Hi guys I hope it's OK if I join Very Happy

I have a very special childhood memory of Aladdin. See when I was a kid I was scared to deeath od swallowing pills, so when I was sick and needed antibiotics I had to take it in fluid form and needless to say it was disgusting so I could only take really tiny sips at a time and it usually took me like 2 hours to finish the whole thing. Sad

Anyway, this one time when I had to take antibiotics, my mom bougth the comic version of the movie (this was before i'd seen the movie) so I could read a page or so as comfort between every sip and that's how I got to know Al & co Razz

That's a nice story Shoujo. I hated fluid medicine too when I was a kid specially those against coughs. Yuck. My story is also about the comic adaption but I read it in the Donald Duck comic magazine. A few pages where published every week spreading it out over two months. I've never been so exicted about a comic.

It was terrible but Al helped me get through Smile

And when I wasn't taking medicine I was in the sofa watching Disney movies. What would all ill kids do without Disney eh?

I don't ever remember watching Aladdin when I was little... I DID watch it a million times but I can't remember exactly when... I was 7 years old or something when it came out and unlike many of the people on here I can't remember a damn thing from my childhood =)

So anyways, this semester (I go to ASU, Arizona State University) I got assigned this stupid project for one of my classes which involved a lot of paper mache LOL... which meant a lot of time spent in my apartment doing something that didn't need my full attention, which ALSO meant I could actually watch TV or a movie for once!! (I barely ever watch TV anymore and I never have time for movies... there's work and studying to be done!)

So I went to Target (I heart that store!) and bought the DVD about 3 weeks ago (This really cute guy doing my check out said "Aladdin? This movie is kickass!" and then something about coming over to watch it with me... totally funny way to hit on a girl lol). Needless to say I put the movie in and started paper macheing but the movie instantly caught my full attention and I ended up sitting on my couch totally enthralled!!

About 3/4's of the way through my brother came home and made me start it over from the beginning haha

Number one reason I loved it so much is I'm a TOTAL romantic! When I was young (like middle school-high school) I liked Sailor Moon (like everyone else!) and secretly read a bunch of fanfics after my family was asleep =)

The only other times I went looking for fanfics to read was after watching Pride & Prejudice (the most recent one... I absolutely LOVE that movie!) and reading Harry Potter...

So anyways, back to my story... I ended up watching Aladdin like 3 more times that week! Forced two of my guys friends into watching it with me and my boyfriend back home in SD has already promised to watch it with me when I'm home for spring break! =)

I think the number two reason I loved it was that there were so many things I missed as a kid... heck I barely even remembered the storyline! I had no clue the movie was so centered on the lovestory part! (Which I LOVE!)

The next week I went on amazon.com and ordered RoJ and KoT, going on that one really popular website (Agrabah Library or something?) to read fanfic about Al and Jas till my movies got here. I liked them too but not as much as the original movie!

To sum it all up I'm on here because I can't get enough of Al-Jas love and I reallllllllllllllllly want to read more fanfics about them! I haven't found very many at all =( and I would take the time to write them myself but I don't have that time and what's the fun in reading something you've already written???

K I've typed enough =)

I think I've already read those two 'cause I remember seeing them somewhere! I'm gonna go look now and find out for sure and let you know =)

I'm a fast reader though so I absolutely love long stories!! The longer the better because then I don't have to spend time finding others! If I could go out and buy Aladdin and Jasmine fanfiction novels I totally would =)

When I was little I was more of TLM fan, than Aladdin. I didn't even know about it before I was 11.

I first read the story from my princess story collection book (I don't know it's original title. Its cover is pink and it has the six princesses stories: Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin) and I read it because it was after TLM. I really liked it and I wanted to watch the movie. I first found the second movie on VHS and I did like it (today I don't really like it, but I don't hate it) but I still wanted to watch the first movie. It turned out that we have on DVD and after the first watch my whole life changed. I loved it so much, though I didn't get all the jokes (I still don't get some of Genie's transformations, but it because I'm not American). I watched the film everyday after school (mostly from the part when Genie comes in) and I listened the songs whenever I had time.

At the end of school (4th grade) I brought the movie into the class to watch it and everyone said how childish to love this and other things and it really hurt me and I started to hate Aladdin. I had a big fallout for 2-3 years (I don't hate that period of my life though. That was the time I started to watch animes and I still love some of them) and I didn't wanted to see it again.

Near to my 14th birthday (Oct. 5) on the new Disney Channel they played Aladdin again and I watched it, give it another chance and I became a big fan of it again. I watched the movies, then some episodes I found in Hungarian and the rest of the series in English then the movies as well. Genie has become one of my favorite character of all time (I love both Robin Williams and Mikó István voicing him) and just the whole franchise enchanted me.

Since then Aladdin means a lot to me. I've got interested in fantasy stories not just on child level, I started to read Magi (and I found my favourite female character, Morgiana) and I started to make stories (even if I have them just in my head). It inspires me a lot and my biggest own story was originally a fanfic for Aladdin and a lot of characters and ideas of mine are come from creating some stories for the Aladdinverse. For me, Aladdin is my muse (For some people Harry Potter or LoTR, for me Aladdin. Great Zita, just great. Perfect basic thing for fantasy stories Rolling Eyes

).

I don't have anything related to Aladdin in my home and I don't really speak about it. I know that for a lot of people this is just a Disney movie and nothing more. I only met one fan (Hungarian) on the internet recently and she's more of a Malcho fan than for the whole franchise. I'm okay with it. Sure I would like to talk about it (that's why I made a blog for it and registered here) but I think I've got use to not talking about things I really like (like animes and mangas). I love it from the very core of my heart and that's all I need. I can live without dolls or anything like that.

Sorry if my English is not good.
