Meme post one
Leochi picked me among her 10 lj people who make my day list. The rules are simple, if picked, make your own list of lj people who make your day (previously done lists count!) Except there is no way I can name just 10 people. You're all too amazing. So I am shamelessly cheating and have 10 groups and even then I am leaving out many people who should be here.
anthimaeria and jadzialove: I genuinely find it hard to remember that I don't see you two regularly in real life. In addition to being compassionate, funny and thoughtful, you write with wit and style, and you both have great hair.
dumbys_baby : you have a group of your own because I actually do see you regularly. You're just lovely in every way, and I hope everything goes smoothly at Easter. Write more fic, dammit.
sansa1970, bryoneybrynn, calanthe_fics and nqdonne: you all started off as just writers I liked (and the first three of you have also been huge influences), and then became friends I look forward to chatting to. I hope that all the things in your lives that are causing you stress and difficulty resolve themselves smoothly and swiftly.
house_illrepute, shiv5468 and pir8fancier: I nod so much at your posts that sometimes I feel a tiny bit stalkerish. I'd like to point out that if I were a stalker, I would be the type that comes bearing quality alcohol or handspun alpaca and knocks off at 5.30pm.
lackofmendacity, thady and romaine24: you three are kind, gentle and gracious, which are old-fashioned qualities but ones the world is in desperate need of.
leochi, djinniyah, and lillithium: as people, you all make me smile. But as artists you change the way that I look at HP and make me think about my writing in ways that I never would without you.
pushdragon and snottygrrl , we WILL hang out in person in the next few months, dammit. I am not enduring the idiocy of this year without meeting people I know I already like.
bubblegumlocks, emerald_dragon8, and slian_martreb: it's been a while since I was a young person, but the three of you remind me of what it was like. You all have so much fortitude and ability. Even when things seem crap, I know that your futures will be shiny, because you all are.
grey_hunter, winstonmom and daisy_chan: you three take time out from your own work to regularly encourage the work of others. You are examples that I am trying to follow more closely.
frayach, furiosity and fourth_rose , you are the three whose stories and updates make me late for work. This month has been rubbish since you are all otherwise occupied (mostly -- off to finish Interregnum next!). If I ran the universe you would have large fic stipends and comfy chairs. It helps that you all seem to be the sort of people I would cheerfully hang out with.

I really like Titus Andronicus, and it's all about rape, incest and cannibalism. If the squick is good enough for Shakespeare ...

There used to be an lj comm that dissected fics like that forget what it was called, thankfully. Basically, a fic was picked and the members all read it, then pulled it apart through discussion threads. One of my fics was going to be discussed although it never happened and you know what? I'm thankful it didn't. There was someone in the group of people I didn't like - someone who had little respect for the feelings of others - and I know I would have felt flamed in the worst way had they done to my fic what they'd done to others. I'm afraid I think there aren't many people who a) could be a reasoning adult once they're part of a group, members of which are baying for blood, and b) take that kind of criticism without wanting to die because of it.

I don't think I've ever resented a book. Actually, no, I resented that book about the vampire "mommy" with bad soft porn and Celtic stereotypes. Just once I would like to see an Irish vampire with hygiene issues, bad teeth and an obsession with his mother.
Yes, for a comm like that to work you would need people on both sides to have the best of wills. LJ is not the best environment to encourage it ... But there is no excuse for capslock rage!
