A Sign Of Things To Come

[ithildin]

See? I make my first rec post to hl_recs and I screw it up. I didn't realize I wouldn't be able to go back and edit the tags because it's a moderated community, so my first post is missing tags altogether [sighs]

I'm sure this is like breaking a virtual mirror or something.

BTW, did I mention? I'm the reccer for the month of April. Something of an April Fools joke on myself, I'm beginning to think :)

Oh, jeez. Ith had to bring up my old FK fandom nick. I'm so embarrassed by that! Because, you know, Havoc is less pretentious than Bast. ;)

Nah, I remember you mostly from Highlander fandom. You did the Lyric Wheel stuff, right? I was pretty much out of FK by the time you stopped lurking, but I was a NatPacker back in the day.

You're "Bast"? Wow! I didn't know. I might've guessed with the cat part.

I met you in person once and stayed in your dorm and we went to someone's FK party. Some big name fan went and had her expensive "GWD wore this shirt" souvenir she brought that had fake bullet holes and everything.

[snorfle] This is like 'This Is Your Life' -- though I'm sure I'm dating myself with that reference :)

OMG! I remember you! You went by Idalia then, didn't you? I had such fun that weekend, but I kind of cut ties with FK fandom after some debacles during it's slow, painful implosion.

(Do you mind terribly if I friend you? Though I'm afraid half my posts these days are either RL boring or My Not So Amazing Adventures In Gateverse Fandom.)

No, friend away! ^_^

I still go by Idalia on some mailing lists I'm on, oddly enough, but then I started using Miyeko on other online things a few years ago.

*butts in and waves like a maniac at Bast and Idalia (and Ith, of course). Y'all know me by a different name; I used to use my real name in FK fandom, and I keep it stringently separate from this ID so somebody doesn't Google one of my professional papers and end up finding my hobbit slash instead. :-) But I was an IRC regular, an ardent Vaquera (and secondary N&N-er), and a V4S author, and I still pimp FK to anybody who'll listen, any chance I get!

Mel (Red, Cyberred) is here on LJ, as are Jamie Melody Randell, Susan Garrett, Laurie Salopek, Kristen Fife, and probably half the rest of the old FORKNI list, if I only knew the nicknames.

If you want to know my real name, email me, and I'll tell you. And if you haven't already, join fk_freaks!

Oh, dear. Hi! I sent you a PM instead of an e-mail.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Me too!

The FKers (that I know about)I have on my f'list are Mel, Evil Tammy, Shirl, Margie, Bast, Idalia, Laurie, you, and Ninjababe. And there a couple like you who I know I knew, but don't recall what they went by on list.

Yeah, the lyric wheel was me.
