If she doesn't know Charles and Maryann, she might know Bill from Kapuskasing.
I'm from Kapuskasing, so sure as shit, I know Bill.
Canada is definitely smaller than you think.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
t takes pity on Jon Charles & Maryann are the fantasy writer Charles deLint and his wife Maryann Harris. They are also both traditional musicians and general social butterflies on the SF scene. If FAQ Girl is into SF at all she might know them or of them.
Also, if she's from Ottawa, she might know my brother Ted who works for PWGS. Ask her!

Backatcha.
See, Canadians expect to be one or two degrees of separation away from everyone else. More than that and we start to feel a little isolated and edgy. So if I know Charles and FAQ Girl knows Charles, we're good. Just knowing of Charles means we need another link.
You'll do, but you'll have to move to Kanata. Or Manotick. Maybe Nepean.
