resonantIt was on August 11, 1999, that I (terrified, heart pounding, with a newly chosen pseudonym that I wasn't even quite sure I liked) hit Send on the message that put a Sentinel PWP called "Anoint" out on the SXF mailing list.
(This is really not meant to encourage anybody to go read that story, because I put it on AO3 for what felt like historical reasons, but I do not in any way think it's GOOD.)
I'm still happy to be here.[waves at old and new friends]

I also put my first fic up on AO3 (posted in 1997) purely for archival reasons, but I still occasionally get a kudos on it, which always makes me feel happy and embarrassed.

Date: 8/11/25 11:47 pm (UTC)because I'd somehow missed that wonderful story, which is a master class in sex-as-communication.
And now I have a good reason to reread all the great things you wrote which I first enjoyed in 2008, when I entered due south fandom.

Date: 8/13/25 04:33 pm (UTC)I miss the nights when I'd stay up far later than was really in my best interest. I'm unemployed and thus have time to stay up late in chat, but as soon as I feel like I've begun to comprehend one chat system, it goes away and another one takes its place.
I'm allergic to chat because I have no short-term memory

(Ack. Discord ack.)

Date: 8/16/25 09:26 pm (UTC)In 1999 I didn't know yet what "slash" meant, outside of bar fights, and I certainly had no clue what Fandom could really mean. How wonderfully that all has changed! :D
