Well, my girlfriend totally squee'd over your Regulus-Time-Turner fic. And I remember reading some of your stuff in the past, and being impressed. I'm just another fannish squeeful person, like any other in fandom. That's all. And now I remember that conversation I had with you about the Eclipse review. Seriously, I don't limit my friends. If you're in fandom, and you slash, then that's a good enough start for me! We're all just a giggly bunch of slashy fangirls, yes? :)

And I wasn't kidding when I told Ambeon to just WRITE. I've seen so many people act as if writing H/D were something restricted to only the great and powerful, which is ridiculous. If you have a fic idea, and it's powerful enough, just write, and the rest will take care of itself. I remember when I couldn't get people to read my fic if I BEGGED. It all started with a plot bunny, a prologue, and the determination that I WOULD write the best damn H/D fic that I could. I'm not a writer. I'm a biologist. But I can write, and I can be creative. That's all it takes. :)

You should really, honestly, be a motivational speaker on the topic! :D Thanks so much for being truly, amazingly, down to earth and great. I can't wait for next year to hang out with you guys without the fangirl shell. :D

LOL... I dunno about motivational speaker, but it's one of my big things... I hate elitism in fandom. I always have. I mean, there will always be more popular fics, writers, and artists, but they're not celebrities, and they're no more important than anyone else. People need to understand that, relax, and just enjoy the community of fandom. :D

And yes, I can't want to hang out with you next year, without "fangirl barriers", as it were. I just wanna hang out, talk slash, and have fun.

And btw... I love the kitty icon. :D

I just came back to this post thanks to scarlett's sticky, and now I've actually got tears in my eyes. Oh, Prophecy! I'm the user formerly known as ambeon, btw, hahah i'm not sure if you knew that Mijan!

I don't think I ever got to properly thank you for the pep talk you gave me, it was really lovely and inspirational coming from such an amazing author, to little me! (who had at the time written absolutely nothing and was just getting into fandom)

Even now, what I have written and posted isn't much good, but hey, I'm getting myself out there! I still have trouble writing and getting ideas, but I'm working on a chaptered fic which I wrote the prologue to not long ago... it was meant to be a drabble, but I ended up liking it so much and got so many bunnies that it's now turned into a 3-page-long post-DH and epilogue-compliant timeline. lol! Maybe you'll see that sometime soon.

In any case - thank you so much and I cannot wait to see you all again and drabble with you at Terminus! *flails* <3<3
