Intro: Hello? Testing... 1...2... 3...

[icarus]

Well, hello all.

Several people have friended me in the last weeks over the FanLib, etc. posts, so I thought I'd do a little a intro song-and-dance. I don't usually do this because mostly people friend me over stories and I know there's more coming. With the wank stuff, well, I kinda hope there isn't.

Usually I'm not involved in Big Fandom Issues. (Well. Unless I start them.) It's not that I don't have an opinion, it's that I usually don't hear about them until long after the fact.

Friend: "Well, you know when they had that big blow up over gatorade last month...."
Icarus: "Blow up?"

This is because I suck at checking my f-list. I'm... random.

Anyhow, some of you might want to reconsider friending me because fandom-wise I'm as exciting as a houseplant, unless you're interested in Stargate Atlantis, Harry Potter, and (lately) Supernatural fanfic and recs. And whiney school posts to make you feel better about your job.

And cats. There are cats here.

Oh, if you are interested in SGA/HP/SPN fanfic, you'll probably want to check to see that I don't suck, just to be on the safe side. Let's see... my current favorites are:

SGA - Tanlines & Dogtags and Out Of Bounds
SPN - Self Sufficiency (okay, there's only one, but I'm still working on that Sam/Transvestite story)
HP - A Moment Of Sin & Beg Me For It

*scratches head* So if you're still around, I guess you're okay with all that. Welcome! Let me see if I have enough biscuits.

Haha...your "whiney school posts" make me feel better about MY whiney school posts, there's that sense of "ah...all students of ancient languages are suffering this much..."

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Studying an ancient language is akin to drowning with a large, pretty carrot dangling over your head. On the one hand -- cool carrot! On the other hand -- help? LOL

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

Ah, I've seen you around on flists, so it was natural to eventually friend you. :D My only question is...are you female or male? Cuz I can't just TELL. :P

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

*bursts out laughing*

I love this question. My first nine-ten months in the Harry Potter fandom I tortured people with this question. My beta on Primer to the Dark Arts finally asked me, after working with me for two months.

I'm a petite 39-year-old woman. *grins*

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well good, that was my leaning, but I wasn't SURE. I'm a not-so-petite 39yo woman, too! LOL

*waves hello back*

I end up over here reading your meta often enough that I figured it was time to friend you.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I love that icon. *snuggles Dean*

Welcome aboard. There will be meta, there is always meta.

[aerynvala.livejournal.com]

Dean is most adorable. :D And ty for the links to your fiction, new stuff to read! :)

[dumbys-baby.livejournal.com]

I, admittedly, was one of the many that friended you during the whole Fablib debacle, and I'm not normally so rude as to not ask before doing so (my bad), but I really enjoyed your articulate and well argued posts.

I then read your HP fanfic and liked what I read. :D

If you would rather not be 'friended', I'll accommodate your wishes, no dramas.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't care about being asked, I'm thrilled to have you here.

I was just thinking, hmm, when things get back to normal will there be anything here of interest? And do I have enough towels?

*goes shopping for biscuits and tea for everyone, humming happily*

[dumbys-baby.livejournal.com]

I'll bring scones. Butter or jam and cream?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, jam and cream of course.

[chronolith.livejournal.com]

Came for the wank, stayed for the biscuits. Do I get milk?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, indeed. Chocolate?

[lttledvl.livejournal.com]

I'll always be around to bug you; wether it be fandom, school, cats or whatever...

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Hey you. :D

[follyfibble.livejournal.com]

Hi there too, Icarus,

I used to be more around HP about 2-3 years ago (Frogslayr), mutually friended and all that, but then folded the tent and left HP for another fandom, then left fandom completely.

Weird that all the fanlib stuff drew all that attention.

I started getting all nostalgic, and wanted to stick around for the final book ride. :D :D :D But I used to like your random other talk. :D :D still do. :D

*creepy stalkerish* not really.

cheers.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

frogslyr! Hi!! *waves frenetically* I love it when people I know from the old days turn up again. That was, what, 2003? 2004?

I'm figuring I'll probably recover some HP mojo if JKR does something terrible to my Percy. (I'm betting Imperius curse myself.)

Icarus

[aunty_marion]

Friended you during Strikethrough '07, but have, I think (notoriously forgetful here), read your fanfic etc too.

HP fanfic ... cats ... biscuits ... meta ... what's not to like?

*takes a biscuit, offers raspberries*

extremely NON-petite 54-year-old woman here

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Ooo! Raspberries. :D

[lilac-way.livejournal.com]

Someone was just looking for Tanlines and Dogtags over on Storyfinders and when I realized I *completely* missed that one I decided to friend you and keep up. I've been reading your stuff since HP, and Walls of Jericho was one of the stories that got me into SG-1 fandom. Now I am happily wallowing in SGA.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

You make me feel like a happy crack dealer. *rolls down the window and pops open the door* Hop in, we're going places, babe.

(Also, I love sgastoryfinders.)

[stewardess.livejournal.com]

I like cats and SPN. A lot.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

For you:

Sam: *pets cat, who coils her silky black tail around his arm as he strokes*

Dean: *grumps* I hate cats.

Sam: *laughing* What? Why?

Dean: They're nothin' but trouble. *he glares at the cat suspiciously*

Cat: *transforms into woman with green eyes and silky black hair*

Dean: *draws his .45*

Sam: Uh. Who are you?

Cat: *smiles sinfully, then winks* Trouble.

[stewardess.livejournal.com]

Ack! Why did you do that? I am now stuck in a quandary: if Sam and Dean were cats, what kind of cats would they be?

Sam is easy: Maine Coon. But Dean? I'm going insane trying to figure that one out.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's easy. Dean is a scruffy, tough little tabbie. With that perfect M on the forehead.
