LURKER AMNESTY DAY!

[hackthis_archive]

I'm copying this word-for-word from the most awesome scribblinlenore and declaring today Lurker Amnesty Day! Read but never comment? Surf by occasionally? Here for the fic? Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just for that.

And, you know, if you aren't a lurker but want to say hello and amuse me, that would also make me happy! Amusement is always welcome.

ETA: If you are looking for something awesome in your life, why not try watching The Unusuals. ABC, 10pm, tonight (Wednesday). I offer Exhibits #1 and #2 for your consideration.

ETA#2: As I told sockich: I am so impressed by how many of you guys are all GENERATION KILL, YEAH! and SOUTHLAND, HOORAY! Seriously it's totally making my day.

Huh, looking at your memories, I was apparently reading you for a long time, through recs from crack_van and such! I remember reading various works-- the X-Men, and Entourage, and all the RPF, I think. Then I somehow ran into you around the Olympics, and screwed all my courage up because even though friending people scares the shit out of me, the urge to keep track of non-crazy people who liked Michael Phelps' abs was too strong. Then, Generation Kill. But anyway, I pretty much think you're awesome.

(Actually, the first clear memory I have of your journal was when you were yelling at Lush for bath-tub stain problems. Which utterly delighted me at the time, because I'd just used one of their bath bombs, and it left the tub looking like I had been enjoying nasty, nasty times with the Kool Aid Pitcher Man.)

I have this horrible, horrible feeling that Lurker Amnesty Day is over, which begs the question, what was the Amnesty from?

Oh, and hello, and thank you. Much like everybody else, you introduced me to Generation Kill (and also some other shiny things), but I think I will have to back into hiding, seeing as I missed the amnesty and all.

I'm pretty sure I originally found you through your OC fics, and I thought you were hilarious and made of awesome, so I friended you. Mostly I read your posts but don't comment, but I try to comment on the fic. Sometimes.

Lately, it's your fault (thank you!) for getting me into GK. I'm pretty sure no amount of gushing even from you will get me to watch Southland (the angst factor in just the commercials is not my cup of tea) but I enjoy your commentaries anyway.

And as for amusing you... I keep having flashes of Layla as a teen/young adult and having to introduce her significant other/s to her dads. "Now, don't freak out! They were Recon Marines but that was like forever ago. They're really just my dads, I swear!" I mean, really? Worst introduction potential ever. And that always makes me smile.

I watched Generation Kill a few weeks ago and LOVED it and the only reason it was even on my radar was your pimping when it first aired, so . . . THANK YOU!

I'm here for the Merlin fic. And also really shy. *waves*

I came here for Neville

And I never left. You have, however led me into new and shiny shows (and music, but I believe that will be the subject for next year's amnesty) I am totally enamoured of The Unusuals and Southland (I am also trying to reign in my massive crush on Aldis but, ya know?). My bandwidth says I will wait till Australia puts Generation Kill on cable to watch that one.

I am one of those people, who after for screwing up the courage to click 'add', proceeded to never actually comment on anything. Fail, self, faaaail. Have been following you since the SV/HP/OC days though and you can be pretty much credited with paving the way for me actually actively reading and enjoying RPF/RPS and probably having a more than working passive knowledge of GK/SOUTHLAND and what not (DVDs will be bought when I am baaaaaack in cheap DVDland aka Asia, and you are seriously like my primer to everything XD)

So uh, thank you for that! YOU ARE AWESOME, MADAME ♥

The Unusuals, huh? I might have to dl watch that. You have yet to recommend anything I haven't liked.

I mainlined Generation Kill in like 4 days and then bought the book and read that in a day or two and now I'm full of Southland love *g*

[doctor-denmark.livejournal.com]

Um, hi. I've been lurking here for a while. I blame you (in a very happy way) for my current obsession with Generation Kill and Southland.

Generation Kill especially. My cousin recommended it to me (he was a British Para who was in the first wave on invasion to Iraq and he loves the show so much) but I never watched it until you started talking about it and writing fic. Now I'm like an evangelist. I walk around asking people if they've ever thought about bringing the joy of a platoon of foul mouthed marines into their lives.

So, anyway, hi.

*delurks briefly*

Been here through multiple fandoms. Love your stories. Your journal is always very interesting to read as well.

Have a lovely week :)

[alixnoorchis.livejournal.com]

Hey. I usually stop by to check out your fic and comment occasionally. I'm so enamored of Southland right now that it's not even funny, so I'm thrilled to find you writing it. Thanks!

[outofcontinent.livejournal.com]

I'm coming up from under my rock to say that I've been lurking and reading your LJ for... too long for me to admit without sounding like a class A stalker. But I love your writing, and you have the most amazing ability to get me to believe in the possibility of the crackiest of your ideas. So thanks!

And now I'm going to crawl back under my rock. Don't mind me.

[susan-voight.livejournal.com]

I lurk. Pseudonymously.

I came ages ago for fic and stayed because you write interesting posts.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

*grins* I am totally here for the fic and to find out about awesome TV I should be watching (will watch in the summer when I have actual time). Southland is so on the list, btw.

[morceau.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm really digging the Unusuals, too!

[legens-legentis.livejournal.com]

Hello hello. I'm just here for the fic.

[confide.livejournal.com]

H-hello! I friended for the OC stuff and stuck around. Also, really enjoyed the Iron Man stuff.

[azdaja-dafema.livejournal.com]

Looking through these comments I keep seeing fandoms/interests that overlap, and yet I think I only realised around Merlin. And Generation Kill, which you got me into. And now I looked at your interests and see Elbow love, and duct tape (because it's love), and The Wire and feel compelled to just go FTW.

South! Land! South! Land! South! Land!

Excited who?

*waves flag happily*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yay for GK!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

HI! *waves*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

FOX sucks. I'm still mad they dropped KC. That was just so much fun. The Unusuals in TEH BOMB. I have to go get myself a Walsh icon. I'll be back.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

LOL. Ari loves you too.

Re: Hello

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you, and hi!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

LOL. So it would seem.
