It's not you, it's me.

[prillalar]

There's been a bit of a downward trend in my friend-of list lately and I wanted to post and say: that's totally OK. I realise that a lot of people have me friended for HP content and while there will continue to be HP content here (wow, some today even), there will also be Stargate, Fullmetal Alchemist, Farscape, Death Note, Gundam Wing, Samurai Champloo, Prince of Tennis, bits of Star Wars and LotR and TXF now and again, and whatever the hell else takes my fancy.

I'm not monofannish. However, a year ago, there just wasn't much besides HP and Stargate that was engaging me creatively. Now there's more in my brain and so I'm a lot more fragmented than I used to be.

All this is by way of saying that if you want to drop me from your reading list, please just go ahead and drop me. I won't mind or freak out or cry. Today, or any day. If you and I have something of a relationship so you feel awkward or badly about it, you could always leave me a comment or some email to ease the way. Suggested text:

Dear Hal,

As you know, I admire your amazing brain and lust after your fabulous body. However, our interests have diverged and so I must bid your journal adieu for now. Please know that I will always love you.

Yours devotedly,
[your name here]

I'm not trying to chase you away, by any means! But neither should you stay if you'd rather not.

By the same token, you should feel free to lurk or to comment or to friend me or to talk about me behind my back. It's all good. :)

Just don't steal my beer.

Dear Hal,

As you know, I admire your amazing brain and lust after your fabulous body. And what's even better, I'm multifannish with some overlap, so all is peachy unless I've been exceptionally boring and spammy of late, in which case you can drop me without guilt. Please know that I will always love you.

Yours devotedly,
qwerty

Dear Hal,

You are just one of the coolest people in the entire world, not least of all because you post things like this and mean them.

I want to be cool like you when I grow up.

Please know that I will always love you, but I'm definately not removing you from my flist until the last drop of McKay-love is distilled from your amazing brain.

Yours devotedly,
Ari

Dear Hal,

As you know, I admire your amazing brain and lust after your fabulous body. (But that shouldn´t make you very happy because as practically lust over any body). I am very glad you are not monofannish so this way I can share more than one fandom with oh-so-cool-you and enjoy your oh-so-cool writing in more than one fandom. Now I´m just planning ways to get you into the rest of my fandoms...

Yours in magic, alchemy, tennis and whatever...

Dear Hal,

I would just like you to know that I would never steal your beer (although that is only because I don't like beer).

Yours soberly,

Well, damn. Back to the drawing board. *sighs* ;)

Dear Hal,

I'm very excited about *everything* you do...the multifannisher, the better...just wish we'd have better overlap :-(

Oh, and of course all with the love and lost and all...

Yours always,

Cath

Am not going to defriend you but I thought I could tell you anyway how cool you are.

Dear Hal,

As you know, I admire your amazing brain and lust after your fabulous body.

P.S.: I love your Eomer/Eowyn fanfiction. Methinks it's the best out there.

Dear Hal,

I love your brain, and I am ever so grateful that I have it in a jar on my shelf now. I pet it and call it 'George' and fondle it whenever I get the chance.

I do wish that your brain would learn to poo in the litter box, though. Gross.

yrs,

Zort

Hal,
It's the beer. You'll have to guard it extra careful.
-Silver
P.s. I'm sticking around for your HP, LotR, Star Wars, and Star Gate fic. And of course the chance when I can steal so said beer.

[prillalar]

Multifannish with overlap is good! That's how I get all my new fandoms. *g*

[prillalar]

I will always love Rodney, never fear. :) Thanks for the boost!

[prillalar]

Hee! Stick around, then. :)

[prillalar]

Aw, thanks. :) *hugs* What other fandoms are you pimping?

[prillalar]

I'm on to you. You're just trying to distract me so you can grab the beer. *looks around nervously and clutches her Guinness*

[prillalar]

Get your own damn beer. *g*

[prillalar]

*marries you*

[prillalar]

Ah, you just have to start watching all the freaky anime that I'm into. *g* *hugs*

[prillalar]

Thanks so much! I feel all warm and fuzzy now. :)

Brain and brain, what is brain?

[prillalar]

It's all your fault I have to wear this weird helmet like Mr Spock did when he lost *his* brain. But at least nobody at work has noticed yet.

[prillalar]

Hee!

Re: Read carefully

[prillalar]

Aw, thanks, honey. *hugs*

[prillalar]

*My* beer is safe. Just try to take it. :P

[bethbethbeth.livejournal.com]

No! It's true! Would I lie to you?
