That "Make my Day" meme

[dreamflower]

It was very gratifying to learn that I made slightlytookish and maniac1's days. But what was I supposed to do? How could I pick only 10 out of all of you lovely people? I had to laugh at grey_wonderer's solution! But then I read claudia603's version, and thought "Aha!" I adapted it just a little bit, to fit me--but this is for all of you, who every day, make my day:

1. You are posting, whether it's your grocery list, fannish squeeing about anything you're passionate about, or posting a story or artwork.

2. You come chat with me on my posts, even if just to say hi or add a hug or two.

3. You read any of my stories and leave fb, but especially if years or months later you remember something I've written and mention it or rec it or reminisce about it.

4. You engage me in delightful email dialogues about passionate things and I know that even if we don't always agree, we're passionate about it and learn from each other.

5. You take the time to leave profoundly sweet and/or wise and/or encouraging words of advice when I'm having a rough time.

6. You allow me to cuddle and hug you when you're having a rough time.

7. You link to books, movies, websites that I might not have seen/discovered otherwise.

8. You tolerate my obsession with hobbits and the Shire and LotR--even if you’ve moved on to other interests and other fandoms. And if you haven’t moved on, and you still share that obsession with the One True Fandom, you are beyond priceless!

9. You open my mind to different countries, cultures, places I might never get to go but I can see in your posts and pictures.

10. You're you, you're you, you're you!

*hugs back*

In my outer life, I've moved on in many ways... but LotR still plays a major role in my 'inner life', especially thanks to all you sweet things who keep it fresh in my mind.

And may I say, because of all the reading I'm doing of OTHER people's writings... THANK YOU to you and all my other LJ friends who can write intelligible (SHEESH, now I can't figure out if that's spelled right!! Serves me right, I guess, LOL!) sentences and thoughts! You have no idea how much I appreciate you!

You spelled it right. ;D

whee! :) *blushes* You only changed a very few things! Grand minds think alike! :))) (ooh, I can't wait to copy and paste that whole story to my e-book when you finish [Edoras]) And I can't wait to show off my VERY long apparent list of canon fics that I am shocked that I have written over the years (whee for discovering new things while I'm working on my website!)

LOL, I was thinking the same thing about Edoras, that I can't wait to have it on my e-book!

I always love reading your posts,even though I'm not a Hobbit person,though I do love Hobbits + Aragorn stories..I've greatly enjoyed the LOTR discussions I've shared with you.

You do all those things for us, too, and we love you for it.:)
