Distraction 103

[hackthis_archive]

It's less than two weeks to the deadline to sign up to vote in the upcoming US election. I don't care if you don't normally vote or you think it doesn't matter (we can debate that another day) or if you're hiding out in a Canadian shack, please, I am begging you, it's more important to vote in this election than any other you might experience in your entire lifetime, for your sake, for the sake of your family and your job and your tax dollars and your uterus, or your sister's uterus or your daughter's uterus or for that brother you have in the military or the ex-boyfriend who went overseas, so please sign up to vote. Rock that Vote on November 4th. This is your time; have your say. So help me gay baby

Great idea for a poll!

I actually think I met you in PotC, ages ago, then we unfriended each other, and then came back for Heroes. And now you'll never get rid of me, BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I mean, I'm glad we reconnected! *g*

[zoniduck.livejournal.com]

I don't even remember. I don't think it was Buffy, but I can't decide if it was Harry Potter or LotRiPS. The only thing I'm relatively sure of is that it was circe_tigana and/or anniesj who led me to you.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Actually, darlin' I never did PotC so you prolly have me confused with someone else, but I do know we connected over Heroes, that fandom which dare not speak its name. I dunno how you do it; it's dead to me now.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Uh...wasn't it X-Men? Yes? I remember beta'ing a story for you and you spelled Wachowski wrong. But maybe that was Smallville? Oh, the years...!

[syrenslure.livejournal.com]

I met you through Lar back in the Buffy days before I became (even more of ) a fandom whore. I hang around because you have awesome taste in music, and write awesome stories, even though we only have Buffy, Heroes, and HP in common, and not always the same preferences.


Oh, and Iron Man, too, right? because RDJ has always rocked.

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

Oh, huh, maybe not then.

Heroes is pretty dead to me too. I gave it yet another chance this season and it really didn't work out.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I don't even know anybody named Wachowski! You just appeared one day like the angel... oh what the fuck ever, I have a beta favor to ask of you anyway, you just reminded me. I will holler at you on e-mail.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

And you've been cursing them every since, I totally understand.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Dude, as in the Matrix directors. No wonder you couldn't spell it!

(I am packed with work until late afternoon, fyi.)

[notpoetry.livejournal.com]

Your, uh, Stephen Colbert/Mike Rowe fic. Hee.

And then you wrote something about Keith Olbermann one time and I said, "oh! Golly! She's swell," and friended you.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

After that... that thing last season it just died. Like I took it out in the front yard and burned it. Figuratively. I knew it was dead, because that buzz started up about it coming back '...it's better... they're sorry' and all I could think was 'that asshole told me I was WATCHING IT WRONG!' Fuck that noise.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

LAR! TONY! Yes, how excited am I that it's coming out on DVD tomorrow? So excited, like I don't even have words. :) Also, HI!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no, it's not that kind of beta. Like I said I'll holler at you.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

ah, okay then.

[zoniduck.livejournal.com]

God, you don't even know. If I did an entry in the new OTW Wiki, it would be all about how those two led me astray.

First fanfic = anniesj (The Last Summer, in case you're wondering)
First slash = anniesj again
First LotRiPS = circe_tigana via anniesj
First HP = circe_tigana

Pretty much every other one of my fandoms have been acquired through people I met in fandoms that Annie and Circe got me hooked on. It's a slippery slope, my friend. A slippery slope, indeed.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I swear I didn't think anybody else would go for Stephen/Mike besides me, so I'm glad you liked. I wish I had written the Keith/Anderson story I'm pretty sure you're referring to, but alas, I just recommended it, that was all scrunchy

[girlandetc.livejournal.com]

me too! i miss annie :( i also miss lotrips haha. good times.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Lost, baby! I loved Sawyer. You loved Locke. I should have known you were trouble from that fact alone.

[ninasis.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure it was Smallville when I first found you. And I doubt you'll ever be rid of me, unless you send ninja assassins after me. *g*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I was going to put Lost in there, but they didn't give me enough thingys! Also, I has B&N pron to read, but I am waiting b/c work is just... I need to have something to look forward too.

Have you seen 6 yet? You are KILLING ME

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

hp or lotrips - not sure which came first (in my coming across you, I mean).

♥

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Tonight is for 6, I promise. It will be my celebration from being free from the tyranny of Heroes.

It's Rosh Hashana, what are you doing work for?

And now I'm imagining Brad introducing Nate to the joys of Jewish holidays.

Apples + honey + Brad + Nate = I need to go think about that for a bit.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ninjas are the BEST! :)

[bessemerprocess.livejournal.com]

Someone pointed me to your George/Anderson happiness, and I've spent the last couple weeks or so reading everything. It was sort of half Ari, half Olympics that got me.

[artemis-rain.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty much a lurker here. Showed up for your Heroes fic, and have been tremendously entertained by your posts ever since.

Oh, Heroes. Whatever happens, we'll always have season 1.
