*hangs head* I went ahead and signed up for hc_bingo because I have NO WILLPOWER AT ALL.

disappearing	cages	driven to insanity	mutation	fever / delirium
de-age (mental)	ghosts and hauntings	wings (always there) *FILLED*	agoraphobia	fear of flying
captivity	arachnaphobia	WILD CARD	embarrassment	accidents
nervous breakdown	werewolves: accidental mating for life w/ inappropriate person	caught in a robbery	rape / recovery	bullet wounds
domestic abuse (emotional)	self-harm	alcoholism	undercover: having to participate in illegal / hurtful activity	fear of heights

... wow. Some of these are going to be hard for me. XD Actually, I think some of them might be damned near impossible, without tipping over into a level of woobification that is really, really hard for me to write.

The idea of trying to do some of these in SGA cracks me up utterly. (On the other hand, a few of them are made for it!)

Well, I do struggle with whether it's the right thing to do or not. But I guess one of the things I've really appreciated about fandom is that it's made it easier for me to embrace this side of myself (including finally acknowledging that I actually am disabled, and it's a pretty deep part of my psyche, and it's not going away), and I'm not about to risk toppling that delicate balance. So, yeah -- recognize that my posts on hc_bingo (now and, probably, future) don't mean that I'm totally unaware of the issues there, just that it's not really something I can process right now. :)

It's completely the right thing to do! You get to protect your sanity first and foremost. And everyone has times when they can't participate in a given fannish discussion, and it's much better to know it than to dive in, hurt yourself, and explode messily all over the place *g*.

I wouldn't have thought that anyway, and FWIW I didn't give you the link because I thought you'd write clueless or offensive stories; I linked it because I thought you might be interested.

(Also, if you feel like doing "nervous breakdown" or "driven to insanity" and want an, er, professional opinion, I would be more than happy to be consulted *g* especially if there are inappropriate werewolves.)

Or totally appropriate werewolves, in the case of Being Human! *g* And yeah, I didn't get the idea that the link was pointed at me for any specific reason other than you thought I would be interested, and I do appreciate it.

And I really appreciate the offer; thank you. :) Some of the squares (most of the mental health ones; the rape one) I wasn't planning on tackling at all unless I could come up with a scenario that wouldn't be painfully inappropriate -- well, okay, that's true of all of them, but some are easier than others. (I actually do have more than a little experience to draw on for the mental health squares, too, which I think is another reason why those were going to be difficult for me to write, if I tackled them at all.)
