So I have made the heartbreaking discovery that I have now been skulking around here for long enough that when I take my hiatuses ('s, s'??? Who knows...) out in the real world, and come crawling back when a new fandom makes me drool, that I am actually able to track certain authors progress through fandoms - oer the years. And I mean, like, over the course of a decade!

Like when I read the incredible, stunning, amazing and completely indescribably wonderful "Atlas" by Angel Baby1. It has been nearly a year and a half since I was last deeply entrhalled by a fandom - SGA will forever hold a special place in my heart - when I fell, entirely by mistake, in love with Tsar Trek XI.

I nearly died reading it in one marathon session (which also included a desperate copy-pasting so I could transfer it onto my iPhone, so I could read during my flight the next day) and when I finished, I hightailed it back to her profile page, only to discover...I had already read all her previous work. "The Winter Prince" when I went through a return-to-Narnia phase briefly about 6 months ago. "Deathday Revelations" When I was in love with Danny Phantom. And she was even one of my Digimon authors.

And the sad thing is - this isn't the only author I recognise like this! Way to make me feel old (and rather low on the word count too!!!) Compared with all my comrades from back in 2001 (yes, despite my page saying otherwise. I was a guilty little teenager who couldn't lie about her age to register on the site!), I certainly look rather sad. In my defence, I deleted a lot of trash from my early Yu-Gi-Oh obsession, but still.

And the moral of the story is?

Well...maybe something mushy about how people you've never mety can travel their life story touching the same point at the same time as you even though you are millions of miles away? I was never very good at those, I kinda just like talking. Or typing, as the case may be.

oh, P.S. about the bad French. Sorry. It was an early experiment in class as a child, and I still love it, so I just kept it as a fond memory, and username.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."
