Today is my second LJ anniversary. ::beams:: I can tell when the date is coming near because it always seems to coincide with massive kerfuffles.

I found LJ through redeem147 who referred to open_on_sunday drabble challenges over at Spike's Salvation. Through LJ, I've gotten to know people I would otherwise never have met, read fics I would otherwise never have known existed, and generally just enjoyed myself most thoroughly. It's a good place to be and I'm so very happy to be here. Thanks, Colleen, for pointing the way.

In the spirit of promoting all that is right about fandom, and also in support of Fanfic Author Appreciation Week, I share with you now three authors I've discovered in this past year:

sockmonkeyhere writes wonderful post-NFA Spred, the return of Oz, and some of the best OCs ever. No, really, ever.

st_salieri writes thoughtful, observant, completely believable Spuffy and has a knack for getting the character voices just right.

Several weeks ago, I had a dream in which I was Kaylee and having an affair with Jayne. It was a nice dream. :-) It left me with a hankering and I went in search of Jaylee fics and discovered wily_one24. If Jaylee is your thing, check her out.

Go thou forth and read. And celebrate fandom, for it is good.

Happy anniversary! :) And where are all these kerfuffles? I hear of them, but dunno what's going on. ::lives in happy LaLa Land::

Thanks!

LaLa Land is the place to be these days. If you really want to get in on the kerfuffliness, go to glossing's and janedavitt's journals - that'll get you started.

Whee, happy anniversary! I haven't read my Flist for a couple of days so was going to say 'oo, kerfuffles? What's that about?' Then I saw this and realised I didn't need to ask. ::buys a condo in LaLa Land::

::moves in next door to you::

Which, actually, would be fun. :-)

I didn't know. Glad I could make your life better :)

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

I'm glad too. :-) Took me a bit of searching to find out just exactly what Open_On_Sunday was, but I managed (obviously) in the end.

Looking forward to seeing you at WriterCon!

Wow, thank you for that wonderful compliment, desoto! I feel honored. I love your stories, too, and you're one of the authors I've discovered in this past year and rec'd on my LJ for Author Appreciation Week, too!

You deserve many compliments - I loved Canis Familiar. And thanks for the rec! ::squees::

Happy LJ anniversary! And thank you so much for the rec. You're very sweet. :)

Thanks! And the rec is totally deserved - I love your fics. :-)
