I know there are lots of people in my flist who read/write online. I have a serious request for you: can you please either direct me to any relevant communities or (better yet) post this piece in them:
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/US/10/24/teen.jane.doe/ It's about a teenage girl who was found two weeks ago wandering in New York. She says she doesn't remember who she is or where she came from but she has written down and reacted to the name "Amber". She also remembered a passage from
robin-hobb's "Fool's Fate". Because of this, the news story has been circulating the various Hobb communities and boards. But she also remembers she's been writing a fantasy story of her own that features a heroine named Rian, "who's been raised by the commander of the guard post on the edge of a fantasy kingdom". There's a picture of her in the above CNN post and some more details.
If she's been active in the fandom at all, SOMEONE must know who she is. Maybe she's participated in a fic challenge, or a NaNoWriMo group or a story community. Please repost/retweet/link to that article as much as possible, or let me know if you can think of a LJ community where people might recognize her (if for some reason you don't want to post it yourself). Thank you.
//ETA:
She's been identified! :)
