Did I tell you that I watched Merlin?

I did. I watched it. I was not completely sober through the whole thing, but I think I got the gist. And as is usual with me, I have something to say about it, and about fandom migration, and about fandom patterns

I like your brain so much! And also I hope that fandom totally listens to you.

Not that, you know, I have seen _Merlin_. Or am really in fandom. But.

Also ps I was reading some of your fic today and it was awesome. Mostly I do not comment because my comment would go like this: Yay! And that is not very insightful or anything. But several times today you made me laugh out loud and that is very very hard to do. Otherwise please apply the following blanket comment: You are a great writer and you also write very good sex. The end.

You are just one of my favourite people, you know that? You're probably the only person non-fannish person I've met who gets that it's a kink like other kinks.

I'm kind of flattered and pleased that you read and enjoyed my fic! That means kind of really a lot to me.

But... didn't *everyone* write sixteen hundred marysues in their head when they were growing up? I dunno. Fic and fandom just seem so perfectly normal to me! I mean, I am not very good at fangirling, at least not for any length of time--but still. Surely the marysues just naturally turn to slash once one has grown up?

And yes, your fic is awesome! I am, again, not very good at reading any fic very regularly, but I occasionally read a bit of yours, and like it very much, and think, Oh! I should read more! And then don't, for ages, until I do.

But yes: The curtains (which I think I've actually read before)! And wossisname the Ecru. For serious, laughing out loud, which I never do. Also, you have restored my faith in threesomes.

I honestly feel like all good readers are fic/fandom people at heart, because you're right - we all do it if we have any imagination at all as kids, and then it turns into different desires when we get older.

Wow, you read that old Lord of the Rings story of mine? Aw! That's a reminder of the old days, of undergrad and the paint store. Bless. And, actually, the curtains one is ALSO paint store inspired, really.

Also, yay for faith in threesomes! I hope it was the Ronon/Rodney/Jennifer one where they have the kind of unlikely athletic position that was too hot to write differently. :)

Yes, it was that one! Pls to be seeing yer email for further comments. Although they got sort of ramble-y as I am getting tired (finally!).

Also! PS hi I miss you and hereby declare my intention to come visit you as soon as I can. However I think I need a passport first, now? And also a new job, otherwise I cannot afford any trips at all. But! Visit, I hope.

PS hi I miss you back come see me ANYTIME! Mark's coming down on the 17th, you should call him and catch a ride with him. Or else I'll have to come see you. It is a threat.
