I honestly made a document called "Who's Who in Whoville" for this reason.

I do *try* to keep things easy to figure, but I am a different name here than there. It's just that here predates that aspect of fandom for me, so this variation on an actual name is grandfathered in.

Minim Calibre everywhere else, though.

So how does "Plei" figure in? I think I remember that from Table Talk, right?

Err. Winsister, I think. I'm not sure. I'll check. I might use that specifically for Femmenerd's stuff, though.

I don't see a Winsister tag.

Has anyone recced shallot's "Under Hill" yet? It's Wincest, but under somewhat unusual circumstances. And Dean cracked me up throughout.

I meant to add that to my delicious collection, but I don't think I have, yet. (That's her amnesia fic, right?)

That's her amnesia fic, yep.

It's also the proof for me that, nope, no matter how often I try, Wincest just doesn't work for me.

Short form of my actual first name! I don't ever use it as a log in, but people started calling me by it after the first F2F, as that's what I go by in person.

Though I admire you for trying!

I'm SA here, sathinks on livejournal, sathinks everywhere else. SA is my name, off the board, but the buffistas was the first place I ever used it. My youthful screen name is somewhat more embarassing to me, mostly because it was boring. Not that sathinks is much more exciting and interesting? But I've used it for, oh, five or six years now and am still happy with it.

Mine is game-ish. With a 404 added some places because ... I have no idea. But the 404 is from the File Not Found error. My RL name is just very, very common. And I answer quite happily to Cass now pretty much anywhere and everywhere.

I am stubborn! Though at this point, I might as well say, oh, fuck it, hand me some more Dean/Starla and Sam/Jess, if I'm not looking for gen.

It's ... thinky. With curls.

My god, you've just described... me!

It's so funny to me that here, it's eight in the morning and I've just gotten up for work, and there, it's midnight and you're staying up too late! ::pokes::

Oh, right. Fic. Um. Ryan/Taylor remains ridiculously pleasing to me? Booth/Brennan from Bones has stolen my heart? I'm really confused by all the het I love suddenly!

Here's my theory on that, actually: one of the classic origin of slash myths is the idea that, because the male characters were better-written and more well-developed than their female counterparts, or were more present on the screen, or had a stronger connection than they did with the female characters, the slash was more accessible in a way because of the characterization. Re-watching older television, up at least until the X-Files, say, I'm inclined to agree, at least broadly.

But recenly everyone has been batting around the phrase "golden age of television" which, looking at my weekly watchlist, is also something I'm inclined to agree with. And part of that is, writers are writing female characters like actual people instead of scene-chewers or plot foils. So suddenly, relationships I would dismiss (in canon) as boring, or lacking in chemistry or good writing, or what's the point of she's only on for one episode--they're turning into omg they are so cute together, and look at how they make each other laugh, and my GOD how many more seasons do I have to wait, JIM AND PAM.

I may be explaining this poorly. It's Friday morning and I really don't want to go to work, but I have to.
