I read your blog regularly under the guise of brainbuffet which is my journal for reading random good writers. That explains how I'm often here but not friended.

I actually appreciate your authoritative voice and your rhetorical absolutes, though I understand how that can fall anywhere between "off-putting" and "offensive" to some. I work in a job where it's really not appropriate for me to spend much time using IT resources for my own purposes, so I don't get to LfT as often as I'd like, but I do try.
I allow anon commenting on my fic lj only. My personal one is mine and mostly locked. But I consider fanfic to be free, so I leave that open. That has rarely been abused.
But I got protective of my life after a dumbass boss tried threatened to find my blogs. (He is now fired.)
Hey there, it's Vanessa. We had each other added before. I was sunday_best before I signed up for a new account. I missed reading my friends page and sometimes there's something personal that I liked about LJ that I couldn't always blog about. Nice to see you're still on here. I added you again!
Hello! I just friended you, but I'm aware my LJ doesn't have much recent content, so it seems a brief introduction may be in order. I stumbled upon your blog through fic, but over the past several days I have been systematically devouring every entry on LfT. Systematic devouring sounds creepy, but I mean that in the most loving way possible! So at this point I know a lot about you, and you know almost nothing about me, but we can remedy that as time allows, if you are so inclined. Once I slow my reading of LfT down enough to write out a few of the many (mostly emotional) responses I've experienced, you'll probably hear from me over there, too. I'm going to step on the brake now, before my rambling gets beyond control. Just one more thing, though - thank you. Really.
OH MAN SO I'm hardly on LJ anymore, but I use things like longreads a lot and I opened up an article entitled "The Boy Who Lived Forever" which had a very ambiguous blurb on my blogroll, and you can imagine my surprise upon reading the opening paragraph:
"J.K. Rowling probably isn't going to write any more Harry Potter books. That doesn't mean there won't be any more. It just means they won't be written by J.K. Rowling. Instead they'll be written by people like Racheline Maltese."
!!!
Um, awesome. I didn't realize it was an article on fic, and now I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy it a bunch. *off to read*
