented and creative people providing me with so much great stuff. I guess you could say that I have fallen in love with, and have also become quite addicted to your beautiful stories about boys who love boys.:) You are all so gifted and so special, and if some of you should become well-known published authors one day, I would not be the least surprised! Thank you all so much for sharing your talent! May you keep on getting inspired, and may your muse` be kept up and alive for a long time. I feel really bad that I have nothing to give back to you, I`m sorry about that. And if I`m bugging the hell out of you with this, well... then I`m sorry about that too.:)
Yeah, this is me, and this is why I`m here.
