posting really really quickly during break--

[schmerica]

I'm going to go ahead and comment on everyone else's when I get home, but for now here it is, another friends list-eating meme:

Part of being on Livejournal.com is inevitably gaining a number of LJ buddies. Unfortunately, as time wears on, it's easy to forget where all of them came from. Post this in your journal and have your friends respond with how they recall first 'meeting' you.

I'm guessing for most of you, fandomwise, it'll be either being around SV fandom at the same time or Ces pimping me in dS. But who knows? I could be way off base.

Definitely Smallville. ClarkLexFic. You wrote. We recced you. It's the circle of life.

And then we met in person at Escapade this year!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

That's a beautiful circle! Much nicer than the ones with the dead antelopes, I think.

And I remember meeting you at Escapade -- sitting on the floor in the DS room party, I think, and then at the Order of Glitter party.

[cereta.livejournal.com]

Yup, Smallville. ClarkLex, probably, although I think LJ was really where I got to know you. Possible a chat somewhere along the line ;).

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm not sure I ever posted any non-fic to ClarkLex -- I am mailing-list-phobic girl. So yeah, probably mostly livejournal.

It's weird, because I lurked and you were PEARLO BNF SV FANFICCER EXTRAORDINAIRE, and then I think there was Jack, and chat, and then there was JessanErica and at that point I still kind of went 'Eee! Gah! *hides*' whenever you pinged me, and then one day you were just my beloved Pearlie Pie.

*loves you wildly*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

You are the bestest of all Bexes in the whole *world*.

[tobyfan.livejournal.com]

I think I found a link to one of your story posts on my flist or possibly read a story of yours on ds_flashfiction. In either case, I love your storytelling and so I friended you.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Nifty!

[akite.livejournal.com]

I have the same story as tobyfan. I saw you on ds_flashfiction or somebody pimped you in their journal, and I thought, I don't want to miss anything. So, I friended you.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[destina.livejournal.com]

SV, definitely. Can't remember exactly how...probably via one of your stories. :)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ah, Smallville. Remembering my first early fangirl steps is quite heady. (Although I hadn't realized how many people on my flist have been there since I started lj. Huh.)

[byob-kenobi.livejournal.com]

Hmm...I'd read your stories here and there, but I didn't "meet" you until you came onto #discourse.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*nod* Discourse is a valuable place.

[elke-tanzer.livejournal.com]

When I tumbled headlong into SV? I think?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I think I friended you right after Escapade, but I'm not totally sure -- I remember your panel about archive and rec sites, and your funky dresses.

[reginagiraffe]

Um, around (ds_flashfic) and then #discourse. Hopefully someday in person.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Hopefully! Although God knows when, really.

[inalasahl]

I friended you for the Firefly fic, and because you live in the same state I do.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yay, Firefly! Although I suppose it's not all that frequent these days.

[inalasahl]

No, I don't suppose it is. It seems that way for everyone, though. Firefly fic is experiencing a bit of a lull.

[theodosia.livejournal.com]

Due South on Live Journal communities, and then got to make even better acquaintance on #discourse!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

yay, discourse!

[sophia-helix.livejournal.com]

Somehow through hesychasm, whose flist I shamelessly steal new people from, but I can't remember if I friended you first or vice versa. I think I was here for Everwood in the beginning.

.m

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I can't remember either! Actually, i don't even know if I got you directly from somebody else, or maybe "popular users not on your list".

And, oh, Everwood! That seems sadly far away now.

[barely-bean.livejournal.com]

Jenn dragged me into chat one day and I was all *eek* and you were there and lots of other people that made me nervous and I figured you guys were all just being nice to me but then you guys continued to talk to me, even when Jenn wasn't there and I was confused but then there was Selling_out and we were writing Indie!Clark and then you were just Erica Schmerica.

And then we met in real life in Portland! Woo!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

That chat was, like, soul-eating, wasn't it?

*snugs the Caro*

[rabidfangurl.livejournal.com]

It's all fox1013's fault. That, and fandom in general.

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

*beams proudly*

[copracat]

Your very first wonderful marvellous Smallville story.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Awwww. *blushes*

[afrai.livejournal.com]

I can't bemember! I think it was through barbarian_qulan. Yes, def'nitely. And then I friended you. That was when your journal was all Sekrit.

I'm trying to remember if I added you 'cos I liked your SV fic or I liked you -- oh, yes, it was the you! My SV fannishness was much later.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I kind of miss the sekrit journal, really. But, yes! Mel is our super link! Because you were on her list and she talked about yuo and you were all funny and cool and stuff.

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

Um. I do not remember exactly, but you poked me once cause you saw me and I looked at your flist and immediately decided you were too cool for me, but I talked to you anyway and then you dragged me into Smallville fandom and chats and I think before that was when we met in person but I am not entirely sure.

Also, *loves you*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

See, when I added you to my friends list you were all famous in my mind! Because you were Fox1013, she of MBTV and Hissyfit and blah blah blah and I'd known of you in crazy internet ways for years. But then you turned into *my* Fox, and it was good.
