um. *confuzzled*

just a quick personal question...

... do I really come off as intimidating in any way, shape or form? O_o;;;;



EDIT: okay, whoa. o_o;;;;;; uhm. whoa. *eyes number of comments* #x_x# you people keel me ded of blush. *sends massive love to everyone* I was expecting maybe ten, twenty replies, not that much. Now it looks like I was fishing for compliments or something @_@ (as if I ever bothered to be this subtle when asking people to send me some adoration XD)

(also, i do not eat anonymous commenters and people who have added me to their friendslist and never said anything -- if you're lurking because you like lurking better, it's just fine with me, I do that in a lot of places too so I definitely understand the appeal and don't expect you to stop watching and join in; just don't lurk only because you're scared I'll eat you. XD I swear I'll only nibble very gently at the very most.)

Intimidating? No, don't think so. You seem like a very nice, friendly, caring person. Intimidating? Nuh-uh. ^___^ *squishpetlovehug*

Yes. You're a mean, heartless, and evile biatch. And you get really uke and needy, too.

>:D

No, but you come off as intelligent, which I've found is intimidating to some people.

I also find that more "popular" fandom writers intimidate the tweenies.

Basically what I was going to say. It's difficult to not be a little intimidated by well established fans if you're kind of new.

You're kidding, right?

Well, do you mean intimidating in the what-you-can-do sense? I suppose some might be intimidated by your multiple skills: writing in two languages, drawing -- I might say those skills intimidate me (but in a non-scared way), in the sense that I respect those talents highly and am consistently impressed.

In the who-you-are sense? Maybe if someone is intimidated by the above, this might overflow into thinking that you as a person are kinda scary and impressive. But I wouldn't agree; as a person you're quite approachable, warm, a bit silly, and terribly, wonderfully perverted.

Here, here!

Personally, I think people like me who randomly comment in journals of people I respect/am in awe of/wish I could be half as talented as are more intimidating. The random comments are just.. well, especially when one forgets that one's been reading a journal and viewing the journalists works for a while without commenting, then suddenly leaves a big, personal comment about something? That's intimidating, and darn close to stalkerish.

Now I'm making myself paranoid. How many people have I scared?

Only because I am painfully shy and have considerable difficulty IM'ing new people, much less people I'm a fan of and therefore desperately want to be liked by. Don't want to come across as "that creepy fanit pest". But that was just the first time.

[identity profile] stitched-scars.livejournal.com 2005-09-27 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmmmm, I would say intimidating because you're one o' the BIG person in the naruto fandom, and that can be scary to other people. Umm... intimidatin' 'cuz you don't take any shit? Maybe that one too.

But really you're just a bundle of luffy-duffy goo inside! XP

[identity profile] silverkiiri.livejournal.com 2005-09-27 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly? You were at first. I was scared as hell the first few times I posted in any author's journal, especially yours. I had been reading your GW stuff and salivating over it for a long time before I realized you, like most, have a LJ. So it was like writing to the author of any published book. Scared me like wh0a. I couldn't imagine what someone so intelligent and creative would say to me. I felt like a total nerd.

But now? Nah, you're not intimidating now. I mean, yeah, you might be kinda scary when you rant, but it's really more of an "aww ::hugpetcuddle::" scary than anything else. ^_^

Not ... really. When you get angry, perharps a little -- but then again I am a far-too-nice person who doesn't like to anger/upset other people so I tend not to like it when they are angry/upset or whatever.

I don't know. You seem-- well, normal. For a Naruto fan. Which is to say not really normal but somewhat normal?

one day, I will learn to express myself correctly. no really.

It's because you're a BNF :O~

You're a scary scary person, but only in a good, crackheaded way. You probably intimidate the n00bs because they want to be just like 'Asuka-sempai~~' one day. :D I can still kinda remember when I was an easily-awed n00b. Ehehehehehehehe. Now it's my turn (in GW fandom). *evil grin*

Oh, yes. You are scary ^__^

[identity profile] kira-kirke.livejournal.com 2005-09-27 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
For me you were intimidating at first, but now I know that in your heart you're just Big!Scary!Horrifying!Bad!Askerian *cuddlepetsnuggles* XDXDXP

[identity profile] kali-sama.livejournal.com 2005-09-27 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I have to admit, you are just the teesniest bit intimidating, but not because of your personality or anything, but just because you're one of the most well-known people in the gw fandom, to me at least, and you are incredibly talented, plus I'm shy and generally neurotic, so lump all that together and it's a bit intimidating. That's why I'm generally a lurker and never comment much. But you personally are a sweet, funny person and not intimidating in the last-it's just your talent and reputation that is. Er, if that makes any sense ^^;;

[identity profile] rayemars.livejournal.com 2005-09-28 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, kind of. As a person, you seem to be very friendly and personable (I say "seem" because I don't really know you that well, not because I think you're secretly planning to conquer Venezuela or something), but as a fandom personality, you're intimidating through reputation and works. I remembered having this "Oh shit if I suck she'll think less of me" moment when you first friended me. *grin*

I don't think anyone who's spoken to you would consider you intimidating, but if they only have read what you've written or seen what you've drawn, they'll probably be a little nervous to talk to you.

[identity profile] chibirisuchan.livejournal.com 2005-09-28 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not the best person to answer this, because I don't think you're intimidating -- but then I don't think I'm intimidating either, until I think about a couple of the times I've gone virtua-ballistic on the "UPDATENOWBITCH-KTHXBAI" review squad, and I have a feeling some non-KTHXBAI-review-squad members might get intimidated by the fact that when I explode I REALLY explode. And on the one hand I know completely where you're coming from when you do that when people prod at you about Garou etc, but on the other hand it might be possible for people who haven't been poking to be too intimidated to risk poking? ::shrug::

and by the way, DO YOU EVER SLEEP? I KNOW about what time it is on your continent right now, you know! (hands over pillow and blanket and sleeping-kitten to give off the kitten-sleep-rays-of-snore-inducingness)

[personal profile] edenfalling 2005-09-28 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you can draw. I am always slightly intimidated by people who are good at art, because I always wanted to be good at art, and yet I'm the sort of person who, if she works really hard, is kind of mediocre. *sigh*

Other than that, well, I don't think I commented right away when I first found your lj, but that's just me being an introvert. You're much too exuberant to be properly intimidating. ;-)

Scary? I guess you can be scary in the she draws, writes and knows two languages way, if the other person is going by what you do in fandom.

I don't really know, since I'm not intimidated by much online.

No! You seem like such a nice, friendly person! Lol, and somewhat hyper. *Sheepish grin* I can't really see someone being itimidated by you... except perhaps your prolific writings...? *Shrugs* But that's more like a sense of awe than anything else...

[identity profile] sailor-comet.livejournal.com 2005-09-28 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Not due to your personality or anything, but yes. People are intimidated by somebody who's so skilled; you're not only good at writing but art as well. And then the fact that you're so friendly might scare people even more XD if you were mean they wouldn't be nervous about talking to you, they just wouldn't talk to you. ^_^; If that makes sense.

[identity profile] grey-sterling.livejournal.com 2005-09-28 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Good god, I wasn't before, but now I can't help but be intimidated just by the comment count generated by this thread. o_O It went up by 20 in the time it took me to drive home from work.

I'm just a random lurker, but you seem like a nice person to me. ^^

I guess since I'm delurking I may as well tell you that No Different is the yardstick I hold all other Naruto smex against. XD

[identity profile] purple-angel01.livejournal.com 2005-09-28 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
^_^ yes!

*gets hit*

Yea, well. A person has to be like, not stupid to talk to you, which is, I think, a big problem for many fangirls ^^;.

However, for the not-stupid amougnst us (I'm including myself here *so there*) you're a god-send.

And besides, uke!sasuke fans are a minority and it's good to have someone who not only agrees with sasuke's uke-ness (and other things ^^;), but writes about it and MAKES IT GOOD.

Bye *waves*
