It's so interesting to hear from folks like you whose names are familiar as authors but who I haven't crossed paths with "live..." I always feel a little sad to have missed the heyday of DS fandom-on-LJ, except that realistically, I know it would have just squashed me flat. I can't handle that much internet! The low-key-but-regular pace these days is about as much as I can take. But it's odd, wandering around the ghost cities of once-active comms and looking at all the cool stuff that was going on, "back then," which is not so very long ago... :)
