Man. I'd completely forgotten how much fun it is to frolick through the RSA. It's like a big slash playground. Wheeee! Blackadder slash! Bottom slash! Oooh, Dead Poets Society! I've not read that since ... ages ago, when Mona was still active in fandom and maintaining the Marrow Of Life archive.

Does anyone but me even remember Mona? Argh. Hi, my name is Melle, and I'm old. Where's my cane? Kids these days ...

Er, I mean, wooo! Slash playground!

Hm, I wasn't involved in fandom before slash, so fandom-wise, I think you're a bit older. I was reading and writing slash in 1996, but I didn't actually get into slash until late 1997. I think we're about matched.

And, yes. Old and bitter. I feel like we should be wearing black turtlenecks and meeting in dark smokey cafés over coffee, bitching about Kids These Days and stuff. <g>

Speaking of Kids These Days, why do you think zendom is a good list?

Also, I was looking for something to read yesterday, and I realized that I still have the address that used to house Mona's webpage bookmarked. It's been a long time, and I still haven't been able to bring myself to delete it.

I liked it because there was, at the time, an interesting discussion going on about things like feedback et al. I dunno, I liked it better than FCA-L, anyway. Why?

Sigh, I know. I can still remember the address of the Slash Links Page by heart, and that's not been updated in three years. (Despite this, I recall its last update. Speaking of things that make one feel old.)

I ask because I'm finding zendom highly irritating. Too much quoting of the posts they're replying to and too many people with incest squicks.

Yeah, it's been irritating lately. If you go back through the archives, there's an interesting thread on critique, feedback and the publicity thereof.

Eh. I may just unsub. I'm not interested in discussion at the moment.
