For Anyone Who Might Come Calling

I'm 43 and my f-list ranges from 18 (or lower; I don't ask) to mid fifties so you're not alone at all. The net's very good at stripping away a lot of the usual methods of judging people as we're all invisible behind our words; age, appearance, class, race, accent...all wiped away unless we choose to share them.

And appreciating the beauty of the Winchesters is just a matter of having eyes ;-)

And -- boy, oh, boy -- do I have eyes!

I like the way the internet "levels the playing ground" by eliminating whatever social judgments we all, consciously or not, make with our eyes. The only reason I know Supernatural skews young is that so many Author's Notes say "I really should be (reading about the Etruscans, memorizing cellular structure, preparing for that meeting with my Advisor tomorrow, etc.), but I'm posting fic instead!" (And if their scholarship is at the level of their writing craft, I'm sure they're all doing just fine with the academics.)

(And, ah! You're not quite old enough to have loved my first loves when first I loved them.)

(You write in almost every fandom I read; you betcha I've read your stuff. So, very belatedly, thank you!!!)

[janedavitt]

Very happy you've enjoyed the fics and thank you for reading them!

[litotease]

And since it was somebody other than you I actually made the "Spock and Illya" comment to, that line about "first loves" is pretty much a non sequitur, yes?
