I answered it in her eljay, so I guess that means it's my turn.
Pretend for a minute that the only contact you have ever had with me is through my fic. We've never exchanged LJ comments or emails, never hung out in chat or on IM, never talked on the phone or met each other at a convention, none of that stuff. The only thing you know about me is the kind of fic I write. Based on the way I write my characters, and the way they speak, think, and behave, what does that say to you about what kind of person I am, my attitudes and opinions about real-life issues?

Intelligent, of course, but the best thing about your fic is that your intelligence doesn't show in big words or flowery diction, it shows in smart dialogue and realistic characterization. People talk like people talk and act how people act. Overall, very smart. And very intimidating because of it. ;)

I find it amusing when people consider me intimidating. I mean, most do. I just can't always seem to figure out why, though perhaps the glare & the snarkiness in person might have something to do with that. Hrm. Just a theory, mind you.
