Your result for The Fan Fiction Personality Test...

The Mindgamer

Everything is possible, nothing is ever really over.

Fanfiction is a creative outlet for you. You don't intentionally write it, it just happens. You find inspiration in several fandoms, but are not obsessed with only one.

You like to explore "what if" situations. What if this character had never made this very choice? What if this event had taken place sooner, never, elsewhere? What if these people had never met?

You are likely to write Alternative Universes, fan seasons or sequels and just follow your (sometimes pretty strange) plot bunnies.

Well, the poll is notorious, I chose the first because I didn't like the rest, but I think it depends of a lot of things, like who is "calling out" who.

I don't think is right for a white Christian person to call you, a Jew woman of the use on nazi, but if it's someone calling a white Christian on that... well, always the first one.

"notorious"? I'm not sure what you mean.

A crucial nuance indeed.

(for the record, it was me calling out a white* Pagan person
* I think, not 100% certain)

Agh, forget that word, I don't know how to say it in english. XD But I thought someone was asking you to change the word.

Yeah, a white Christian/Pagan/Atheist/Secularist. They still have no right to that word.

I wrote the poll deliberately in a way that didn't let on which one I was because that would have biased the results (hopefully people will answer the poll before reading the comments).

Thanks.

And by the way, I understand the "respect someone else journal" feeling. And that's fair, I think there are people who hate to be called on, but that's why I remove people from my fl. If the person in question isn't capable of considering the things that may hurt me (and fairly, we are talking about a white Pagan here), then I don't want that person on my fl.

I mean, people have the right to write whatever they want, but you have the right to react however you want to what they write.

And (Shoot, I can't edit comments), I won't even begin to compare the "I have the right to use this expression due to my freedom of speech and my entitlement journal rights" with "hey, that word has a painful history for me."

[la-vie-noire.livejournal.com]

"Painful history of genocide" you know. Damn it, LJ knows how to make people desire paid accounts. XD

Yeah, it sorts of depend on who that person on my flist is. If it's someone I don't know well and don't care much, I'd probably just defriend because, indeed, they might want to say this on their journal, but I don't want to read it. But when it's someone I have some kind of relationship and I think they would care, and probably they only did it because they didn't think before using that expression (not like that sort of things didn't happen to me before, many times)? Well, I'd want to give them a chance to remove it before I stop reading their journal. There's a good friend who used... I don't remember if it was "gay" or "fagottry" in a problematic way before, and I pointed it to them and they removed it at once.
In this case, I really thought this person would be capable of consider it may hurt me, they're not only a Pagan, they're also LGBT, and judging by their fic, knows a fair deal about the History of the Shoah. Which made me all the most gob-smacked when they reacted as they did.

errr, that was a lot of rambling to basically say "i agree".

[la-vie-noire.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I understand, and it's true. I have let so many things slip for so many people, but at least hope that if it's someone who I trust so much to say something... you know.
