Oh, Scott Lynch, how do I love you? Let me count the ways!

1 - YOU DON'T CAPITALIZE GOD IN YOUR LJ. This is a huge, huge thing for me. I don't capitalize god either, and sometimes people get pissy at me. YAY YOU.

2 - On a similar note, you list atheism as one of your interests. HELL YES.

3 - Other interests of yours that make you awesome: age of sail, British television, brunettes, Dark Tower (EEE!!!), Firefly, geek women, George R. R. Martin, Ian Mckellen, Neil Gaiman, Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, and Tolkien.

4 - YOU EVEN HAVE A LIVEJOURNAL. THAT HAS OVER 900 ENTRIES.

5 - You posted on inauguration day about how fucking happy you were to see Bush leave office. YAY YOU.

6 - You find the thought of fanfic about your work "immensely flattering."

7 - You named your main character after a Final Fantasy character. That's just awesome.

8 - You'll sign my book if I mail it to you. That's...I have no other word...AWESOME.

9 - You collect old Choose Your Own Adventure novels!

10 - Finally, and most importantly: you are an absolutely fantastic writer. You make my heart pound with excitement. You make me laugh and cry. You take me away from the world for a while, to visit your beautiful, interesting, meticulously crafted one.

YOU. ARE. AWESOME.
