garnigalEnigmaticblues gave me the following words:
1. Mal
Mal is a deeply flawed human being, and therefore a perfect character. Mercurial and playful by turns, he's intelligent (though he plays dumb), emotional (though he acts detached) and honourable (though he aims to misbehave). The canon that we have is compelling, both in the writing and in the portrayal, but where Mal really shines is in fanfic. He is... malleable, all things to all people. I love writing Mal, especially Mal/River. (I also like fantasizing about Mal, but don't tell Spike.)
2. Joss Whedon
What can you say about Joss? I'll watch/read anything he does, knowing that even in the worst of it, there's always going to be something, some moment that makes it all worthwhile. He can make me cry, make me laugh, and inspires me to keep writing.
3. Drabble
What a fantastic format a drabble is for fanfic. Most of what I write tends to be psychological moments anyway, rather than plot (I don't need no stinking plot!), so the format really lends itself to that. I love the challenge of finding just the right words, of expressing an image or moment in perfect clarity. I love the cameraderie and support of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
open_on_sunday, where I found my first LJ friends, where I posted my first fics, and where I got my first comments.
4. Boyfriend
Are we talking about Mal again? Oh, you probably mean that real live dude I cohabitate with. We've been together for a long damn time now, and while there are things I'd like to change, we bump along pretty well. I think we've both learned from the other, and it's been good for both of us.
5. Canada
My home and native land! I really do love it up here, though it certainly isn't perfect. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else (though I do fantasize about being a famous screenwriter in LA) - I love my four seasons, being close to my family, and the image of Canada the Good. I like that we recognize that we're a young country, that we make mistakes, that we need to learn from them. I like our ties to Britain and I like the monarchy. I like my music with the required Can-con every five songs or so. I like seeing Canadian faces in movies and television and in international situations. I like to show my small part of the country off to visitors, and I love to visit other parts of the country that I haven't seen yet.
Thanks so much for the words - this meme was a blast! Anyone else interested, just leave a comment and I'll give you words.
