Eight Years!

Eight years ago today, I thought, 'Well, you know, I could always just dip a toe into Fandom …' and opened an LJ account.

Countless hours of enjoyment later, I'm still here. Even if it has become just a little toe of late thanks to real life being a giant pain in the bum.

I have met amazing people, I have read beautiful words and enjoyed astonishing art. I've learned an enormous amount from all of you, most importantly that there are very good strangers on the internet, and a great many of them are in this corner of it.

I've still not finished the first fic I ever posted. It's very possible I never wil. Though I don't think I've finished with fanfic, even though I may never surpass what I think could be my greatest line: 'I had Muggles and masturbation and I traded them for you.'

Thank you to everyone who has friended me and brought kindness and joy with them, to every casual reader, to every commenter – I know, I AM awful at replying!, and to everyone who has let me befriend them. My life is better for each one of you. It was a good decision eight years ago. I've given myself a pat on the head for making it.

Happy LJ birthday! Mine was made in 2004, so it's 11 years old. It'd be going to Hogwarts come September if it was a wizard! (I just noticed that)

Just so you know, it's been a pleasure learning about your life and reading your wonderful stories too <3
