[introductions] whoever you are, no matter how lonely

Quoted from [personal profile] liv, the inventor:
If you would like to, please comment to this post, and I'll introduce you to everybody else by giving a reason why I think you're great. Some people I know better than others, so I can't promise all my introductions will exactly encapsulate why someone might want to get to know you. You're also welcome to comment to someone else's thread and ask for a specific introduction to that person; I know some people are more confident than others about just jumping in and introducing themselves to a stranger. I am also happy to matchmake if you would like that; ask me for a recommendation of a personal journal and / or community from my circles.

And of course, feel free to repost this game in your own journal, if you think it would be a good way to make connections between some of your people. I think this could go quite well if it spreads a few hops away from here, but also worth doing even if no-one picks it up.

Tagged "love meme" because, well, in its way it is, just taken slightly skew; post prompted by the presence of a beloved colleague & collaborator.

:) Subscribe away! I will check you out and possibly subscribe to you later tonight when I have DW access that is not via reply-to-email-notifs. Probably subscribe to you. I have seen your username about and I associate it with good things.

[personal profile] kaberett describes you in such glowing terms that I can't help but subscribe.

The shenanigans with B&N in February are not unique. My friend Anne Walsh's book Homecoming got cross-listed with, if I recall correctly, somebody named Dan Walsh's book Homecoming. She wasn't pleased. I don't remember if she said anything about not selling through B&N anymore, but given that she sells her ebooks through Smashwords and Smashwords automatically exports to B&N (and other places), I don't know that she had a choice about it.

Umm... I think you are partly mixing me up with another person. At least I wasn't responsible for the midnight tour -- that was Elena, who was also an American in Pooh Soc. I'm also not sure about the scientist bit -- what I'm doing now isn't really science, and I can't think of anywhere I have explained my work where you might have seen it.

(I am responsible for the postcards though -- they are great fun to find and send.)

Oh dear, I don't think I was there at all. I'm generally not up for much late at night. I'm afraid I don't have memory of 1st meeting you -- other than that it was through Pooh Soc.

Thank you, in that case I'm extremely flattered. I should try to write more about it.

(You have inspired me to write you another one :)

Thank you, though, for all of it. I struggle a lot with feeling like I am doing "enough" in various ways, and I am way glad that you see what I do manage as valuable.

Ooh, I'm so glad you passed on my meme. I know it's a love meme really, I just have irrational twitches about love memes so I gave it a different name when I created it. In any case I would love to be introduced to a few more of your excellent friends I haven't met yet!

I'm slightly teary at this introduction, you know. You have picked things to praise that I do take pride in, but aren't usually foregrounded in how I think of myself, so I'm extremely touched and flattered. Not shy about learning in public, yes, that is one of my characteristics, and I hadn't thought about why it might be a good thing. And yay for being recommended ♥

Ooh, I like this meme! Recommend-a-friend (or whatever you call it, haha) is something that I would like to do, except I think most of my circle already intersects with itself, so I'm not sure how much connecting I could facilitate that hasn't already happened.

I am genuinely impressed by anyone who can deal with me suddenly and unexpectedly stumbling into a full-blown public freakout, let alone people who can do it with grace.

He's also good with helping people through panic attacks. I speak from personal experience on this matter.

Dear sir,

Due to your love for Nobilis and our general overlap in interests, and that you come so highly recommended by [personal profile] kaberett, I am left with no choice but to propose we embark upon a glorious friendship. Should you find yourself willing to pursue what I hope to be a mutually fulfilling arrangement, I am available mostly through gtalk, email, and DW.

[identity profile] dreamfracture.insanejournal.com 2013-08-31 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I am too tired to give this the reply it deserves, so I'm going to settle for "yes please, that would be lovely", and I'll try to come back to it with a bit more brain tomorrow.
