this post,
greenet did an interaction meme (following the format "Comment and I'll tell you [insert item here] about you, thus saying something about both of us").* Normally, I can't do these when other people post them, although that doesn't stop me from trying; see, most of them require reciprocation ("post this in your journal"). I understand why;

Also: And we won't even talk about the sheets. Yick.
But you DID. *cries inconsolably*

And again I'm just really, really thrilled to hear that. (Is it specifically recs from me? Wouldn't, like, crack_van be better, because that has so many readers? And usually recommenders there post more detailed summaries and quotes, even. Or one of the mono-fandom obsessives? I would expect recs on those sites or journals to have way more cachet to them.)

You think you're inconsolable? I had to see those sheets. Not to mention live through the whole hideous scene. I'm surprised I didn't end up all insane and screaming and babbling incoherently, "The horror, oh the horror, oh for the love of god no." (Or, hmmm. Maybe I did. Could explain a lot.) I mean, people in Lovecraft stories do, and that was way worse than just some pathetic Cthulhu encounter.
Wimps.

Pretty much everything I know about any of the fandoms in which I'm even peripherally involved comes from something I've stumbled over in the course of blindly following some favorite writers around as they moved through Sithland (!) and Cascade en route to, say, Chicago/Tuktoyaktuk (and now to Atlantis). I've never gone searching for obsessively detailed sites (for various reasons having to do with not trusting fanatics, but that's another post); I've always gotten recs from friends. And the best friends from whom to get recs are the ones who write well themselves: who are funny, clear ( ... )
