I was really excited to attend the Chicago meet up and got to thinking that I'd finally be among my own peeps. That said, I thought about how we were probably alike and I set out to make a list. Sadly I didn't get to share this with the class there as we were all rather busy the two days I attended, so I wanted to share with the whole class here on the web.

I hope this will make you laugh. Please don't hesitate to review with your own additions to the list. I will start with ten, listed in no particular order of importance.

When you read or hear the name James, you suspect he may be a villain.

Women named Tanya or Lauren are probably sluts.

You half red werds mispeled so meny rong wheys your knot exactly shore witch is write anymore.

You're genuinely pleased and impressed when the author uses their, they're and there correctly.

Fragments. They happen. Frequently. And you're okay with it.

You're not only a sucker for a happily-ever-after story you get pissed when you're duped.

Your husband thinks you're nuts but appreciates the knowledge you've gained from reading juicy lemons in stories.

You seriously considered, even if just for a moment, naming your child or pet after a Twilight character.

You read so many different stories that when you get an update it often takes a couple paragraphs to figure out exactly which story you're reading.

Almost no one in your real life knows you read and or write fan fiction.

***I'm editing because I got another one sent by an awesome reviewer: "If you dream about a story."

And I thought of one more: You've read so many stories of deflowering virgins you're starting to think it's a bit overdone (I wrote one, too, so I'm laughing at myself here! *big winking smile*)

Got another one? Drop me a line, I'd love to read it. xo Chatterbox33
