The Great Valley Guardian: I haven't considered starting a roleplay based on one of my fanfictions. I could, perhaps, but I wouldn't really know where to begin, nor would I know what fanfic to use. I could say Out of the Shadows, but due to it being an R story, not sure if it'll work, unless I were to try to keep the story PG-13 at least. And yeah I'm aware I'm not that active in roleplays. I apologize for that. I do try to keep active and I used to be more active in roleplays in general years ago, but lately it's become very hard for me to continue participating in an RP for very long, hence why I end up becoming inactive quickly. It's got nothing to do with the rp itself; I just can't keep myself active as well as I used to.
Alex: You mean DarkHououmon? It's the name of a very old character of mine, from either 1999 or 2000. Hououmon is the japanese name for Phoenixmon. I tacked on Dark in it, DarkHououmon, which is basically a recolored evil version of Hououmon (recolors are common even among canon digimon characters).DarkHououmon would translate to "Dark Phoenix Monster", while Hououmon just Phoenix Monster. I used the name for my FF.Net account and it's stuck ever since. I don't really use DarkHououmon as a character anymore, but I still continue to use the name as a username.
Edit: Whoops I didn't see your question, Rat_Lady.
Rat_Lady: I never really use the term "guilty pleasure" and have never really labeled anything as such. To me, nothing is a "guilty pleasure", it's just what you like. I think using the term "guilty pleasure" automatically labels something as "strange" or "weird", while unconsciously labeling something else "normal", which I think is a bit unfair. Sure we may not like all the same stuff, and that's normal. But I don't think it's fair for someone to label an interest a "guilty pleasure" simply because it doesn't fin in with the "norm" or is something they personally don't like.
