...that saying this will cause you to speculate on where I've been reading. But it also occurs to methat the urge to talk about the CAPTCHA we're given when posting an anonymous comment is very like the urge to talk about the dream we had last night ( Read more... )

accioslash has a happy-making discussion where she asks how we discovered fandom. I know some of you have already shared over there (&hearts!), but for everybody else: how did you get here? Make your own post if you'd rather meme it. :)
