Three birds, one stone.

I know a lot of people are suffering to no end because of the inclement weather and for that I am sorry. I know people are probably stranded with cabin fever, maybe even without power (in which case, um, damn, son). But as bad as that is the people of Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation have been without power or water or heat for nearly two weeks. No, that's no typo.

I know people have been emptying their pockets for help_haiti, which just goes to show the power of fandom, but if anybody's got a few dollars left that that they might want to throw this way for Emergency Assistance (or here via Piryx) to help these people or could even just pass the message on to people that might be able to help that would just be amazing.

It will never cease to baffle me as to why people feel the need to read and comment on stories they clearly don't like. Is your 'back' button broken? Do you really think your rudeness is so invaluable? Why would you say 'I didn't really like this story, I don't think you're a really good writer, but whatever, I read it.' Or better yet, "Everybody said this was good, but I just don't agree." I just... what?

Can someone tell me where manners went to die, becuse I'd like to put flowers on their grave?

In less irritating news, since I missed this when it was going on, I'm doing it today:

Today has been declared lurker amnesty day (by me!) Have you read me but never commented? Do you surf by occasionally? Here for the ficinsanity? 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.

Oh, and since this is my all-inclusive post, anybody have the new Sade, Corrine Bailey Rae or Massive Attack albums to share? SCORE! Thanks sugargroupie and jcase!

I know lurker amnesty day is long past by now but since this post is still current... sort of...

Hello there! Here for the fic mostly. I thinks it's been ages, wow, years even. I don't even remember which fandom. It's been *that* long. So long that I no longer remember if it was fiction or social commentary that got me here in the first place.

But yeah... I'm mostly here for the fiction now. A fan of so much of your writing, most recently Merlin, Southland & GK of course. (Your praise is actually the reason I started watching those last two. So *thank you*.)

Outside of Buffy fandom when I first started out I tend to not treat LJ as an interactive medium but I thought I should after so long. So.. HI!

HI! *waves* Thanks for dropping in and introducing yourself and I'm glad you've enjoyed GK and Southland :)
