I’m dreaming about having arguments with Lex.

I’m working so hard I can barely blink.

I should not be diverting from the fifteen thousand things that have to be done in the next two hours, and yet, when

jennyo mentioned something about Fandom Appreciation it struck that 'that's a good idea that is' chord.

So. First and foremost, I have to thank

obsessedmuch because this is the LJ that she built. Plus, she listens to me whinge and plot the deaths of many lesser beings. I adore you muchly for lots o’reasons. While on the subject of building LJ’s: big thanks to

blunaris for building Advanced Sarcasm from whence sprung Lost Highway (in a bastardized sort of way).

In the Angel/BtVS camp I’d like to send big shout outs to:

jess79 for always bringing the intelligent conversation, and of course, icons! (There’s gonna be a lot of thanking for the icon thing, maybe I should get that out of the way next.) Anyhoo, to

transtempts for making me think about shit nobody ever makes me think about. To

wyoluvr for believing that wine is, in fact, another food group, and to

minitrog for in fact *knowing* that it is.

To everybody who’s made me icons:

slodwick,

obsessedmuch,

jess79,

spasticat,

rosenho,

latxcvi,

evil_man,

edigo,

karone,

anatsuno,

karabou,

lux__aeterna,

pandarus,

andariell,

addictedkitten,

frenchhippie,

plum_evil,

esorlehcar,

taraljc and anybody I forgot, I assure you it’s not because I’m ungrateful.

In the SV camp: I’d like to thank

happyminion for always bringing the happy, and the funny and well, pretty much bringing everything to the party. But of course I can’t mention Mom #1 without mentioning Mom #2, so to

rosenho for writing with style and class and being a brilliant part of fandom. Cheers. To

slodwick who has skillz (yes, with a Z) for days, here’s looking at you, I have not forgotten about the Lex/Lucas. While we’re talking about people with skills this is also a good time for me to mention my benefactress, Miss

latxcvi, because as I said the other day, she’s like Cliff’s Notes, the Slashy version. I just can’t go without her intelligent ‘double word’ commentary.

Next I come to

tstar78 who’s much like Wendi in bringing the happy, but with her own style that I appreciate a million times over, cos dude, yeah she’s good like that. And if I mention Caro, gotta mention

bexless cos you know, peas and pods and other stuff. Bex, brought me the Super Bullet Sneeze and snape/lockhart goodness for which I adore her. But she’s cute as hell too, which really doesn’t hurt.

I’d also like to thank:

aelita,

meret,

ladyvyola,

fleegull,

edie22,

nopejr,

siobhan_w,

christinefic,

corinna_5,

dameangel,

earthseed,

goss,

lavita,

rhiannonhero,

shellah,

thehoyden,

weredonut and

velvetglove for comments and feedback, and in general insuring that I continue to heap my wares on the masses.

Also thanks to

lexluvsclark,

dammitcarl,

xnitelite,

rageprufrock and

ranaeros just because y’all are some cool chicks and it’s my pleasure to be in the same fandom as you.

Plus, thanks to

serrico for going where nobody else seems to and giving voice all those under appreciated minor characters. She does a mean beta…

Which means I should also thank my betas:

ethrosdemon (relax, your praise is coming),

obsessedmuch,

happyminion,

andariell,

evil_man,

icebun,

spasticat,

rosenho,

serrico,

bonibaru,

fearlessdiva and

pandarus. Thanks for putting up with my, well, you name it and y’all have probably had to put up with it, so thanks. Here’s to another year of sadism.

Moving onward to HP terrain…

silviakundera, words defy the hell out of me where you’re concerned. You write, you make me laugh, you are severely twisted, and damnit, I’m so glad to have made your acquaintence. The same of course can be said for

addictedkitten and her icony goodness.

reenka, I think you might be the most zealous shipper I’ve ever come across in my life, but you believe and that’s more important than anything else.

holographis has taste and style and yet another twisted mind. It’s amazing the perverts that HP has drawn. *g*

Speaking of perverts, I cannot for one second not mention Miss

fearlessdiva because you know it’s she of the *good* writing. Did y’all read my birthday present like I told you too? Lazy ass, mofos… Read it! Yes, she’s that good. Yes, I’m that honored to know her, much in the same way that I’m honored to know Miss

pandarus. Skills people. Serious skills here, I’m telling you.

Also, big thanks to

vanityfair,

dark_soul_lost,

seren_himitsu,

camillafarfalla,

phineasjones,

taradiane,

valancy,

kylandra,

lestrange,

snooks_ranting,

nefeleo,

novembersnow,

sacredulce,

ztrin, and

starlitefaire for being a part of this fandom and writing and reccing and commenting and all that other stuff that makes HP such a nice place to commit several sins.

Like

pandarus says ‘y’all rock like a thing that rocks.’

To the LOTRips people: thanks to

karelian,

edigo,

esorlehcar and

lux__aeterna for making me feel at home. Thanks to

untitled06 for making such hot icons, and thanks to

kattiya for taking a chance on an unknown subject matter (he’s hot though, isn’t he?)

(Can y’all tell I’m getting tired?)

We’re about to wrap it up, but I’d like to give big shout outs to the Everwood people:

babywitch,

bigboobedcanuck,

allcanadiangirl,

researchminion,

karone,

frenchhippie,

plum_evil because I remember when we had no people on the bus.

And now that we’re coming down to the end there are a few people who defy fandom, description and a lot of other stuff, who really, thanks just isn’t even the right word, but hey, I only have so many. So:

bonibaru. I know you didn’t even think I forgot about you. How could I forget about you? You beta, you cheerlead, you recc, you vid. Babe, there ain’t much you don’t do, and for that I am always in your debt and most definitely in awe.

redfirecracker. We remember way back in the day. Here’s to going forward, maybe getting TPTB to bring us some Wes/Gunn slash again?

impudent_rabbit I’m hard pressed to find someone more twisted than

ethrosdemon but really, you’re it, and I’m thrilled to know you and ViVid. I loves me some goldfish.

obsessedmuch like I said, I tell you this all the time so this is a bit moot, but really, without you? Not even a basic HTML page. You have the skills and the heart, and for you I will always be grateful.

ethrosdemon. You’re my girl. You are sick like a seriously sick person, and damnit you are so going to hell. It’ll be my honor to go with you, just as soon as you finish that goddamn Chloe/Lex piece, biotch!

Big ups to my man

satan_dot_com for finding me amusing and to whomever the hell is running

boondocks, I love that cartoon.

If I forgot you, I assure you it’s not intentional. I’m tired. I don’t even know what day of the week it is, but please be assured that I appreciate you and whatever the hell you’re doing – as long as it’s constructive and advancing my plans for world domination at any rate. Seriously though, thanks, all of you make fandom a better place to play.

Cheers
