What You Guys Have Been Up To

Recently, in FK on my LJ Friends List:

Susan's invitation

[greerwatson]

"...invited authors to drop by and list their stories, or clean up entries."

And have you taken Susan up on her invitation? I know you haven't, because we've got a page for you, you know. (I've tried posting the url twice, but LJ isn't playing ball. Something to do with having a period at the end of your pen name, and hence in the address; but LJ doesn't believe it.)

At the moment, there's actually very little on your Author page, not even a list of your stories. On the other hand, some of those do have their own Fan Fiction pages, as do a couple of your essays (in the Non-Fiction section, of course). Not that there's much on any of their pages, either.

So may I second Susan's invitation?

Thank you very much for the reminder. I had completely forgotten, between when I put Susan's post on my list, and when I posted the list!

I don't think Aristotle fans have a designation.

"I don't think Aristotle fans have a designation."

Not that I know of. Nor fans of Felix, either. Of course, that wouldn't necessarily have to stop you declaring a faction affiliation.

Philosophers?

As for Felix's fans: Feliksities? Happy Twisters?

Mind you, I'm flabbergasted by the pedestrian names of one or two of the factions. Why on earth are fans of Stonetree called "Stonetree-ites", when they could have called themselves "Stoners" or "Tree-huggers"?

Actually, I learned from lastscorpion a year or two ago -- and it was news to me, but made perfect sense -- that the original name of Stonetree's faction was the "Scorpions," from that scene in "Dark Knight" in which Stonetree warns Schanke off the vampire angle by recounting a Southwestern legend about scorpions. lastscorpion, who was a first-season fan, was the only person ever to take up Stonetree's mantle as her primary faction, and so her faction got forgotten.

I need a "Captains" icon... :-)

OK, settle this for me: Was Stonetree Native American as a character, but they just never mentioned it?

Think about it.
