I've been meaning to write a post about her and her reactions for ages, but it's probably best that I waited because now she's really getting into the show on a more regular basis.
that's one thing I've loved about the fandom. I've become friends of sorts with so many different people that I would have never talk to otherwise. It's opened up my world.
Oh yes! So so very much. And it's been the most intellectual stimulation I've had since college - it feels like being in a classroom sometimes, and those wonderful discussions. But it's also challenged me to be tolerant of different opinions, and pick my "battles" carefully (if I even need to "fight that battle"), how to say what I feel about serious subjects in a respectful, noncombative way; but also, that I have a right to my own opinions. (you wouldn't think that was a problem for me.)
Maybe she'll even end up on LJ! :)
I hope so, though she's such a busy lady! Two books out in print, another she's working on right now (and I'm so excited by the drafts I've seen of it), a fashionista blog, facebook, interviews...and wow am I exhausted just typing that *lol*
I really do hope she will even just to read stuff - I don't recall if you read my post about Buffy and Tara, where I talk about the concept of "bearing witness"? I really had my friend in mind, because that's been a huge part of our relationship. So when I write, I always hope that she'll get to enjoy it eventually.
And thank you SO much again for the pretty artwork and the wonderful words of support! You're amazing, do you know that?
