Shameless, yes, but I can't resist either.

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 YM, never talked on the phone or met each other in person, none of that stuff. The only thing you know about me is the kind of fic I write.

What kind of person would you think I am? How would you describe my attitudes and opinions about real-life issues? Or, to use the rephrased question:

Based on the way I write my characters, and the way they speak, think, and behave, what would that say to you about my attitudes and opinions about real-life issues?

What kind of person would you think I am?

I would think of you as a calm person, as well as an “adult”, but not in that “xxx” way, bu that knowing way- like the character who’s sitting in the background, observing, always knowing what’s really going on. Someone who would enjoy a nice glass of wine on an evening, and who would be very comfortable alone or with a small group of close good friends.

Based on the way I write my characters, and the way they speak, think, and behave, what would that say to you about my attitudes and opinions about real-life issues?

And just like with that knowing-adult way, I would say that you would understand what’s inevitable, what’s possibly changeable, and what needs to be accepted as a part of life.

And now you have me wishing I was the person who wrote my fics. ^_^

I have the impression of you as someone calm, balanced, and very well-read in the way that I wish I was; actually nowing the stuff you talk about, rather than simply being a dilettante in the way that I am. Mature. Adult.

I would think you're the type of person I wish I was. Which is how I think of you in real life anyway =)

To be more specific, and to echo incandescens, mature, balanced, extremely well-read; experienced, self-assured, knowledgeable. All the good things I hope to be when if I grow up.
