Fandom serendipity!
Apr. 14th, 2009 09:10 pmI was invited to a "hen party" by our pastor's wife, at the parsonage tonight. I thought about not going--I was really tired after work, and DWTS results show was on tonight.
But I reminded myself that I am trying to make new friends here in town, and that I could record the show, so I made myself go.
I'm so glad, because I met a new LotR friend! We were doing a little get acquainted game, where each person answered a question. The woman standing next to me answered "Lord of the Rings" to "What is your favorite book?" Well, you can imagine how I latched onto her! She's not familiar with any LotR fanfic, though she *is* familiar with the concept, as she's read some Star Trek fic. She is also a minister, though not Methodist--I believe her denomination is Disciples of Christ.
Anyway, I have her email address, and am going to send her some story links.
Oh we had such a delicious conversation!
