Because November is hard for lots of us, and in particular is something I find hard (my not-quite-month of mourning begins tomorrow, officially); because it's spring in the southern hemisphere and the days just keep getting shorter in the northern; because I talked to my counsellor yesterday about all of the shapes and forms that value takes.

Autumn crocuses growing through a carpet of sweet chestnut husks.

This post will close to new nominations at the end of the month (because November), though I'll keep unscreening comments after that point if any new ones do come in.

If you do not know for certain the person's preferred pronouns and they do not list them on their DW profile, please use gender neutral pronouns as a default. Other people can then reply to that comment with goopy declarations of love, reasons that person is awesome, sparkly expressions of admiration, etc! All comments are screened, and I'll unscreen them as they arrive. (So, if your comment doesn't appear right away, please be patient; I'll leave my online status at the bottom of this post to keep people updated on whether I'm unscreening or not.)

♥ If you don't want to be nominated, or don't want comments referring to certain things [body/appearance, wrong pronouns, etc] to appear on your thread, please let me know; I won't unscreen any such comment or nomination. If I make a mistake in unscreening something, if you want a comment to your thread unscreened or deleted, if you have any concerns you need to raise -- please just tell me, and I'll attend to it as soon as I can. If there are any inappropriate comments made to a thread, I will check with the person being referred to before unscreening.

♥ Share the love: please do send people over here (and to your own thread!) Words-and-deeds it up if you like, but that's not obligatory!

♥ These guidelines are modeled on

dingsi's love meme guidelines, with modifications by

I am so glad to know you.

I really love your deeply-thought-through posts.

I am a terrific

forthwritten fan.

I am in awe of the clarity with which she writes about complicated and entangled issues, and wish there had been more time for in person contact last June.

forthwritten is so smart & fierce but also hilarious. & also v. v. kind -- I feel like their kindness & wanting things to be better infuses everything they do. I deeply admire all the work they put into activism & working through difficult shit.

Hurray for were_duck is a fabulous human being. I especially appreciate their willingness to talk about kink as well as their enthusiasm for all things bookish!

You are an intelligent and caring person, who works to make the world better for those around her. I know from both observation and testimony (hers) that you did an immense amount to help Velma, both with her and Soren's health issues, and in general.

We've loved you for a long time. It was great to be neighbors, and it's still good to be on lj/dw together.

Your immense generosity of spirit, and your kindness, and your everything.

(Every time I read this comment I think of the Ani DiFranco lyric I know there is strength in the differences between us/and I know that there is comfort where we overlap.)

They're really fabulous--like

such_heights said, their appreciation for life inspires me and makes me smile.

I really appreciate this meme, but I also think you have lots of good things to say in venues where I've seen you weigh in, and I really appreciate your take.

I have so much admiration for Sebastienne. They are clever, determined, passionate and inspiring.

You are absolutely splendid. I'm really glad I know you.

Forthwritten is such a lovely person. I get the impression I could safely sit in a room with them, drinking tea, nodding occasionally and being in comfortable silence. <3

I love their deep love of Britdrama, AND I think they're super talented and creative...and I am pulling for them 100%.

I really enjoy the things you have to say and that you say them so very well, Dingsi!

I am in awe of your vidding and how awesomely good you are at queering the narrative in many different ways. You make Doctor Who special again.

Also your cat is ADORABLE.

I've been missing you like crazy lately. (I know, I should try staying in touch better.)

You are one of very (very) small number of people I trust to know all the awful things about me and still like me. I am in awe of your capacity to be interested in so many different things, and the expansive knowledge that you have of them. You have this combination of physical grace and awkwardness which should be an impossible contradiction, and is so incredibly hot.

Among other things (excellent writer, for a start), they're a super intuitive and thoughtful person that I am so glad to know. No matter how rough things are with them, if I or others are having a hard time of it, they'll always have a moment for a kind word or encouragement, which means a lot.

They've been really helpful in helping me understand things about myself and others and I can only wish I could do the same! Even when words fail me, I am always hoping like hell for the best for them.

We don't really know each other, but I enjoy your posts a lot--you always have great things to say and say them really, really well.

I am consistently impressed by your capacity to be kind and compassionate, especially towards people whom many would feel don't deserve it.

We don't know each other but have a mutual friend who has always spoken highly of you--and all the writing and thoughts I have seen from you are fantastic.

I really enjoy your company, and wish I saw more of you. I love arguing with you, because for all that we disagree about a lot, the similarity of our approaches means I can learn a lot from you, and always feel confident that we're disagreeing in good faith.

Your fic is some of the best writing in fandom--ALL OF FANDOM. I love how you make worlds come alive and examine all of the unanswered questions, all the things that need to be spoken. I also enjoy your tweets and posts about real life as you have great insight and humour! (hoping this doesn't sound creepy omg)
