woop woop

Six years ago today, [livejournal.com profile] aesc came into the world.

I think it was Aja who invited me to join, because it's where all the cool kids had started hanging out, back in the day when plain-text emails on Yahoogroups had started to lose their appeal. It was sort of amazing, thinking that I could format for italics, instead of doing the ** for emphasis. Heh, it's funny, a review of "Scrap of Humanity," which was written during the pre-HTML period, complains about the asterisk!italics, and I've always wanted to ask if this person was ever in fandom in the days before HTML-capable email or before fanfiction.net gave the option to format text.

Anyway. It's pretty amazing, thinking of all the cool people I've met in my time here, like [livejournal.com profile] cedarlibrarian and her totally awesome parents, [livejournal.com profile] mrkinch who put up with me on a very long road trip to Boston, [livejournal.com profile] dogeared who is just as lovely in person, [livejournal.com profile] smilla02 who took in a more or less complete stranger for a week (and, I suppose, I have to include her husband *g*), [livejournal.com profile] le_mot_mo who also loves Austen... And all of you I've yet to meet, especially [livejournal.com profile] ashkitty and [livejournal.com profile] haydenthorne, whom I've known forever, and means you [livejournal.com profile] sheafrotherdon and [livejournal.com profile] siriaeve and [livejournal.com profile] amberlynne (who still needs smooches for the Hewlett!panda). And so many more; I'm not the most social, get-out-and-meet-everyone person, but I seriously, seriously would not mind it if any of you happened to wander into my life in corporeal form. Why?

You are all really, really cool, talented, smart people, and we need more of you in the world ♥♥♥

happy lj-versary :) you probably don't know this, but I knew of you before I came to LJ and even heard of SGA. Know a little fandom called Gundam Wing? and then i came to lj and saw you stories and art, and learned that it was you that wrote those lovely stories. :)

Ohhhhh my goodness, yes :D Wow, I was still in undergrad when I was in GW fandom--it got me through my last two years of my degree!

Thank goodness you came "into the world"...

*Raises glass to getting to see more of your amazing fic and art, and getting to know you better, in the year ahead.:)*

I feel lucky to share a fandom with you.:)

♥♥♥!! Fandom is so good for meeting awesome people, but I think SGA has been the best... I feel so fortunate to have met so many great, talented, generous people (you know, like you) here ♥

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2008-11-11 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
HURRAH!

Ohhh yes! And the days before you could customize your LJ layout beyond changing the colors... Oh, how it changes! It's good to know that some things are constant *hugs you!*
