Having stated, when I posted about fandomsecrets, that I don't keep secrets, I feel compelled to make this followup post.
As I continued to go through the community archives and read each day's new post, I noticed that the secrets I enjoyed and remember most aren't the ones about the fandoms I'm in. They're not the ones with opinions I agree with. They're the ones with true sex stories*.
I went on to discover from fandomsecrets's profile page that the "secrets" format comes from the community
ljsecret, where I discovered an even higher ratio of sex-related secrets. I lost interest in the
fandomsecrets archives, though I still read each new post; and have started going through the
ljsecret archive instead and reading new
ljsecrets posts as they arrive. And sometimes to entertain myself I draft made up secrets (with no desire to post them).
I think that the reason I draw privately-circulated fanfiction cartoons for grownups is to compensate my id for having had an unadventurous adolescence. My interest in ljsecret appears to be another symptom of the same thing.
In my fandomsecrets post I offered some examples of typical secret types. Here's some paraphrasures from memory of
ljsecret and
fandomsecrets secrets that stuck in my mind. ( Cut for adult content )
* For a value of "true" equal to "anything on the internet is statistically guaranteed to be partially comprised of trolling".
Title: One Child Born 3/4
Author: scarfman
Characters/Pairing: Lois & Clark, the Doctor
Rating: PG
Setting (spoilers through): both franchises c.1997, just after the Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman series finale
Disclaimer: This work is derivative of property of the BBC and Warner Communications. No profit shall be made and no market of the owner(s) is infringed upon.
Summary: Lois & Clark have had a baby left on their doorstep - but who is he, and what are they to do about it?
Having been composed in 1998, this story predates and ignores anything from more recently produced screen Doctor Who which might suggest that Time Lords have family lives approaching what might be considered normal by the target viewing audience, a subject left unaddressed and ambiguous by screen Doctor Who previous to said composition.
