that makes me glowy. I guess LJ itself is kind of like a big fandom cafe, in a way, but it's great that people to feel comfortable and welcome enough to just sort of drop by and hang out. ♥

This post has taught us all that if we, collectively as a fandom, were to create our own cafe, it would be the weirdest cafe in the history of existance.

me too. i wish there were some way we could make a place like this, even if it were just an online place. have a message board where we could talk about anything, a room full of fan-contributed STUFF, a music room, a book room, a you-name-it.

Then again, I guess that's sort of like livejournal itself, right? A girl can dream.

oOo Oh, wow, small world. I've seen you around on [info]svz_insanity's journal and she recced your gay-serial-killer-Fuji-go-CHINK post and yeeaah. ><; I was very amused. But then I decided to find H/D fics to read today and went to Astronomy Tower and clikced Aja because I'd read all your H/D stuff before and was wondering if you'd wrote anything new and clicked on 'The Sparrow Prince' and saw your email and I'm sure you didn't care to know in quite this much detail but there you go. ^_~.

So I'll now stalk you, don't mind me...

And despite going raburabu over the Karupin picture on your journal, I'll have to avert my eyes because ALAS and WOE but I loathe Tezuka. ::sigh:: But Fuji is shiny and makes the world go 'round. :D And Ryoma too.

Hi, Mei! I think it's so odd that you found me this way because I feel like I associate you almost TOTALLY with Prince of Tennis (and Hikago, yes? Maybe?), and did not even know that you were ever an H/D fan. Which just goes to show that I really, really need to pay more attention to my welcome post.

Anyway. HELLO FROM THE YEAR 2007. MAYBE WE CAN STAR IN THE LAKE HOUSE.. ♥

*facepalm* House Recs has so totally died over the summer! I blame myself for being totally besotted with Prince of Tennis, and for, er, letting it lead to other things. Like storming through Hikaru No Go, developing a J-pop fetish *wail*, and having someone prank my LJ out in boys with cat ears. This has been a truly bizarre summer for me. But I'm not complaining. :D

I'm so glad you said hi! I really really loved that fic, I'm still thinking about it an hour or so later. :D If you've written more Akira/Hikaru I'd love to read it. :)

Hi, I'm Sara and I've been lurking in your LJ for a while. Nice to meet ya. :)

I am so happy that you're into Prince of Tennis/anime now! I've liked it for a loong time and was estatic when you started to show interest in it. This can only bring very good (fanfiction related) things.

So hi, and I hope you don't mind that I've friended you.

If you want me to unlock something, just ask!

Seeing the anonymous loveletters meme reminded me of the entry where people commented with their stories of meeting their significant others, or their parents/friends stories, etc. I'm sort of in the mood to read them. Would you prettyplease unlock it for a little while? ♥
