[introductions] whoever you are, no matter how lonely

[kaberett]

Quoted from 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.

Hello... :)

[kaberett]

Joshua! Joshua is another amazing author -- I am so impressed by his words. He is incredibly generous with his resources and with book recommendations and with friendship; he talks thoughtfully & sensibly about living with a not-always-cooperative body, with life tips & reading recs for those too. I am constantly appreciative of his kindness and his nudging of my brain.

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.
