People in fandom who make my day:

chrisleeoctaves, for being kind, for making things happen in fandom, for keeping the B/A love alive, for being graceful, eloquent, and funny, for being a fabulous friend and sending me postcards and tea.
seraphcelene, for your wonderful emails, which I miss, your glorious fb, your thinky thoughts, your enthusiasm, your willingness to blab on about fanfic til five in the morning, for telling me once I never needed to apologize or qualify myself for speaking my mind.
my_daroga, for opening up your home and heart.
a2zmom, for your funny posts, your pragmatic posts, your wise posts, your educational and religious posts, for your thoughts on life and peeks at your family posts, for your shameless posts . . . and for being exactly how you are on all of said posts when I met you in person.
kita0610, for saying what you think, for being strong, for having and open heart, for loving hugely and fighting courageously, for gorgeous writing, for pimping others, for being squeeful and enthusiastic as well as wise and thinky, for being succinct in your lj posts, which neither of us can quite manage in writing. :o)
fodian, for making me dinner, and for introducing me to the wonders of gender ambiguity in males, for being so enthusiastic and thinky at the same time, giving me thoughtful ways to look at things in which I haven't before, for all your emails.
crazydiamondsue, for always making me laugh. There should be more, but you do it every single damn time. And you make me feel all squishy inside.
germaine_pet, for being wise, independent, and strong, for encouraging women around you to be so, for being sensitive, big-hearted, generous, and kind, for wonderful writing, for good downhome squee, for writing twisty incestful threesomes.
imnotacommittee, for putting up with me even though I don't always stay in good contact, for being so easy to talk to and share so many thoughts with, for still sending me things to beta even though I suck, for your Sound of Music love.
femmenerd, for being witty, quick, and making academia interesting, for being enthusiastic and chronically multi-fandom, for always being wonderfully open with your thoughts, ideas, theories, and fannish zippidydooda.

If you're mentioned, you're supposed to do 10 people of your own who make your day.

Also, kids, I did something weird and creepy and stalkery, thought I tried to make it as . . . unweird and uncreepy and unstalkerly as possible. I made a comm to discuss mistful fanfiction, and it's ddg_and_sundry on livejournal. For one thing, I resented making it on lj, because. Well. You know me and lj, no simpatico! But I figure it's a comm and not a user, so I'm not really breaking my stance? Or something. Anyway, there's no getting around it, I am fannish about this woman's stories. I want to write fanfiction about them; I want to write meta; I want to talk to other fans; I want to debate; I want to theorize and predict; I want to go to midnight parties; I want to go to cons.

It seems freakish and wrong to be so obsessed with a few fanfics. I will feel better when she's all published, though how in the world does that make being fannish legit? I make no sense. But anyway, I don't know if anyone on my flist besides Essie is as nuts as me, but there's the comm. It's there.
