Because I'm at work and have minutes to write and hence am very bored, and because my attempts at responding to this from other people have served only to prove that my memory sucks:

Part of being on LJ is inevitably gaining a number of LJ buddies. Unfortunately, as time wears on, it's easy to forget where all of them came from. Post this in your journal and have your friends respond with how they recall first 'meeting' you.

You wrote Cam/John fic. And it was wonderful.

You wrote Cam/John fic

Somebody had to be writing one that wasn't doom gloom and depression... I'm just not sure that person turned out to be me :o)

Weird that now if someone asked me how I know you, I'd probably say through Numb3rs instead, even though it's clearly not true.

It's because we were some of the first of the few and proud who realized Granger/Lorne=<3

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

True. But it's never too late to hope for more conversions.

I dunno - it's a complete mystery to me! ;-)

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. Don't you run some community somewhere... :o)

[carta.livejournal.com]

You are one of the few people on my extended friendslist who likes Sheppard/Mitchell. :D

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

Your poor deluded friends list :o( Everyone should like Sheppard/Mitchell, 'variety is the spice of life' be damned!

Back when I first joined the SGA fandom, I went looking for Cam/John, and you were the only person I found who was writing it regularly. Plus you wrote it really, really well.

I kind of suspect that's what most people would say.

On a semi-related note: sorry I haven't emailed back about stargate summer, but it's been a totally manic week. Assuming my phone line's been reconnected (don't ask!) I'll do it tomorrow, since I'm out all evening tonight.

[skieswideopen]

There does seem to be a certain pattern developing in the answers, doesn't there? It may not hold, though. Could be your McShep lured some people in...

No worries on summer of stargate. I have a committee meeting coming up soon, so I haven't really had time for much but work on my dissertation this week--I have to have something to show them.

[ionaonie.livejournal.com]

You totally started as one of my betas, although it took me a moment to remember.

Generally I'm awful at remembering how I meet people. I can't say how I know my best friends. It's slightly worrying.

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, for A Different Rate Of Conversion. I'd totally forgotten that.

[kyizi.livejournal.com]

You gave me the wonder that is John/Cam, for which there is no payment high enough! But I think we bonded over Fire Breathing Lizards ;p

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, the fire breathing lizards. And I threatened to put them in my yuletide fic...

[kyizi.livejournal.com]

You did. And I threatened to let wee!John play with one...

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

Tiny John and fire lizards, and Ronon catching one as a pet! Oh yes :o)

[kyizi.livejournal.com]

LoL, there might be someting coming up along those lines... ;p

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!

[kyizi.livejournal.com]

Actually...wait, have I read your yuletide fic yet? I do not think I have *g* I must go look for it...

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

I feel I must warn you, however, that it is entirely lacking in lizards of any kind. Though now I really wish I'd thrown in a mention of one.

[kyizi.livejournal.com]

LoL, that's okay!

Can you help me out with a link? I is made of fail! *headdesk*

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

Don't Ask, Don't Tell (http://bluflamingo.livejournal.com/89226.html) (Thoughtcrimes, Freya, Brendan, gen)

[kyizi.livejournal.com]

Cool, will go read :)

*first looks up thoughtcrimes on imdb*

*glee* Joe Flannigan is in that! I will need to get a copy! ;p

*goes to read fic*

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

I remember you being the person who introduced me to the awesomeness that is Cam/John, apparently like everyone else here. I feel unspecial. ;)

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

I feel unspecial. ;)

Or we could just say that I'm boring and one track minded. I think I friended you first, though, for your Lorne/Sheppard series. Which will be really embarassing if I'm mixing you up with someone else, but I don't think I am. I read the whole thing in bits and pieces at work for about a week, which infinitely brightened *that* working week.

[slybrarian.livejournal.com]

It's entirely possible that's how it happened. I'm pretty sure I read some of your Cam/John stuff before then, but I used to lurk a lot before commenting or friending.

[bergann.livejournal.com]

I think it was because of Colby/Lorne and you friended me in case I wrote more, and I friended back because well, you're awesome and I had cooed over your Lorne fics many times before but am both horrible at commenting and shy at initial contact.

:D

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

Ah yes. I think after reading The Weight of Secrets for a Secret Agent, which made me go, oh yes, that pairing would *so* work.

[ameshinju.livejournal.com]

ninja007 sent me your way for SGA stories. I'm pretty sure that you're the one who introduced to me the wonderful world of John/Cam. I also love your thoughtcrime fics.

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that you're the one who introduced to me the wonderful world of John/Cam.

That's what everyone says :o) Which is kind of cool - there should be more fans of that pairing.

[smilebackwards.livejournal.com]

Well, I've literally just friended you, because I'm bad at friending, but I discovered your awesomeness when I was looking for sga/sg1 crossovers. And I think you single-handedly converted me to John/Cam with your Big Bang fic.

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

Woo hoo, more converts :o)

[camshaft22.livejournal.com]

I think I found out about you after discovering the John/Cam a thon. Or maybe that's how I found out about that one... But I know it had something to do with that. I'm pretty sure. But what kept me around was your fantastic writing and of course the pretty Cam/John fics.

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

I can't remember either... what a sad commentary on our collective memories :o)

[camshaft22.livejournal.com]

*Sighs*

Yeah, pretty much. *Grins*

[scrollgirl.livejournal.com]

Ha! Amazingly, I did *not* meet you through John/Cam, though that's certainly how I found you again. No, we were both in TWW fandom a couple of years ago, though I wasn't a huge participant beyond writing a few tww_minis fics. I remember admiring your writing then, as I still do today :)

[bluflamingo.livejournal.com]

Amazingly, I did *not* meet you through John/Cam

Ooh, a rebel :o)

No, we were both in TWW fandom a couple of years ago,

Oh yeah. I wrote Sam/Will fic for you for tww-minis once, I remember now. I knew your username sounded familiar!
